Stamina falling
As time goes by wildcats lose its stamina, become hungry and feel the need to hunt. Younger cats lose its stamina slowly, and older ones lose it faster. Winter also makes stamina to falls faster because of fat being burned against the cold.

Water falling
As well as stamina, cats lose also its water. Water falls slowly when cats are next to fresh water, and also when they eat (they take quite water from blood and fat). Hot season (summer) is the worst because water falls very fast, and fresh water sources are fewer.

Aging
Aging acts in several ways in a wildcat. In general, they always become clever when older. Furthermore, young cats become stronger (max stamina rise up) until the age of 7-8. Older cats become weaker when aging.

Seasons
Winter makes wildcats to waste more stamina, there's also less preys to hunt, so it's a very hard season, when most of the older cats dies.
Winter is also the season for mating, because of that there's lots of fights between males, being another cause to suffer and die in the cold season.
Summer can be hard in hot places, beacuse of drought. But there's quite plenty of food.
