The cards look like a panorama Zeal-Hope-Augur. So, that is the same pumpkin.
Almost definitely, given that myhos pack 3 is called "The Dark Side of the Moon".
Also an interesting thing to note is that the skill icons don't match the cards ability. Which means that there will almost never be a chance where they might get stuck in your hand
Does the
One lap, one cat rule
apply?

Gods, if that's one big picture, I would give anything to have it on a playmat.

The picture is on their news article.
I looked at the article in an RSS reader first, which didn't show this picture, so I'll just cross-post it here. It's worth it.
Yep, playmat, please and thank you!

Can't help you with the playmat, but if you preorder it from their website you'll get a 5"x7" of it:
Alas, I have already placed my pre-order elsewhere. Plus shipping from the USA is prohibitive, even for an adorable postcard of mystical cats.

Exactly. (I'm in the US, but the pre-order elsewhere business (or, if the subject is cats, Elsweyr).)
I'm willing to buy those prints of anyone who wants to send them to Europe in a letter?

Exactly what I was referring to in a round about way. 🐱 🌑

I will jump through hoops to give Carolyn all the cats.
She totally should have access to them. I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday trying to figure out a way. Other than Teamwork, using Versatile she could get A Chance Encounter, but that wouldn’t last long. You Owe Me One is the only other 0 level card that could work, but have no idea how that would work with bonded cards. Maybe get Stray Cat and say she is secretly part of their ranks and therefore bonded to all the other kitties, and you are in through the back door.
Edited by Mimi61So we have plenty of Cats of Ulthar in the game. The next step is Matt gives us a Cat From Saturn enemy card. My prediction is if they show up they show up when we go to the dark side of the moon.
Even if I can't find a good way for Carolyn to get these cats in her deck I'll probably play a Carolyn/Agnes play through of Dream Eaters where Carolyn has Foolishness and Agnes has Miss Doyle. Not an optimal run, but it will certainly be good thematic fun. Agnes leaning more Survivor with Meat Cleaver and Zeal out sounds fun and Carolyn will be there to clean up her sanity.

Hmmm. An interesting hypothesis. I wouldn’t put anything past Matt. Even Dogwich was a spoiler. Arkham canines after Cats!!
And here I was serenely hoping for cats all around. Like maybe a mystic cat relic, or a guardian cat event, or some kind of rogue cat skill card, or even a curious cat for seekers. Hey, a girl can dream...

Now I'm just going to be imagining a Burglar that only steals Cats from Ulthar.

I saw it pointed out elsewhere that the skill icons match the two other cats.

Yes, I noticed that as well giving them the once over.
So you could toss one cat on a skill check of the cat in play - at base ability of 5, then discard the cat in play for an auto-success and put the cat tossed for the skill check into play on the next turn.
It is a built in cycling mechanism.
Now the really difficult task is figuring out how to have one cat in play, one cat discarded, and the last cat as the only card in your deck to have an infinite recursion mechanism that never exhausts your deck.
If you have one cat out and draw Unhallowed Country in Dunwich (Allys are blank, you cannot play Allys), you can then attempt to use Flare (search for an Ally and put it into play, which is not playing it) to get a second cat out. Then you just have to pass the Willpower(3) and get rid of the treachery.
