A LITTLE KITTY WISDOM

Game Glossary

A quick translation guide for the language of the kittyverse.

ZEN

The main resource you spend on eggs and upgrades. Your balance shows what you can spend now.

ZPS · Emanates

ZEN per second: the rate at which your kitties add ZEN directly to your balance.

APS · Accumulates

The rate at which ZEN builds up inside your egg. Claim the egg when it is ready to move that accumulated ZEN into your balance.

Pet Bonus

The starting ZEN your egg returns to after a claim. It is an amount, separate from the rate at which the egg fills.

Hold the Paw

The held interaction used to claim a ready egg. Press and hold the paw, follow the ritual indicator, then release. Your hold bonus can grow during the ritual; holding too long drains that bonus, never the ZEN already stored in the egg. This is separate from TAO rubbing.

TAO

The charges used to rub your egg for extra ZEN. Each egg you buy adds one charge, up to your current capacity. A rub spends all available charges at once. Eligible boosts can increase capacity, but a single egg purchase still adds only one charge. The TAO bar shows both charges and capacity.

Families and upgrades

Kitties belong to families. Eggs discover or level up members of the selected family. Crystal, family, and kitty upgrades improve different parts of your collection’s output.

Ascension and boons

Ascension unlocks an ascended version of a family once its requirements are met. Boons strengthen ascended output. Check the in-game requirements before planning your next leap.

Rebirth and All The ZEN

Rebirth begins a new life with a multiplier based on your accumulated progress. All The ZEN (ATZ) tracks lifetime ZEN for that progression; it is different from your spendable balance. Under the usual rules, spendable ZEN, kitties, upgrades, and boons reset, while ATZ and trophies remain. The in-game confirmation lists exactly what resets and what you keep.

Beans and Telegram Stars

Beans are the game’s event store currency. Telegram Stars can buy the bean bundles shown in the store. Availability, prices, limits, and durations are set for the current season.

Cattributes, eggplants, and the Love Den

Zen Garden kitties have color, body, pattern, and speed traits. Eggplants are the garden’s soft currency. When available, the Love Den lets players breed using other players’ listed kitties.
