In Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Shadow, amidst the diverse wildlife—dogs, foxes, deer, and more—lies a hidden gem: a charming feline haven. Ready to discover the purrfect location of the Cat Island? Let's dive in.

To reach this feline paradise, you'll need to progress to the Omi region, typically around the game's midpoint. Ensure your character is adequately leveled for the challenges ahead. From there, head northeast to locate Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a significant body of water dominating the region's center. For efficient travel, commandeer a boat from settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, the adventurous can opt for a swim.

Your target is the larger island in the lake's center, northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, complete with a Kakurega for a well-deserved rest. The abundance of dried fish near the docks hints at the island's furry inhabitants.

To encounter the island's feline residents, proceed north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll begin to see more and more cats. Don't forget to pet them! Adding these adorable creatures to your Hideout collection is a rewarding experience, especially the rarer kittens.

While the Leap of Faith offers exciting exploration, Okishima's true treasure lies in its adorable feline friends. After exploring and completing the Leap, you can revisit the cats at your leisure. You'll also return to this location later in Yasuke's story.
