Missing mob

Dear staff member,

i recently joined and am having an issue.
I always play a hunter, and i always get the same rare pet.
the Ghost Saber, ( https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=3619/ghost-saber )
it (rarely) spawns from Glowing Cat Figurine, in northern darkshore.
this usually takes 5-15 is you're lucky. but it has been known (by me..) to take up to an hour or more.
I waited and tried for over 3 hours before coming here;
since it is not all that uncommon for this feature/mob spawn to be broken.

i *really* love that damn mob as a pet.
I'd apreciate some help
