## What is Cat Genetics Lab?

The things cats hate have come alive!
Vacuums, hair dryers, cucumbers, nail clippers... Your cat squad fights back with paw blasters and takes the house back, one room at a time.

■ Satisfying idle battles
Battles run on their own. Blast through whole waves while the damage numbers keep climbing. Gold piles up even while you're away.

■ Genes decide every role
Each kitten's role follows real cat genetics.
• Orange = Fire, black = Shadow, calico & tortie = both (females only)
• Tabby = rapid fire, solid = piercing sniper
• Dilute = support that boosts the squad, pointed = criticals, long hair = splash damage, white spots = Lucky Cat gold bonus
• White cats fire holy beams. The ultra-rare male calico doubles every stat
Recessive traits only appear when both parents carry a hidden copy. Choosing the right pair is the whole game.

■ Breed for the boss's weakness
A boss appears every 10 stages, with weaknesses, resistances and armor. Check the next boss and breed the kittens you need.

■ Your bloodline survives every rebirth
Stuck? Rebirth. Levels and stages reset, but your cats' genes and talent stay. Every rebirth makes the whole squad stronger, and the stages never end.

■ Deduce hidden genes
Genes you can't see are shown as "?". When a recessive kitten is born, its parents' secrets are revealed.

■ 244 coats to collect
Version 2.1 adds the round, short "bobtail". Your cats and collection from earlier versions carry over.

• Ads are optional videos only — no full-screen ads interrupt play. Remove Ads (one-time) gives you the video rewards without watching. Also available: the cosmetic Style Pack (10 collar colors, 4 backgrounds), Cat Can packs, the 30-day Cat Can Pass with cans every day, and a one-time Starter Pack. Cat Cans are also earned by beating bosses and from the daily bonus.

## Key features
