Cat

The Cat is a small shoulder pet added to ASA in 2025. It fights from its owner's shoulder, chases off common pests, and makes the items it carries weigh half as much on you. It cannot be ridden.

Where to find it

It is most frequent on Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero. It is rare on The Island, The Center, Extinction and Lost Colony.

Taming

A passive tame. Put Raw Prime Fish Meat in the last hotbar slot, approach a calm cat and feed it repeatedly until the tame finishes. Angry or scared cats cannot be tamed alone, so a second survivor helps.

Breeding

• Gestation: live birth after about 2.6 hours.
• Growth: a kitten matures in about 1.3 days at 1x.

Uses

• Pest control: every few seconds it scares off Compys, Ichthyornis, Meganeura, Microraptors, Pegomastax and Titanomyrma in a wide radius.
• Combat: Bite and Pounce, which latches onto a target's face and keeps dealing damage.
• Carrying: halves the weight of the items it holds.

Tips

It can wear helmets and has nine lives, so it can be revived from your inventory.
