Players rejoice! The latest update in Ark Survival Ascended introduces the charming Felis Catus, allowing you to adopt a delightful feline companion. What was once perceived as an April Fools’ joke has evolved into a beloved feature after the release of the entertaining “The Cat: Out Meow”trailer. While these cats may not directly contribute to combat, they possess the ability to chase small prey and deter low-level creatures.
Discover the Fun-Filled World of Cats in Ark Survival Ascended
Let’s discuss the current curiosity: finding these elusive cats. Although sightings are sporadic, players are struggling to locate them in the wild. Alternatively, you can spawn one in-game, though this may not provide the same thrill as finding one organically. To tame your cat, simply feed it a diet of Fish and Mutton to quicken the taming process. Once fully tamed, you can even perch your new friend on your shoulder.

While perched on your shoulder, your furry companion can help scare off minor threats, showcasing adorable animations that mimic real-life cat behaviors. Should you desire to expand your feline family, breeding is possible, leading to the introduction of charming kittens, each featuring subtle differences in appearance.

Cats exhibit interesting idle animations, such as using a litter box in real time, completing the naturalistic portrayal of their behaviors. Although they may be engineered to engage with other players, their effectiveness in combat is quite limited, with claws that inflict minimal damage.

For those who enjoy a bit of whimsy, equip a laser pointer attachment to your weapon. If your feline friend is in proximity, it will enthusiastically chase the dot on the floor. Additionally, dressing up your cat can add an entertaining flair to your adventures—imagine your pet donning a metal helmet to accompany you into battle!
That’s a brief overview of the delightful feline feature in Ark Survival Ascended. Just a friendly reminder: avoid feeding your cats Kibble, as it’s not to their liking!
