A '''fat cat''', {{white|f}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SpliceHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The fat cat is a [[strong]] [[domestic]] [[feline]] that can be seen via [[infravision]] like all felines, and will seek out [[gold]] to pick up.

A fat cat has a single bite attack.

[[Eating]] a fat cat [[corpse]] or [[tin]] will confer the [[aggravate monster]] intrinsic, unless the character is an [[Orc (starting race)|orc]] or a [[Caveman]].

[[Chatting]] to a fat cat will give [[#Messages|various responses]], depending on its [[tameness]] and condition.

==Generation==
Fat cats are not randomly generated. A [[large cat]] can [[grow up]] into a fat cat.

==Origin==
{{wikipedia}}
The fat cat being a [[gold lover]] is a [[pun]] on the term "fat cat": originally used to describe rich political donors, it is commonly used nowadays to describe a rich, powerful and greedy person who is able to "live easy" off the work of others; in the United Kingdom, it is also used to refer to executives whose pay is deemed by others to be excessive.

==Messages==
{{message|<The fat cat> yowls.|Your tame fat cat is caught in a [[trap]], [[confused]], [[scared]], or at low tameness.}}
{{message|<The fat cat> whimpers.|A leashed tame fat cat is near a square with a trap.}}

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Well-known quadruped domestic animal from the family of
predatory felines (_Felis ochreata domestica_), with a thick,
soft pelt; often kept as a pet. Various folklores have the
cat associated with magic and the gods of ancient Egypt.

So Ulthar went to sleep in vain anger; and when the people
awakened at dawn - behold! Every cat was back at his
accustomed hearth! Large and small, black, grey, striped,
yellow and white, none was missing. Very sleek and fat did
the cats appear, and sonorous with purring content.
