In Ubisoft’s *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a delightful array of animals during their journey, including the charming presence of cats. For those eager to discover the location of the cat island, let's guide you through the process.
How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To reach the cat island, you'll need to head to the Omi region, typically accessible around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared for the challenges ahead, then venture northeast towards Omi.
Your destination lies in Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water central to the region. It's highly advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim if you prefer a more adventurous approach.

Navigate to the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, situated just northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, which features a Kakurega for resting. The presence of fish being dried near the docks hints at the island's feline inhabitants.
To immerse yourself in the cat-filled environment of Okishima, proceed north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter an increasing number of cats. Don't miss the opportunity to pet them, as this adds them to your collection for use in the Hideout, particularly the elusive rare kittens.

While Leaps of Faith usually reveal new map locations, the true treasure on Okishima is your newfound feline companions. After exploring and landing in the haystack, revisit the cats at your leisure. Additionally, you'll return to Okishima later in Yasuke's storyline, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
