Neko Warriors are tiny, unique pixel cats that you can collect and/or make into characters.
They are based on real cats and thus come in a variety of semi-realistic colors and patterns!
We say semi-realistic because only certain colors and patterns are available in Neko Warriors.
To learn more about these cats, please read the Information and Genetics section found below!

XXXThe Neko Warrior lineart was based off the Neko Atsume cats but was not traced. It was drawn free hand by rainbowpanda101. The designs of the Neko Warriors will not resemble the cats from Neko Atsume at all and will be much more detailed, with the lineart being colored in instead of remaining black. Members who adopt from Neko Warriors will be allowed to turn their cats into Warriors like those from the book series or simply collect them for their signatures or as regular cat characters. Drawing or making art of your Neko Warriors is highly encouraged, and if you'd ever like to share your art you may do so here in the Community thread!
Not Included
XXXNeko Warriors can only be shorted haired so long haired versions will not be included. They also cannot be what is known as silver or smoke, a certain color that can be found in real cats. These are the only two options found in the calculator that will not be used in Neko Warriors. The rest (Eumelanin, Sex-linked Red , Dilution, Tabby, Tabby Pattern, Colorpoint, and White) will be used.Included Options Explained
Gender
XXXAll Neko Warriors will be assigned a gender. However, Neko Warriors can have any gender identity or sexual preference, as decided by the owner. The only time gender is restricted is in regarding Red or Tortoiseshell cats. Red cats are most often male, but they can on occasion be female. As for Tortoiseshells, only female Neko Warriors can be Tortoiseshell. In real life, male Tortoiseshells are possible but it is only due to a genetic defect, which causes the male to be sterile and unable to produce offspring. As we don't want to have to worry about keeping track of sterile Neko Warriors, male Tortoiseshells will not be possible.Eye & Nose Colors
XXXThe eye and nose colors are determined by the coat. For example, a black cat can have copper, orange, or green eyes and a black or charcoal gray nose while a black tabby can have copper, orange, green, or hazel eyes and a brick red nose. To see what eye colors are paired with what coat colors, please check THIS chart.Eumelanin
XXXEumelanin helps determine the color of a Neko Warrior. There are 6 options for Eumelanin in the calculator: Black; Black, carries chocolate; Black, carries cinnamon; Chocolate; Chocolate, carries cinnamon; and Cinnamon. Black produces a black cat, while Black, carries chocolate and Black, carries cinnamon are both black but have the possibility of passing on Chocolate or Cinnamon. Chocolate produces a brown cat, while Chocolate, carries cinnamon is brown but has the possibility of passing on Cinnamon. Cinnamon produces a reddish brown cat. If any of these are paired with Red or Tortoiseshell from the Sex-linked Red option, the cat will be red or tortoiseshell instead.Sex-linked Red
XXXAlong with Eumelanin, Sex-linked Red helps determine the color of a Neko Warrior. There are 3 options for Sex-linked Red in the calculator: Not red, Red, and Tortoiseshell. If a cat is Not red, its color will be determined by the Eumelanin option. For example, if the Eumelanin option is Black and the Sex-linked Red option is Not red, then the cat will be black. However, if a cat has Red for its Sex-linked Red option then it will have an orange coat, whether it is male or female.
XXXFemales also have the option of being a Tortoiseshell. There are 6 types of Tortoiseshell: Tortoiseshell, Chocolate Tortoiseshell, Cinnamon Tortoiseshell, Dilute Tortoiseshell, Lilac-Cream Tortoiseshell, and Fawn-Cream Tortoiseshell. The Sex-linked Red option for all of these options is Tortoiseshell. The Eumelanin option for plain or Dilute Tortoiseshells can be Black; or Black, carries chocolate; or Black, carries cinnamon. The Eumelanin option for Chocolate or Lilac-Cream Tortoiseshells can be Chocolate or Chocolate, carries Cinnamon. The Eumelanin option for Cinnamon or Fawn-Cream Tortoiseshells can only be Cinnamon.Dilution
XXXDilution changes the color of the coat. There are 3 options for Dilution in the calculator: Non-dilute; Non-dilute, carrier; and Dilute. If the Dilute option is either Non-dilute or Non-dilute, carrier, then the coat color is not affected. Non-Dilute, carrier makes the cat Non-dilute but has the possibility of passing on Dilute. If the option is Dilute, then the coat is affected. Black becomes Gray. Chocolate becomes Lilac. Cinnamon becomes Fawn. And Red becomes Cream.
XXXThe same goes for Tortoiseshells; whatever colors are in the Tortoiseshell are diluted to the new colors. A plain Tortoiseshell is patched in black and red while a Dilute Tortoiseshell is patched in gray and cream. A Chocolate Tortoiseshell is patched in brown and red while a Lilac-Cream Tortoiseshell is patched in lilac and cream. A Cinnamon Tortoiseshell is patched in red-brown and red while a Fawn-Cream Tortoiseshell is patched in fawn and cream.Tabby
XXXTabby determines whether a Neko Warrior will be striped or not. If a Neko Warrior has stripes, those stripes will be the color the coat should be, while the body is a lighter shade of that. There are 3 options for Tabby in the calculator: Solid; Tabby, carries Solid; and Tabby. Solid means the cat will not have stripes at all. Tabby, carries solid means the cat has stripes but carries the possibility of passing on Solid. And Tabby means the cat has stripes. This option is paired with the following Tabby Pattern option. If the Tabby option is Tabby, carries Solid or Tabby, then the Tabby Pattern option will affect the cat, as well.Tabby Pattern
XXXTabby Pattern determines what type of stripes a tabby Neko Warrior will have. There are 4 options for Tabby Pattern in the calculator: Mackerel, Classic, Spotted, and Ticked. Mackerel adds stripes similar to tiger stripes all over the body with bands on the legs and tail. Classic adds a blotched or swirling striped pattern to the body with bands on the legs and tail. Spotted adds solid spots or rosettes to the body with bands on the legs and tail. Ticked adds a freckled look to the body with bands on the legs and tail. All tabbies have an M shape on their forehead formed by the stripes.
XXXTabby can be paired with Tortoiseshell. These cats are known as Torbies in the Neko Warrior world. The stripes change color depending on the color of the patch of fur underneath. For example, if a stripe passes over a black patch the stripe will be a darker black. If the same stripe passes over a red patch, it will be a darker red. A single stripe can change color multiple times if it passes over a number of different patches on the tortoiseshell coat.Colorpoint
XXXColorpoint determines whether a Neko Warrior is a colorpoint or not. If a Neko Warrior is a colorpoint, the face, ears, legs, and tail are a darker shade than the rest of the body. There are 3 options for Colorpoint in the calculator: Not Pointed; Not pointed, carries point; and Pointed. Not Pointed means the cat will not have colorpoint at all. Not pointed, carries point means the cat is not colorpoint but carries the possibility of passing on Pointed. And Pointed means the cat has colorpoint, so its face, ears, legs, and tail are darker.
XXXColorpoint comes in 3 variations: Point, Mink, and Sepia. The amount of contrast between the face, ears, legs, and tail versus the body varies between each. Point has the largest amount of contrast, so the face, ears, legs, and tail are very different from the body. Mink has a medium amount of contrast, so the face, ears, legs, and tail are vaguely different shades. And Sepia has the least amount of contrast, so the face, ears, legs, and tail are barely different from the body.
XXXColorpoint can be paired with Tortoiseshell and Tabby. If it is also Tortoiseshell, then only the face, ears, legs, and tail will show the tortoiseshell pattern. If it is also Tabby, then only the face, ears, legs, and tail will show the striped pattern. If it is Tortoiseshell, Tabby, and Colorpoint, the striped tortoiseshell pattern will still only appear on the face, ears, legs, and tail. The rest of the body will be a solid color, which is determined by the coat color.White Spotting
XXXWhite spotting determines how much white is on a Neko Warrior, if any at all. There are 3 options for White in the calculator that we will be using: No white; 0-50%; and 50-100%. No white means the cat will have no white on it at all. 0-50% means the cat has white that covers up to 50% of its body. 50-100% means the cat has white that covers 50% to 100% of its body. However, no Neko Warriors will be fully white. Any that have large amounts of white will still have some colored patches on them.
XXXWhite spotting starts on the chest, belly, paws, and can be on the tail tip. As the white spreads, it will first start to cover the chest and belly before moving on up the legs. As the white spreads, it can leave patches of color behind on the legs but most often leaves patches on the back. The head and tail are the last to become white.
XXXCats with any amount of white on them are capable of having heterochromia, or two different eye colors. One eye will be blue while the other matches whatever possible eye colors are paired with their base coat. For example, a black tabby with white on it might have one blue eye and one copper eye. If a cat has no white on it at all, it cannot have heterochromia. Parents can pass on heterochromia to their kits during breeding, but only if their kits receive white spotting from their parents.Last edited by
