I've recently acquired a starveling cat from trading cats with my alt. Unfortunately it seems to have been a waste of time as its only options seem to be to increase my nightmares and wounds or just pass it on to someone else. Is it just one of those items that doesn't really have a use or does it unlock anything?

Strangely, those can be massively beneficial . . .
I try to keep nightmares above three, as it unlocks a card where you can have dreams interpreted; a rare success with fire dreams allows for a tiny gain of that notoriously hard-to-get Masters connection . . . likewise, Hallowmas pretty much depends on you having menaces, so being able to raise menaces works wonders in getting ahead of that particular festival.

The Starveling Cat!
The Starveling Cat!
Unlocks an option
To deal with rats!
When you try to remove them from your lodgings ... it is but a minor option, however.

You can also introduce your grubby kitten to the Starveling Cat. Or more accurately, periodically click on that option by accident because it's immediately adjacent to the useful and profitable rat-catching option.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

This should be taken with some caution, though, because we've been warned this year Hallowmas is undergoing a radical revamp and will be completely different.
The Starveling Cat does, on occasion, unlock various branches but mostly in Exceptional Stories. It's also required for SMEN, I believe (as well as unlocking an actually beneficial/profitable card for a very narrow range of SMEN)

In addition to the previously mentioned menace control, when Seeking Mr Eaten's Name you need Starveling Cats to stain your soul. They also unlock the most efficient method of Unaccountably Peckish gain in the Flit, which combined with Taking Refreshments in the Labyrinth gives you efficiency control of that value making it easy to gain that 1 free point of Seeking each week.

You're still very much at that point; you can use weekly points to raise SMEN as far as 28. (And it's the recommended method, as the other ways have scaling costs and difficulties, so are worse the higher your SMEN.)

You can try to throw it down a well for a candle. Tell us if you manage to do it, because it usually fails. it'll be nice to know if it's a rare success, or a dead-end option.
