Dont Wake the Kitty Best Income Kitties on Your Plot
Who prints cash after upgrades, and which cute pads are wasting a slot.
Income is why you woke a giant. Dont Wake the Kitty is a tycoon wearing a stealth costume: pads print money, upgrade signs multiply it, and rarity decides the base tick. This page is the practical tier list for “what do I tap after a steal.”
Numbers move with patches. Use pad signs as the source of truth. Our ranks are the pattern players see across Commons, Exclusives, and mythic boards.
The upgrade rule that beats rarity FOMO
A level-up Legendary usually beats a level-1 Mythic that you are too scared to lock. Upgrade signs sit on the plot — click the sign in front of a kitty, spend cash, watch the tick jump. MapleBear-style sessions show Santa-like earners exploding after two taps while a neglected Rare sits pretty and poor.
Order of spending:
- Speed if giants still eat your carries (see controls and escape)
- The single highest tick on your plot
- A new pad slot if you are holding a steal with nowhere to park
- Cosmetics never
The upgrade planner turns that into a checklist. This page tells you who deserves the cash.
Who to feed
Feed first: Mythic Evil Kitty, Secrets, Exclusive Play Time / Huggy Kitty, Rainbow Hello Kitty, Legendary Angel, holiday heavy-hitters (Santa-style pads). If two S-tiers share the plot, feed the one with the higher sign number after one upgrade test. Some exclusives look rare and tick like Epics — believe the sign.
Feed second: Epic themed Hello Kitties (Gamer, Angel if not legendary, Zombie, Nerd, Fairy). They are stable A/B income and less raid-magnetic than a glowing Secret on the front step.
Stop feeding: Duplicate Commons, Uncommon Sanrio friends you already indexed, any kitty you plan to replace in the next lap. Cash in a Common upgrade is cash you cannot put on an Epic.
Vendor versus trophy
Vendoring in this genre usually means replacing the pad occupant, not a separate sell NPC. If the game gives a sell shop, use it only on duplicates. Keep one of each Index tick — the secrets and exclusives page explains why a “useless” Exclusive can still be the only copy on the server.
Front pads should be income. Back and upstairs pads should be trophies and bait. Raiders check the door first. Put the Mythic where a grappler user has to commit.
Event math
During Admin Abuse, spawn tables skew lucky. Your plot may suddenly hold three Legendaries. That is the moment to upgrade, not to keep stealing Commons because the habit is comfy. When the event ends, those Legendaries are your economy. Notes sit on Admin Abuse.
If a code ever grants a cash lump (see codes), dump it into the current best tick, not into a new Common you just stole for dopamine.
Steal heat versus tick
The best income kitty is also the best raid target. A maxed Exclusive with no lock is not your kitty; it is a timer. Budget a lock from the extra ticks it generates. If you refuse to spend Robux, play on less populated hours or hide the pad. Five-player servers still empty out late.
Quick decision table
| You are holding | Plot is | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Empty pads | Place, do not upgrade much |
| Epic | Has Commons | Replace a Common, upgrade Epic |
| Legendary | Full Epics | Replace lowest Epic tick |
| Mythic / Secret | Anything | Place, lock, upgrade first |
| Duplicate Common | Full | Drop it, go back out |

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for stealth runs, steals, and base defense.
Should I upgrade Commons in Dont Wake the Kitty?
Only to bootstrap an empty plot. Once an Epic or better is down, starve the Commons and feed the high tick.
Why is my Exclusive earning less than a Legendary?
Exclusive is a collector tag. Trust the pad sign. Some exclusives are trophies, not S-tier printers.
Do I upgrade before or after locking?
Place, lock if the kitty is raid bait, then upgrade. An unlocked upgraded Mythic is an advertisement.
Where is the upgrade button?
On the plot sign in front of the kitty. Click it, spend cash, watch the income number change.
