Guild Wars 2

I can’t feed the Eastern Ward Lion’s Arch cat or the Beetletun cat. Anyone know why this is? I have the correct food in my inventory.

Are you sure you’ve got the right cat? Beetletun has several and Eastern Ward may well have more than 1. If it says the cat isn’t hungry then it’s not the right cat.

Well, I was using the cats that were pictured on Dulfy’s website. Does she have the wrong information?

Eastern Ward is the middle of the 3 cats, to the right of the inn

If it is the correct cat, and you’ve not fed it before, it will ‘meow’ when approached. It might even ‘meow’ if you’ve already fed it, I don’t remember. But only the correct cats ‘meow’.

No idea. I find the way she writes her guides hard to follow so I only use them when there is no alternative.

I used the list on the wiki and I found, and was able to feed, all of them.

Are you feeding the cat that’s meowing at you? If they’re not meowing at you, it’s not the right cat.

@OP
Or, maybe you try to feed them at the wrong time. I’ve noticed that in the Grove, for example, one kitten can fed during the night and the other during the day.

Those are the only ones tied to the day and night cycle. The others can be fed whenever you want to. I also had no problem with the Eastern Ward cat.

Bump and here is this for more people to enjoy.

In Beetletun, there are at least 2 cats near each other. One can be fed, the other can’t

There is at least one new cat, at Castaway Circus wp in Ember Bay. It’s an orange one. I have no food on me so I don’t know what it wants.

Already documented on the wiki

Ha! I saw that cat, and it even ’Meow’ed at me, and I never even thought about the ‘cat’ collection.

Silly me!

If the Devs keep adding cats to locations, will we (who feed them) all eventually become ‘crazy cat ladies’? =P

If they want to go gender neutral they could use “Cat Wrangler” instead.

No. It’s just that our already existent tendencies got discovered.

Do the cats, in your home instance, go away after a period of time? When I initially ran through, collecting teh kittehs, I had a group of them playing tag with a snowball. Which was awesome. Several days later when I returned, I didn’t see them anywhere. Do I have to consistently travel around, feeding them?

No, they’ll be there. Maybe the black kitties were napping that one time. Just wander around and listen for the GSSSH sound of the snowball hitting the ground.

Isnt being a cat herder something like counting grains of sand on a beach at high tide?

I prefer “Cat Herder.”

I’m familiar… or would that be I’m a minion? After all you never own the cat/s.

I came across 2 hungry cats in the new Ember Bay map that meowed at me. When talking to them it said they were hungry but didn’t give a clue as to what kind of food they wanted.

However, 1 of the renowned heart vendors has 2 new cooking recipes that require 400 cooking to craft. I’m guessing maybe the cats what that.

In my guild we have a member who thanks all the officers after our weekly missions for ‘herding cats’ on TS. I’m sure we would all love ‘Cat Herder’ as an actual title, as would anyone who leads even semi-organised open world/WvW content.

Nope.

Near Bonfire: 3 Ghost Peppers, and only 3 (in Inventory).

Near Dread Shiny: Plate of Fire Flank Steak and (given first) Stranded Skritt.

Isn’t a cat herder someone who curses up a storm on these forums?

No. That’s a kitten spitter. (Someone who spits out a lot of kittens).

A cat herder is a Wvw pugmander. I would love the cat herder title.

How about ‘Kitty Korraler’?

It’s already funny how my norns home instance is a loft full of cats. I imagine the cats feel right at home in the charr home instance.

You know i’d love it if these quirky collections were mentioned in one of these living story episode

“Me? Wierd? I’m not the one who keeps bringing random strays home, Commander.”

“Well, Cough Uh, enough on that topic.”

Edit: you know, this kinda reminds me of how Hellboy has all of those cats in his room.

I would love a cat herder title!

I’ve been called that in real life before because at various times I’ve had jobs that were a lot like herding cats (taking classes of 12 year old kids who have never seen the sea before on their first trip to the beach for example) and at other times literally herding cats. I’m not sure which was more hard work.

But on top of that my main character is a ranger who uses a stalker and frequently has a cat mini pet, so it would be very appropriate for her too.

I’d love to see a ‘Send to Guild Hall’ option on them if you feed them on a different character lol.

Anyone know if it’s only possible to see one kitten at a time? Because yesterday I could see the white kitten, but not the black one. Looked for it everywhere in my home instance, but no luck. :c Today though, I can find the black one but not the white. Is it some kind of night/day thing? Like when you feed them.

Paralux.6714:

Yes, it is. One kitten appears during the day only while the other during the night.

I didn’t know this, but it seems that:

At dawn and dusk the other kitten will arrive, they will meet each other, tag with a high five, and the previous kitten will leave.

Cool.

Hmm, since I have fed the Ember Bay cats, the snowball hunting ones and the one that brings the dead bird is gone. Coincidence? Do the Ember Bay cats something special? I have so many now infesting my home instance, can make out individuals any more.
BTW, can we have dogs next time?

^I’ve fed the Ember Bay cats, and the snowball cats and the dead bird cat (including the dead bird) were in my Home Instance today…and every other day (sans dead bird).

Maybe they roam around on some kind of random schedule?

With libertreats and justfish for all!

You need to spend less time with Dara ;D

Are you sure? Based on this I went in just before night fell so as to watch (like 4 minutes in advance). When I logged in the black kitten trotted out from under my feet and to its station in the DR market and I never saw the white one.

Maybe I needed to be there by 5 minutes before the change?

No idea. Got it off the Wiki. /shrug

So if a charr ranger (like mine) has all these cats in his home instance AND has battle cats that roam the world with him does that make it triple catception? Cause a cat owning cats owning cats is just plain catty.

I’m only a couple of cars away from having them all. It’s a real giggle to see them in my home instance. I plan on taking my mini-me around to get them all for her home instance too. It would be really fun to have other animals that you could collect up, ferrets would be my vote. They could hide stuff all over your home instance.

A couple of cats plus 9 you mean?

9 new fantastic cats have appeared!

Yes, as I already got all of them. Each one only takes a certain food from a certain class. For example, the Revolting Cat only takes grumble cake from a necromancer.

Already there, personally.

Cat hoarder*

Alas, I have neither the Grumble Cake for the Necromancer, nor the soup for the Guardian.

Some day…

I know, I had to make a thief, then somehow get him up to Hrathi Hinterlands without getting killed every three steps to get the soulbound item to feed the delinquent cat.

Luckily, I have a Thief, and all other Professions at L80, other than Revenant, which was super easy to do in the PvP Lobby.

I just don’t remember ever receiving any Grumble Cakes, or if I did, I consumed them, I guess. Which would be odd for me, as I always keep one of just about everything the game offers.

And, I don’t have enough of either currencies needed to purchase the soup recipe. Yet.
