| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_2482df9c | comment |
Companion Cube: Subverted, the grey square initially appears to be one, as the cat treats it as a friend even though it appears to not be alive. However, the Companion level pack reveals that the square has a personality and emotions. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: The cat starts off fairly positive in both games, but gradually becomes more desperate to either escape the the maze in ALITS, starting to despair when she realizes the rooms are an endless loop, and there is no exit, then breaks completely once she loses all of her abilities, believing herself to be worthless. In ABP, she doesn't get it much better, with all of her friends leaving her in the later worlds, leaving her broken and most likely somewhat unhinged as she decides to stay and create the worlds in ALITS and replay them forever. | |

Bookends: "The cat had been going through these maze like rooms for what felt like forever, and they just seemed to be continuing." This is the first line of the game and the last thing the cat/Lumi says in reset mode, which occurs after the main game. | |

One Person, One Power: Lumi the cat is now joined by three identical but different-colored cats (green, blue, and red), and each cat (including Lumi) can do something that the other three can't. | |

Bottomless Pit: These appear in World 9 only, and send the cat across the Despair Event Horizon because this means there is no world outside of the maze and that she can never escape. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: A possible interpretation of the ending, where a spiked ceiling suddenly appears and crushes the cat, is that the cat, after realizing that her owner will never let her escape, commits suicide. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_735b4101 | comment |
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Orange things hurt the cat. This is lampshaded when the cat knows not to touch the orange liquid, simply because it's orange. The grey square can touch orange things, but is hurt by purple things. | |

Flight | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_9e0b9695 | comment |
Flight: The cat gets this power in the second level and it allows her to float, but eventually reduces her horizontal speed to zero once she loses her momentum. However, this can be combated by floating, dropping, the floating again in midair, allowing the cat to fly horizontally. | |

And I Must Scream: The square says that bouncy orange pads cause it physical pain, and that other objects on the pads feel the same pain. Unlike the square, these can't move and also never die, so they're going to spend all eternity is constant agony. | |

De-power | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_ac4c677f | comment |
De-power: Done in the first room of every world, starting with World 7. At that point, you have three abilities as well as basic movement controls, which are in rows of four, so there's a nice little slot at the bottom of the screen which a new power could fit into. However, instead of giving the cat a new power, this time your power to float, by far the most useful of all your abilities, is taken away. | |

Five Stages of Grief | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_c7e7529c | comment |
Five Stages of Grief: The cat goes through these (except for bargaining) when she loses the square. Initially, she refuses to accept it, then she becomes angry at the square for being secretive, then she forgives it and becomes sad when she realizes that it helped her and asked for nothing in return, then finally accepts that she has to live without the square. | |

Respawn Point | |
| Cats Are Liquid (Video Game) / int_edb7b3ad | comment |
Respawn Point: The cat comes back to life and the room is reset after she dies. It's implied that this is due to Lumi/the cat being unable to cope with death, and creating a mental world where Death is Cheap. This is subverted at the end of the main story, where the cat dies, but never respawns. | |
