Stats: Every cat now has two stats, insight and charisma. These two traits are important for detecting the infection and convincing others of a cat's health. These stats are random and found by rolling 4 6-sided die, dropping the lowest roll and adding up the rest. The highest value is applied based on the in-game trait of the cat (all traits have been sorted as a charismatic trait or insightful trait). Skills also have an impact on these values as some traits can grant 1-4 extra stat points into one of the two categories.

The Infection: The infection is the plague that destroyed the clans and led to the formation of Plagueclan. This infection is rabies-like and can be passed via bodily fluids like spit and blood. While it is not quite a zombie plague as the cats are not undead, the cats do appear more deteriorated and skeletal due to the brain blocking out pain receptors and the virus pushing them forwards no matter what. Because of this, they are hard to kill but not immortal. The infection is incredibly dangerous and always fatal but can be avoided via immunity.
