Cat

"Kitten" redirects here. For the similarly named lynx kitten see: Lynx

Cats, called kittens as babies, are small carnivorous animals. Unsurprisingly, you can't get them to do anything. On the upside, they don't eat much, and cheer up your colonists with their nuzzles.

Analysis

Cats often start bonded with your colonists as a random pet at the start of the game. Cats are one of the few animals that can nuzzle colonists, giving a +4 Nuzzled moodlet to colonists.

Other than their nuzzles, these cats are more of a nuisance than anything. If you don't have meat, they can feed off meals (vegetarian or not), corpses, and are also able to hunt small game like rats and squirrels.

Training

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.
