Hungry cat scavenger hunt
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
(Redirected from Hungry cat)
Jump to navigationJump to search
Across Tyria, one can find, aside from non-interactable cats, a number of cats and kittens that will accept certain food items, ingredients, or other specific items; some under specific circumstances. Feeding these cats affects all home instances for all characters of the account.
Overview[edit]
There are currently 35 cats that can be unlocked. (Only 34 cats will appear in the Home Instance, [of the unlockable two grey cats, only one or the other will appear].)
- Collecting a cat will make a Dead Bird appear in the home instance, occasionally. After five days, one of the unlockable grey cats may also appear at the entrance.
- Feeding ice cream desserts to the four cats in Dry Top and The Silverwastes will add black cats that appear in home instances playing with a snowball.
- Feeding profession specific cats in the starting areas or, in the case of the Revenant profession, in the Heart of the Mists, will add up to nine black cats that appear in home instances fighting each other.
- Feeding spicy steak dishes to the five cats by the crafting stations in Lion's Arch, Divinity's Reach, Ebonhawke and Ember Bay will make orange tabby cats appear near the locations where harvesting nodes appear in the home instance once unlocked.
- Feeding the two kittens in The Grove will make them appear alternately following the day and night cycle. The black one appears during the day, and the white one appears during the night. The corresponding kitten will appear at the door and walk to a fixed position until the day/night cycle switches.
- Feeding the Feline Familiar will make her appear next to the Raw Candy Corn in the home instance.
- Rescuing the frozen Snow Leopard Cub near the Bitterfrost Frontier Insight: The Bitter Cold will make the cub appear in your home instance and follow you around. You do not need to feed the cub anything, but you must thaw the cub out by interacting with it while carrying Koda's Flame. If you are under the effects of Cold Resistance it makes it easier to get to this cub, but it is not a requirement. When rescued, the cub gets infatuated's visual effect.
- Feeding super hot soups to the four frozen cats in the racial cities will make them appear in a warm place of each home instance around a pot of hot soup made by the cats.
- Feeding the ghostly cat while under the effect of a ghostly aura will make the ghostly cat's spirit appear in the home instance.
- Feeding Lady Wisteria Whiskington during the Confessor's End mission will make her appear next to the Bloodstone Crystal Node in the home instance.
- Feeding the bee dog will make a Scottish Fold wearing a blue bauble aura collar with the title "Honors in Applied Jumping" appear in the home instance.
- Feeding Simon Fractal materials will make a Celestial cat appear in the home instance.
- Feeding both Yellow Catmander and Blue Catmander will spawn two kitten zergs stacking on their respective Catmanders. After a moment of staring the enemy down, the Catmanders will cast Empower on their zerg and then rush towards each other to skirmish in a cloud of "BAM!" and "POW!" icons.
Several Mad Spirits in the Mad King's Labyrinth, including Madame Cookie, are cats that cannot be unlocked.
Cats in your home instance can be toggled with a Feline Dispersing Resonator.
