Town NPCs charge less when they are happy: the game lowers their prices for loved and liked biomes and neighbours and raises them for disliked and hated ones.
Drops
Town Cat drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Acquiring feline licenses from the Zoologist
Players can welcome a feline friend after unlocking 20% of the Bestiary, requiring approximately one hundred and eight logged entries. Meeting this research threshold allows the Zoologist to sell the Cat License for five gold coins. Using the license prompts a Town Cat to arrive at sunrise the next morning, seeking out warm hearths and furnished rooms.
The feline companion roams town with 250 life and 15 defense, dealing 10 contact damage against pests that invade the house.
Domestic habits, bed napping, and morning gifts
Town Cats exhibit lively domestic behavior, frequently curling up to nap on player beds, sofas, or storage chests. More importantly, well-cared-for cats occasionally present morning gifts to players upon waking or after being petted, leaving small items like mice, rats, feathers, or small fish on the floor.
These small gifts can be collected for bait or sold for pocket money, giving feline companions charming utility alongside their domestic warmth. They will also happily chase wandering butterflies and grasshoppers across town lawns.
Selecting coat breeds and town comfort
The Town Cat can share housing with any town resident without incurring crowding penalties. It comes in a variety of coat breeds: Siamese, Black, Orange Tabby, Russian Blue, Silver, and Bengal. Purchasing and reading a new Cat License allows players to cycle the cat's coat to their preferred breed.
Having a Town Cat in a remote outpost counts toward the resident threshold needed to power regional Pylons, keeping transit stations fully operational without triggering neighbor complaints.
Feline curiosity on village rooftops
Town cats frequently scale tables, leap across elevated platforms, and perch atop town roofs to survey the landscape. They emit soothing purring sound cues when petted by their owner. Their agile movements and cozy sleeping animations bring lively charm to player towns without demanding food or specialized housing construction, making every base feel like a true home.
Trivia
- Town Cats are immune to fall damage, landing gracefully on their feet from any height.
- Petting the Town Cat grants heartwarming visual feedback and counts toward town pet milestones.
