Rulings (2)
- If you gain life during your turn before Cat Collector is on the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger that turn even if you gain life again later in the turn.
- Cat Collector's last ability triggers just once and creates just one Cat token for the first life-gaining event on each of your turns, no matter how much life you gain.
