Mewgenics How To Get Better Cats

Getting better cats in Mewgenics is not about luck. You improve your bloodline by selective breeding, controlling rooms properly, raising Appeal for stronger strays, and turning furniture into long term upgrades. If you keep running weak starting stats, the issue is usually house progression, not combat skill.

If you just lost multiple runs and your house feels underdeveloped, here is how you rebuild properly.

1. Breed Stats, Not Random Cats

The core rule is simple.

Strong parents produce stronger kittens.

If you want 6s and 7s:

• Pair cats that already have 6s and 7s

• Avoid breeding 4 stat cats unless they have rare abilities

• Remove weak bloodlines from rotation

Stats generally pull from parents. You cannot brute force 7s from weak stock.

Quality in equals quality out.

2. Use Comfort And Stimulation Correctly

To control breeding:

• Place specific cats together in a high Comfort room

• Raise Stimulation to improve inheritance odds for abilities

If you want Cat X to breed with Cat Y, isolate them together. Do not leave them mixed with others.

Breeding rooms should be intentional, not chaotic.

3. Use The Cardboard Box For Economy

The Cardboard Box event is long term power.

If you survive the run, it turns into furniture worth around 40 to 120 gold. That gold funds:

• More Collars

• Better room upgrades

• NPC improvements

• Breeding space

Without gold, your house stagnates. Furniture snowballs your economy.

Hard mode runs combined with Box picks accelerate growth even faster if you can survive.

4. Raise Appeal For Better Strays

Appeal affects the quality of stray cats arriving at your house.

Higher Appeal increases the chance of stronger stat strays. They are rarely perfect, but they introduce:

• New gene strains

• Reduced inbreeding risk

• Fresh stat combinations

Strays are long term genetic injections. If your bloodline is stale, raise Appeal.

5. Cull Aggressively

Do not hoard weak kittens.

If a kitten rolls multiple 3s and 4s with no valuable mutation, remove it from the breeding pool.

It sounds harsh, but Mewgenics rewards selective pressure.

Weak genes slow progress.

6. Focus On One Or Two Core Lines

Instead of breeding everything with everything, build focused lines.

Example strategy:

• Line A focused on Speed and Luck

• Line B focused on Strength and Constitution

Once stable, merge high tier individuals from both lines.

This produces consistent 6 and 7 spreads over generations.

7. Survive First, Scale Second

If you are losing runs and bleeding items, shift strategy.

• Play safer

• Avoid overextending

• Skip greedy Devil Deals

• Prioritize survival to bring home furniture

House progression is more important than one flashy run.

Final Blurb

To get better cats in Mewgenics, you need controlled breeding, high Comfort rooms, strong parent stats, and steady economy growth through furniture and Appeal upgrades. Stop breeding weak lines, isolate strong pairs, raise Appeal for better strays, and invest gold into house improvements. Bloodlines improve over generations, not overnight. Manage genetics deliberately and your starting stats will climb consistently.

FAQ

How do you control which cats breed?

Place the two cats together in a high Comfort room and separate them from others.

Does Appeal give better cats?

Yes. Higher Appeal increases the quality of incoming stray cats.

Is cardboard box worth it?

Yes. It converts into furniture for gold if you survive, which funds long term upgrades.

Why are my kittens weak?

You are likely breeding weak parent stats or not culling low quality lines.
