• Original black cat color texture with donor clothing graphics removed.
• Native game armature with the corrected shoulder, arm, elbow, and leg weights.
• Hides the underlying human head, body, hair, hands, shoes, and clothing while equipped.

Install and equip

1. Install this package through the ReSkate launcher's Thunderstore browser, or drag this ZIP onto the launcher's Mod Manager.
2. Enable Black Cat and fully restart ReSkate.
3. Open skater customization, go to Apparel → Full Body Costumes, and select TestCat / Own_TestCat.

If you already have the original local Own_TestCat mod installed, disable that copy before enabling this packaged version. Use only one copy of this costume at a time.

For manual installation, create Mods/Black_Cat/ beside Skate.exe and extract the ZIP contents there. Preserve the Win32/ folder structure.

Compatibility and texture behavior

• Prepared for Windows skate. build 25414733.
• This is the same compiled payload previously confirmed working during skating and tricks with intact limbs, the cat texture, and no duplicate human parts. Packaging does not rebuild or change it.
• This build overrides the shared Sumo color, normal, and surface textures. Other Sumo costumes can also use these replacement textures while the mod is enabled. Disable this mod and restart the game to restore the original textures.
• Other mods that edit the same Sumo assets can conflict; disable those if the cat displays another costume's texture.
• Multiplayer and different game builds have not been separately verified for this package.
• No additional Thunderstore package dependencies.

Uninstall

Unequip the costume, disable Black Cat, and restart ReSkate.
