cats_v3.2.0_petai_v3.0.+.zip  1-click install


>>Needs PetAI to function!<<

Summary

Russian translation provided by Mamoru Mondai.

Mod Showcase by NiclAss.

French translation by Cendar.

Compatibility:

Small mod that introduces cats as tameable pets. The credit vor the catmodel belongs completely to Kerrech, as I merely adopted it and made some small modifications. I added a small in game guide on how to tame a wild cat.
Once tamed, it should prove useful against lower tier drifters.

FAQ

  • Is this mod compatible with game version X?
    • Most likely yes. If only the last number in the vanilla version (1.20.X) differs from whats listed here, there is a 95% chance that the mod will still work.
  • How do I interact with cats?
    • Try enabling block-interaction-help in the vanilla settings. If this does not help:
      • Open up a new creative world.
      • Spawn a cat.
      • Get yourself the magic golden bone under the special tab.
      • Right click the cat and enjoy.
      • If any of these steps fail, the mod is most likely not installed properly. Make sure to have the correct version of PetAI installed and see here for other tips.
  • I found a bug, how do I make you fix it?
    • To be able to fix your bug, I need to be able to recreate it on my end.
    • Please create a short step by step guide on how you got to bug, please also describe what you expected to happen. (e.g. create a new world -> spawn house cat -> feed it egg -> game crashes)
    • You can also provide screenshots if you think they can help visualize what went wrong.
    • Also please answer the following questions:
      • What game version are you playing?
      • What mod version do you have installed?
      • What other mods do you have installed?
      • Are you in a Singleplayer world or do you play on a server with friends?

Is this compatible with biomes?

💬 Evoken, May 5th at 11:04 PM

Gerste Thank you so much ^^

💬 Gerste , May 5th at 6:40 PM

Sure:

  • Unzip the mod.
  • Go to assets/cats/patches/entities.
  • Delete drifter.json, shiver.json and bowtorn.json.
  • Rezip the mod.

Evoken

💬 Evoken, May 5th at 12:25 AM

Is there a possibility to turn off drifter mechanic when cat is nearby?

💬 Gerste , Apr 26th at 9:14 AM

Added a new PetAI release to fix that. LambdaE

💬 LambdaE, Apr 26th at 2:20 AM

i think since the most recent petai update hovering over cats will crash the game..

💬 Gerste , Apr 25th at 7:02 PM

Readded the possibility to revive completely dead creatures in the newest PetAI version. Sofcrew MainTronPower

💬 MainTronPower, Apr 20th at 7:54 AM

Any way to revive a dead cat? My mom's cat just got killed in one hit during a stom while it was in the base, it did not go to mortally wounded (though I don't know if cats do, I've never had one get attacked before) and just straight to "mangled body" I cannot find anything for ressurecting the poor thing and I've been searching online for three hours now.

 

Edit: just went through the patch notes again and had missed that the one we were on was the one where revivability got removed apparently. I updated to the latest version before commenting while trying to test if I could revive the cat but that didn't do anything, so is the poor thing just doomed and I need to roll back to the last backup to save her?

💬 Sofcrew, Apr 17th at 5:26 PM

Gerste how do you open the file? every program i use just has blank squares

also nothing is reviving my cat.

💬 Gerste , Apr 14th at 4:04 PM

You can open up the mod files and remove this section from under cats/entities/land/cat-(fe)male.json. derpy3907

You can see all that info about here. You can also mess with these values and rezip the mod if you want to experiment with it. If you upload that version to your server, your players should also experience the changes, as this behavior is only handled serverside. pokiipanda



💬 derpy3907, Apr 13th at 1:19 AM

can we get a sertting for cats to not run away from dogs? i have a small house and its driving me insane.

💬 pokiipanda, Apr 12th at 3:26 AM

How long does it take for two cats to breed?

Edit: My female cat got pregnant but she's been that way for a week in-game. Just curious as to how long it takes for them to give birth.

💬 Shion, Apr 10th at 6:43 AM

My cat insisted on burning to death in a firepit...

💬 Snarts, Apr 9th at 2:41 AM

my cats and wolfs are gone on my server after 1.20.7 update. ive updated both the cats mod and the api and and now the mods doesnt work.

💬 Gerste , Apr 8th at 6:06 PM

Try disabling pet-pvp in the modconfig of petai and restart the server MiniKarma

💬 MiniKarma, Apr 7th at 10:18 PM

Hello! My friend was new to the game and accidentally hit Whiskers instead of petting them. Now, the cat won't stop trying to kill my friend. Is there a cooldown before it stops? Does it needs to sate its thirst of blood? I tried feeding it and they just ran for a kill with food in their mouth. Thanks!

💬 Vuldovyol, Mar 4th at 10:39 AM

For those seeing the person from earlier going "Don't download this," the moderators told them to knock it off and the author complied.

💬 VaelophisNyx, Mar 4th at 1:07 AM

Avoid downloading this one folks, the author has decided to start UUID blacklisting players from using the library mod PetAI at all :)

Don't tolerate this childish behavior

💬 AmethystZhou, Mar 2nd at 3:12 AM

Aszek572 Check your controls settings, there's an option to "Lock mouse modifiers to sneak/sprint keys". This may cause some conflicts if you have swapped or changed sneak and sprint from the default keys.

💬 Aszek572, Mar 1st at 5:50 AM

Hey, not sure what's going on, but the method to give pets commands - Sneak + Right click - is also the same as the one to pet them and overrides the petting mechanic. I would very much like to pet the cats, please. I'm fairly sure I was able to do this in previous versions, so hopefully it's not some sort of mod conflict.

💬 Mazzy, Feb 26th at 12:05 AM

but what PetMudstone said =p
this is also preventing placing any animals into the world via creative mode so...
💬 PetMudstone, Feb 15th at 2:09 AM

Apparently Vintage Story updated animal definitions work, so this needs an update to fix that. Apparently you just need to change one of the numbers in "/server/behaviors/..." so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

 

Edit: I actually PR'd the changes myself on the GitHub!

💬 MiniKarma, Jan 28th at 9:23 PM

Could we get the ability to pick them up? I got mine stuck in a cellar and would like to pick it up and out, since it is accessible only with a ladder. Thank you!

💬 Sell, Jan 13th at 5:17 AM

AzuliBluespots

My thoughts exactly, devastating to read the changelog and find out the tiny hats are no longer with us this version. Hopefully it's a temporary issue, the small cat hats were a big hit in my world.

Honestly, just glad to know this lovely mod is still getting some love.
Cheers,

💬 Snowfious, Jan 13th at 2:03 AM

Unless I'm missing something, please add compatibility with Carry-On, so we can carry our pets to get them out of spaces if and when they fall into.

💬 Khana, Jan 12th at 5:24 PM

can u make it so a tamed cat will chase mice and other critters from the critter pack please?!!! this would be awesome., especially if you can pick what critters to hunt.

 

 

 

💬 Snowfious, Jan 12th at 12:45 AM

AzuliBluespots Probably just broken with the current API, hopefully can get re-added, because trust me, no one would get rid of that if they didn't have to.

💬 AzuliBluespots, Jan 11th at 8:15 PM

Wait, they had HATS??? And now we can't REVIVE THEM????

💬 edwinfox, Jan 2nd at 9:01 PM

All my kittens show as generation 1 when they are kittens but the moment the become adults they no longer have a generation, Happening with Ocelots, Servals & wildcats that i have sounds similar to the issues that have hit gndrneutralnoun

💬 Nightwolf, Aug 6th 2024 at 11:07 PM

I have the same issue as nocakeno.  I do have a fairly large number of mods including feverstonewilds, petai (needed for this mod and wolftaming mod), wolf taming mod.  So far I can't give anything to the cats to begin taming them and I am only able to use bones for wolf pups.  Are there any known mods that conflict with this mod that might cause this behavior?

💬 nocakeno, Aug 5th 2024 at 12:08 AM

I can't feed cats at all for some reason. :( It's probably that I have too many mods

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Aug 4th 2024 at 4:51 PM

Update: The same thing appears to be happening with cockatrices from Feverstone Wilds. They and cats are the only pets I've tried to breed yet, so it could be happening to all pets for all I know.

 
💬 gndrneutralnoun, Aug 3rd 2024 at 7:41 PM

Thanks, you're the MVP as always!

 
💬 Gerste , Aug 2nd 2024 at 5:42 PM

Hm sounds strange, I dont do anything different from vanilla afaik. I will add it to the list of weird stuff I need to look into gndrneutralnoun

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Aug 1st 2024 at 3:00 PM

Hi, I've been breeding my cats to try and get higher generations, but the kittens don't seem to increase in generation. Is this a bug, or is there supposed to be something specific done to make them breed and increase in generation?

 
💬 FROG5TAR, Jul 12th 2024 at 7:55 AM

@Gerste Love this mod, was wondering as read though the comments if breeding and water/food bowls are on your todo list :)

💬 Vexin_Irso, Jun 26th 2024 at 11:46 PM

@mildred Thanks tons!

💬 Mildred, Jun 24th 2024 at 5:44 AM

Vexin_Irso If you have the mod Animal Cages, you can make a Small Animal Cage (open) and attack your cat with it, then carry it around. Put down the cage and destroy it. Be careful which way the latch faces. I have sometimes had cats phase through walls to the outside. Make sure to place the cage in the middle of a room, that is best. 

💬 Vexin_Irso, Jun 19th 2024 at 10:26 PM

Hello, is there anyway to pick my cat back up after putting him down? Mine is stuck in my celler(ladder).

💬 Mildred, Jun 13th 2024 at 9:28 AM

I have a question: Can I transport the cats? Can I gift them to other people? Or do I tell them to follow me and then abandon them in the other person's house? (Also: Thank you for fixing the hitboxes. Cats can now enter normally through doors and it's a huge quality of life improvement. <3 )

Edit: For anybody else with the same question: Small animal cage (open) from the mod Animal Cages  can transport small animals. You can hit your cat or kitten with it and transport it around. To gift your cat to other people, either don't tame it (if it is your kitten) or just simply put it down, hit the shift-click command window and on the little button with the collar, you can then do 'Abandon pet', so somebody else can tame it. 

💬 Maamessu, May 26th 2024 at 4:37 PM

Mildred - Yes, the bucket needs water in it.

💬 Mildred, May 26th 2024 at 12:37 PM

So, I tried making the Carnivorous Pet Cookies. I used a normal bucket, bonemeal, red meat and rye flour. But the crafting window doesn't do anything. Am I missing something? There isn't anything in the guide that I can find. Does the bucket need to be filled with water maybe? 

Edit: Okay, thank you Maamessu! :)

💬 Dekkan, May 14th 2024 at 1:44 PM

We run both FotSA: Pantherinae and Cats on our server without issue.  If you're looking to tame cats from the FotSA mod that's a no.

Adaltan

💬 Adaltan, May 14th 2024 at 12:15 PM

Will it be compatible with the "Fauna of the Stone Age: Pantherinae" mod?

💬 Gerste , Apr 27th 2024 at 11:06 PM

Thanks for pointing that out. The kittens use a different way of following than the adults so that must have slipped in. I will add it to my todo list. Meliora

💬 Meliora, Apr 8th 2024 at 1:54 AM

Hey, first of all, I love this mod and thank you for making it!  Secondly, even though I disabled teleporting in petai, the kittens I tamed keep teleporting to follow me everywhere when I want to keep them in my home.  I tried to use the whistle that comes with petai to tell them to stay but that doesnt seem to work, and I can't seem to find any way to directly command the kittens no matter what I do.  Also, when I tried to pick the cats up with the petai pet backpack to carry them, they just vanished into the ether and the backpack said it was still empty.  Am I doing something wrong?  Nothing besides 'feed pet' shows up when I hold my cursor over the kittens, and the taming guide doesnt say anything about it other than that they follow some basic commands.

Also ,they cant seem to fit through doors on their own, i have to break the doors and let the kittens in manually.

💬 Psychomor, Apr 5th 2024 at 12:03 PM

Helo. PetAi is not updated to version 1.19.7 , so it working on 1.19.7 with this mod ? Stay save.

💬 Gerste , Mar 10th 2024 at 3:01 PM

If you translate the mod on Crowdin, all your changes will be automatically included in the next release. (Whenever I build the mod, I automatically download all community translations from here)
If that next release is too far away, you can also ping me on discord and I can upload a new version. Veir

💬 Veir, Mar 9th 2024 at 7:52 PM

Hello, are you okay with translations? I would like to translate this mod to Polish along with the dogs addon

I've been having this error constantly being printed to the server logs, it started after my tamed dogs grew up but that might be coincidental and it might be because the dogs moved far enough away from the two cats that the cats weren't constantly fleeing. I don't know if it's to do with the dog taming mod, this mod or the PetAI api itself. I'm currently on 1.19.0-rc.4

In my early game shelter the cat keeps walking over hot metal/cooking meals and now it's dead. QQ
Any way you can add pathing AI to prevent it from casually sitting on death?

💬 taqus, Dec 13th 2023 at 7:40 AM

Great mod! My friend and I love it so much. May I suggest adding food/water bowls? It makes me a lil sad to see my cats sitting at "low" weight all the time. Thank u. 🐱

If I use a translocator to move home from one place to another (better environment), is there a mechanism for getting my cat to come with me? Will it pathfind to the new location? Or do I need a new kitten?

Hello, I updated to 1.18.13 today and updated the mod and now my cats are gone and the pet beds are white ? blocks. Please help! I am showcasing your mod on my YT channel and need my cats back :(

💬 Jimzawy, Sep 10th 2023 at 10:58 PM

Guys I need help, my cat and dog fell in a deep pit I cant get them out, to explain, they have high obedience, the dog is a pup, and there is stepped blocks leading to the suface, but not stairs, I used the whistle but it doesnt work, any ideas ? the place is wreaking with drifters now :D

💬 Bdkanon, Sep 8th 2023 at 2:31 AM

Good for when you keep getting overstocked with bushmeat from going on bear-killing rampages. Not to say that I'd do that, haha...

 

only thing is I wish I could pick up the cats. Maybe there's a way to integrate a similar mechanism to Carry-On?

My friend's occelot fell down a hole and we can't seem to revive it be it with poultices or temporal gears :c

Edit: using the bandage, or the one with alcohol worked, but the poultices didn't. Weird.

I need to include all the wildcraft poultices to the config file just to make sure...

Hello! Is it possible to increase the frequency of cats in the world somewhere in the mod settings? I would love to see them in my game more often =) 

💬 DrYakOttoman, Apr 30th 2023 at 7:15 PM

@Gerste Thank you for your reply! I tested all of my other mods and it turns out that Medieval Fashion allows a player to eat raw meat and raw bushmeat, even while full. I will let the creator know and disable the mod for now, as there is no config for me to change it. Thanks again!

The cat only eats raw meat. The player never eats raw meat. This should not be possible at all DrYakOttoman

💬 DrYakOttoman, Apr 27th 2023 at 7:41 PM

Hey there! When I go to feed an ocelot some red meat or bush meat using right click with the meat in my hand, it feeds my player instead, even if I'm at full bars of hunger. Am I doing it wrong? If not, is there any way to fix it on my end? I tried changing my eating controls to a different button but I don't see that option in the controls menu. Thanks!

Spying this in server startup, although cats/petai seems to work fine once everything's loaded. Also seeing the issue with cats not properly eating a primitive survival raw fish fillet but getting the taming/obedience, dropping the fillet, and being able to reuse it indefinitely.
💬 Tels, Sep 10th 2022 at 4:49 PM

Feeding cats raw fish fillets from Primitive Survival is bugged. It instantanous gives you 40%, but then the cat gives you the fillet back, so you can re-use it on another cat :D

You can also use the same fillet to drive up their obedience by 0.4% steps infinitely.

Is there a way to config the cats to not be scared of my tamed wolves. It's hard to feed everyone if the cats run away hissing because the dogs scare them since they follow me.

💬 Gerste , Jun 12th 2022 at 9:03 AM

I simply copied the code from the vanilla grow behavior for pets, so they should be affected by worldsettings like vanilla creatures. So after about 17 in-game days with default settings they should mature. I am going to do a quick check before releasing the next version. PeterSanderson

Thats definitely a bug, I am going to fix this for the next version. All cats should be terrifying for drifters. ThePionier

💬 ThePionier, Jun 6th 2022 at 1:05 PM

Hi Gerste

I noticed that after the new update, the cats no longer scare away the drifters, or are they no longer afraid of the cats?
At least the wild cats and the ocelots don't seem to keep the drifters away, I don't know about the domestic cats.

💬 PeterSanderson, Jun 5th 2022 at 4:20 PM

Thanks for the reply, Gerste. If it's 408 in-game hours, do you mean 17 in game days?
Would that be affected by /time calendarspeedmul? That's set to 0.2 on our server. It has been two in game months and the kittens have not grown.

💬 Gerste , Jun 4th 2022 at 8:00 PM

Kittens take 408 ingame hours to grow up.

Some of the cat textures might change because they now became exclusive to wild cats.
With the newest update, there are now european wild cats, ozelots, servals and house cats. House cats can be purchased from traders, the rest of them spawns in various regions in the wild. All new cat variants are tameable too.

Apart from the texture glitching, the cats from previous versions should be fine. PeterSanderson

💬 PeterSanderson, Jun 4th 2022 at 6:18 PM

How much in game time does it take for a kitten to grow into an adult cat?
Also, I noticed updating to the most recent version changed an adult orange tabby to an all white cat. Will cats from previous releases have any issues?

💬 Gerste , May 29th 2022 at 12:32 PM

Yeah thats right. The survivalgoods trader has a chance to have a cat in stock for 6-10 gears. Maimessu

💬 Maamessu, May 29th 2022 at 12:46 AM

With the latest update removing natural spawns, does that mean cats are only obtainable via traders now? And if so, which one(s)? So that I may keep a look out. =3

💬 Shion, May 15th 2022 at 7:26 AM

Don't know if it is due to this mod or the PetAI one, but cat attack noises seem to be "spawning" at player position, instead of the cat`s.

💬 Abed, May 3rd 2022 at 7:51 PM

I tamed a kitten. The next day it walked into my burning pit kiln and died. Does the AI not see fire as bad!? Worse thing was that I didn't get as much meat out of it as I put into it... 😒

💬 Maamessu, May 2nd 2022 at 9:36 PM

I love the idea of only being able to get cats from traders. I hope that feature makes it in!

💬 TheShazbot, Apr 27th 2022 at 10:35 PM

My kitten crawled into a pine tree hollow added by Primitive Survival to hide during a temporal storm. Not sure if this is an intended interaction, but it is cute as hell! 😊

💬 BlueFuryDragon, Apr 27th 2022 at 7:30 AM

The cats need to know to stay away from Wildcrafts berry bushes as the kittens die screaming! I have also seen the giant pile of bones after carving up a kitten murdered by bushes from Wildcrafts mod.

💬 PeterSanderson, Apr 25th 2022 at 4:00 PM

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I found a dead cat, butchered the remains, and was left with a Medium carcass rather than small. Should likely be small for adult cats, tiny for kittens

💬 ThePionier, Apr 23rd 2022 at 3:50 PM

Gerste

Thank you for your feedback signal!

And the tip with the other types of food :)

I think it's a good idea that the cats are only available through the dealer, that makes the whole thing a little more exciting.

Maybe a compromise would be good that can be set via the modconfig whether the cats in the world spawn naturally or are only available through the dealer. So every player can decide for himself how he likes it

💬 Gerste , Apr 23rd 2022 at 3:03 PM

Thanks a lot.

Looks like I forgot to add the Primitive Survival compatibility for kittens. You can feed them with poultice, redmeat or bushmeat though :) ThePionier

💬 ThePionier, Apr 23rd 2022 at 12:19 PM

Gerste

Somehow I can only tame adult cats, I can't give baby cats a fish fillet. Should that be so? :)
And this cat mod is awesome!

💬 Gerste , Apr 23rd 2022 at 9:57 AM

I am thinking about removing naturally spawning cats completely because I think of them more as house cats than wild cats. Then they would only be obtainable via trader. PeterSanderson

💬 PeterSanderson, Apr 22nd 2022 at 6:56 PM

Is it currently possible to reduce the frequency with which cats spawn? They seem pretty ubiquitous at the moment. My house will soon resemble Bubbles' shed from the Trailer Park Boys

💬 Gerste , Apr 6th 2022 at 6:35 PM

You can revive them with a temporal gear.

Or you can go to .../VintagestoryData/ModConfig/petconfig.json and add cat-male, cat-female and cat-kitten under the respawningPets category.
Then you can select a pet cushion for them were they respawn if they are hurt in battle. Tingcat

💬 Tingcat, Apr 5th 2022 at 11:02 PM

Is is possible to make them immortal or respawn or something? I think there's a method but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

💬 Gerste , Apr 4th 2022 at 7:09 PM

Thanks for sharing. 😀 Radostin

I prefer issues/ pullrequests on my Github when it comes to additions like translations.

Usually, Mamoru Mondai is very quick when it comes to updating the language files of my mods, but we have never spoken outside of is pullrequests, so I am unsure if he is still playing VS or has moved to other things.

If you want to provide the russian translation yourself, you can compare the english and russian language files and add the missing lines.
I prefer adding other peoples changes via pullrequest, but if this is too technical for you, you can simply open an issue on github or even dm me the json file directly on discord (G3rste#1850).

It should not be nessecary. As of now, the cat has no natural enemies, so the only things that could kill it are either players or fall damage. Mamessu

💬 Maamessu, Feb 22nd 2022 at 3:48 PM

Is it possible we could get a config file to allow us to turn off spawning, attacking, and make them immortal? So that they have to be spawned in manually and are just adorable pets that wander around?

I'd love to use this mod with a few friends because we all love cats, but no one wants to be distressed by, well... dead cats.

💬 Gerste , Feb 21st 2022 at 7:36 PM

In version 1.3.3 cats can be fed raw fish fillet if primitive survival is installed. Burgersim

💬 Burgersim, Feb 20th 2022 at 6:37 PM

HI there, love the mod, so do all the people on my/our server, but we were wondering, would it be possible to have compatibility with Primitive Survival? The fishes seem so perfect for the cats, but they won't accept them as food, so I wanted to ask about it ^^

💬 RogueRaiden, Feb 14th 2022 at 11:15 PM

@CaveSalamander Make a custom mod using a patch file to tweak the cats mod to your liking for your server. You can then do things like override the cat sounds, remove the cats running from tamed wolves (I did this in a mod for my server) or even increase their health (also did this). Upload mod, add to server, and enjoy

💬 CaveSalamander, Feb 14th 2022 at 10:33 PM

I appreciate it, thanks @Gerste ^^ And re-zipping is definitely a solution! I run a server though, distributing the altered mod to my players might be a bit of extra work.

💬 Gerste , Feb 14th 2022 at 8:20 PM

I can lower the sound for the next update as well as the range where they start running away. But I am unwilling to completely remove the hissing because I find it to be very cat like :/. If you really dislike the hissing, you can disable it by unzipping the mod, going into assets/cats/entities/land/cat-(fe)male.json, removing the sound in the fleeentity AITask and then rezipping the mod. CaveSalamander

💬 CaveSalamander, Feb 14th 2022 at 5:16 PM

I love all the pelt colours they have, so much variety! Could they not keep hissing at tamed wolves though? I don't mind my cats bolting at the sight of a canine but the hissing sound is rather sharp and gets real old when you have both types of pets in one house :D

💬 Gerste , Feb 8th 2022 at 9:17 PM

Currently not. I did not do the cat model by myself and I don´t have any model for a kitten. I could simply scale down the cat model, but that would not fully capture the cuteness of a kitten (baby animals tend to have a larger head in relation to the rest of their body than adults). I don´t have the talent to do complex entities with textures and animations myself, so I often rely on others for this kind of tasks. Lunchbox

💬 Plumeria, Jan 8th 2022 at 7:37 PM

I think having them swawn in like foxes but making the spawns less so it isn't flooded with cats would be a good idea. But yeah whatever way you want! Thank you! ^^

💬 Gerste , Jan 8th 2022 at 6:39 PM

I tried to let them spawn in the same areas where red foxes spawn in, but i tried reducing the propability to one to 1/6 of the fox spawn, so the area is not flooded by cats. Should I let them be obtainable via purchase from a trader so that anyone can obtain one even if the spawn chances are not on their side?

Update: I just took a look and found out that I did not implement the spawning correctly :(. I will fix that and put cats in the offers of the survival trader in Version 1.2.1. Plumeria
