Whether it’s in Mondstadt, Liyue, or Inazuma, travelers will always encounter these adorable pets hanging out in front of a feeding bowl, waiting for some good food to come their way.

Visit the location as shown above and you’ll see a huge boulder surrounded by four small rocks, forming a paw shape. Approach the cat on one of the rocks and feed it with the Kitty Meal.
