Rainbow Obby Cat Skins and Aura: Tabby, Black, Lady, Calico

Cat mode in Rainbow Obby has no unlock tree or trail system. What you can change is how your cat looks, and there is a small score called Aura that tracks how often you win slap fights with other players. Both are explained below, based on the Cat mode files in the copy on this site.

The four cat skins

The item list for Cat mode names four skins:

Skin	How to get it here
Tabby	The default cat. Its pad is marked free, so you can switch back to it at any time.
Black	Two pads in the house, each priced at one ad.
Lady	Two pads, priced at one ad.
Calico	One pad, priced at one ad.

Skin pads work like the other item pads. Stand on one until the ring fills. The skin goes into an inventory slot, and selecting that slot dresses your cat in it. If you pick the skin you are already wearing, the game says "You are already using this skin." Skins are cosmetic. The scripts give them no effect on speed, damage or health. Your choice is saved in the browser, so the same cat appears next time.

What Aura is

Aura is a number shown on your screen that goes up when you slap another player's cat. A successful slap does three things:

• The other cat is knocked into a roll in the direction you hit it.
• Your screen briefly changes colour and shows "Sigma. (+1 Aura)". The player you hit sees "Noob."
• Both cats freeze in place for about 3 seconds while the effect plays, and the item bar is hidden during that time.

If a player slaps you and you slap that same player back, the message reads "REVENGE" instead. Aura is stored in your browser and sent to the server when you join, so it carries over between visits on the same device. The game also has a reset that sets it back to zero.

Slapping well

• The slap reaches a short distance in front of your cat. Face the other player before you click. The camera direction does not count, only the cat's body.
• Your slap cooldown is shorter at higher levels, so a level 15 cat can usually hit twice before a new player can answer.
• A cat with an active shield is not knocked over. Your slap bounces you back and uses one of its shield points.
• Slapping is only allowed in the game itself. In menus the game says "You can only hit in-game."

Playing with friends

To meet friends rather than strangers, create a private room from the in-game menu. The game copies a link and says "Copied the URL, now share with your friends!" A friend who opens that link, or types the room code, joins the same house. If the room is full or the code is wrong, the game says "Failed to join... Room is full or Id invalid". Skins and Aura belong to your browser, not the room, so you keep them in any room you join.
