Hungry Cats Achievement?

[kurfu.5623]

Is there an achievement or any other way to figure out which of the Hungry Cats you have (and have not ) collected?

...and if there isn't, can you guys please add it as an achievement? It doesn't need to reward anything, would just a way to keep track.

[Omega.6801]

There is none in game, but gw2efficiency tells you how many and which cats you have.

Visit this wiki page:https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hungry_cat_scavenger_hunt

Paste your API key into the relevant field, press enter, and voila.

Instructions for obtaining a secure API key are sort of linked on the page, but it's simpler just to visit this page:https://account.arena.net/applications

Create a new key with at minimum the "progression" permission checked. (You can choose to delete the key or reuse it later to keep up with your progress.)

---

Here's a known list of sites that will track which cats you have:

• GW2 Efficiency
• GW2 Timer
• GW2 Wiki

(all sites will also need the same API key)(PS if anyone knows of other sites that track the cats, please add below and I'll update the list above)

PS there's a bug that prevents the holographic kitten from appearing on these sites.

You win the award for most useful post this year. Cheers for this!

Aw, shucks . Thank you.(Of course, the year is still new; I'm sure we'll see more posts that are more useful.)

Thank you for asking this question. I totally missed the Holographic kitten! Now he's in my home instance. :)

Have they added any more since the Fractal cat? I was hoping PoF would bring some new ones, but I've not seen any and not heard about any new ones either.

I can't tell you how many cats in the PoF maps I've tried to interact with.

Fantastic! That is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

The desert borderlands puddy cat is one seriously frustrating.... I have spent countless hours trying to jump to that sob. I don't know who thought it was cool to make such a mundain thing be so impossible to get to .. so I guess I will never complete that scav hunt :(

It's because that cat sells the Catmander badge, too, and they wanted it to be challenging to get one. Took me over an hour to get into that cave for my badge, and when i did, it felt like pure dumb luck, so I feel your pain.

Yeah as I said .. such a mundain thing but so seriously annoying and more luck than skill to get to.TBH I have given up on the scav hunt now, seems a pointless non productive use of my time knowing that unless I can luck out on this one I wont be completing it. Anyhow I got enough of those dead birds being left in my home :)

The Desert Catmander isn't bad. But ... if it's proving RNG for you rather than "just a JP," ask for help. (I'd try Players Helping Players forum first and top off with LFG and /map.) There are lots of super helpful mesmers around who can port you. I've gotten their twice on my own and once via friendly-neighborhood mesmer (why did I go back? to help others find the Cat, naturally :) ).

:open_mouth:The wiki link coupled with an active API key is really handy, did not know that was a thing!

Necroing this to point out: the wiki now has tons of pages that include an API link to help show you what you might be missing. Besides the hungry cats, it works for identifying which dyes you don't have from the anniversary gifts, which Dragon Bash achievements you need, and so on.

(If you come to a page that you think is missing this useful tool, you can click on the "leave article feedback" button to request it.)

This is a great thread! Thanks for the update! :)
