Town Cat

The Cat is a Town NPC. It arrives at dawn (4:30 AM) the day after the player uses the Cat License, which is purchased 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 is killed it will respawn within 1-3 days. Like the Angler, the cat's death message is " has left!".

The only requirements for the Cat is the use of a Cat License and the presence of a valid House. The Cat's House can be changed, as with any other NPC, however the Cat can share the same house as another NPC.

The Cat count as an NPC for the purposes of Pylons.
