Mewgenics Flags Guide
The flags on cats in Mewgenics indicate sexual orientation and directly affect breeding behavior. Rainbow flag means homosexual, the purple three stripe flag means bisexual, and no flag means straight. These flags do not affect combat stats, only who a cat will attempt to breed with.
There is no in game legend explaining this clearly, which is why it confuses a lot of players.
Here is the full breakdown.
Rainbow Flag Meaning
The standard rainbow pride flag means the cat is homosexual.
Homosexual cats:
Attempt to reproduce only with the same sex
Cannot produce kittens in same sex pairings
Can still pair with special flexible types if available
If you place two rainbow flag cats together, they will not produce kittens through normal breeding.
This is a breeding compatibility rule, not a stat penalty.
Purple Three Stripe Flag Meaning
The purple three shade flag represents bisexual.
Bisexual cats:
Attempt to reproduce with both sexes
Can successfully produce kittens with the opposite sex
Have more pairing flexibility
This makes them easier to slot into breeding rooms compared to exclusively homosexual cats.
No Flag Meaning
Cats with no flag are straight.
Straight cats:
Attempt to breed with the opposite sex
Follow standard breeding rules
They are the simplest to manage when setting up controlled pairings.
Why Some Cats Do Not Produce Kittens
If two cats are incompatible due to sex and orientation, breeding will not happen even in high Comfort rooms.
That means:
Feeding them more will not fix it
Raising Comfort will not override it
You must adjust pairings
Always check flags before assigning breeding rooms.
Do Flags Affect Stray Mechanics
There is community discussion suggesting that non breeding couples may influence the type of stray cats that appear at your house.
Strays introduce new gene strains, which reduces inbreeding risks. Some players believe orientation combinations may affect stray traits, but this has not been fully confirmed through testing.
What is confirmed is that strays bring genetic diversity, which is important long term.
Should You Keep Or Discard Flagged Cats
Flags only affect breeding compatibility. They do not change:
Combat stats
Ability performance
Adventure strength
If a flagged cat has strong stats or valuable mutations, it can still be useful in your roster or gene planning.
The key is managing breeding rooms efficiently.
Final Blurb
In Mewgenics, flags indicate sexual orientation and determine breeding compatibility. Rainbow means homosexual, purple means bisexual, and no flag means straight. They do not impact combat performance, but they do affect which cats can produce kittens together. Understanding flags helps you avoid wasted breeding setups and plan your gene pool more effectively.
