Fat Cat is a Rare pet in Grow a Garden 2. It landed with the Muffin Bake update and looks like a ginger cat with white eyes and a heavy frame. It will not grow your crops. It grows your character, which makes other players less able to stop you when you steal plants.
Quick answer: Submit muffins to the Baker NPC for Sugar Eggs, then hatch Fat Cat at a 20 percent chance.
Fat Cat size boost
Fat Cat has no effect on plants, yield, or garden growth. While the pet is active, it increases the size of your avatar. A larger body takes reduced damage and reduced knockback from each strike, so raids are harder to interrupt.
The boost tracks the cat’s own size. A larger Fat Cat makes you larger. Deploy it in your base to turn the effect on. You will know it worked when your character visibly scales up after the pet is active.
Note: This is a stealing pet. If you only plan to farm, Fat Cat will not change your harvest.
Fat Cat size variants
Every Fat Cat raises your size, but the multiplier depends on the variant that hatches. Mega is the strongest roll. Rainbow sits between Normal and Big.
| Variant | Size increase |
|---|---|
| Normal | 1.15x |
| Big | 1.30x |
| Mega | 1.50x |
| Rainbow | 1.25x |
Mega Fat Cat is the best copy at 1.50x. If one hatches from a Sugar Egg, put it in your base for the largest size gain.
Fat Cat hatch chance from Sugar Eggs
Fat Cat only comes from the Sugar Egg. Each egg has a 20 percent chance to hatch it. That makes Fat Cat the second rarest pet in the pool. Muffin Man is rarer still, at a 0.5 percent hatch chance.
A Fat Cat with the Rainbow mutation can also come from the same egg. At 20 percent, one Fat Cat is a likely result after about five Sugar Eggs.
The hatch is done when Fat Cat appears from the Sugar Egg. Deploy it and check that your avatar is larger than it was before. A different pet means that egg missed the 20 percent Fat Cat roll.
Baker NPC Sugar Egg rewards
Sugar Eggs are a Baker reward during the Muffin Bake event. You bake muffins on the Fall Harvest map, turn them in, then open the eggs for Fat Cat.
Fat Cat is a raid tool, not a farming tool. Hatch it from Sugar Eggs, keep Mega if you get one, and deploy it before you go after someone else’s crops.
