No Place Like Home game: Cat location

This post contains affiliate links.

 

Some people have really liked the game No Place Like Home, including me. But unfortunately its technical execution is horrible, with a save deleting bug which still hasn't been fixed in 2026.

 

 

No Place Like Home is about collecting/vacuuming trash and recycling them, farming and collecting lots of cute animals to your farm. There are also some robot enemies.

There are so many animals in this game. Chicken, dog, cat, pigs, ducks, cows, foxes, raccoons, boars, deer, goats. 

 

 

I became addicted to No Place Like Home, playing for six hours straight, unable to stop. But it all came to an abrupt end when I got the infamous save deleting bug.

 

No Place Like Home: Cat location

The only cat in the game is located in Lonely Hills: Quarry region. To be able to enter Lonely Hills you need rubber upgrade for your drill, which requires truffle. Pigs give you truffle. 

The cat is on the upper part/level of the quarry.

 

 

Honey is needed to befriend the cat. You get honey from beehives.

 

 

Here's the cat's location on the map:

 

 

Tips

Here's a good and thorough guide for the game.

You can fast travel from your map. Took me too long to figure this out. No need to keep running around again and again. 

What is the game's currency, "preserved food"? It's NOT any food you can make with the kitchen. You need to actually preserve the food items with the preserver machine.

When upgrading a station/building (chicken coop, kitchen or whatever) you need to place the newer one on top of the old version. You are not allowed to put it anywhere else.

 

No Place Like Home: Save deleting bug 

Warning: Still in 2026 game No Place Like Home has a bug where the save will be randomly deleted. Even loading cloud save won't help. This bug happened to me after 25 hours of gameplay. Do not pay for this game.

Saving manually could delete the save file. Because I knew this I never dared to save manually, but my save disappeared nonetheless.  

There's a workaround for this bug that sometimes works. This didn't work for me. Start a new game, play through at least the tutorial and save. Go back to main menu and hit continue. This might load up your missing save.

By the way, normally never choose "continue" because it might load an older save. Always use "play" and choose the correct save. 

And there's another thing: the devs are sus, because they abandoned this game and copied its assets to another game. The new copy game based on No Place Like Home is called Fresh Start.

 

No Place Like Home: The Picnic

I placed the picnic blanket on my farm just to get rid of it (inventory is always full so make boxes). I never would have thought that chicken and cows are going to enjoy a picnic! Happy animals, happy life?

 

 

Chicken Party

One of the first missions is to get hats on chicken, and then a disco ball is needed because the chickens want to party! 

 

I liked No Place Like Home a lot, and I would have wanted to keep playing it for longer. There's just something about cleaning up areas, and gathering lots of animals to your farm. This game had potential, and I'm sad it's basically unplayable because of the save deleting bug.

A game for book lovers: Tiny Bookshop

The game Tiny Bookshop came out in two copies at the library, and no one was interested in borrowing them. Not even me, but I decided to make the sacrifice.

 

 

Luckily I did, because I really enjoyed the game. And best of all, I got lots of tips for new books to add to my reading list.

 

 

The most interesting example for me is Leonie Swann's Three Bags Full, where sheep solve the murder of their shepherd. This book was made into a movie this year, called The Sheep Detectives! That's a movie I want to see.

There are several Stephen King books in the game.

From a Finnish perspective, it is worth noting that the game also features Moomins and Alvar Aalto.

 

 

 

Cat in a bookstore?

In the game, you can adopt a dog, a cat, and... a murdered mascot. As long as you first find out who murdered the mascot.

 

 

In the first location of the game, you can get seagulls to become paying customers. In fact, you have to recommend suitable books to them. What kind of books do seagulls like? At least some crime books, and classics like Dracula. Surprisingly, bird books don't seem to be suitable for seagulls.

 

 

There's even a trophy for petting a sheep a hundred times. Of course, I did that right away.

 

 

Tiny Bookshop's book recommendation system is a bit broken. It can be frustrating, and even laughable.

 

 

Tiny Bookshop is a perfect game for those who like to both read books and play games.
