Cats
Please note that this page may include spoilers. Continue at your own discretion.
Cats are an adoptable NPC that are a staple in the development in your Cat Cafe and in the satisfaction of your customers.
Strays
Strays come to your cafe when you put out lures. Each group of strays will only appear when you place a certain lure outside. In order to adopt a stray, you must feed and pet them at least three times. They come with predetermined Skills and a Trait. Cat slots can be freed up by giving up cats to forever homes through the Note Board. They can be readopted after finishing the Shrine. More cat slots are unlocked through More Cats Projects.
Skills
Skills refer to a cat's stats for certain customers. They can be increased through levelling up, and some Traits unlock the Skill for a different customer type. Levelling up requires Cat Training Points. These are earned through cats interacting with customers. Higher levels cost more Cat Training Points.
Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
Needs
Needs for each cat vary between hunger (Cat Food), stress release (Scratch Poles), bladder (Cat Litter), Toys, and sleep (Cat Beds). These are listed under Cafe Stats in build mode. The numbers on the left show what you have, and the numbers on the right show what your cats need. Needs are satisfied by placing items bought from Pet Goods after they're unlocked through the Shrine.
Traits
Traits affect cat skills, needs, cafe stats, or resource payouts. A new trait can be selected from a random group of 3 after every 3 levels. There are 53 cat traits, but some of them are special to specific cats and can't be applied to others.
