Rarity

Rarity is a system of classification in Bread Kittens.

Levels of Rarity
There are five levels of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Unique.

Common
Contrary to the name, Common is only the third most populous group, having only 24 members. Common cats can be found in every region except Malburg (although Snowrige Valley has only one). Many Common breeds are actually colors of cats, such as Tabby or Calico. No common cat is a Boss. Common is represented by the color green.

Uncommon
Uncommon is the largest group of cats, with 33 members. This is most likely due to the fact that they appear in every region. Uncommon is represented by the color blue.

Rare
Rare has 27 members and presents the first group to be truly difficult to catch. Even with only a sliver of health left, a Rare cat has only a 10% chance of capture. Rare cats appear from Cane Island to Malburg. Rare is represented by the color purple.

Very Rare
Very Rare has 19 members and appear as only bosses for three regions:Mer Delta, Verdant Range, and Amberfield. They appear from Mer Delta to Malburg. Very Rare is represented by the color red.

Unique
Unique truly lives up to its name as the rarest rarity, having only 10 members. All Unique cats aren't house cats, but rather big cats (except of course Colonel Meow). These cats prove formidable Bosses from Eastport Harbor to Malburg. They are truly rare, as even with one HP left they have only a 2% chance of capture. Unique is represented by the color orange.

Function
Rarity is an approximate measure how many cats of that rarity there are in Catlandia. It is not exact, as there are flaws in the measurement. For example, there are more Rare cats than Common cats. A more applicable function of rarity is the percent chance of capture. The higher the rarity, the harder the capture.

Bread can only be thrown at a cat when it has half health or less. The lowest capture rate is when health is at exactly half, and the highest rate is when there is only a sliver of health left.
