Keep reading, and we’ll walk you through the basics of assigning your cats to missions and how to make your concierge service its very best.

What Are Cat Concierge Stats?
Did you see the term “Cat Concierge Stats” and do a double-take? Don’t worry, so did we. Fortunately, Cat Concierge stats are simply thestats of the cats in your roster. They mirror the game’s Primary Stats:Strength,Dexterity,Charm, andIntellect.
The only way to raise your Cat Concierge Stats is by collecting cats. So, if you lack stats for a particular mission, you have more feline-hunting to do.
