How to make 🐈 Cat — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Water + Water = LakeBoth Water and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Lake first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Lake + Water = OceanOcean is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Ocean + Water = FishIf you already made Fish in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Fish + Water = FishbowlOne quick craft for Fishbowl: drag Fish onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Fire + Fishbowl = GoldfishGoldfish is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Earth + Wind = DustDust is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Dust + Water = MudIf you already made Mud in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Goldfish + Mud = CatfishOne quick craft for Catfish: drag Goldfish onto Mud and keep the result for the chain.
- Catfish + Earth = CatFinal craft: combine Catfish and Earth to make Cat. That's the whole path — 9 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Cat
We rank every known recipe for Cat by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Catfish and Earth — cost 9 and 1 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 9 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Cat
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Catfish + Wind | 10 crafts |
| Catfish + Dust | 10 crafts |
| Catfish + Mountain | 10 crafts |
| Catfish + Steam | 10 crafts |
| Catfish + Volcano | 10 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Cat?
Cat is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Cinder and you get Fire; pair it with Candle and you get Fire; pair it with Match and you get Fire; pair it with Gasoline and you get Fire; pair it with Prometheus and you get Fire; pair it with Sandstorm and you get Dust. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Cat
- Craft in one sitting. The 9-craft chain for Cat takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Ocean) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Catfish + Wind also produces Cat if that route fits your inventory better.
