A '''cat''' ([[Siege Engine]]) is a sturdy mobile shed used in a [[siege]]. It is designed to roll towards an enemy fortification and provide cover for [[sapper]]s to undermine the wall. Unlike a [[pavise]], they provided cover from above, making them ideal for use directly beneath a defended wall.

Often, [[battering ram]]s were protected by a cat while they advanced.
