In Ubisoft’s *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of animals during their journey, including the delightful presence of cats. If you're eager 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, typically accessible around the midpoint of the game's storyline. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and strong enough to tackle the challenges ahead. Head northeast to reach Omi.
Your destination is Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water in the center of the region. For an easier journey, it's advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake to reach your goal.

Navigate to the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima Island, which features a Kakurega where you can rest. The presence of fish drying near the docks hints at the abundance of food for a particular type of animal.
To immerse yourself in the cat-filled environment of Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't forget to pet them to add these charming creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout, especially the elusive rare kittens that are difficult to find elsewhere.

While most Leaps of Faith reveal new locations on your map, the true treasure of Okishima is the companionship of your new feline friends. After exploring and taking the Leap of Faith into the haystack, there's little else to do on the island except to enjoy the company of the cats. You'll also revisit Okishima later in Yasuke’s storyline, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
