7 Days Cat Sitting How to Play: The Basics
7 Days Cat Sitting is a Roblox survival-horror experience by HELP ME PLEASE studios, released on September 15, 2026. On the surface, you are a pet sitter caring for a cat named Whiskers for one week. Feed the cat, clean the litter box, play with the laser pointer, collect the mail, prepare dinner, and go to bed. As the days pass, the house stops behaving normally, and your decisions start to matter.
This game looks cute, but it is a Cat-Sitting Horror experience. Strange and unsettling events escalate across the seven days, so younger players or those sensitive to horror content should be prepared.

The Core Gameplay Loop
| Phase | What You Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Morning care | Check on Whiskers, feed, clean litter | Builds the "normal" baseline routine |
| Afternoon tasks | Laser playtime, mail, household chores | Required objectives for the day |
| Evening | Prepare dinner, secure the house | Unfinished tasks can affect your run |
| Night | Inspect anomalies, then sleep | Sleeping advances to the next day |
Step-by-Step: Surviving One Full Day
Treat every day as a checklist. The safest players complete Whiskers' care first, handle household chores, deal with anything unusual, and only then go to bed.
Start With Whiskers' Daily Care
Check on Whiskers first and complete the basic cat-sitting jobs for the day. Feeding and other required interactions should be handled before any optional exploring.
Clean the Litter Box
Complete the litter-cleaning task when it becomes part of the routine so the day can continue normally.
Use the Laser for Playtime
When laser play is requested, interact with the laser and finish Whiskers' play session. The day is not over afterward—more chores may still be active.
Check Mail and Household Objectives
Collect or inspect mail when prompted, and finish any other household objectives before evening.
Handle Dinner and Secure the House
Complete dinner objectives, recheck doors, and confirm nothing required is still pending. Strange events can interrupt the evening routine.
Sleep Only When Everything Is Done
Use bedtime to advance the day only after the required chores and any important event have been handled. Repeat through Day 7.
Learn the house's "normal" state in the early days. Knowing where objects and tasks usually appear makes it far easier to spot when something has changed—which is the heart of surviving the horror elements.
Anomalies and Strange Events
Anomalies are unusual changes or events that interrupt the normal routine. The safest approach: notice what changed, check your current objective, and avoid random interactions that are not required.
Unexpected Changes Around the House
Objects, rooms, or situations no longer match the routine you learned. Slow down and inspect the current objective before continuing.
Suspicious Events During Chores
Anomalies can appear during feeding, cleaning, mail, playtime, or dinner. Finish required objectives carefully instead of rushing familiar interactions.
When an Event Feels Unsafe
Do not interact with every unusual object just because it appears. Check whether the game is actually directing you toward that interaction.
Use the Phone
When something clearly feels abnormal, check the phone and any communication options instead of blindly continuing the routine.
Over-interacting with strange objects can alter your route or push you toward a negative ending. Save random experimentation for replay runs.
Endings, Badges, and Replay Routes
Endings are tied to how you handle the cat-sitting routine and the game's increasingly strange situations. Instead of repeating every action identically, change a small number of key decisions each run.
Ending Route Types
| Route | Trigger Focus | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Routine-Focused | Consistent care, finished chores, no mistakes | Baseline first playthrough |
| Mistake-Based | Skipped or mishandled responsibilities | Seeing negative outcomes deliberately |
| Anomaly Choice | Different reactions to suspicious events | Unlocking alternate endings |
| Replay Strategy | Change only key actions per run | Identifying which decisions matter |
Badge Categories
| Badge Type | Objective | Replay Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Ending Badges | Reach different ending outcomes | Change important decisions between runs |
| Survival Progress | Stay alive through later days | Finish chores, react carefully to changes |
| Route-Specific | Complete alternate event sequences | Respond differently to unusual events |
| Full-Week Objectives | Progress through all seven days | Treat every day as part of the run |
Use badges as a completion tracker. Compare the badges you already own against the routes above to decide what to attempt on your next run.
Daily Checklist and Survival Rules
Use this checklist every in-game day before you sleep. Finishing the normal chores first makes anomalies far easier to notice.
Before Bed Every Day:
- Feed Whiskers and confirm the task cleared
- Clean the litter box
- Complete laser playtime when requested
- Collect or inspect the mail
- Prepare dinner
- Secure doors and check the house
- Review for any unfinished required objectives
Common Mistake Reference
| Mistake | Consequence | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeping with unfinished tasks | Objectives left unresolved | Review checklist before bed |
| Assuming the house is secure | Surprise during suspicious events | Recheck doors after noises |
| Rushing the evening | Missed important interactions | Inspect house before bedtime |
| Repeating identical choices | Same ending every run | Change responses to anomalies |
| Ignoring the phone | Missed event information | Check phone when events feel abnormal |
If a run repeatedly leads to the same failure or ending, alter the key decisions around unusual events rather than repeating the same sequence again.
