Just make the function async

bot.on('message', async message => {

    let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");

         case 'cat':
                let message = await message.channel.send("Finding Cat Pictures...")

                let {body} = await superagent
                .get('https://aws.random.cat/meow')
                console.log(body.file)
