So I've been notizing this quite a lot lately and the two people I asked ingame had no answer, so here we are. What does define the pet size? As you can see on the screenshot both my pet and the tortoise in the distance are tiny compared to the blood elves cat.
Could someone explain to me how his cat is so much bigger? At first I thought it applies to level 80 pets because the devilsaur and wolf I saw for example were 80, however both this guy and his pet are only level 58.
