White Cat Patient Guide
A white cat patient common in early shifts. One of the baseline patients every doctor should memorize — anomalies frequently try to mimic this one. This page covers how to verify White Cat before treatment, which anomalies imitate it, and the mistakes that get players killed on this baseline.
Appearance
Pure white cat with bright eyes, seated upright in the waiting area.
How to handle White Cat
Standard treatment flow. Since white cat anomalies are common, always run the full 4-layer check.
How to identify White Cat
Work these in order. Each one is written for this specific patient rather than for the roster as a whole, because the feature that catches a fake White Cat is not the feature that catches a fake somewhere else.
| Check | What normal looks like | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|
| Body colour | Pure white, with no grey patches or dark markings | White gives the highest contrast of any baseline, which works in your favour: dark anomalies on a white patient show up earlier than on any other colour. |
| Eyes | Bright, matched, with visible pupils and no blacking | Blacked-out eyes and black bars across the head are the highest-contrast tells in the game, and white fur is where they read most clearly. This is the check this patient is best suited to catch. |
| Posture | Seated upright, with an even, still outline | A seated posture produces a clean silhouette, which makes hunched posture and unnatural bodies easier to spot than on a moving or curled-up patient. |
| Face between window and camera | The same facial proportions in both views | White fur maximises the visible contrast of any facial change, so this patient rewards a strict window-versus-camera comparison. |
| Clipboard photo | Photo shows a white cat with a matching face and unmarked fur | Any dark marking or facial change is unusually easy to spot in a photo of a white patient, making the photo a high-yield layer here. |
| Camera feed | A white cat of normal proportions, with every limb visible against the fur | Extra appendages and elongated limbs are physically easier to see on a white patient, so the camera check costs less time here. |
Anomalies that imitate White Cat
Five confirmed anomalies can present in a way that overlaps with this baseline. The tell column is the specific comparison to make, not a general warning.
Black Eyes
Black reads at maximum contrast against white fur. Check the camera before treatment and compare eye darkness with the rest of the face.
Void / Black (CCTV)
A solid black silhouette where a white patient should be is the most obvious CCTV mismatch in the game. Trust the feed and reject.
Mimic
This is the S-tier risk on this baseline. A Mimic form is visible on camera while the window and photo look normal, so the camera layer is what catches it.
Three Eyes
Count the eyes at the window. Extra eyes are easier to catch on a white face than on any other patient colour.
Hollow Face
Dark hollow eyes, sunken features, and a hunched posture. All three read strongly against white fur.
Treatment path for a normal White Cat
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| Run all four layers, every time | This is the baseline the game most often imitates, so the shortcut checks that are safe elsewhere are not safe here. |
| Check the camera even when the window looks perfect | Mimic is a camera-layer anomaly on this baseline. A clean window view and a clean photo are both compatible with a Mimic on the feed. |
| Count eyes and check eye darkness explicitly | Two of this patient's highest-value checks target the eyes, and white fur makes both of them fast. |
| Seated-upright posture as a proportion reference | Use the clean seated silhouette to judge limb count and body proportions before admitting the patient. |
Mistakes that cost runs on White Cat
- Treating White Cat as a beginner patient and running the short version of the checks. It is the most-imitating baseline on the site.
- Clearing the patient on the visual and photo layers without checking the camera, which is where Mimic appears.
- Assuming a clean photo means a clean patient. The photo cannot show a Mimic form that appears only on the feed.
- Skipping the eye count because the face looks correct overall.
When you meet White Cat
White Cat is common in early shifts, which is what makes it dangerous: it becomes familiar, and familiarity is what erodes check discipline. Its real value to a new player is as a training patient — because white fur maximises the contrast of almost every tell, it is the easiest patient to learn the four-layer routine on, and the routine is what keeps you safe later.
What we verified
- Recorded as one of the baseline patients every doctor should memorise, with an explicit warning that anomalies frequently imitate it.
- The patient record instructs players to always run the full four-layer check rather than a subset.
- Cross-checked against all 18 confirmed anomalies: five imitators are plausible here and include the S-tier Mimic.
This baseline was last re-checked against the live game on September 16, 2026. Last verified 35 days ago — re-check pending.
White Cat FAQ
Why do anomalies imitate White Cat so often?
It is one of the most common early-shift patients, so a wrong patient is less likely to be noticed than a wrong rare arrival. The practical consequence is that White Cat should be checked as strictly as the rarest patient on the roster, not as a beginner shortcut.
Can I skip the camera check if the window view and photo both look correct?
No. Mimic is available as a lookalike on this baseline and appears only on the camera feed. Both the window and the photo can look entirely normal while the feed shows a Mimic form.
What are the two fastest checks on White Cat?
Eye count and eye darkness. White fur gives dark features maximum contrast, so extra eyes and blacked-out eyes stand out faster here than on any other patient in the roster.
Is the seated-upright posture useful for anything?
Yes. A seated patient produces a clean, still outline, which makes limb count and body proportion checks more reliable than on a curled or moving patient.
What should I do if I already admitted White Cat and then noticed a problem?
Stop the treatment flow and re-run the camera check immediately. Do not treat further, and do not tase the patient as a test — use the camera feed, which is the layer that detects the threats this baseline attracts.
