Taming the Cat doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.
After taming, the Cat is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0 Element per level.
