Meow Medals

Meow Medals are a feature implemented in the Version 9.0 Update. They are achievements earned by completing certain tasks, such as beating Legend Stages or earning cents during battle. Unearned Meow Medals are displayed as grayed-out question mark tokens, except for secret Meow Medals, which just appear as question marks. Secret Meow Medals' names and descriptions are displayed as "???" before they are unlocked, they are unlocked just before beating their respected criteria. The player can view their Meow Medals in the Meow Medals menu, which can be accessed from the Cat Base Menu.

Meow Medals currently serve little purpose other than bragging rights. Their only use is unlocking the last 5 lineups, each of which requires the player to have a specific amount of Medals before it can be purchased using Cat Food:

• 11th lineup - 25 Meow Medals
• 12th lineup - 50 Meow Medals
• 13th lineup - 60 Meow Medals
• 14th lineup - 70 Meow Medals
• 15th lineup - 80 Meow Medals

Trivia

General

• The text on the World of Darkness Meow Medal is the Japanese word makai ("Devil World" or "Demon World") written in upside-down katakana.
• Since the Japanese version of Empire of Cats takes place in Japan instead of the whole world, Nyanko Daisensou has different icons for the Builder of Empires and Undead Slayer Meow Medals.
  • Moreover, since the Japanese release only has one set of chapters taking place across the world, the 'The Future is Ours and ...And Stay Dead Meow Medals lack the UFOs that are present in the English Version, where they are needed to make them distinguishable from the English Empire of Cats Medals.
• Prior to the addition of Legend Helpers in the Version 10.4 Update, May I Assist You?'s description was, "Recruit a top-class Gamatoto helper."
• Prior to the reworking of difficulty systems in the Version 10.7 Update, the I Am Legend Meow Medals' descriptions were, "Clear all # ★ Stories of Legend maps."

References

• The I Am Legend Meow Medals reference the 1954 post-apocalypse novel of the same name.
• Charon's Crossing is a reference to Greek mythology, in which Charon is the ferryman of the underworld.
• Who You Gonna Call? is a reference to Ghostbusters.
• Buns of Steel is a reference to a 90s fitness show of the same name.

Errors

• The Builder of Empires, The Future is Ours and Cosmos Conquistador Medals' descriptions say Gold Treasures where they should say Superior Treasures.
• The Big Z's description says Daboo of the Dead instead of Dead on Debut.
• Another Year's description refers to Happy New Year? as Happy New Year...?.
• The "be" in Bears be Bare is capitalized in Unbearable's description.
• Vox Deus is grammatically incorrect. It should be written Vox Dei, meaning voice of god, in Latin, or Vox Deorum, meaning voice of gods.
• Making Money, Making Money 2, Nouveau Riche, Nouveau Riche 2, One Percenter and One Percenter 2 are ironically unlocked by spending cents, not earning them.
