Town Cat

The Cat is a Town NPC the player encounters. It arrives the next day (4:30 AM) after the player uses the Cat License, which is bought from the Zoologist for. The cat's only use is to be petted. There are 6 breeds of cats, with one randomly being chosen when it arrives. If the cat leaves it will respawn within 1-3 days.

The only requirements for the cat is to use the Cat License and have a house.

The cat's home can be changed like any other NPC, however, the cat can share the same house as another NPC, and will not "Occupy" the house
