Tips & Strategies
If it’s symbol above its head is red or orange you can lead it to water to passive tame it when it’s swimming. The best way to do so is to have it latch onto you then fly away on your tame and jump off over water. If you have a wyvern you can hit C when on land to push it to water aswell if it makes its way to land.

Stand outside and say “Pspspspsps”
Wait… it’s a cat, why is it the ONE thing that doesn’t prefer kibble?!?!?
Ride to the cat on a argy or some kind of flying mount that can attack. Stay on it and go over to the cat while flying. If you dismount it and the cat has a red logo above you... FLY! it will attack your face and try to kill you. You cannot ignore it
If it has a yellow logo above it that means you can't tame it and it will attack you IF you get close. If it has a green logo you can tane it. You will need to pur raw prime meat in your last hot bar spot and feed the cat slowly. Keep on feeding it and it is normal for the cat to run away, if it does then just chase it. Hope this helps all the newcomers (sorry it was so long, easier done than said)
On Ragnarok, you know where blue ob is in the empty area where you find all the velociraptors they’ll be a cat around there. Hope this helps.
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….
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.
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.
Why does it drink wyvern milk? Surely that isnt healthy for it, right?
Bison milk works too! Just as good as wyvern milk.
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
