The second region slot tells you the pattern of the cat:

Blue (2) - Calico Cat

Green (3) - Bengal Cat (Leopard/Stripe pattern)

Yellow (4) - Tabby Cat

Red (1) - Siamese Cat (Solid Colors, no patterns)

I hope this helps! <3

Wildcard patched being able to bring them to water to tame. It's just to stop it from scratching you. You can also punch them to get them to come off, bolas don't seem to work once they're latched onto you (maybe a tribemate can do it for you).

From what we've tried you can't tame them even if they have the yellow symbol, and just had to kill any of them that don't have the green symbol. They all just say "This cat doesn't want to be tamed by you". Bring a friend/tribemate to better the odds of them liking one of you since they like different people. It seems to be much like the IRL "cat distribution system".

Also had better luck with spawns on The Island as opposed to The Center, not sure about Astraeos.

Wait… it’s a cat, why is it the ONE thing that doesn’t prefer kibble?!?!?

Use prime fish(get by killing larger salmon and harvest with a pick or preferably sickle) also can get from sharks with the same tools

Scares away pegomastax, icthyornis, and microraptors when you have the pest control function enabled!

Seriously all these new tips being posted with saying bring it to the water to tame it, try it first before you waste peoples time. YOU CAN NOT BRING IT TO WATER TO TAME IT ANYMORE! Unless my server is just bugged. Someone try it and let me know….

Full ghillie and cactus broth to make murder mittens not rip your face off sneak up on them passive tame. They are able to breed and clone.

Stand outside and say “Pspspspsps”

If it dies you can CONSUME the death essence to bring it back to life without a oasisaurus!

Use prime fish meat to passive tame... if you attack one it will scratch your face ( I had to try it for ark science)
