1-day irl= 1 moon 1-week irl =7 moons (or 5 if you prefer) 1-year irl is 365 moons (if your cat lives that long) All cats must retire at 125 moons old except for leaders If your cat suffers a permanent condition or sickness at 100, your cat is forced to retire. If they choose not to retire before 100 because of conditions, they might have to stay in the medicine den.
If deputies have kits, they have to have a temporary deputy replace them. If a leader has kits, the deputy takes care of most duties except for the Gathering. Max number of a player's cats is 5, but 3 is recommended. Elders are not required to be too active,but the elder will maybe go missing or retire.
