Judgment is a spin-off title of Ryu Ga Gotoku's popular Yakuza franchise. It's set in the same fictional city of Kamurocho and sees players stepping into the role of private detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates the serial killer known as "the Mole". A lot of the gameplay is familiar to fans of the Yakuza series, and there are plenty of quirky and interesting sidequests for players to explore.
One of the optional tasks that players can undertake is finding all of the stray cats throughout their playthrough, which when completed, will unlock the "Oh Look, a Cat!" accolade. You can look for cats during Active Search Mode sequences at specific points of the storyline. These cats only appear at exact times, making them and their related accolade missable. Fortunately for you, we've got a full guide here on where to find each one.
Finding Cats
The cats that count towards the "Oh Look, a Cat!" accolade are only ever found during Active Search Mode sequences related to the main storyline, and there are 14 to find in total. There are other cats that you need to find as part of various sidequests, but they do not count towards the accolade, so we will not be covering them here.
While in Active Search Mode, if there is a cat nearby then you will hear it meowing, giving you a clue to their presence. Move the screen around to locate the cat and then "Focus" on it to get the "Examine" prompt. Examining each cat will count it towards your collection tally.
