Raise A Catboy TRADING!!! — November 15–20, 2026

TRADING!!! is the headline social feature for Raise A Catboy in mid-November 2026. Firstlight Studio scheduled the window for November 15–20, 2026, overlapping the end of the Big Update pack drop. If you have been hatching only for café $/s, this is the moment when Secret, Super Secret, and Divine Catboys stop being “flex pets” and start being negotiation chips—provided you prepared your Index and did not sell them for a night of Common steals.

Raise A Catboy (Place ID 129852792970565, Universe 10770707307) launched October 13, 2026 as a free-to-play Simulation / Tycoon with eight players per server. Until trading ships, value is mostly personal income and collection pride. During November 15–20, value becomes peer-to-peer. This page separates confirmed schedule facts from still-unknown system details, then gives a prep plan that works even if the final trade UI surprises you.

Confirmed: dates and framing

• Event name styling in community posts: TRADING!!!
• Window: November 15–20, 2026
• Overlap: Big Update content (new pack / more Catboys) runs November 14–16, so the first trading days may include brand-new unindexed pets
• Game identity: Raise A Catboy by Firstlight Studio—not Own a Catboy Cafe, Spin a Catboy, or Kat Boiz

If a Discord screenshot shows trading in a different café tycoon, ignore it. Wrong-game values will wreck your offers.

Unknown until you see the live UI

Be honest about gaps so you do not plan on fantasy rules:

• Exact trade tax, cooldown, or daily limit (if any)
• Whether eggs, placed café pets, or only inventoried Catboys can move
• Whether Robux gamepasses transfer (almost certainly not—assume 2x Cash, 2x Egg Hatch, and Hatch All stay account-bound)
• Rarity whitelist: some tycoons block Secret+ at launch, then open later
• Cross-server trading vs same-server only
• How Index completion interacts with traded pets

When the event opens, rejoin once, open the new trade button, and test a junk Common-for-Common swap on an alt before moving anything you care about. Then return to this page’s mental model: hold scarcity, avoid panic underpays, and document offers.

Why rarities matter more once trading exists

Steal prices already signal scarcity pressure: Common 5, Rare 9, Epic 19, Legendary 39, Mythic 79, Relic 129, Exotic 199, Ascendant 299, Secret 499, Super Secret 799, Divine 1299. Skip costs for Mythic+ (15 / 29 / 49 / 79) show how expensive it is to force high rolls. In a trade economy, pets that were painful to steal become the ones people overpay cash or mid-tier bundles to obtain.

Prep implication: stop treating Super Secret and Divine as “sell for upgrade money” the week before November 15. Café income should come from volume hatching and Speed unlocks, not from liquidating your future trade bait.

Prep checklist (start before November 15)

1. Finish Index progress on everything you can. Collectors pay more for pets that close gaps.
2. Separate mains and script alts. Keep trade inventory on a clean main; keep Auto Steal on disposable accounts. A ban mid-event is brutal.
3. Bank cash the legitimate way. Raise $/s, spin the Cat Wheel, clear the Speed gates you need (Sakura Park 10 through Celestial Cat Palace 1B) so you can still farm during the event.
4. Hold Robux decisions. If you buy 2x Egg Hatch (149 R$) or Hatch All (80 R$), do it to create trade supply—not because a stranger promised a “trust trade.”
5. Screenshot your inventory before listing. Helps if a trade glitches or a scammer gaslights you about what was offered.
6. Learn escape routes again. New pack Catboys from the Big Update may shift mid-tier values overnight; you want to farm them safely without scripts if your main is exposed.
7. Ignore Cafe/Spin “value lists.” Those economies are unrelated.

How to trade without getting scammed

• Only use the official in-game trade UI once it appears. No going first on Discord, no “middleman” who needs your password, no off-platform Robux deals.
• Confirm both sides’ pets in the trade window before accept.
• Beware of name-spoof pets after the Big Update—new pack lookalikes may confuse quick glances.
• Do not download a “trade unlocker” executor package. Trading is a studio feature; any third-party unlocker is malware theater.
• If someone demands you prove ownership by trading to their “holding alt” first, decline.

Scripts remain a separate risk: the Scripts Hub loadstrings can still ban you even while trading is “legal” inside the place. Farming supply on an alt and trading on a main is the sane split.

During the November 15–16 overlap

Expect chaos. Players will undervalue brand-new Big Update Catboys for the first hours, then overcorrect. If you hatch something fresh from the new pack, check Index rarity and café income before accepting the first lowball. Conversely, do not dump yesterday’s Relic just because a shiny new Exotic exists—Speed gates and steal prices still define long-term grind pain.

Also watch Codes. Trading launches sometimes ship with promo strings; as of early November 2026 none are active, but that can change when the window opens.

After November 20

Assume the temporary event framing means trading could close, restrict, or convert into a permanent system. Before the window ends:

• Complete high-priority swaps
• Avoid last-hour panic accepts
• Decide whether leftover eggs should be hatched for $/s again

Then check the Updates Hub for follow-up notes if Firstlight extends or reworks trading.

Trading rewards players who prepared quietly: Index filled, rares held, main unscripted, and expectations grounded in what the live UI actually allows—not in rumor spreadsheets from other catboy games.
