Japanese guides: Neko Atsume walkthrough / How to play Neko Atsume (The original copies of the walkthroughs before the English version came out. Will be updated alongside the English version if you wanted to stick with the Japanese version. Please check these posts if you prefer playing the Japanese version.)
11.2.2015: Starting from today, I’m going to update the FAQ and the walkthrough to match the English version. I’ve kept copies of the original FAQ and walkthrough (linked above) in case you’re used to the cats’ Japanese names (like I am) or in case you are more comfortable using the Japanese version. There are a few differences in the translation (most likely regional differences), so I’ll update the Japanese versions of the guides alongside the English version. Updating to match the English version will take a little time, so please excuse the mess!
10.30.2015 – There’s an English version now!
Thank you Rebekah for helping me out sooooo much with so many screencaps!
I’m sorry the formatting for the comments kind of sucks on WordPress… I tend to reply to comments from the WP app, so I’m sorry if it looks confusing as to whom I’m replying to. You can ask me questions on twitter as well (@dolceconaffetto)

Hachiware: In this case, it describes a cat’s fur pattern that’s the same as the hachiware shark
Taikan kyohou shugi: A metaphor that means “a muscle-headed bully,” or a type of bully who doesn’t stand a chance against a smart opponent. It’s a military tactic that roughly means “the policy of big ships and guns” (the bigger, the better) but became a negative metaphor after WWII.

Reblogged this on Fez Sez and commented:
great info about the cats in the Neko Atsume game.
Thanks for the info!
Btw what is this meaning? http://imgur.com/MCSRnJh
Hi! I explained it in the other FAQ post (https://welcometowonderland.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/how-to-play-neko-atsume/), but it’s just a link to view an ad for another app/game! It says, “Would you like to view the flyer Mike-san is holding?”
Thank you so much~ ♥️

Hi! Are you going to update this entry with more screencaps of cats and information about treasures? My friends & I who play Neko Atsume love your blog.
I will, but I either haven’t had time lately or haven’t gotten the treasures or cats yet. I’ll update it as soon as I can.
Hi great site! Just wanted to point out that the treasure from tobimike-San should be a donguri instead of the flower-patterned collar.
Thanks so much for telling me! I’ll fix it as soon as I get to a computer!
thank you for this~ ^_^
attack strength ??? what am I missing here ?
If you click on a cat’s profile, “せんとうりょく” is “attack strength.” It’s not too important to a game, but just know that a cat with a low attack strength might not stay very long because there’s a chance a stronger cat who wants to play with the same toy will overpower it.
Oh wait… I just searched this page for “dice,” and I see that’s a treasure 😀 Yay, my first treasure!
I have screenshots for Amesho-san, Osamurai-san and Yamaneko-san if you want them!
Yes please, that would be great!! You can link them here if you want or on Twitter! My Twitter is @dolceconaffetto
thank you so much for this guide!! i just want to add that i got Osamurai-san on the normal sakura pillow, with the wooden log not even purchased
Thank you so much for this!! I’ll edit the guide once I get to a computer! ;w;
This is crazily elaborate, thank you so much for the effort put into it!!! 🙂
I just started to play the game and your blog has been really helpful! But I’m just wondering what I need to reach (amount of sardines, toys, cats etc) to be able to unlock a new part of the house?
It’s 180 gold sardines, and it’s listed under “shopping!”
I also got Maromayu-san and Nabeneko-san!! 😀
http://imgur.com/a/Q0JL5
Thank you sooooo much! I’ll update this post once exams are done! I really appreciate this hehe ;w;
Is it okay if I use your screencaps and give you credit?
Heya, i actually managed to get some of the kitties which you didn’t manage to screenshot in your post! Thought I’ll share it with ya, please feel free to use them in your post 🙂
http://imgur.com/a/72pI3
I even got the cream-san BUT I’M SO BUMMED I MISSED THE KITTY WHEN IT ARRIVED 😦 Now I’m praying hard to get her again. Good luck for your exams and your results!
Thank you for this! I was lucky enough to get Cream-san my first day. I will send you the pic on twitter.
Sorry for the late reply, but I got your tweet! I’ve been so bogged down with school that I haven’t had a chance to do anything lately, but I’ll update this post soon. Thanks soooo much!!
Did you see the posts on twitter? Also, nekomata-san showed up on the kotatsu!!
I did, thank you!! I haven’t had a chance to sit down and update this post yet, but hopefully soon! Thank you again for the screencaps! Also for the nekomata bit, I didn’t know it could show up on the kotatsu!
Osamurai-san also likes to use the pink pillow by sitting seiza-style. Would you like to see a screenshot?
Thank you!! Someone actually sent me a screenshot earlier, but I haven’t had a chance to update the post yet TwT thank you for the offer though!
When Kurobuchi-san came to visit me he is playing with the ping pong ball.
I don’t have the mochi-like ball or any of the other items you listed.
Thanks! I’ll add this to his section the next time I update this
Hello. I was looking up for what Tobimike-san gave me as treasure, but you put a flower-patterned collar when the item looks like a seed. I think perhaps this may be a mistake? Thank you.
Yes, someone already alerted me of this, but I haven’t had time to update this post yet. Thanks!

If Manzoku-san comes, is there any way to stop him from eating all of the food? When I pay gold sardines I don’t want it to disappear quickly.
Unfortunately, there isn’t 😦 I suggest you leave him alone to have his full because he’ll give you more sardines (and sometimes gold ones!) if you let him eat at his own pace, haha. I totally feel the same as you though; I’m just like ughhhhh each time he eats my gold food…
Thanks. Are there any ideas how to get the most sardines? It seems like the higher level cats (toward the end of the list) give more, and it has nothing to do with what they are playing with. But I may be wrong.
Yes, rare cats tend to give more sardines. Rare cats only play with specific items, though with the most recent update, some of the rare cats can play with two items. I think Manzoku-san and Koikoi-san give the most sardines and are easier to attract than the other rare cats.
With regard to Maromayu-san: He has visited my garden twice with the default (but expanded) background. (The one with the TV and green backpack inside and the green mat on the ground outside.)
Thanks so much!! I’ll edit this post with your info ;w;
I’ve seen Maromayu-san in the expanded but NOT remodeled house :3
Maromayu has visited me and I have not expanded or remodeled at all.
Maromayu-san has also visited my unremodeled house.
Hello! Concerning Maromayu-san, I have two of the three remodels, and it has come even in the first option of the remodels, so that rumor is not true!
Thank you very much, I’ve seen Maromayu-san in my extended garden, and I haven’t bought any of the modifications, so it is posible to see her without any modifications, perhaps all you need is to extend your garden, thanks again for the info and greetings from Colombia
I got the gift from Maromayu-san and didn’t do any of the remodels. Only four gifts left to go. Cream-san is so fickle and has only visited 4 times. Still also waiting on gifts from Nabeneko-san, Nekomata-san and Bistro-san.
By the way, the first time Cream-san visited, he played with the baseball.
Hello there! I just wanted to inform you that I got Maromayu-san in the garden skin that’s not the traditional or the modern one. I don’t really know how to describe it… It’s sweet and western, i guess… Anyways, your blog’s been a great help to me, so thank you! 🙂
yay glad to see the updates! (: by the way, i’ve managed to collect most of the normal cat’s treasure. i’m just left with 4 cats to collect, including cream-san. if you’d like pictures of all of the cats with the treasure profile let me know! i’ve also managed to collect 4 of the rare cat’s treasure but 9 more to go for the other cats hahaah.
thanks for doing this for neko atsume lovers, as always!
I have the modern garden and Maromayu-san has visited.
I have Maromayu-San on my screen in the first non-expanded scene, so it will show up without the zen garden scene.
Cream-San has used green pillow here. The one the Prince cat uses.
Loved your guide! I’m at the point where I’m trying to get the last of the treasures from rare card + buy the final home backgrounds.
I haven’t figured out the difference between the gold foods. Sashimi has always worked fine for me. Can’t stead japanese…. any idea what the benefits of the pricier wet food is? I don’t notice any difference and found all the rate cats without bothering with it. Now I’ve got plenty of gold to spend though….
I’m honestly not sure if there’s a difference in the gold food tbh because I think this game is so dependent on a RNG, haha. Sashimi has always worked for me as well when trying to get rare cats who are “too good” to eat dry food, hehe ;w; like I’ve purchased all the gold food once to see if it made a difference, but in the end, I just stuck with the higher quality crisps and sashimi ;w;
Thank you so much for your guides! I don’t know a lick of Japanese, and your guides are very useful.
FYI: I had Cream-San play with the scratching box (flat rectangular brown box).
Thank you!! This makes me really happy; I’ve been working on translating recently, so I’d be so happy if this guide was easy to understand! ;w;
And thank you for the tip about Cream-san! I’ll update the post as soon as I can!
Akage-san came to my game to play with the pink ball of yarn! I can give you a non-butt photo if you would like it.
That would be great if you could, thank you!! I have a non butt photo, but I keep forgetting to take a screencap of it, haha… lies down
Actually, the first four photos of Akage-san I have are all butt photos… I was like, what are you doing
I have got Tatejima-san’s baseball~~ do you want a pic ; v ;d~??
Sure, that would help me a lot, thank you! I still haven’t gotten a lot of treasures yet ;w;
Here are some presents you don’t have yet 🙂 http://imgur.com/a/jsKFQ
OMG REBEKAH, YOU’RE SUCH A LIFESAVER!! Thank you so much! ;A; I’m gonna update this post as soon as I can with your screencaps! Thanks so much again ;w; (If you catch any of the new cats from the new update, let me know!! hehe)
thank you so much for this post, it’s incredibly useful! 🙂
just wanted to say that i got Odd-san playing with the brown paper bag today. unfortunately missed him, but i noticed it isn’t in his list of goods here.
Thanks so much! I’ll add it to his list the next time I update this post!
OMG NEW CATS! Will send along screencaps as soon as I get them!!
Thanks so much again for everything!! ;w; I got one of the new regular cats so far, but he’s always facing the other way or showing his butt, sigh…
I just go the newest update to version 1.3.0. There’s a new icon with an envelope on it. When you tap it, it gives you a list of your cats and some numbers. Can someone tell me what this is?
It’s the list of your cats’ albums and how many pictures are in each album (18 being the max, aside from the ‘free’ album). When I find the chance to update my main Neko Atsume post, I will expand on this.
Hi-
Thank you very much for creating these pages! I had a question about the rare cats-I have only been able to take entire screenshots of 2 rare cats-is that all I can do?
Thanks!
Sorry, I’m not really understanding your question. Are you talking about two out of all rare cats or the two newest rare cats that were added with the most recent update (version 1.3)?
Sorry! Out of the rare cats that I’ve seen, I’ve only been able to take a screenshot of the baseball cat and the puss in boots cats (because they were standing)-is it possible to take closer photos of them? Thank you!
You should be still able to take screencaps of the other rare cats, but rare cats only have one or two poses in comparison to regular cats 😦 and you can’t zoom in… (not yet anyway, haha.) So to take clear pictures of the rare cats, you pretty much need to make sure your items that attract rare cats aren’t obstructed by other items!
Here’s a post that tracks the usage of all of the tents, cafe, parasol and cafe:
I’m keeping track of some of the other new toys too (tracking the natural marble plate and large cooling mat too). Pls feel free to email me. Thank you.
Apologies, I should have consolidated the replies into one post. Kurotora is less fussy than Haihachi. Other toys he likes are in this post:
Other toys Haihachi has been seen to play with:
As for Akage-san fans:
Other information:
Sphinx-san does not require canned food, but will turn up with valuable crisps.
Cafe-san (thus far) will require at least some form of premium canned food in order to come out.
Odd-san fans will be happy to note that he really likes the pyramid tent too.
Mugiwara-san has been seen to use the natural marble plate (30 gold fish item) .
You can get Bistro-san with the glass flower vase. He makes a parfait with it! http://i.imgur.com/1d1VhKN.jpg
Also, I had Cream-san visit me on the big cushion. http://i.imgur.com/a05lySG.jpg
Thanks so much!! ;w;
The pizza cat is also attracted to the big glass (in the latest updated version).
Thanks so much!!
Here’s the the new cats with treasure:
Sorry, I don’t think the images are working? ;A; Could you possibly upload them via imgur?
The “quiz king” attribute to the Sphinx cat is a reference to the legendary Riddle of the Sphinx: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx#The_Riddle_of_the_Sphinx
Oh!! Thanks so much, I can’t believe I didn’t realize this ;w; I’ll add it to the guide!
I tried several times with imgur but nothing… Can I send to you the images by email?
Actually, it’s okay, I was able to get images from another user! Thanks again for your help though ;__;
New cats and 3/4 of the treasure!
http://seiza-san.tumblr.com/post/121760249101/new-cats-and-some-of-their-presents
Thanks soooooo much again!! ;w; I’m always grateful for your help! Hehe
Thanks so much for screencapping the treasures’ descriptions, too!! You’re too good to me! ;w;
Thanks so much for this; it’s incredibly helpful! I’m glad you were able to add the new cats too! Thanks again!
Thank you for your guide! I’ve been playing this game for approximately a week now, and your guide has been so useful! Oh and I happened to notice that these toys werent included in the lists for these three cats!
You can get Shirokuro-san with glass flower vase! http://i.imgur.com/pmszuA9.png
Haishiro with the pink pillow http://i.imgur.com/5LfGmeI.png
And Odd with the pyramid tent!! http://i.imgur.com/mx33wxx.png
Thanks so much!! I’ll add them to the guide the next time I edit it! ;w;
Just a heads up that Kurotora-san also likes the cardboard car:
Thanks for putting all this together!
Thanks so much!! I’ll add this to the guide!
Hi! Thank you for this amazing blog. Just wanted to let you know that the special cat Amesho-san is most likely based off Anna Wintour (American Vogue editor-in-chief), who is best known for her cropped hair and large sunglasses ^~^
Thanks! I’ll add that to the guide!
Sagabiri-san-sp? (brown & black cat with evil personality) also plays on the two level basic scratching post.
Thanks! I’ll add it to the guide!
Tatejima-san is not dressed as a baseball player–he’s dressed as a fan. He’s wearing a team hapi coat like this
http://shop.hanshintigers.jp/goods/index.html?ggcd=13516&clk=relatedD
and is carrying not a bat but a noisemaker
http://shop.hanshintigers.jp/goods/index.html?ggcd=12435&cid=cheer
He’s definitely for Hanshin Tigers too!
The cardboard van is a real thing you can get (in Japan anyway) from Yamato Transport. They sell moving boxes that are designed to be recycled into cat toys.

The pass Osamurai-san gives you -might- (I’m not positive) be a reference to the legend of Mito Komon, a wanderer who would travel from town to town righting wrongs. When asked what authority he had, he would present a seal from the shogun and announce that that was his license to operate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mito_Kōmon
Got gift from Cream on the green cot in garden!
Thanks!! I’ll add it to the guide
Akage-san with red fur likes the plum jar with the lid.
Thanks!! I’ll add it to the guide 🙂
Sabigara-san plays with Mr. Dragonfly too! I just got a nice photo of him catching it on the fly and I’m pretty proud of it haha. Thanks for your guides, they are so helpful ^_^
Cream-San likes the pyramid tent (the one Sphinx-San likes). She visited it in my game.
This is so useful!!
Could I translate this into Chinese and repost it on another site?
Please….
Yes, that’s fine.
Please be sure to link this page as the original!
Can you also give me the link to the Chinese walkthrough when you’re finished? I’ll share it here, too!
Reblogged this on ChanNuneo 2PM Fiction and commented:
แปะไว้ค่ะ สำหรับเลี้ยงแมว
Lol I’m not doing it anymore it’s too much work
and someone’s already done a walkthrough ε-(´∀｀; )
But thank you :*
cream-san has been to the new café
When Yamaneko is on top of the cat tree his head is not visible. This started yesterday. Everything was as usual. It is as if the whole image enlarged. Have you encountered this before? Is there something that I could do to bring it back to size?
I haven’t had this problem, but my friend said it happened once to her when she was using one of the remodeled themes. It’s just a glitch and nothing to be alarmed about.
Thanks for your quick response.
Yamaneko-san can also be based on Kenji Miyazawa’s character (story 「どんぐりと山猫」).
I just got Osamurai-san’s treasure here

cream san came to the athletic tower for me
Hi! Thank you so much for this! Just started playing this game and your guide had been really helpful. 🙂
Really informative. Loving the game. Determined to have all the cats visit my garden! Thank you for all the information you’ve provided! 🙂
Kijitora-san stopped by my garden tonite to play with the watermelon ball.
Why dont the toys cats played with appear anymore? I cannot keep an eye on which toy attracting cats more 😦
Are you playing on Android? The toys cats play with are still displayed in my game, and I’m using iOS. Otherwise, I don’t know why they decided to take it out… It was implemented with the most recent update.
Yes. I’m using Android. I hope that they will bring it back.
Hola! Cream-san also scratches on Osamurai-san’s log. 🙂 Plus the toys are displayed back again after the latest Lollipop update. 🐈
Thank you so much for letting me know!! ;w;
First off, thank you for making this! It’s helped me a lot since I first downloaded the game.
Second, I got Cream-san with the Glass flower vase. Just thought I’d let you know ^^

How do i get the cat to go in my house? I heard must put food in the house but how???
You have to expand your house first. After that, go to our inventory and tap on any food. It’ll highlight where you can place food. Check the comments above.
Thanks so much for the excellent documentation!
Kijitora-san also seems to like the watermelon ball. That is how I first encountered him. 🙂
I’m 63 and I love this game! I’ve never been so involved in one.
I do have a question. Somehow I have collected all the cats but the Sphinx or Egyptian cat. Is there a special way or sequence to attract him? I’ve put out the pyramid for him. Does he prefer a specific home background and food?
I was able to attract him very easily with high quality crisps, like he came all the time. But if it doesn’t work, sashimi seems to be the go-to food to attract the rarer cats. (Backgrounds don’t matter when it comes to attracting him!)
This is an invaluable guide! Thank you! FYI, Cream-san also plays with that little leaf thing, and in Sphinx-san’s pyramid. Sorry if I’m repeating info–too many comments to read through!
So it does matter which background you have to attract certain cats? Has anyone been able to collect all cats with the default background?
No, it doesn’t. You can collect all the cats with the default background.
One more update…just opened the app after placing the red/gold hammock. Kuroneko-san seems to like that one as well. Are all of the hammocks/cushions interchangeable or do most cats only prefer one specific color?
There is an iOS update out today… Yay! (I hope.)
Not a full update. It allows you to tweet images from your album directly to twitter.
So helpful! Thank you! Cream-san will also play with the baseball, the pink cushion, and the Egyptian pyramid. I can send you a screen cap of my photos if you like.
After missing few times, I’ve seen Akage-san played in blizzard tent ;D
so happy~ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3_6L9QQ8kouTTF6MHZIY3BwNm8/preview
Love this game since being introduced to it in late June. All cats have visited and been imaged except 2. I have all the cats listed here except Koikoi-san and 1 other. Is there a mystery cat in a newer version?
All cats are listed here. Two new rare cats were introduced in the latest version: Sphinx-san and Cafe-san. Are you missing Cream-san? She’s technically a regular cat, but it seems like her appearance rate is even lower than rare cats.
I FINALLY have all cats. Sphinx-San was my final one. Now the special cats are bringing me gifts, which is very exciting. If you figure out which 2 are missing through a process of elimination, I imagine that using this excellent guide, you can put out favorite toys and food to attract them. Have patience. It took a long time to get Sphinx-San to visit me. Oddly enough, cream-San was one of the first to visit me. I’ve had as many as 12 cats in the garden. I sent the picture to my children saying I feel a little like The Count on Sesame Street ‘Twelve! Twelve! Twelve little cats!’
Please help, I’ve tried everything but Haihachi-san does not want to come to my house!! I’m crying, he’s not even a rare cat but I’ve seen Cream-san more times than I him.
Sorry, there’s no real guarantee to get the regular cats. The items I listed were the ones he played with in my game, but maybe you can try reddit to see if more active players know of other items. Other than that, I always use high quality crisps when I’m not trying to attract rare cats, so that will increase the number of cats who visit.
Only things you could do is placing out their favorite toys, HQ food, and then pray :”))))~
If you have Cream-san more than Haihachi-san then you’re quite lucky haha :”))))))~~
It’s also took me a while to “capture” Haihachi-san :”))~ maybe a few dishes of sashimi will work out just fine. Good luck ^^d~
Cream-san visited me more than Haihachi-san at first too. Haihachi-san finally started coming around more when I put out the modern tower, so maybe give that a try. I see that the tower isn’t listed with his toys above, but it definitely worked for me–I’ve now had 17 visits from Haihachi-san & only 9 from Cream-san.
I’ve had good luck getting Haihachi-san with the green cushion.
Cafe-san took FOREVER to visit me. It seemed like she came more readily when I bought the most expensive food, but that may have been just a coincidence.
I was about to complete all cats but suddenly two new spaces appeared on the album. The same day I was able to see one of the new cats which name is しろみけさん ( it’s white with an orange left ear and the right ear is black). The tail is also black. I’m sorry I can’t post the pic. Do you know anything about them?
I don’t have any new cats in my album, and there hasn’t been any new updates as far as I know. The cat you’re describing sounds like shimamike-san (as opposed to shiromike), and he’s been around. I’ve also listed him in the walkthrough. Would you happen to know what the other blank space is?
Hi! Someone else commented and informed me of a new update, but I don’t think iOS has it yet, so I haven’t been able to update. Shiromike-san is one of them, and he’s a regular cat. That’s as far as I know though.
There has been an update! Two new cats and lots of new items!!

Thanks! I have iOS, and it doesn’t look like there has been an update yet…
I will let you know if the other cat appears! The only problem is I can’t post the pic
Here is a screenshot a took to the other new cat Haisabi-san: http://i.imgur.com/6bVzxKx.png
Can i expand my house more after i expand it at first time? Example like this: http://imgur.com/rjEfR0F
now i just have background with TV~
Thank you so much ^^!
No, you can only expand it just the one time. (At least for now. I don’t know if they plan on adding more expansions in the future.)
Yeh, so what can i do to have another background like this? Can u help me? Please! T_T

First you have to expand your garden, and then the option to purchase themes will be open to you. Themes cost gold sardines. This process is listed in the other post titled “How to play Neko Atsume”, which is listed at the top of this post.
Tobimike-san had visited me for 72 times, still it never leave me a treasure…but some had visited like 12 times already left me a treasure. I don’t understand why.
Tobimike-san is funny too, even though it never leave me a treasure, it is always the first cat who come to play with whatever new toy I put out for other cats.
Tobimike-san finally gives me his treasure after he comes to visit me 103 times!
Omg 2 new cats!! Finally both of them have visited my garden!!
First one is Shiromike-san (attracted to almost everything, both old and new toys, may prefer the Momiji mat?) and the second one is Haisabi-san (may prefer Makaron cushion, he just visited me 2 times and both seen in that though :”))~)
There’s a Nekoatsume official book now…

Hi! I was wondering if my game has a glitch because nagagutsu-san has visited me 78 times but has not goven me a treasure. Is this normal? Thank you! I love your guide. ^w^
I’m not sure if normal is the right word (haha) because the number of visits to get treasures vary ;A; like for each cat (even rare cats), I’ve seen numbers in the 20s to numbers in the 70s. Don’t give up though! (I gave up a few weeks ago haha)
Hi. Brand new to the game. Thank you for your wonderful site! 🙂
It seems to me that a better translation for Bistro-san’s treasure might be “rolling pin”, as he wears a chef’s hat and a bistro is a type of restaurant.
I’m aware it’s a rolling pin. A lot of the cats’ treasures are literal descriptions. I’m guessing the cats aren’t aware of what the items are named and in their cute way are just calling it as it is. I kept the translation exactly like how it is in Japanese to keep that charm.
For the record:

Creamy sat on the square purple pillow today 😻
I have a picture of cream-San with the blue ball! 🙂

Thank you so much~ ♥️
Thank you, I really appreciate this! I haven’t been playing Neko Atsume recently, so I haven’t gotten the new cats yet… That, and I haven’t had time to update the walkthrough yet 😦 so thank you for the screencaps!
Hi dear!
At list Kiddo san had wisit me!
And screens for you! Use it please!

Shironeko-san, Kurotora-san, Point-san, Shirotora-san, Chahachi-san, and Shirosaba-san like the toy capsule, I’m new and I’m not sure if that was apart of the new update or you just didn’t know about it
Thank you! I just haven’t had any time at all to update anything T__T too busy with work and exams, so I’ll have a little more time to update mid-December !
Hi, thanks for the walk through, but I can’t seems to get Cafe-san to appear after placing the cardboard cafe out for more than a week, is there any specific food or other condition to get her to appear?
I usually use the high quality crisps (I’m not sure what it’s called in the English version) or anything of higher quality, and that does the trick for Cafe-san. If you wanted to use the gold-fish food, I recommend the sashimi!
Thank you for listing the goods to use for rare cats, I’ve been doing it by trial and error and it takes ages! I discovered today that Ekichou-san visits for the cardboard train as well, I put it out and he visited straight away.
Thank you for telling me! I suspected that he did, but he hasn’t visited me yet with the cardboard train ;w; thanks again!
I have only been playing the English version a couple of days and am hooked!! Thank you for your wonderful walkthrough! I noticed a couple of goodies not listed under some cats that have visited my yard on your list under those cats. Shironeko san (snowball) & akasabi san (spud) like the zebra grass teaser. Kurobuchi san likes the ping pong ball. Shirotora san (Mack) likes the soccer ball.
Thanks again for all your work and help with this 🙂
There is a new cat from the recent update and it’s attracted to the Snowy Pillow 😻
Btw, your walk through helped me a lot, thank you!
Neko Atsume is the best game ever!
Seems like my last comment with 3 screenshots have gone to nowhere ;; v ;;/…
Anyway, have anyone here got the lastest cat AFTER Kiddo-san??
I think this one might be of the “Winter edition” kind of, so I’ve put out all the winter toys of this update I could find in the store (tried the HQ food too!) but still no new cat visits ; w ;/…
Have anyone here seen that lil cutie ;; w ;; ??!!
There is a new cat to be collected and I still haven’t seen it up yet ;_;
How do you get into the house? I’ve only had this game one day and I’m very confused! any help would be much appreciated thank you
Please see “how to expand your house” in the “How to Play Neko Atsume” post
I will try to post a screen cap later, but I have had four visits from “Frosty” (the English name), which is a rare white cat with red eyes and a traditional Japanese straw coat. So far, Frosty has only come to sit on the Snowy Pillow for me. Have you seen this kitty? Can you tell me the Japanese name for him/her?
Yukineko-san! (ゆきねこさん) which means along the lines of ‘Mr. Snow Cat’
Will you be updating this soon? There’s quite afew new cats that I’ve seen, but aren’t in this list.
Yours is the most imdepth, easy to follow guide I’ve found; thank you!
I’d like to update it, but I haven’t found any time to sit down and edit everything T__T I’ve been waiting for my schedule to change at work, so hopefully soon!
May I know what is Support ID?
