 The kitten and its grown up forms are sometimes better fighters than newly started characters, and can be used to fight for you in the early stages of the game.  Nevertheless, they may be more vulnerable than you against passive attacks, such as [[acid]]ic monsters or [[floating eye]]s.  They are also extremely vulnerable to [[falling rock trap]]s and [[rolling boulder trap]]s and many die from these within the first hundred turns of a game.

 Taming wild cats is usually easy, because all sizes of cat are considered [[domestic animal]]s.
