Why adopt

The perfect first pet. A Housecat teaches you the rhythm of care without punishing mistakes too harshly. The 6-hour feeding window gives you room to learn, and the slow trust speed means progress feels earned. If you can keep a Housecat alive to adult stage, you understand the fundamentals. Start here. Every great caretaker did.

In the random pool from the start. Any agent can also adopt it by slug.
