General
The Cat is an Uncommon Pet added in the Animal Update. It can be obtained by hatching the Uncommon Egg, costing 150,000 Sheckles with a 53% chance to appear in the shop and a 25% hatch chance, taking approximately 30 minutes to hatch. It is a replica of the Orange Tabby with different colors, with an estimated hunger of 1,200 (based on similar Uncommon pets).
Appearance
The Cat has a grey body with dark grey whiskers and markings, pink inner ears and nose, and black eyes and mouth. It shares the same model as the Orange Tabby.
Traits
Every 80 seconds, the Cat naps for 10 seconds, causing new fruit within 10 studs to grow 1.25x larger, increasing their value. The ability improves slightly as the pet ages. Stacking multiple Cats enhances the frequency or size boost of the ability. The effect only applies to newly planted fruit during the nap, limiting its scope.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Increases fruit size by 1.25x (improving with age), boosting sale value for nearby crops
- Uncommon rarity makes it accessible for mid-game players
- Useful for players focusing on high-value fruit crops like Mango or Dragon Fruit
Cons:
- Limited to a 10-stud range and new fruit only, less versatile than Cow (speeds all plant growth) or Dragonfly (turns crops golden)
- Occupies one of three pet slots, competing with more impactful pets like Raccoon
- Long cooldown (80 seconds) and short nap duration (10 seconds) reduce frequency of effect
Trivia
- Less powerful version of the Orange Tabby, with a smaller range (10 vs. 15 studs) and weaker size boost (1.25x vs. 1.5x)
- Ranked in C-Tier by community sources
- Features a unique nap animation during ability activation
