Crimson Desert cats eat meat-based foods, especially fish. The most consistent reports say you can feed them raw fish, dried fish, fish fillet, milk, bird meat, or cat treats , depending on the cat type and the trust mechanic.

Quick Scoop

If you’re asking “what do cats eat in Crimson Desert?” , the safest answer is:

  • Raw fish
  • Dried fish
  • Fish fillet
  • Milk
  • Bird meat
  • Cat treats

Some guides also say different cat breeds or color variants may prefer different foods , so not every cat accepts the exact same item.

How It Works

Players report that you usually need to befriend/pet the cat first , then place the food on the ground or use it from inventory, and the cat will eat it.

A few guides mention that feeding certain cats can also give a small stamina regeneration buff while they follow you.

Best Simple Choice

If you just want one item to try first, use:

  1. Raw fish.
  2. If that fails, try dried fish.
  3. If it’s a special cat, test milk or bird meat next.

One-Liner

So, in Crimson Desert, cats mostly want fish and other meat-based pet foods, not regular cooked meals.
