Cheese

Cheese is a rare consumable that can be eaten to restore HP or applied to enemies to attract rats or other vermin, providing a unique distraction mechanic. The versatility of dairy as both nutrition and bait makes it an underrated utility item.

When used as bait, cheese can redirect rat-type or vermin enemies toward the cheesed target, creating controlled infighting or pulling dangerous enemies away from your cats. As a consumable, the HP restoration is modest but reliable, making it a decent emergency heal in tight situations. Cat characters may have special reactions to cheese given their feline nature.

Cheese is most useful in stages with rat or vermin enemies where the bait mechanic can redirect pests away from your team. As a heal, it's a reliable filler when better healing items aren't available. Keep one Cheese in reserve for encounters with mixed enemy types where the distraction mechanic can neutralize a threat without spending offensive resources.
