Cat-Ear Hood

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Refia wearing the Cat-Ear Hood.

The Cat-Ear Hood, also known as the Cat-Hood, is a recurring piece of equipment in the Final Fantasy series. It is most well-known as a trademark hood that some White Mages wear, and is otherwise a powerful hat for younger characters of the playable party. At other times however, it has simply been part of a character sprite and not an actual piece of armor.

Each subsequent version of the Hood gives larger defense and stat boosts than the one prior, with the Grey Cat Hood providing 51 defense, +3 to Attack, and +5 to Magic. Fur Coats with the same color schemes are also in the game, and their Scrolls are also associated with "kitties".
