The Longleaf Forest Cat is a cat breed that can be registered as a pet in Crimson Desert. This breed has a wild, untamed appearance reminiscent of the forest cats found in the wilds of Pywel. Like all pets, the Longleaf Forest Cat can be found roaming settlements across Pywel, particularly in larger cities. These animals appear in different locations depending on the time of day.
The Longleaf Forest Cat has a long, thick coat with tabby-like markings and a bushy tail. Its large, expressive eyes and tufted ears give it a wild, forest-dwelling appearance. The breed's name suggests a connection to the forested areas of Pywel, and its rugged look sets it apart from the domesticated Pororin Cat.
To register a Longleaf Forest Cat as your companion, you must reach 100 trust with the animal. Trust is built through two main interactions: petting and feeding.
Petting: +5 trust per interaction, up to 5 times per in-game day (25 trust maximum from petting alone). To pet a cat, you must first pick it up by holding the carry prompt, then press the pet button while holding it.
Feeding: Up to 3 feeds per in-game day. Cats prefer bird meat, fish, and milk. Each food type grants +10 trust per feeding.
Cat food items can be obtained through hunting birds, fishing, or purchasing milk from vendors. Once trust reaches 100, set the animal down and hold Square (PlayStation) or E (PC) to select the "Take in" prompt. The animal is then permanently registered as your pet. For a full breakdown of trust values, see the main Pets article.
A cat companion can sometimes be acquired during city festivities tied to the main quest. The Fang Without a Master faction quest also features pet acquisition. Cats are slightly harder to tame than dogs because their food only grants +10 trust per feeding compared to +35 for dogs.
Once registered, the Longleaf Forest Cat follows you while exploring Pywel. Pets assist in combat by automatically looting items from defeated enemies, saving time during extended fights and dungeon runs. Your pet is a permanent companion and will stay by your side throughout the game. Only one pet can be active at a time, but you can switch between registered pets through the Inventory menu.
Pets can sustain injuries during combat encounters. An injured pet cannot run and will move slowly until healed. Use Healing Force Palm to restore your pet's health. You can also equip pet-specific armor to increase their defensive stats and reduce the chance of injury. Pet equipment can be purchased at shops in Pororin Forest Village and Demeniss.
Multiple pets can be registered at once, up to a maximum of 30. All registered companions are managed through the Inventory menu, where you can switch your active pet or review their equipment and status. Collecting all 30 unique pets is required for a Life Challenge and the Natural Collector trophy.
