How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a cat breed” — not generic advice.
On animal prompts, cuteness is common — specificity is rare.
Lead with Sphynx. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Maine Coon works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
House cat feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Alley cat is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
Siamese and Scottish Fold are the honest middle of this prompt — answers most players know but few type first. If your instinct answer feels too easy, reach for this layer instead of the obvious.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Ragdoll, Persian, Maine Coon. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
