Cat

Cat

A cozy companion that purrs by the fire.

The Cat Egg

Sold by Farmhand Steve after you defeat him in battle. It is a one-time-use spawn egg: right-click the ground inside a claim or rented plot where you can build (overworld only) to release a permanent Cat onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 25 to buy AND to use, and the animal counts toward your 50-animal ranch cap. Ranch Protection (toggled per claim in /claimmanager) keeps released animals safe from harm.

Steve's price:

A Turtle Ticket (earned by defeating the Ninja Turtle) pays for any ONE egg in place of its full item cost - the Gathering gate still applies.

Other ways to find the egg

Once you have the Gathering level, cats can hand you the egg themselves: every time you feed one, defeat one in combat, or startle one with the Leaf Staff, there is a 1 in 2,500 chance it leaves a Cat Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding cats

Right-click any adult cat while holding Raw/Cooked Chicken or Raw/Cooked Cod, Raw/Cooked Salmon, Tropical Fish or any custom fish (never Pufferfish) to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Pufferfish. While your Cat Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Cat Pet

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling cats can earn you the Cat Pet - one per player, ever. While it follows you it improves that animal's feeding odds and can add a bonus drop on your kills. Its unique perk - Nine Lives: your out cat pet shields your spawner cats for up to 25% less animal damage. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Cat Spawner

Trade Cat Eggs back to Steve for a Cat Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable cat on your claim - complete with its own job.
