Special Cats

Special Cats are unlocked throughout each playthrough by completing certain missions, or after meeting specific requirements. Most Special Cats need to be purchased with Cat Food, which is obtained as a Daily Bonus and can be purchased with actual currency. The purchasable cats and a few others can all have a True Form when their respective awakened stages are beaten.
