In Ubisoft's *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, your journey through the game world will introduce you to a variety of creatures, including adorable cats. For those eager to find the cat island in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's a detailed guide to help you locate it.

How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to travel to the Omi region, which typically becomes accessible around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and leveled up before heading northeast towards Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a large body of water that's central to the Omi region. To reach the cat island, it's highly recommended to find and commandeer a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake, but a boat will make your journey much smoother.

Navigate to the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. As you approach, the game will unveil Okishima Island, which features a Kakurega where you can rest. You'll notice plenty of fish being dried near the docks, indicating a plentiful food source for certain animals.

To immerse yourself in the feline paradise on Okishima, head northwards towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't forget to pet them to add them to your collection for use in the Hideout, especially the rare kittens that are harder to find elsewhere.

While Leaps of Faith often reveal interesting new locations on your map, the true treasure on Okishima is the company of your new feline friends. After taking the Leap of Faith and landing in the haystack, take a moment to enjoy the cats' company once more. You'll also revisit this island later in Yasuke’s story, adding another layer of anticipation to your journey.

That's all you need to know about finding the cat island in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more guidance on the game, feel free to explore resources available on The Escapist.
