How to Heal and Revive Cats in Mewgenics

Keeping your cats alive is one of the biggest challenges in Mewgenics. Healing is scarce, and understanding how to effectively heal and revive your squad is crucial for successful runs.

How Healing Works in Mewgenics

There are two types of injuries in Mewgenics:

Combat Injuries

Sustained during battles when a cat’s HP drops to zero. Combat injuries can:

• Reduce a cat’s maximum HP temporarily
• Inflict status conditions
• Lead to permanent death if the cat’s corpse is destroyed

Home Injuries

Caused by low Comfort stats in your home base. When comfort is too low:

• Cats can become injured between adventures
• Sick cats perform worse in combat
• Prolonged poor conditions can permanently affect stats

Healing Items in Mewgenics

Super Bandage

The most common healing item:

• Restores HP during or after combat
• Found in battlefield pickups and event rewards
• Limited inventory space means you can’t carry many
• Use strategically — don’t waste on minor wounds

Smelling Salts

Used specifically for reviving incapacitated cats:

• Instantly revives a downed cat
• Rare and valuable — save for critical moments
• Can be found in loot or purchased from Tracy’s shop

Ankh

A powerful revival item:

• Automatically revives the holder upon death
• One-time use per adventure
• Equip on your most important squad member
• Extremely rare — treat it as a precious resource

Cleric Class — Your Best Healing Option

The Cleric collar is the most reliable healing source in Mewgenics. Key abilities include:

Heal

• Basic healing spell that restores HP to a single target
• No item cost — can be used every turn
• Range allows healing from a safe distance

CPR

• Emergency revival ability for incapacitated cats
• Requires positioning near the fallen cat
• Life-saving in boss fights where cats frequently go down

Revive

• Stronger revival spell than CPR
• Can work from further away
• Higher success rate than CPR

Why Every Team Needs a Cleric

Without a Cleric, your only healing options are:

• Limited healing items (Super Bandages)
• Rare revival items (Smelling Salts, Ankh)
• Waiting until after the battle (which doesn’t help mid-combat)

Always bring at least one Cleric on every adventure.

How Revival Works in Mewgenics

When a cat’s HP drops to zero in combat, they become incapacitated — not immediately dead. Here’s the revival process:

1. Cat reaches 0 HP → falls to the ground
2. A timer starts counting down — this is your revival window
3. If the corpse is hit before the timer ends → the cat is permanently killed
4. To revive, use: Smelling Salts, Ankh, CPR, or Revive spell
5. If the timer expires without revival → the cat is lost

Revival Tips

• Protect the corpse — use Tanks to block enemies from reaching it
• Reposition other cats between the fallen cat and enemies
• Don’t panic — you have several turns to attempt revival
• Prioritize Cleric positioning — they need to reach the fallen cat
• Use Smelling Salts as backup if the Cleric is too far away

Preventing Injuries at Home in Mewgenics

To reduce home injuries:

• Keep Comfort high by upgrading furniture (Baby Jack NPC)
• Clean up waste regularly
• Don’t overcrowd rooms — too many cats in one room reduces comfort
• Separate aggressive cats — fights cause injuries
• Use comfort-boosting furniture prioritized in each room
