the personality of your cat affects gameplay, such as where you can and cannot explore as well as what you can do. it is possible to breed for personalities.

"good personalities"

kind - 2nd claim at the kit orphanage

forgiving - permits one free claim from the lost and found per 3 days (instead of the week)

outgoing - attracts other good personality cats

friendly - higher chance to find and claim kits when you explore

caring - higher chance to recieve more kits in a breeding

sweet - can take a claim from the candy jar every 2 weeks (instead of 3 weeks)



"bad personalities"

evil - send kits hunting

cruel - sacrifice cats to gain SP

lazy - send up to 8 cats hunting (instead of 6)

arrogant - higher chance to win during battles

envious - 5% higher chance to successfully steal from another clan (an npc clan)

viscious - attracts other "bad" personality cats

Both bad and good cats in one clan doesn't matter; they still work together perfectly fine!


breeding for personalities

for example, breeding 2 kind cats will result in a kind cat. breeding a kind cat and a lazy cat will have a different percentage. a chart can be found below:

(same personality) good x good:
- 95% chance to get that personality
- 5% chance to get a different good personality

(different personality) good x good:
- 40% chance to get parent 1 personality
- 40% chance to get parent 2 personality
- 20% chance to get a different good personality

(different personality) good x bad
- 25% chance to get parent 1 (good) personality
- 25% chance to get parent 2 (bad) personality
- 25% chance to get a different good personality
- 25% chance to get a different bad personality

(different personality) bad x bad
- 40% chance to get parent 1 personality
- 40% chance to get parent 2 personality
- 20% chance to get a different bad personality

(same personality) bad x bad
- 95% chance to get that personality
- 5% chance to get a different bad personality

breeding is essential to the game as it provides a lot of cats for your clan!

• you may breed your cat once per month. the breeding prompt must be completed each time per new cat pair (so if you are breeding the same cats more than once, you do not need to complete a new prompt)
• breedings may result in up to 4 kits.
• you may choose to send kits to the orphanage.
• cats may be bred up to 3 times, male x female only.

breeding prompts must be 200+ words and include some sort of interaction between both cats.


npc breeders can be used if you only have a founder. each user has one breeding to each npc.
