Badge System Overview
Badges in 7 Days Cat Sitting function as permanent achievements attached to your player profile. They record how well you cared for the cat across the seven-day sitting period and reward both consistent caregiving and thorough exploration. Some badges are straightforward attendance awards, while others demand near-perfect care routines or discoveries hidden behind optional interactions.
Open the pause menu and select the trophy icon to view all badges, their unlock conditions, and your current progress. Badges earned in previous playthroughs are never lost.
The badge pool falls into four broad categories:
| Category | Description | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Care Badges | Earned through feeding, grooming, and playing with the cat | Easy |
| Progress Badges | Awarded for reaching each new day of the sitting job | Easy |
| Exploration Badges | Require finding hidden items or secret areas in the house | Medium |
| Mastery Badges | Demand a near-perfect run with no care mistakes | Hard |
Exploration badges tied to one-time events, such as a cat hiding spot that only appears on Day 3, cannot be earned after that day ends. Keep multiple saves if you want everything in a single run.
Core Badge List and Unlock Conditions
Below is the general breakdown of the badge families you will encounter, with the typical conditions attached to each. Exact names may vary slightly between game updates.
| Badge Group | Typical Unlock Condition | Recommended Day |
|---|---|---|
| First Feeding | Feed the cat its first meal | Day 1 |
| Clean Litter | Scoop the litter box multiple times | Day 1-2 |
| Playtime Pal | Use every toy at least once | Day 2-3 |
| Halfway There | Reach Day 4 of the sitting job | Day 4 |
| Trust Builder | Reach maximum affection with the cat | Day 4-5 |
| Explorer | Find all hidden rooms and secret items | Day 5-6 |
| Perfect Sitter | Complete all seven days with zero care mistakes | Day 7 |
| Full Badge Board | Unlock every other badge in one run | Day 7 |
Care Badges
- Easiest to obtain
- Tied to daily routines
- Almost impossible to miss
- Great for early profile progress
Exploration Badges
- Require searching the house
- Some tied to day-specific events
- Reward careful observation
- Missable if skipped
Mastery Badges
- Demand a flawless routine
- Punish missed feedings or play
- Best attempted on a second run
- Mark true completion
The cat reacts to small details: responding quickly to meows, refilling water before the bowl empties, and turning lights off at night all appear to feed into affection-based badges.
Step-by-Step Badge Route
Follow this route to collect the maximum number of badges in a single seven-day playthrough.
Day 1 - Establish the Routine
Feed the cat immediately, scoop the litter box, and use one toy. This locks in the earliest care badges and starts your affection meter strong.
Day 2 - Full Toy Rotation
Cycle through every toy in the house at least once. Note any doors or drawers you cannot open yet for later exploration badges.
Day 3 - Watch for One-Time Events
Day 3 commonly triggers unique cat behaviors and hiding spots. Respond promptly to any event prompt to secure the missable exploration badges.
Day 4 - Reach Maximum Affection
Keep response times fast and never let hunger or cleanliness drop low. The Trust Builder badge typically unlocks around this point.
Days 5-7 - Flawless Finish
Maintain a perfect routine through the final days, sweep the house for any missed secrets, and complete the seventh day without a single care mistake for the Perfect Sitter badge.
Completing this route cleanly typically nets the majority of the badge board, including the coveted run-completion badges, in a single playthrough.
Badge Hunting Checklist
Use this checklist to track your badge run day by day.
Seven-Day Badge Run Milestones:
- Feed the cat on time every single day
- Use every toy at least once by Day 3
- Keep the litter box clean without prompting
- Explore all hidden rooms before Day 6
- Finish Day 7 with zero care mistakes
Missing a feeding window or ignoring the cat for too long lowers your hidden care score, which can block mastery badges even if the run is otherwise completed.
Common Mistakes and Fixes
| Mistake | Badge at Risk | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Skipping play sessions | Playtime Pal | Rotate one toy per day minimum |
| Ignoring meows | Trust Builder | Respond within a short window |
| Missing Day 3 events | Explorer badges | Save before Day 3 ends |
| Rushing Day 7 | Perfect Sitter | Slow down and verify each care task |
| No backup saves | Missable badges | Keep a save at the start of each day |
If your first run misses a missable badge, do not restart from scratch blindly. Reload the oldest save before the missed event instead, since badge progress carries across saves on the same profile.
FAQ
Q: Can I earn all 7 Days Cat Sitting badges in one playthrough?
Most badges can be earned in a single careful run, but day-specific exploration badges are missable. Save at the start of each day to guarantee you can retry any missed events.
Q: Do 7 Days Cat Sitting badges carry over between playthroughs?
Yes. Badges are attached to your player profile rather than a single save file, so anything you unlock remains on your badge board permanently.
Q: What is the hardest badge to unlock?
The Perfect Sitter badge is generally the toughest, since it requires completing all seven days without care mistakes. It is best attempted once you know the daily routine well.
Q: How do I check which badges I am missing?
Open the pause menu and select the trophy icon. Locked badges display either their unlock condition or a vague hint, depending on the badge type.
