Day 1 Overview: Your First Day Cat-Sitting Whiskers
Day 1 of 7 Days Cat-Sitting plays like an ordinary pet-sitting job. The house behaves normally, Whiskers is just a cat, and every objective is clearly guided. This calm opening is intentional: the game wants you to memorize the routine so that later anomalies stand out. Treat Day 1 as your tutorial and reference baseline.
| Day 1 Element | What to Expect | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Whiskers care | Feeding, litter box, laser playtime | Required |
| Household chores | Collect mail, prepare dinner | Required |
| Horror events | Minimal or none on Day 1 | Low |
| House layout | Learn room and object locations | High |
| Bedtime | Only after all objectives clear | Required |
Routine Tasks
- Feeding Whiskers on schedule
- Litter box cleaning
- Laser pointer playtime
Household Chores
- Collecting the daily mail
- Preparing dinner
- Checking doors before bed
Day 1 Goals
- Learn the normal house state
- Memorize task locations
- Build a bedtime checklist habit
Day 1 is the only day with almost no interference. Pay close attention to where objects, doors, and task markers normally appear. Every later anomaly is measured against this baseline, so a careful Day 1 makes Days 4-7 far easier to read.
Day 1 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Work through Day 1 in this order. Each step matches the objective system, so following the sequence avoids missed chores and wasted time.
Arrive and Check the Objective List
When the run starts, look at the current objective before touching anything. Day 1 objectives are linear and safe, but building the habit of checking first protects you later when random interactions can change your route.
Feed Whiskers
Locate Whiskers' food area and complete the feeding interaction. Confirm the feeding objective is cleared before moving on; do not assume the animation finishing means the task is done.
Clean the Litter Box
Head to the litter area and finish the cleaning interaction. This is a recurring daily task, so remember its location for faster runs through the rest of the week.
Play With the Laser Pointer
When the playtime objective appears, use the laser pointer for Whiskers' play session. Do not go straight to bed after playtime; more chores are usually still pending.
Collect the Mail
Visit the mail spot and collect or inspect the day's mail. On Day 1 the mail is routine, but this task becomes story-relevant on later days, so note where it comes from.
Prepare Dinner and Check Doors
Complete the dinner objective in the evening, then check doors and windows as instructed. Even on Day 1, securing the house is part of the expected routine.
Sleep to End Day 1
Only after every objective is cleared, use the bed to advance to Day 2. Review your task list one final time before sleeping so nothing is left unfinished.
Sleeping with unfinished objectives is one of the most common Day 1 mistakes. Bedtime advances the run, and skipped chores can affect how cleanly the following days progress. Always recheck the objective list first.
Day 1 Task Checklist and Locations
Use this table as a quick reference while playing. Timings reflect the typical Day 1 flow.
| Task | Action | Timing | Completion Check |

| Clean litter box | Clean the litter area | After feeding | Litter objective cleared |
| Laser playtime | Run the laser play session | Mid day | Play objective cleared |
| Collect mail | Check the mail spot | Before evening | Mail objective cleared |
| Prepare dinner | Complete dinner interaction | Evening | Dinner objective cleared |
| Secure house | Check doors as instructed | Before bed | House check cleared |
| Review tasks | Confirm no pending objectives | Final step | No objectives remaining |
Day 1 Before-Bed Checklist:
- Whiskers fed and task confirmed
- Litter box cleaned
- Laser playtime completed
- Mail collected
- Dinner prepared and doors checked
- Objective list fully cleared before sleeping
Common Day 1 Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Most failed or messy runs trace back to habits formed on Day 1. Fix these early.
Sleeping Too Early
- Risk: skipped objectives
- Fix: always review the task list before bed
Random Interactions
- Risk: wasted time, bad habits
- Fix: only interact with objective-relevant objects
Ignoring Layout
- Risk: missed anomalies later
- Fix: memorize normal object positions now
Each time you finish a task, take two seconds to compare the room with what you saw earlier. If something looks different on a later day, that comparison is your early warning system.
What Comes After Day 1
Day 1 sets the routine; the rest of the week distorts it. Expect strange events to interrupt familiar chores as the days progress, and expect your Day 1 baseline to become your main tool for spotting them.
| Day | Difficulty | What Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | ★☆☆☆☆ | Pure tutorial, normal routine |
| Day 2 | ★★☆☆☆ | Minor unusual moments |
| Day 3 | ★★☆☆☆ | Routine with interruptions |
| Day 4 | ★★★☆☆ | Clear anomalies appear |
| Day 5-6 | ★★★★☆ | Suspicious events, phone checks |
| Day 7 | ★★★★★ | Final events, ending decisions |
Day 1 choices rarely decide endings by themselves, but keeping a clean, fully-completed routine on Day 1 supports the routine-focused ending route on replays.
