I'm the one who saw it in Theed. I had just read about it on SWGCreatures, so I was surprised to say the least to see it there. I saw and targeted it through the SP wall.

The picture is Faked here is the evidence taht draws me to that conclusion:
1) The examine box says Agressive. But if you look at the radar. The Blue box to the north which says whats selected is yellow indicating non-agressive.
2) There name of the animal there is a box of di-colorization around in the in upp right corner.
3) The Ham bars are pretty uneven usually a creauter has pretty balanced bars.

We can't really be sure until we further investigate, I think. And the HAM could have been either typoed or it is a very wierd creature stat wise.

Not typoed. Look at the HAM bars in the screenshot.
Something interesting, though - if whoever had "faked" that picture had bungled up the HAM bars, why would he/she post the same mismatched HAM on SWGCreatures.com?

We shouldn't just dismiss this as an automatic "fake".
And a yellow con showing as Agressive could be one of those wierdcreatures that have agro problems.Ever see Naboo's Plain Tusk Cats? They show as Agro (andred on Radar)yet don't agro (unless you are on a bike).

i talked to one of the people in the spatial in that screenshot, and that person said they never saw that animal, nor any other mobs on his radar at that time.
the one that hasn't responded to me still isn't responding.

the following assume it isn't a photoshopped screenshot (i don't believe is it)
you can't go by the HAM, i've seen several creatures with eneven HAM bars. i could spend a half hour on any planet and get a ton of screenshots to prove this point. even creatures from the same lairs can and do have different HAM from eachother.
it's not a BE creature as there's no 'master' listed and there's no way for a BE pet to show up yellow on the radar. they are either white or red.
that being said, i'll be spending some time on naboo trying to find one of these

Ive seen a couple of creatures around lairs on correlia with similarily odd looking HAM, it does seem to vary from creature to creature.

First the pix is from the Theed Starport entrance. Shooting at an angle thru the building to the east. An examination of the picture confirms that it is the Theed Starport entrance and the loc below the GPS in the lower lft is exactly right for that image of the starport entrance. Now the theed starport has a rather unique lobby. In fact I have seen no other like it. The fountain plants and 2 couches are exactly where they belong.
Now I next placed a wp at the given loc where the photographer was standing and verified that she is much taller then me and her screen colors are a litte different. Otherwise things seemed to be in the right position. Next I went to were the yellow dot was. Or rather I tried. As I suspected the yellow dot is inside the Theed starport. I got as close as 105 m on the outside by the river when I was directly east of the given location.
Now I know we can use tab to target an NPC inside a bldg but how do we "examine" it. I will presume there is a commandline option /examine? otherwise how do get the window up. Others have noticed the yellow dot while the text says agressive 'yes' That remains the most glaring error in the photo. The next possible error is harder to confirm. In the spatial text someone is shouting and advert for a place that is 870m from this spo.... the full text is covered however the given location *would* be about 870m from here if the wp is -5307. The - is covered sigh. The next line says you cant see that object but the photographer was able to bring up examine? interesting.
So in summary the object cant be seen. It is inside a bulding. It has a yellow instead of a red dot. This tends tward a probable fake or CSR playing around conclusion rather than a new creature that can be tamed. And one wonders how the photograper knew it was there to take a pix of to begin with
Needless to say I will look around Naboo for such a creature and if found I will report back (and try for more pix too
-Indene-
P.S. with a ferocity of 8 and aggressive it should have been all over that blue dot on the radar that was only about 30 m away.

Part of the Starport has some sort of bug where in a really walled area untouchable by us, NPCs will spawn. I've seen some semi strong NPCs spawn in the middle of 20m of Starport wall.

it's possible the poster tried to select "tame" or even tried to see if they could attack the creature, that would bring up the "yuo can't see that object" message.
you can indeed type /examine, i do it all the time myself from afar after tabbing to a creature or npc if i don't want to get close enough to bring up the radial menu, or can't bring it up because it's moving too quickly.
as for agroing, if something is trapped in a wall or building it will not agro anything. i've seen several agressive mobs and npcs who are only slightly trapped in a wall, or even a rock, where almost their entire body is visible, yet i cannot attack them, and they do not agro me.
not that i have an opinion either way on whether or not the kitty cat is real, just offering an explanation for some of your points

U guys are missing some big things.
-A creature does NOT have to be red for it to be aggressive. This is proven.
-HAM bars like that are VERY common.
-"You cant see this object", more proof this is indeed real.
However, ive seen some AMAZING things done with photoshop....
Nonetheless, it is my conclusion it is REAL.
