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 sappers to undermine the wall. Unlike a pavise, they provided cover from above, making them ideal for use directly beneath a defended wall.
Often, battering rams were protected by a cat while they advanced.
