In Ubisoft's *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures, including the delightful presence of cats. If you're on a quest to discover the cat island in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, we've got you covered.
How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin's Creed Shadows
To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to journey to the Omi region, which typically becomes accessible around the midpoint of the game's storyline. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and ready for new challenges, then head northeast toward Omi.
Your destination is Lake Biwa, a vast expanse of water that dominates the central part of Omi. For a smoother journey, it's advisable to secure a boat. You can find one in the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo, or opt to swim across the lake if you're feeling adventurous.

Your target is the larger island located in the middle of Lake Biwa, just northwest of Azuchi. As you approach, the game will unveil Okishima Island, complete with a Kakurega where you can rest. The island is bustling with activity, especially around the docks where fish are being dried, providing ample food for the cats you're seeking.
To immerse yourself in the company of cats on Okishima, head north toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll notice an increasing number of cats. Don't forget to pet them to add these charming creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are particularly elusive elsewhere.

While most Leaps of Faith reveal intriguing new locations, the true treasure on Okishima is your newfound feline companions. After taking in the sights and making your Leap of Faith into a haystack, there's little else to do except revisit the cats. You'll also return to Okishima later in Yasuke's storyline, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
