The Cat is a tiny house cat that anyone can tame. It only fights when attacked and is too weak to be useful in a fight.
Overview
- In-game name: a cat
- Corpse: a cat corpse
- Looks: each cat spawns with a random animal color.
- Behavior: it leaves you alone unless you attack it, then fights in melee (animal AI).

| Hit points | 6 |
| Stamina | 35 (same as its Dexterity) |

Taming
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum Animal Taming | −0.9 (anyone can try, even with no skill) |
| Control slots | 1 |
| Maximum owners | 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame) |
| Bonding | Yes |
| Rideable | No |
| Favorite food | Meat or fish |
- Anyone can try. Its minimum is below 0, so you can tame it even with no Animal Taming skill.
- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches 100% at 49.0 skill (about 2% even at 0 skill). Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
- Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
- Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
- Obedience. Once tamed, its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so it always obeys its owner.
- Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
- After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.
Pack instinct
Cats hunt better in groups. When several of your pets from the same pack group (the feline group: cats, cougars, panthers, snow leopards and hell cats) attack the same creature while standing next to it (within 1 tile), each gets extra melee damage:
- 2 pets: +25%
- 3 pets: +50%
- 4 pets: +75%
- 5 or more: +100%
All the pets must have the same owner. The bonus only applies against other creatures, not against players.
Bonding
Only the owner can bond with a cat. Its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so there's no Animal Taming requirement to bond. Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.
Loot
It carries no loot.
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 1 raw ribs
Tips
- Anyone can tame a cat, and it always obeys.
- With only 6 hit points it's a companion, not a fighter.
- Cats count as felines for the pack instinct bonus.
- It has positive karma (150), unlike most animals.
