Customization

**Customization** is a gameplay element in Cattails. It allows the player to customize their cat's appearance with accessories, coat colors, and eye colors. There are currently 103 accessible coat colors and 13 eye colors.

## Changing

The player can customize their cat by opening their inventory and selecting **Change** on the right side, or by opening the inventory and pressing the space bar. In the customization menu, the player cat's eye color and accessories can be changed in the left panel (next to the cat eyes icon), while coat color can be changed in the center panel by selecting any of the square-shaped icons.

The player can change their eye color anytime. There are thirteen default eye colors available. The player cannot unlock or buy new eye colors. The player cat's kittens can inherit their eye color, their mate's, or a mix of both parents' colors.

## Coat Colors

Coat colors can be used to customize the player cat's fur. There are 6 default coat colors available. Other colors can be bought at shops, unlocked by entering promo codes, or earned by fulfilling other requirements (see Special Conditions below).

The player can change a Custom Colony cat's fur by using the Recolor Token. The Recolor Token cannot be used on kittens or cats from the three main colonies.

### Coat Color Promo Codes

Custom coat colors can be unlocked by entering the coat's promo code into the text box on the right side of the customization menu. Promo codes never expire. Some custom coat colors were created by the developers, but most were made by backers of the original Cattails Kickstarter who backed the Radiant Rex tier or higher. These backers are not obligated to release their codes, and may choose to share it or keep it to themselves.

## Trivia

* If the player reaches 5 stars with one of their kittens, they will unlock that kitten's coat as a customization option. Kitten colors are unique to the current save file and cannot be transferred to any other save files.
* The “Hacker” coat color's code is a reference to Warrior Cats: Untold Tales, one of Falcon Development's first games. In the game, if the player tried to name their cat “Falconstar”, it would change to “Nicetryhacker”.
* Re-colored Custom Colony cats do not receive effects given by certain coats (the translucency from Guardian and Ghost, and the color changing from Rainbow and Aurora). Kittens cannot inherit these effects from the player, either.
* Certain cats' coat colors are completely unique to them and cannot be obtained by the player. However, many cats have obtainable coat colors:
	+ Coco uses the Black/White color.
	+ Elli uses the Orange Calico color.
	+ Ember uses the Orange Tabby color.
	+ Scout uses the Brown Tiger color.
	+ Luna uses the Siamese color.
	+ Delta uses the Delta promo code color.
	+ Pebble uses the Gray color.
	+ Oracle uses the Tortoise color.
	+ Slip uses the Black color.
	+ Mossie uses the Mossy promo code color.
