Cattail is an aquatic recurring plant from the arcade game Plants vs. Zombies that attacks zombies by shooting homing spikes on the lawn. Actually, Cattail is upgraded from Lily Pad, replacing the ability to hold plants with the ability to fire spikes, giving priority to airborne Balloon Zombies. Cattail looks like a plant with the head of a cat and a tail in the form of a perennial reed from the genus Typha, from which its name comes.
