# Pet Stats & Needs
> Understanding the core attributes and needs of your GOCHI pet
## Core Attributes
Every GOCHI pet has four primary attributes that determine its overall wellbeing and earning potential:
How well-fed your pet is
**Decay Rate:** -30% per hour
Your pet's contentment level
**Decay Rate:** -25% per hour
How clean your pet is
**Decay Rate:** -20% per hour
Your pet's activity level
**Decay Rate:** -15% per hour
## Attribute Decay
Your pet's attributes naturally decay over time, requiring regular care to maintain optimal levels.
Each attribute decreases at its own rate when left unattended:
```javascript theme={null}
const decayRates = {
hunger: 0.3, // 30% per hour
happiness: 0.25, // 25% per hour
cleanliness: 0.2, // 20% per hour
energy: 0.15 // 15% per hour
};
```
This decay system requires 8-10 interactions within a 10-hour active period to maintain optimal pet health.
## Critical Thresholds
When attributes fall below certain levels, your pet experiences negative effects that impact earnings:
| Threshold | Time Without Care | Effect on Earnings |
| --------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Hungry | \~3.5 hours | -75% earning rate |
| Severely Hungry | \~4.25 hours | -95% earning rate |
| Death | 8-10 hours | No earnings, requires revival |
