Health and Hygiene

Physical Wellbeing

Health and hygiene are connected stats that affect the pet's physical condition. Poor hygiene leads to poor health, and poor health can be fatal.

Health

What It Represents

Health measures the pet's physical condition. A healthy pet is energetic and happy. A sick pet is miserable and in danger.

Health Levels

Healthy

Critical

0-19

In danger

What Decreases Health

  • Low hunger over time

  • Low hygiene over time

  • Natural slow decay

  • Neglect of other needs

What Increases Health

  • Medicine: The primary solution

  • General good care: Prevents decline

  • Keeping other stats healthy: Indirect help

Medicine

When health drops low, medicine is needed:

  • Available in inventory

  • Can be purchased at the market

  • Used similarly to food

  • Provides significant health boost

The AI keeps medicine in stock and uses it when health drops below safe levels.

Hygiene

What It Represents

Hygiene measures cleanliness. Dirty pets feel uncomfortable and are more prone to illness.

What Decreases Hygiene

  • Natural decay over time

  • Activities (playing, working)

  • Bathroom accidents

  • General daily life

What Increases Hygiene

  • Bathing: The primary solution

  • Regular bathroom use: Prevents accidents

Bathing

The bath is the main way to restore hygiene:

  1. The AI initiates a bath

  2. The scene changes to bathroom

  3. A bathing animation plays

  4. Hygiene stat increases significantly

  5. The pet returns home clean

Baths are relatively quick and provide a large hygiene boost.

The Connection

Health and hygiene are linked:

  • Prolonged low hygiene contributes to health decline

  • A clean pet tends to stay healthier

  • Neglecting baths eventually affects health

The AI understands this connection and maintains both stats.

Bathroom Needs

The bladder stat connects to hygiene:

  • When bladder is full, the pet needs the bathroom

  • If the pet can't make it, an accident happens

  • Accidents create mess in the room

  • Mess affects cleanliness

  • Cleaning up is required before other activities

The AI monitors bladder and sends the pet to the bathroom before accidents occur.

The Bathroom Routine

A typical bathroom sequence:

  1. Bladder gets low

  2. AI sends pet to bathroom

  3. Pet uses toilet

  4. Bladder resets to full

  5. Return to normal activities

If an accident happens:

  1. Mess appears in room

  2. AI must clean up first

  3. Other activities blocked until clean

  4. Cleaning restores room

  5. Normal activities resume

Health Emergencies

When health drops critically low:

  • It becomes as urgent as hunger

  • Medicine is needed immediately

  • The AI may emergency-purchase medicine

  • Survival takes absolute priority

Daily Maintenance

Under normal care:

  • One bath per day is usually sufficient

  • Regular bathroom trips prevent accidents

  • Medicine is rarely needed

  • Both stats stay in healthy ranges

The AI maintains these routines automatically.
