**Kittens** are NPCs who appear in Cattails. The player can only have one litter of kittens per save file, even after divorce. If the player cat is married and has a den nursery room, their mate will eventually ask about kittens.

Confirming “Yes.” means the player will eventually have kittens.
Confirming “Maybe.” means the player will not have kittens until they are asked again and say “Yes.”
Confirming “No.” means the player will never have kittens and will not be asked again.

## Coat Colors

At birth, kittens will generate three coat color options to choose from. These options are a mix of the player's and their spouse's current coat colors and there are twelve unique patterns for each pairing, listed below. A kitten's coat color cannot be changed; if they are in the Custom Colony and given a Recolor Token, they will take it as a gift and nothing will happen.

When a kitten's friendship reaches five stars, the player can obtain their kitten's coat color. There is no notification of this event and the player simply has to check their customization menu. Kitten coat colors are unique to that save file only and are non-transferable to another file.

Results from the table are White (player) X Black (spouse), both with yellow eyes. When the Spouse and Player have different eye colors, it can create a mixed eye color. Example: Scout's light blue eyes mixed with terquoise eyes makes teal eyes for the kittens.

## Kitten Growth

Kittens have four stages with different abilities and behaviors. Each stage can last anywhere from one season to a year.

#### Before Birth

During this stage, the player will wait for kittens to arrive. The player is only allowed one litter per save file, even after divorcing a previous mate and finding another. The due date ranges from a minimum of ten days to a maximum of two years. The number of kittens (between one and four) is determined by gifts that the player gives their mate after agreeing to have kittens - if the player gives their mate more well-liked gifts, they will have more kittens. Giving gifts to their mate will also decrease the waiting time for kittens to be born.

#### Newborn

When a kitten arrives, the player can select its coat color and name. There are three coat color options to select from per kitten, randomly generated from twelve possible options (see Coat Colors, above). After the kittens arrive, the player's mate will stand in the nursery instead of the bedroom.

During the newborn stage, kittens will be asleep all day. Interacting with them before 7 PM displays a message describing the kitten's behavior while they sleep. These messages may vary based on the kitten's personality. Other than this, the player cannot do anything with their kittens until they reach the toddler stage.

#### Toddler

Kittens will become toddlers after approximately ten days. As toddlers, kittens wake up and start speaking, and can be given gifts. Kittens' personalities start to become clearer at this stage, though their dialogue is simple and childlike. A toddler kitten cannot be taken outside and will stay in the den all day. For the first half of this phase, kittens will sit instead of standing, and will stay on their beds. As they mature, they can stand up and move around the nursery. From this stage onward, kittens will go to sleep at 7 PM and wake up at 7 AM.

#### Half-Grown

The half-grown phase starts roughly a season or two after the kitten becomes a toddler (or two - three seasons after the kitten's birth). During the half-grown phase, kittens will grow larger and stand up, some before others. Their dialogue is coherent and they can now be taken out. Each day, kittens may choose to stand in a different area near their bed or sit instead of standing.

Kittens in this stage can be asked to follow the player outside the den. They also now have an XP meter with levels 0 to 10 that can be increased by fighting, foraging, and hunting. At higher levels, kittens will deal more damage to foes, forage quicker, and gain more total health. (See Kitten Skills below for more information.) A kitten's size does not increase by gaining XP and leveling up; they only grow larger when they mature.

#### Adult

During this stage, kittens are fully matured with adult dialogue. Kittens reach adult size after two in-game years. They will not gain any new abilities from the half-grown stage. Fully matured kittens do not move out, and will continue to live in the player's den, even in adulthood. They can still follow the player and gain XP.

## Kitten Skills

When kittens are taken out of the den, they can fight, forage, and hunt. Kittens begin as novices, dealing little damage and missing pounces and herbs. Kitten skills are not separate, so all activities can increase XP from levels 0 to 10. A kitten may receive higher skill gains depending on its personality.

The quickest way to level up a kitten is to take them into battles or mines. With a max fighting skill, give an enemy or rival cat a few swipes to lessen its damage to the kitten and allow them to defeat foes to level up faster. The player should be aware of their kitten's health amount while doing this to prevent their kitten from reaching zero health.

If a kitten's health reaches zero, they will return to the den to rest for the day, but will not die. They cannot be taken out again until they recover. The player can take their kitten out the next day, but they should heal them by giving them Marigold or Goldenseal when they are following them or by visiting a doctor.

## Personalities

In a litter of four kits, each kitten is randomly assigned a unique personality which affects dialogue and gift preferences. As kittens wake up and their dialogue matures, the player may gain more insight into the kittens' personalities. Their personality will also make certain skill gains more effective.

#### Creative

This kitten may mention art and music in their dialogue, such as wanting to sing with the player or creating an art project. They are skilled foragers.

#### Adventurous

This kitten may mention wanting to go outside on adventures and trying new things, such as swimming. They are skilled hunters.

#### Friendly

This kitten may ask the player what their plans are in their dialogue. They don't have any skill gain.

#### Reserved

This kitten may mention wanting to be alone, liking the dark, or saying little and using ellipses (...) in their dialogue. They don't have any skill gain.

## Trivia

* If a kitten tries to give the player an item and they leave the map tile without taking it, it is left where the kitten was standing.
* In the Custom Colony update, a glitch that had allowed multiple litters was fixed. The player is only allowed one litter per save file, even after divorce.
* Kittens are the only NPCs whose friendship does not drop instantly when given a Black Rose.
* Kittens cannot inherit the Guardian coat color's glow or Glow Potion effect when used. They also do not inherit the Ghost coat color's transparency, or the Rainbow or Aurora coat colors' color changing.
