In Ubisoft's *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, players encounter a delightful variety of creatures, including the charming cats that have captured the hearts of many. If you're eager to discover the cat island in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, here's a detailed guide to help you find it.
How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to journey to the Omi region, typically around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and equipped to face the challenges ahead. Head northeast within the Omi region to reach your destination.
Your target is Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water central to the Omi region. For the smoothest journey, it's advisable to secure a boat from the nearby settlements of Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can opt to swim across the lake.

Navigate to the larger island situated in the middle of Lake Biwa, just northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima Island, which boasts a Kakurega where you can rest. Look out for the fish drying near the docks—a clear sign that this island is a haven for a particular type of animal.
To truly immerse yourself in the feline charm of Okishima, head north toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't miss the opportunity to pet them, as doing so will add these adorable creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are especially elusive and valuable.

While Leaps of Faith often unlock new locations on your map, the true treasure of Okishima is the companionship of these cats. After exploring and making your Leap of Faith into the haystack, there's little else to do here except enjoy the company of your new feline friends. You'll return to Okishima later in Yasuke's storyline, giving you another chance to visit this unique spot.
