How Prisms Work

Prisms have a chance to boost the cat type you caught to the next rarity type. For example, if you caught a Fine cat, it can be boosted to a Nice cat, Nice cat to Good cat, Good cat to Rare cat, etc when a prism gets activated. Prisms also have the ability to boost the catching of others, but you will have a higher chance of your catch being upgraded, while you can also check the percentage rate of the prism's boost chance. If you have the Bright Catcher Catnip perk, the prism will boost by 2 rarities instead.

The server prism boost chance can be calculated like this:

0.06\ln(2 \cdot \text{total prism count} + 1)

The user prism boost chance can be calculated like this:

\text{server boost chance} + 0.05\ln(2 \cdot \text{owned prism count} + 1)

Both the server boost chance and the user boost chance are displayed as a percentage rounded to 3 decimal places.

Value

Since prisms are crafted from one of every cat type, their value is the sum of every cat type, which is equal to about 6271.383. The exact value can be expressed as ^{5,553,310,451}/_885,500 or 6271^339,951/_885,500.

Limitations

There can be only 520 prisms in each server. This is because the prism naming, in which "Twenty" is the highest number which is written as a word in prism names, and "Zulu" is the last word. Therefore, a server is only able to have 20 numbers * 26 words = 520 prisms.

Trading

Prisms are tradeable. By using the command /trade, selecting "Prisms" from the dropdown, and entering the prism name, the prism you chose gets added to the trade.

Trivia

• Prisms were added to Cat Bot on 4th November 2024, but the idea appeared on 14th September 2024.
• The old Cataine boost was the same as the prism boost but it got changed from boosting cat type to doubling the caught cats.
• The prisms are named after the NATO phonetic alphabet, but because of the updated server prism limit of 520 prisms, after Zulu it goes back to Alpha Two, then to Bravo Two, and so on until Zulu Twenty.
• Prisms can't disappear unless the commands /nuke or /reset are used.
• If the prism boosts a natural cat beyond an eGirl, it fails. You will still get the original cat and Cat Bot will start a 10/20 minute long Cat Rain depending on how beyond it is. If the prism fails during a Cat Rain, the rain will be extended by 10/20 minutes.

• On 11th December 2024, the Prism Crafting requirement of having Cattlepass Level 30 was removed due to the Cattlepass overhaul.
• If a force-spawned eGirl is boosted, it will display the rain messages but will not start/prolong a rain.
• Prisms used to have a limit of 5 per person with 5% per owned prism and 25 per server (which also caused the Zulu name to not exist) with 1% per unowned prism before March 31, 2025, which also changed other stuff.
• Continuing from above, there used to be a bug which allowed people to craft 2 prisms at once, resulting in people being able to have 6 or more prisms. It got patched afterwards.
• However, as of The Prism Update of 31st March 2025, people can now craft more than 5 prisms.
• There used to be a bug where a double-boosted Ultimate starts a 20m rain like a double-boosted eGirl intentionally would.
• Prisms used to be configurable. Once you acquired a prism, you could run the /prism button, press the "Configure" button, write the name of the prism that you wanted to configure. A menu would appear. You could press the "Edit" button, and then write the name of the cat that you wanted to toggle. Disabling the boost would prevent the prism from boosting that cat types.
