Best Answer

Yes, you need not only the regular World of Warcraft game, you need the two other expansions in order to play Cataclysm. This is because if you level to level 60 then you will need to level to level 70 (Burning Crusade Expansion) if you want to continue leveling. Then you will need to level to level 80 (Wrath of the Lich King) and then finally level 85 (Cataclysm). You do not have to level to 85 but most people who buy the expansion do.

You will need:

World of Warcraft (original/regular game)

The Burning Crusade (now included for free in the basic version of the game)

Wrath of the Lich King

Do you need World of Warcraft to play cat?

If with Cat you mean a Cat Druid, then yes you would have to play World of Warcraft. If you simply want to play a game with cats, there are plenty of pet-raising games around, and the online MMO Tera which is scheduled to be released in 2011 will feature the Popori race, which are cute anthropomorphic animals. I think what the asker meant was do you need World of Warcraft in order to play Cataclysm. If that was the question, then yes you do need the original World of Warcraft and also the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansion.


What World of Warcraft game to you buy?

There is only one World of Warcraft game. It has a few expansions though. You should start out with the vanilla (the original game) wow, and decide if you like it. Then you can add each expansion in order, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and finally Cataclysm. You need to add each in order though, as each gives you access to new levels and content. If you want to play cataclysm content, then you need to first upgrade your account to Burning Crusade and then upgrade to Wrath of the Lich King, and finally Cataclysm.
