Here's a list of every question I've answered to somebody outside of the forums in the last 24 hours:

Someone asked
Will there be a way to change/randomize the colors or patterns on cats?

It doesn't exist yet, but it will. This is tied to the alchemy update which is on my dev plan for post-beta.

Someone asked
How does breeding not cats work? Do they have to decide to make a relationship first?

Answer courtesy Celes: There’s 3 ways to get beans! The first is to have your cats naturally choose to become partners & naturally choose to start a family. This can take time and is done through Daily Scenarios.

The second method is using items you can make in the crafting section to Make cats partners (you need the Scribe occupation for that), and a new item to Make them have beans (you need the Apothecary for that)

The third is that sometimes Nestor will bring you a kitten who you can have any cat adopt

Also not every cat can have beans with each other! North wind can’t have beans with other north wind cats, south winds with other south winds, and null wind cats can’t have beans except through adoption

Trade wind cats can have beans with anyone except null, and south and north can have beans with each other (and trade)

Squid adds: There are really two ways to play, you can be more hands on and really matchmake your cats and make them fit how you want them, or you can be really hands off and simply observe as they become partners or bffs and start families on their own.

Someone asked
Guessing there's an item/way to break not-cat relationships too?

There's a "Letter of New Beginnings" item at the Scribe that resets the relationship to acquaintance.

They also ask for approval before doing anything on their own, so if they want to be partners or something it'll prompt you "cat and cat would like to be partners. do you approve?" and you can either approve or ignore it.

Someone asked
Is there a custom accessory item planned/etc? Or is there already one?
<- already thinking of drawing silly clothes on my cats esp if i make one of my sona

Planned but does not exist yet! A system to let users draw and upload their own custom clothes and decoration is on the dev plan for the end of beta.

It will be tied to the premium currency, which is also available in game as a reward for sending cats to the city, leveling cats up in adventuring, and completing adventuring locations.

Someone asked
When do I unlock the baker job?

Occupations are all unlocked by crafting the right buildings or workstations with your Builder or Mason. You can unlock Baker with the bonfire at builder or one of the ovens at mason.

Someone asked
Can usernames be changed?

Yes, under account settings (Click the arrow by your username in the header). There's a cooldown so you can only change it once every so often (once I month I believe, so it might be 30 days).

Someone asked
Is there a way to change the birthdate associated with my account? I messed up when signing up.

Not currently front-end. Send me a PM on the site or an email via the contact us if this happened to you and I can update it. I'll work on adding a way for you to do this on your end when I get the time.

Someone asked
How long have you been working on this, just curious?

I started working on the art roughly Sept 1st 2019, which is why this date is "Day 0 / Year 0" in the game's in-game clock. I started working on coding the site itself in late Dec 2019, and the game was hosted and moved into alpha in late Dec 2020.

Someone asked
How does one get notes in the catsite?

Currently the only ways to make money are to sell spare items to Brian in Quick Sales and send cats to the City (and open the gifts they leave behind, this permanently removes them from the game).

Your other core way of earning money will be when your cats level up in adventuring, you will get a chest with treats and money so u will get it by increasing all ur cats' strongth

Someone asked
Squid where do the random cat names come from… a list?

They come from dozens of random lists on the internet merged and combined into 4 different subgroups:

- "List of Names for Cats"
- "Nature Names" / "Nature Words"
- "Fantasy Names"
- And "Pretty-Sounding Words" (which is why you get weird stuff like Arbitrage in there.)

I'll admit i haven't read every name on every list so if you do see something weird feel free to send an email about it so i can remove it from the list.

Someone asked
Is there a way to not see the eyes when visiting Nestor?

I actually have on my to-do list a setting in accounts to turn off the floating eyes because I did suspect this could be a problem for some. Nestor is polite, he would close his eyes for u. It just requires re-doing the art because Nestor was drawn all on one layer. I will prioritize this now that I've been asked.

For now, you can adblock him.

Someone asked
Does anybody know what the ,, cute rainbow batteries under forum users are? Is that correlated w number of forum posts?

Wolf answered this one: It's connected to account age.

Here's when it ticks up:
- 14 Days
- 28 Days
- 49 Days
- 98 Days
- 196 Days
- 392 Days
- 588 Days
- 784 Days

Someone asked
What's the last daily activity on the profile page? with the sparkles

The last daily is tied to magic. You will eventually dig up (not released for a while, scheduled for the Magic update post-beta) a magical crystal and if your cats gaze at it once a day they have a chance of discovering their aspect (magic affinity / kitty superpower).
