Pet cats lose 2 tameness when the player wakes them up. However, opening a tin wakes all nearby felines, and this will not cause cats to lose tameness when woken.

All monsters in the f class take less damage from falling into a pit than usual. (Also applies to the hero if they are polymorphed into a feline.)

Throwing a treat at most non-domestic d or f will make them devour it, and will often pacify them and occasionally tame them.

Most d and f monsters can be pacified, but not tamed, by throwing appropriate food at them (they will eat it, so you can’t reuse the same food item).
