How to Use Retired Cats in Mewgenics

Retired cats in Mewgenics are cats that have successfully completed any adventure run and returned to their home, and they’re marked by a small crown next to their name. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to use these retired cats in the game, since they can no longer be sent on new adventures or regular battles, but still can be valuable.

Use Retired Cats for Breeding

Since retired cats often return with boosted stats, skills, and mutations from the runs, they excel at producing superior kittens by passing their base stats, abilities, and traits, although not permanent boosts. Note that if you donate 10 kittens to Tink early on, you’ll be able to read the base stats of your retired cats, selecting only the best couples for breeding. Here’s what you should do:

• Keep only retired cats that have high base stats, positive mutations, and desired abilities.
• The best retired cats have a high libido but low aggression, which makes them breed frequently with fewer fights.
• Set up a separate room in your house for breeding and make it comfortable.
• This breeding room should have at least two retired hetero cat couples with furniture and a Daruma statue for increased appeal.
• Put new kittens every morning into the separate nursery to prevent inbreeding.

Sometimes you may get kittens with mediocre stats due to RNG, so you should just donate them immediately and put only the best kittens in the nursery. Also, make sure that they have enough food in the storage and clean both rooms every day.

House Boss Fights

After completing Act I of the story, you’ll start getting these house boss battle warnings with a countdown. This is a special mode designed specifically for your retired cats that can fight once the countdown is over. Here’s how you should approach this event:

1. Select exactly four retired cats via the adventure box, which you consider the strongest.
2. The best team comp looks like this: Healer (Cleric), DPS (Hunter, Thief, or Necro), Tank, and one more per your preference.
3. Once they defeat a boss, you earn a special quest item.
4. After the fight, all the winning cats become super retired with a glowing crown.
5. This means that they can’t fight in the future house battles, but you can still breed or donate them.

There are three house bosses that your cats may encounter, depending on your progression. Here are all the house bosses and their rewards:

Donate Retired Cats for Rewards

Finally, when you’re left with injured, old, and weak retired cats that aren’t good for either breeding or boss fighting, then you can donate them to one of the following NPCs for rewards:
