House Setup: Furniture & Room Stats
You start with 1 room. Donate retired cats to Frank to get more rooms. This lets you separate breeders, kittens, and fighters.
Buy furniture from Baby Jack, Tracy, or get it from Furniture Boxes during runs. Place furniture on floors and walls to change room stats.
Comfort
- Controls whether cats are relaxed in your house
- High comfort = cats breed more often
- Low comfort = cats fight each other
- Each cat after the first 4 reduces Comfort by 1 point
- Poop in rooms also reduces Comfort by 1 point
Stimulation
- Controls whether kittens inherit their parents’ skills and stats
- High Stimulation = kittens get the higher stat when parents have different values (example: if dad has 2 Constitution and mom has 8 Constitution, kitten gets 8)
- Helps kittens get better skills from the available pool
- Max this out in your breeding room
Health
- Controls your cats’ condition
- Low health = diseases spread, older cats can die suddenly
- High health = automatically cures injuries and extends lifespan
Mutation
- Controls how often cats mutate
- Most mutations have positive effects
Appeal
- Affects the whole house and stray cats that appear each day
- High Appeal = better strays with better stats and skills
- Low Appeal = average strays
Room Setup
- Breeding Room: Max comfort and stimulation
- Nursery: Keep kittens separate to avoid inbreeding
- Fight Room: Low comfort so cats fight (winners get stat boosts)
Furniture Examples (Rare furniture gives double effects)
- Toxic Waste Barrel: +4 Stimulation, -2 Comfort (good for breeding, balance the Comfort loss with other furniture)
- Microwave/Newspapers: +1 Comfort, cheap option
- Daruma Statue: -1 Comfort, +1 Stimulation, +1 Appeal
- Food Storage: +40 Max Food, keeps you stocked without doing runs
Unlocking Cat Info: Tink
Donate 10 kittens to Tink to unlock more information about your cats. Each batch of donations unlocks new features:
- Custom icons: Mark your cats for tracking
- Libido: High, average, or low (affects how often they mate)
- Aggression: High, average, or low (affects how often they fight)
- Inbred status: Shows if a cat is inbred
- Sexual orientation: Heterosexual, gay, or bisexual (shown with flags)
- Stat breakdown: Shows bonus stats vs base stats
- Family tree: Check parents and ancestors
Sexual Orientation
- Gay cats mate with same sex but don’t produce offspring
- Bisexual cats can mate with either sex
- Ditto cats (marked with “?”) can be male or female
- Can have babies with male cats one day, female cats the next
- Can breed with other ditto cats
- Can mate with gay and bisexual cats, letting gay cats pass on their traits
Avoiding Inbreeding
Inbred cats usually have negative traits like lower stats and birth defects. This happens even with distant relatives.
How to avoid it:
- Use stray cats (they’re not related to your cats)
- Check the family tree before breeding
- Use icons to mark cats from the same family line, then keep them separate or breed them with strays
Mutations, Disorders, and Diseases
Mutations happen from the Mutation stat or from events during runs. Most mutations give +2 to one stat and -1 to another (net gain). Some mutations only give positive boosts – keep breeding these cats.
Disorders are inherited from parents.
Diseases appear alongside disorders but some are contagious. Cats recover from diseases through:
- High Health stat in their room
- Random chance after each battle during runs
- Certain events that cure the cat or whole party
Move cats with contagious diseases outside your house, donate them if they meet requirements, or dismiss them.
Fight Club
Cats fight when:
- Room has low Comfort
- Cat has high Aggression
- Two cats are partners and a third cat tries to mate with one (creates a rival)
Fights can cause injuries or death. Winners get a random stat boost.
If you have an extra room, make a fight room: lower the comfort with furniture, put cats with average stats in there, and let them fight. The winners will get boosted stats for adventures.
