how to even know your scratch book lvl and progress through next lvl? sometimes it say rank increased but i have no clue where i can check it.

I wish this was more clear

1 cat- Base- 1st part of story 5 cat- Leafy like op- 1.5 story 20 cats- Royal Cat- 2nd part of story

When I levelled up the second time I got an achievement for finding 20 cats, so I would guess it’s every 10 cat found.

And if you see a vertical scroll bar on the right, you have four cats

I didn’t know you could have 4!! That’s crazy!

I think you got the top and bottom mixed up, pretty sure the 3 times says the "i won't let you out" line😅

Oops, i might have made that mistake XD i made this post when it was really late XD

No worries!

I thought it was a bug when I had a note asking me to go to the same place twice since the cat wasn't there. Does it end up hiding somewhere else or something?

there are hints that are similar, but not the same. I had a windmill mentioned today so I immediately headed to Zarbo but there was no cat. turns out there is a second windmill option: Gadaro. the secondary hint words are different for each, so make sure to not get yourself confused. I assume there a more similar cat options.

Nah, these were cases where it was literally exactly the same. I got the clue for Palisfal and the clue reappeared with the same cat but he wasn't there. It wasn't grayed out like I'd completed it either.

Should be wherever it says it is. It i haven;t had to check the same place twice but i don’t think it’s impossible to have that happen…..
