Is the cat viable?

[Determination]

Hit 104k on Green Acres Hyper 130% curse. Cats dealt only 2.8 million dmg. Visually their dmg is kinda ok,especially with duration bonus of arcana. I had missed both duration arcana in this run and revival arcana(should've been taken revival as 1st or second arcana,taken it third and missed 15% bonus dmg from lost revivals) https://sun9-82.userapi.com/impg/zct6jMyeHrvqhNu_gtxwcT5nG8JK71qGIvXu8Q/ZS0n50P2Fro.jpg?size=1920x1080&quality=96&sign=0c1b1b71d19b5f85215b5e9a4596db03&type=album

The cats have produced the highest end of run damage total I have ever seen. Some guy did 37.7 BILLION damage and killed multiple full power reapers with them.

That is just so over the top bonkers. All hail our new feline overlords.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's neat how they scale with luck. Like by increasing item drops and lowering the rate of black cat spawns.
I'd never pick cats as an early weapon, but they're pretty great.

The cats are OP with Exdash and Toastie. They get stronger when they eat chicken.

Until Toastie gets a random bad roll and gets killed by a cat lmao. But ye damagewise they are great aslong as you got the luck to keep them supplied with light sources. A bit contradicting tho since you want them early to feed them up but getting them early they become a liability

I hear armor helps Toasty, not sure if true.

Get more luck, its scales well with luck.

You know, I've seen multiple people reference this, anyone got a link to the video?

There is no video that I am aware of. There is a thread on this forum about it though.
I can't figure out how to create a link to it, but the title talks about Finally, beating Death with Toastie. There are a few screenshots of the run. The run lasted over 5 hours (320 minutes) and the first shot shows the end game summary.

I amped my cats as much I could with my most recent run. Max bracer, max spellbinder, max empty tome, max duplicator, max candelabra, and Max crown very early to gain levels asap to boost speed. They were okay, whenever a cat fight breaks out it covered a huge portion of the screen and there was almost always multiple happening at once which I could stand in to bring in enemies. But I think it's more a utility weapon like someone else here mentioned.

People say Garlic is bad just because they judge how good weapons are based entirely around damage when that's always the main point of the weapon. Garlic is good, great knockback, Clock Lancet deals 0 damage in a 30+ minute run but it could make a run significantly easier and also hold off multiple deaths at once.

Think we need to spend more time with it, boost luck, and after multiple runs maybe come back with some real information.

Love the character, hate the ability on specific maps. Cats a fun gimmick, as other people pointed out, don't get me wrong. Effects heavily depend on the map. Library is bad with cats, because they will kill/damage you a lot. They're dealing damage to me, while the monsters can't even come close to me. It just makes me want to banish them at lvl 2 in the library and be done with it.
Since I have to lvl Giovanna to lvl99 to unlock a new card today, I'll go to the library and banish cats. Runetracer + Santa Water + Thunder Ring (esp +Bible) can you win the entire library run on ANY character. There is no incentive to run around the short, but wide, map trying to avoid your own ability, cats. Since mobs are dying fast and far away, cats are a handicap in the library, they will have nothing better to do, other than bite your own butt. P.S. I do have 4 revivals (card + power up) at the beginning, but it doesn't make the cats any better/less dangerous.
P.S.II: I really, thoroughly dislike the fact, that cats will deal damage to you. It's not even, that they can/could, it is a fact, that they will.

TL;DR I guess: If you want to chill on the map, don't play her/cats.

UPD: Just did it with lvl 8 cats in the library (didn't banish), after all. Just lvled them up as the last ability.

I used them in the tower, they're hilarious if you're ok with scratches. Try the healing card if you don't wanna think about it.
And Awake does affect them, if you eat your revives the area/speed bonuses are huge. Their damage is already high enough that you probably won't notice the overkill, but I just finished a Mad Forest run on Exdash and not only were catfights the only thing that could kill stuff at a reasonable pace they'd even mulch bosses and chufty bois. Once you get enough cats on screen they're very good, tho I noticed you can't move around too much or you'll get significantly fewer catfights.

Cat is OP AF
No not kidding
Pick up the empty tome and candelabrador
The cats gets so big they can't avoid eachother and the empty tome makes them spawn over themselves so you end up with a perpetual catfight
Then all you need to do is stand still and enjoy the carnage :D

[Axymoon]

I think they are fine.
