Genetics

Genetics in Mewgenics is about inheritance across generations. Public breeding notes and community testing suggest that kittens inherit stats, spells/skills, passives, disorders, voices, and mutations through multiple layered rolls rather than one simple “copy parent” rule.

What can pass down?

  • Stats: each stat can favor one parent, with stimulation improving the chance of inheriting the better value.
  • Skills/spells: skill inheritance is one of the biggest reasons to breed deliberately.
  • Mutations: many mutations are inheritable and can define a bloodline.
  • Disorders and defects: bad traits can also persist, especially with inbreeding or poor bloodline control.
  • Cosmetic/body traits: body-part mutations and voices can persist across generations.
Stimulation is useful, but community formula notes suggest it is not magic by itself. Good parents, good rooms, and clean bloodline management still matter.

Practical rule

Breed for a purpose. Decide whether the cat is a combat carry, a breeder, a mutation project, or disposable exploration stock. Keeping every mediocre cat makes the house worse over time.
