So, are reincarnated cats allowed? I saw a question about this earlier, and I don’t have any plans right now, I was just wondering if that was a possible thing?

So long as they don't have the knowledge or experiences from the original, there are those who have remade their characters in that way.

So i recently remembered reading something in the rules and hunted down which exact rule section i remember it being in

(Battle rules)

13. Disabled cats take a -5 HP/-30 SP rank penalty. Disabilities include being unnaturally short or tall, partial/full blindness/deafness, and missing/damaged/broken body parts. Only mute/no tail cats are free of this penalty.

I never gave it much thought, but Smallbean is considerably shorter than most other cats (look at my signature for scale. Robinloft and Elsa are average heights)

should he have disabled stats?

Not necessarily. I think with regular smallness, it's up to you. If Smallbean had genetic dwarfism, such as in the case of Tinylegs, then we would enforce the disability stats. Hope that helps <3

Does talking with another cat at a Gathering count as “Interacting with a cat from another clan” (the development requirement)?

I have another question lol,

So, in battle, can you switch opponents if they aren’t engaged in your battle?

excuse me, quick question, do rouges/loners/kittypets start out as kits? I don't see a kit option on the rank system, thats why i'm wondering, also I want to make a non-clan cat.

Yes, it would!

Not unless your current opponent is KOed. The "Switching Focus" move is specifically if you are being double-teamed, as switching to a completely different opponent would be fleeing a battle, which is against the rules.

They can start out as kits, but they don't have to. A rogue/loner/kittypet can be of any age, which is one of the perks of having one!

Thank you! that is very helpful!

Is the 'one week' req for kits one week since creation or one week since first post?

One week since the creation is approved!

would loner/rouge and kittypet becoming mates need to be approved on the plot board? (not planning it, just wondering for the future)

I'm pretty sure I know this one, but asking anyway: When you're pinned using leap and hold for two turns, you have to post three times before you can battle: twice under the pin, and once getting out of the pin? For the turn where you're escaping the pin, you can't attack the opponent, can you?

GreenLeap: Since rogues, kittypets, and loners are all in the same category of outsiders, their romances are not against the code and do not need to be approved.

Sal: If this seems slightly long-winded, my apologies! I just want to make sure I tell you the right answer.

Catface has been pinned for two turns.

First post: Catface is pinned.

Second post: Catface is pinned.

Third post: Catface is no longer pinned. Catface uses Front Paw Strike.

In other words, on the third post, your cat is unpinned and can attack again. I hope that helps!

ah thanks, you cleared it up for me! ^^
