What does the cost of cats depend on, you ask? With the help of a genetic algorithm, each new cat has special properties that can be transmitted from parents or appear through mutation. The rarest and unique they are, the more expensive the cost of the cat. As previously mentioned, each kitten appears in virtual reality with a certain set of qualities. He also has a pedigree that can be traced. Kittens don’t die and don’t duplicate, so the only way to reproduce is to find a pair for your pet. Following the logical development of affairs, the couple has a baby. You can keep it for yourself or sell it to buy a cat with the necessary parameters.

In this case, you need to set the starting and final price. Although, if you don't want to sell the cat, you can make an inseminator out of it. This process is called Siring. In this case, one player pays the second player to get a newborn kitten from the other player's cat, without buying it out.



The big advantage is time. Yes, cats differ in this attribute, too. Animals have a recovery time of the reproductive system. The smaller it is, the faster the cats can reproduce again. This quality is one of the most valuable.

Each cat has its own 256-bit genome code, which is responsible for the quality of the animal. Because of this, the genetic algorithm was able to recreate an analog of biological genetics. At the same time, the first generation of cats is Gen0. the rest of the generations come from them. They are formed according to three factors:

• Choice – transfer of the best qualities from generation to generation;
  
  
• Mixing – common parent variables are stored and passed on to offspring;
  
  
• Mutation – some traits of the parents are randomly mutated. This allows the system to consider an unlimited number of possibilities for finding the optimal solution in creating cats.




Mixing is the most popular type of breeding of offspring. Generations can be formed among groups such as Ordinary, Fancy, Exclusive, Special Edition, Shiny Fantasy. Each of them has its own backstory, which can be read in the section Guides, Types of cats.
