Plan your next Looking For Cats In a Badly Drawn City session
Our independent guide helps you sharpen observation skills and make the most of the city’s quirky art while hunting cats. By focusing on visual cues, audio hints, and systematic area coverage, you can efficiently track progress without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Contrast Scanning
Compare sections of the skyline with dense jagged lines against smoother curved outlines. Note where silhouettes become more visible, then prioritize those zones for a quicker find rate.
- Take time to scan each building façade before moving on.
- Use the in‑game count to gauge which areas still need attention.
02 / THE GUIDE
Audio Cue Mapping
Play a short session listening only for magical purrs. Mark each location where a sound occurs, then revisit those spots visually to confirm cat presence.
- Contrast between lines can guide your eye toward potential silhouettes.
- Notice how curved outlines often frame cat shapes.

03 / THE GUIDE
Silhouette Pattern Recognition
Observe the shape of cats that turn their backs versus those facing forward. Recognizing these patterns helps you spot hidden backsides that might otherwise be missed.
- Pay attention to audio cues for nearby cats.
- Look for tail flickers in the sky as a visual hint.
04 / THE GUIDE
Area‑by‑Area Tally
Divide the city into logical blocks—rooftops, windows, parks, bridges, clouds—and record how many cats you find in each. This systematic tally highlights under‑explored zones.
- Check your Steam profile for unlocked achievement badges.
- Share the game with family members to compare progress.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievement Cross‑Check
After each play session, review your Steam achievement list to see which milestones you’ve earned. Use any missing achievements as a guide for where to focus next.
- Play in short sessions to avoid fatigue.
- Enjoy the freedom to pause and resume whenever you like.
