Deep Cut

Deep Cut inflicts permanent Bleed 1 on your cat, meaning the cat bleeds at the start of every battle and takes ticking damage each turn until the Bleed wears off or is cleansed. Bleed 1 is a minor but persistent damage-over-time effect that chips away at the cat's HP over the course of each fight. The bleeding starts automatically and cannot be prevented.

Deep Cut is heritable and belongs to the injury category of disorders. It can pass from parent to kitten through breeding or be acquired through events and the Organ Grinder's Disorder Syringe. The Bleed 1 is a low-level bleed that ticks down quickly, typically clearing within a few turns. However, if other bleed sources stack on top of it, the combined bleeding can become more dangerous.

Deep Cut is a minor negative disorder. The Bleed 1 is low enough to be negligible for most cats with reasonable Constitution, but it still deals some HP damage each battle that accumulates over a long adventure. Debuff cleansing can remove the Bleed immediately. Replace Deep Cut when possible, but it is not urgent since the damage is minimal. It is one of the least impactful disorders in the game.
