Mewgenics Dead Cats In The House: Should You Keep Or Remove Them

If you leave dead cats inside your house in Mewgenics, your living cats can get diseases and negative effects. Early on, it is better to remove them or isolate them in a separate room. Later, an NPC will take dead cats in exchange for upgrades, so do not waste them too quickly.

Here is how the system works.

What Happens If You Keep Dead Cats

Dead cats inside shared rooms cause problems.

Living cats in the same space can:

• Develop diseases

• Get negative mood effects

• Start fighting

This can spiral into more injuries and more problems.

Dead bodies are not harmless decorations. They actively hurt your colony.

Should You Throw Them In The Sewer

Throwing them into the sewer removes the problem immediately.

This is the safest option early in the game if you do not have space to isolate them. You do not receive a reward for dumping them.

If you are struggling with disease or fighting, removing them is the clean fix.

The Better Option Later

As you progress, an NPC becomes available who accepts dead cats in exchange for upgrades.

This makes dead cats valuable resources instead of trash.

If you have access to that NPC:

• Store dead cats temporarily

• Keep them isolated from healthy cats

• Turn them in for upgrades

This is far better than dumping them.

Best Practice For Dead Cats

Early game:

• Remove them quickly to prevent disease

Mid to late game:

• Place them in a separate room away from living cats

• Turn them in for upgrade rewards

Never leave them mixed in with your active breeding population.

Does Leaving Them Outside Help

Placing them outside or in a separate unused room helps as long as they are not sharing space with living cats.

The key factor is contact and shared room exposure.

Isolation prevents negative effects.

Final Blurb

Dead cats in Mewgenics are not neutral. If left in shared rooms, they can spread disease and cause problems. Early on, it is fine to remove them. Later, they become upgrade currency through an NPC.

Isolate them or convert them. Just do not leave them in the middle of your colony.
