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.

Animals in Red Dead Redemption

In honor of the first Red Dead Redemption coming to PS5 it's free to play on Playstation Plus Extra.

John Marston is a wannabe farmer, who has done some terrible things in his past (see Red Dead Redemption 2), while being a member of Dutch's gang of outlaws. Now his past has caught him, and he's forced to track down some old buddies. And of course to kill lots of people in the process. And unfortunately innocent animals too, especially horses and cows.

 

 

This game is not suitable for animal lovers. Right at the start of the game you have to kill some bunnies. And this theme goes on through the game.

In fact many of the trophies/achievements require killing animals. Kill one of each animal type, kill all the buffalos until they go extinct, kill 18 bears and so on. This was my second playthrough of the game, and this time I refused to do any of that...

 

 

Not to mention the still present trophy which requires killing a woman by placing her on the train tracks... But don't worry, this woman was evil! (as are all the scantily clad women in this game, who are asking for help on the roadside, so beware of them!)

 

 

Horses 

There are lot of animals in Red Dead Redemption. There are almost no cars, so riding a horse to everywhere is a must. It gets really annoying really fast when you have to ride to same locations over and over. Thumb hurts from pressing X. And when you die you don't only have to do the mission again. You have to ride to its location again. Long, long ways.

 

 

Your horse can die from the bullets of your enemies, and unlike in Red Dead Redemption 2, there is no horse reviver. When the horse dies, it's gone forever, with no way to save it. In terms of gameplay this means nothing, because you can whistle for another horse straightaway.

 

 

And unlike in RDR2, you can't take care of your horse either. No grooming, no feeding, no patting. No nothing!

 

Cows 

There are some missions about herding cows. But in two of them you have to try to stop them from committing suicide. If you fail, they will jump down from a cliff or run in front of a train. So if you don't want to see animals die, don't play this game.

 

 

 

Dogs 

You can do some nightwatch missions with dogs in three different towns. 

 

And then there's the Marston family dog, Rufus, who helps you in some missions.

 

 

Is Rufus a good boy? Probably, but John Marston surely isn't.

 

 

 

Chicken 

There are chicken on farms. It's easy to run them over with your horse, so be careful. Sometimes dogs kill them... I was playing the horseshoe minigame, and when I finished it I found two dead chickens...

 

 

 

Water Allergy Is Real 

Be afraid of water. Be very, very afraid of water. John Marston is infamously allergic to water. If he even touches water he will instantly die. 

One time I was almost done with a gang hideout, all enemies were dead but I still needed to burn a couple of boats. I looted a box on a pier, and fell into water. Mission fail, and I spawned in a town long away. I was a bit pissed... 

Luckily Jack Marston doesn't suffer from the same problem.

 

 

 

Bugs 

Red Dead Redemption on PS5 is still a buggy game, as these pictures prove:

 

 

 

And taking the coach ride can lead to some dangerous driving...

Fallout 76: Brahmin meat location

It was a long and cursed process to get Brahmin meat when you don't want to kill any innocent cows. Unfortunately the animals in Fallout 76 (affiliate link) seem to be mutated and often two-headed, those poor unfortunate souls. So one could argue that getting them out of their misery would be the merciful thing to do. 

We didn't want to kill the cows to make progress in the Second Helpings mission. It took a long time to find some Brahmin meat.

 

 

This quest requires the player to cook a ribeye steak. To be able to do that brahmin meat is needed. No problem, right? Because there are many two-headed cows roaming around the area. But what if you don't want to kill them? 

Cows have a special place in my heart, and I still regret killing them for a trophy in Far Cry: New Dawn. This time I wasn't willing to do it. Maybe I have learned from my mistake.

 

 

How to get Brahmin meat without killing 

If you don't want to kill the cows you are supposed to get the meat from brahmin corpses in the area. But for us all the meat we could find was always spoiled.

So, after weeks of trying, we traveled to Whitespring resort. In its mall resides a vendor named Marie, who sometimes has brahmin meat for sale. It's random. So I thought our luck had turned when she did have one piece of meat.

But for my co-op partner, there was no meat. Had I bought the only one available?

 

 

But then a disaster struck. I tried to give the meat to my partner and accidentally ate it! I was ready to ragequit the whole game right then. Like I said, this was a cursed quest for us.

I tried to search online how often the vendors change their stock? I could only find conflicting information.

But then we went back to Flatwoods, and for the first time there was some fresh meat on brahmin corpses. So finally, success! 

 

 

Where to find Brahmin meat in Fallout 76

*Brahmin corpses near the mission Second helpings objective (the meat could be spoiled though) in Flatwoods

*Vendor Marie in Whitespring resort, take the elevator to Whitespring mall, Le Grand Gourmet store

 

 

 

Cats in Fallout 76?

Yes, there is at least one cat in the game. Cheswick II was seen looking out the window, perhaps waiting for its long lost owner.

 

 

There are some animal and cat items in the game's Atomic shop. Here's just some of them. 

 

You can buy Grey Tabby Cat as your camp cat. You can interact with the cat with commands pet, speak and sit.

 

 

And there are also some other cat themed things in the game, as seen in the pictures in this post. 

 

 

 

Animals in Fallout 76

The animals I have encountered in Fallout 76 so far are: cat, dog, cow, radstag doe, chicken, frog.

 

 

 

Fallout 76 is NOT a multiplayer game!

Here is a warning for those who are looking for a nice game to play together with a friend. 

Fallout 76 is said to be a multiplayer game. In reality it is not. It is a single player game. 

Most the missions and quests you have to do solo. What's the point of having multiplayer/co-op when in reality you can't do missions together? 

If you try do the quests together only the team leader gets progress in the mission. If you want do any missions you absolutely have to do them alone/solo.

 

How to become an alcoholic

It's easy to become addicted to alcohol in this game. Just drink booze too much and too often. Then you get negative status effects when you don't drink alcohol often enough.

Beware though, some foods can cure random addictions. Unfortunately this happened to me, and I had to work my way back to alcoholism. 

 

 

 

Fallout 76: Field Medic trophy

The easiest way of doing this with a friend is to go to a lookout tower. When a player jumps down from the tower they get the critically injured status. Then you can just revive them by pressing X.

 

 

happier times... happier cows... 

 

 

Fallout 76 is the type of game I would never play alone. It would be much more fun with a friend if the quests could be actually done in co-op.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town - Review (PS5)

I get commissions for purchases made through the links in this post, at no cost to you.

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town  is, despite its name, a Harvest Moon game. For some reason at some point the name of the Harvest Moon games was changed to Story of Seasons. Currently Olive Town is free to play on Playstation Plus Extra.

 

 

I never got past the beginning of the second year in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life because it's such a damn boring game. And so is this one, even though it has tried to copy some of the finest things from the highly entertaining My time at Portia. 

 

Yes, you can still get addicted to Olive Town, even though it is a numbing repetition of the same things, and there are about a million times fewer story missions than in Portia. But a word of warning, in the end the game is just a boring grind. 

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town orichalcum

And mining the last mineral of the game, orichalcum, is very slow and even difficult at first, as it can only be obtained from the lowest levels of the last mine, which are full of annoying and dangerous electric orcs. Later in the game you can get orichalcum easier from a place where it respawns every few days (Stonebreaker Valley).

 

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town romance

 

There aren't that many bachelors/marriage candidates to choose from, and I didn't really like any of them. To be able to marry in Olive Town, you have to go through the character's romantic heart events. They happen at specific times at specific places. Good look finding them without a guide (wiki is always a good source).

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Damon

I chose Damon as my husband for some reason, although I don't normally prefer blondes. He gives that bad boy vibe, which I don't like. He likes motorcycles, and I don't. But he does work at his family's animal shop, so that is a plus. He's also like me because he prefers the company of animals over people.

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town child

You shouldn't be on too good terms with your spouse because then a child will mysteriously appear from somewhere. My dear husband had no idea how that could happen. Maybe you shouldn't get married if you don't know where babies come from?

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town animals

The best part of the game are of course the animals. Horse, cows, sheep, chickens, alpacas, goats, bunnies. I'm not even sure that I have listed them all.

 

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town pets

You can buy pets from the animal shop. I named the white cat Olle after my own white cat (sadly she passed away recently). Of course you can choose your own cat from many options.

 

Olle is such a happy free-range cat that you get envious when you watch her running freely outside.

 

And then when there were 11 animals plus Olle, I just couldn't take care of them every day anymore, especially since I couldn't fit all their loots to my bag at the same time, and had to go back and forth for them. And towards the end, it also started to be a real problem that the sales box could no longer fit all the stuff that I wanted to sell on that day.

 

So in the end it was just a boring repetitive daily grind. Too many animals (I didn't even know there could be too many), and too much stuff they produce. And above all, too little main story. As you can see, only honest reviews here.

Some people enjoy cozy games like this. I want more action, like in My Time at Sandrock. In my opinion that game is close to perfection.

 

Ps. The joke is that my character's name Ripuli means diarrhea.
