Black Cat Pet Guide - Grow a Garden
By Paquito Jr Conde | October 20, 2025
Overview
The Black Cat is a mythical-tier pet introduced during the Halloween/Ghoul event on October 11, 2025. It was released inside the event’s Spooky Egg family (including a Premium Spooky Egg). The pet is known for the "Witch's Nap" passive: it visits a Witch's Cauldron cosmetic and naps, briefly making newly spawned fruits in its radius larger. Its typical hatch chance from premium Spookies is 8.5% and it has a hunger value of 40,000. Players often age and stack multiple Black Cats to increase coverage and uptime.
How to Obtain the Black Cat
- Hatch from the Spooky Egg or the Premium Spooky Egg during the Halloween/Ghoul event.
- Premium Spooky Eggs offer higher reported odds for the Black Cat (community-reported ~8.5% chance).
- Outside the event, availability may return during future Halloween events or limited shop rotations.
Pet passive (Witch's Nap)
- Behavior: Periodically walks to a nearby Witch's Cauldron cosmetic and naps next to it.
- Trigger cadence: commonly reported as every ~2:00 to ~4:04 minutes.
- Nap duration: brief, commonly reported around 14.5 to 28 seconds.
- Effect: New fruits that spawn within the cat’s nap radius are spawned larger — community reports show size multipliers roughly in the ~1.2× to ~1.4× range (reported broadly as 1–2× depending on measurement and rounding).
- Radius: commonly reported as roughly 10–20 studs around the nap location.
Numbers to remember
- Date added: October 11, 2025.
- Reported hatch chance (premium Spooky Egg): 8.5%.
- Hunger value: 40,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Where do I get Spooky Eggs? Spooky Eggs appear in the event shop or egg shop during the Halloween/Ghoul event window.
- Does the passive affect existing fruit? No — the boost applies to newly spawned fruit inside the nap radius while the cat is napping.
- Should I age the Black Cat? Yes — aging with level-up items increases its effectiveness and overall benefit.
- Do multiple Black Cats stack? Yes — using several increases coverage and the chance of overlapping nap windows for more consistent boosts.
- Is it limited? The pet was introduced as an event pet and is typically easier to obtain during Halloween/Ghoul events; availability may change outside the event.
Why get a Black Cat
- Directly increases newly spawned fruit size, which raises sell value and supports mutation strategies.
- Stacks well: multiple cats and aged pets deliver consistent uptime across plots.
- Pairs naturally with Witch's Cauldron cosmetics and seasonal farm builds to boost profit and efficiency.
The Black Cat blends Halloween style with a practical size-boosting passive. It was added on October 11, 2025, hatches from Spooky Eggs (premium odds ~8.5%), and uses a Witch's Cauldron nap to enlarge nearby new fruit for a short time. Stack and age the pet for best results in fruit/value-focused gardens.
