In Ubisoft’s *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures on their journey, including delightful cats. If you're curious about the location of 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 reach the cat island, you'll need to navigate to the Omi region, which becomes accessible around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and leveled up before heading northeast towards Omi.
Your destination is Lake Biwa, a vast body of water central to the Omi region. It's advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake if you prefer.

Your target is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, just northwest of Azuchi. Upon reaching it, you'll discover Okishima Island, which features a Kakurega where you can rest. You'll notice plenty of fish being dried near the docks, indicating a food source for a particular type of animal.
To immerse yourself in the feline population 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.

While most Leaps of Faith unlock new map locations, the true treasure on Okishima is your new feline companions. After exploring and landing in the haystack, there's little else to do but enjoy the company of the cats. You'll revisit Okishima later in Yasuke’s storyline, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
