• Essence manifests as a living shape, sich as a bird, fish, or worm. You may to an extent invent a creature, but it should not be a seperate character or being from the CCCat
• Creature can animate and move
• Appears as though the creature is held within a glass orb

• Pieces must remain in proximity, and are bound by essence floating in the center
• Does not need to follow living color rules

• True Eyes must still remain distinct
• Must cover a large degree of the body or the entirety of the body
• There is no limit to the number of eyes
• If clusters are separate, they must still contain a minimum of 3 eyes

• Can be a cube, ring, cylinder, rectangle, or other simple shape
• Must have a pupil and be readable as an eye

• Cannot be overly complex

• Eyes do not need to look visually similar, and are separate eyes that exist simultaneously.
• ALL eyes may be effected by a single trait [Example: Patterned Eye is only needed once to count across all eyes]

• CCCATS - A CCCat’s eye must be above 43% saturation and value to be considered a living eye. Please provide a flat and unshaded eye reference when submitting a MYO or Redesign (MYO and Redesign Guide)

• Entire eye is replaced by an object that stands in place of and functions like an eye naturally would
• Should retain standard eye shape

Old-gen CCCats and CCCat Color ranges

Due to the construction of the lore, some CCCats were made with grayscale, pastel, or out-of-range colors on their tongues and eyes. In lore this means that the CCCat is dead, dying, or revived and without a lore reasoning is considered "Old Gen." You will be allowed to keep the tongue/eye the same to keep the dead colors through subsequent redesigns (though we will ask that the eye and tongue remain similar in theme to avoid mimicking other traits, such as a change from a yellow and white striped tongue to a pure black tongue.) and give them personal lore to explain the colors.

• "Old-Gen" traits cannot be swapped out for other traits.
• Designs will only be granted the “Old-Gen” label if the CCCat has a dead eye or tongue and falls between 1 - 516 for official designs and 1 - 250 for MYO Designs If you have proof of a design outside of this range that was approved December 31, 2017, this is also eligible for Old-Gen if the colors fall out of range.
• Living range of colors is considered to be any color above 43% Saturation and Value on a standard HSB Scale.
• If your CCCat is newer than the above numbers but has a tongue or eye below living range, You may keep the colors only if the tongue or eye does not change at all in subsequent redesigns. Any changes of the tongue and eye, including but not limited to color and markings, will require colors to be brought into the living range. These designs will not be eligible for dead tongue or old-gen classification due to the timing they were created.
