Rock cat and gargoyle

I have a quick question. On the Rock Cat, it is written Gargoyle Creature. Does that mean it is a gargoyle and a creature (separately), or a gargoyle creature ? If the card is considered a gargoyle, is it the same gargoyle as the clan, of an unrelated keyword ? (since it is not a vampire)

For example, can a Rock Cat play Racking Talon or recruit another Rock Cat ?

For the Racking Talon, if an ally somehow play Raking Talon, can he play more than one per combat ? (even if it is pointless)

Rock Cat

[Ally] Ally

[Gargoyle] Gargoyle

[4 Pool]

Gargoyle creature with 4 life. 3 strength, 0 bleed.
Rock Cat may enter combat with a ready minion as a action. Opposing vampires with capacity 3 or less cannot strike in the first round. Rock Cat gets an optional press each combat. Rock Cat may play cards requiring basic Potence [pot] as a 3-capacity vampire.

Raking Talons

[Combat] Combat

[Gargoyle] Gargoyle

Only usable before range is determined.
For the remainder of combat, damage from this Gargoyle's hand strikes is aggravated. A vampire may play only one Raking Talons each combat.

No Rock Cat is not a gargoyle and can't play any cards that require a gargoyle. It is simply an ally of the 'gargoyle creature' type.

Thanks ! (not that rock cat really *need* racking talon... )

Correct.
