## Injuries

Your cats can be injured while patrolling or when time skipping to the next moon. A medicine cat may treat injuries to lessen the chances of infection, speed up healing time, and decrease the chance of death. These actions can be viewed in the "log" tab in the medicine cat den. An injured cat will have "injured!" in their basic information. Depending on the severity of the cat's injury, the cat may or may not curl up. There are three ways to classify an injury, "Minor", "Major", and "Severe". Depending on the rating of the injury, the chance of death and infection, and their healing time, will change. Some injuries may cause permanent conditions

Every cat has a different duration of recovery.

#### Grief-stricken

Grief from the loss of a loved one is listed as an illness in the game's code. Grief is not fatal or infectious, but can cause constant nightmares and may cause the afflicted cat to develop lasting grief. Grief may render a cat unable to work, but not always. Unlike other illnesses, a grief-stricken cat will have "grief-stricken" in their basic information instead of "sick!"

## Permanent conditions

Permanent conditions are afflictions a cat will have for the rest of their life. Some have little to no impact on them, while others may increase the possibility of other illnesses or cause recurring problems for them. Cats with permanent conditions will have "has a permanent condition" in their basic information. You can check what permanent condition the cat has by clicking the "Conditions" tab. This will also reveal how long the cat has had the condition.

###### **Crooked jaw**

Cats can only develop this condition later in life. A broken jaw could lead to a crooked jaw.

###### **Blind/One bad eye/Failing eyesight**

Cats can be born with these conditions or develop them later. Cats may be forced to retire due to blindness and failing eyesight. One bad eye has a chance of developing into failing eyesight. Failing eyesight has a chance of developing into complete blindness.

###### **Constant joint pain**

Cats can be born with this condition or develop it later in life.

###### **Deaf/partial hearing loss**

Cats can be born with these conditions or develop it later in life. Partial hearing loss has a chance of developing into complete deafness.

###### **Lasting grief**
