Feline

Cat or other feline, or just feline, refers to a monster class in NetHack, represented by ​f. Only domestic cats can be tamed with comestibles, but it is possible to acquire other felines as pets as with any other monster type.

The felines in NetHack fall into two categories:

• Domestic cats:
  • f kitten
  • f housecat
  • f large cat
• Wild felines:
  • f jaguar
  • f lynx
  • f panther
  • f tiger

Most felines are rather fast, which can enable them to catch up to you and deal surprising amounts of damage if you are unprepared for them.

The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.

All felines now have infravision. Displacer beasts are being added.
