by

You might think *Destiny: Rising* is just about powerful Guardians, exciting combat, and collecting gear, but there’s more to it than that. Scattered throughout Haven, you’ll find some adorable surprises: cats! That’s right, the game includes cats as a charming little side detail.

This guide will help you find all the cats in *Destiny: Rising*. We’ll show you where they are, how to interact with them, and what you’ll get as a reward. Finding these cats isn’t just a fun extra thing to do – it’s part of completing everything the game has to offer! Whether you’re a completionist, love cats, or enjoy finding hidden secrets, this guide has you covered.

Where to Find Cats in Destiny: Rising

You can find cats in Destiny 2: The Final Shape only in the Haven area, which is the main place to meet other players and interact with vendors. There aren’t many cats, and usually only four or fewer will appear each day. They’ll show up in a couple of specific locations around Haven.

To help you find them, cats are shown as a small circle on your minimap. Just be aware that this icon won’t show up when you open the full map. Here’s a list of all the cat locations we’ve found in Haven so far:

  • Ramen shop west of Plaza: beside the shopkeeper.
  • Haven’s Entrance: next to the flowers and benches.
  • South Plaza, near Lady Skorri: beside the orange and white flowers.
  • Northwest of the Armory: on Bazinet, the gunsmith’s counter.
  • Center of the Bazaar: check the northern stall with vessels; the cat appears on the table.
  • South of the Archives: at the base of a statue near Destination Ops Guide.
  • West of the Garden: near a food stand with boxes.
  • Speaker’s Garden: where pink flowers grow on higher ground.
  • Far southeast corner of the map: in the cozy area with rugs and seats above the “Bonfire” icon.
  • Plaza staircase (west side): right at the top, before the room with paintings.
  • At Donovan-17’s shop: in the corner left of the monitors and lights.
  • Throne Room entrance: by a torch on the right side before you walk in.
  • Southeast of the Armory: beside a blue wall with signs.
  • South of the Bazaar: near flowers and cushions.

Because the cats that appear each day change, you won’t find them all at the same time. The best way to find them is to take a quick walk around Haven before starting your missions. It only takes a few minutes, and you might also discover vendors, special events with characters, or other fun things while you’re exploring.

While you’re busy fighting enemies and completing missions, you can also find and care for adorable animals – you can pet them and even feed them fish! This fun addition makes the world of Destiny: Rising feel more vibrant and encourages you to take your time and really explore everything it has to offer.

How to Feed and Pet Cats in Destiny: Rising

Discovering a cat is just the start – the real enjoyment comes from interacting with it! When you see a cat, simply approach and use the Pet prompt. This will bring up a menu with two choices.

  • Pet the Cat – The classic option. Petting a cat triggers an animation of your Guardian showing them some love. The first time you do this, you’ll also complete a New Light Challenge, which rewards you with 500 Glimmer and Valiant Ground. Not bad for a quick cuddle.
  • Feed the cat – Cats aren’t just here for scratches; they also want snacks. You can feed them fish you’ve caught, adding another layer of progression to this mini-system. After petting a cat, a small notification will pop up telling you what type of fish the cat prefers, so you know what to hunt down next.

Rewards obtained from Petting Cats in Destiny: Rising

Running after cats in Haven might seem like a fun little distraction, but Destiny: Rising actually gives you rewards for doing it, making it worthwhile.

  • Glimmer and resources: Easy early-game currency for completing the first challenges.
  • Triumph and Handbook progress: Petting and feeding cats contribute to your achievement goals.
  • Lumia Leaves: Yes, you get 5 Lumia leaves from petting and feeding the cats in Haven.
  • A Cat’s Thank You Gift: You also receive a gift after you feed the cat the fish it wanted. And this gift gives you a random reward, including a Bon Voyage Charm.

It’s not just about getting loot, honestly. There’s something *really* satisfying about finally beating a tough mission, heading back to the Tower, and seeing my cat chilling near the ramen shop, wanting some pets. That’s what I love about Destiny – it mixes these huge, intense space battles with these small, everyday moments that just make the whole experience feel special.

Final Thoughts

Finding and petting cats in *Destiny: The Final Shape* is a surprisingly enjoyable part of the game, whether you’re focused on collecting items or just relaxing. There are twelve different places you might find them, and interacting with them is simple and satisfying. Plus, it even connects to the game’s fishing system, making the cats feel like a natural part of the world rather than just hidden secrets.

Next time you’re visiting Haven, slow down and enjoy the little things – the flowers, the ramen shops, and the statues. Be sure to follow the cat icon on your map and spend a moment petting the adorable cats! Even Guardians need to relax, and what better way to unwind than with a furry friend?
