In the Roblox horror survival experience 7 Days Cat-Sitting (also referred to as 7 Days Cat Sitting) by HELP ME PLEASE studios, routine pet-sitting chores are frequently interrupted by bizarre anomalies. Among the most dangerous recurring threats is Granny, an eerie elderly woman who appears outside your front door. If you do not react properly, she will break inside and instantly end your run.
Whether your goal is to survive all seven nights for the Cannon Good Ending or deliberately collect the "Granny is Here" badge, this guide explains how the Granny anomaly works, how to survive her visit, and how to trigger her specific ending.
What Is the Granny Anomaly?
The Granny event typically announces itself with loud knocking at the front entrance of the house. When looking through the glass of the front door, you will spot an elderly woman peering inside.
If you take a photo of her with your in-game phone (pressed using P on PC) and send it to the homeowner, the text response is urgent: "Just avoid the hallway. Do it now."
Unlike standard intruders who simply enter if the door is left unlocked overnight, Granny operates on an active encounter timer. Even if the front door is locked, she can force entry, charge straight through the front hallway, and patrol across the living space before exiting.
How to Survive Granny's Visit
Surviving Granny requires immediate situational awareness and quick movement away from open areas. Players documenting their successful runs follow these strict steps:
- Do not open the door: Never interact with the front door handle while she is knocking.
- Clear the main hallway immediately: As soon as you hear front-door knocking or spot Granny outside, retreat into a back room (such as the bedroom or laundry room) and stay well away from the central corridor.
- Turn off the lights: Several gameplay recordings show that Granny's appearance often overlaps with or immediately precedes a rapid breathing sound or monochrome entity. If you leave lights on in the room you occupy, the game triggers a death screen stating, "It saw you with the lights on." Turn off nearby light switches and lamps.
- Remain hidden until she leaves: Granny will walk directly through the hallway. Do not cross her path. Wait inside your closed room until the knocking ceases and the house falls silent. When the threat has passed, the owner will text: "It's gone. You can turn the lights back on."
- Resume daily chores: Once the encounter ends, ensure the front door remains locked, verify all lights are handled according to your nightly routine, feed Whiskers, clean the litter box, eat your dinner, and collect the mail before heading to bed.
How to Unlock the "Granny Is Here" Ending Badge
7 Days Cat-Sitting features 24 official Roblox badges corresponding to different endings and failure states. One of these badges is named Granny is Here.
According to community walkthroughs and gameplay result screens, unlocking the badge requires getting caught by Granny during her active event:
- Complete your routine daily care for Whiskers so you do not fail prematurely to chores like starvation or missed litter box duties.
- When Granny begins knocking at the front door, walk directly toward the entrance or open the door for her.
- Alternatively, stand directly in the center of the hallway when she enters.
- Once Granny reaches your character, the encounter triggers the failure screen and awards the Granny is Here badge to your Roblox profile.
Granny vs. Other Hallway and Door Anomalies
Because multiple events take place near doors and hallways in 7 Days Cat-Sitting, it is easy to confuse Granny with other threats. The table below outlines how to distinguish them based on community guides:
| Anomaly Name | Visual / Audio Cue | Safe Survival Action | Associated Badge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granny | Loud knocking at front door; old woman visible through door glass. | Stay out of the hallway, hide in a room, and do not open the door. | Granny is Here |
| Tall Man | A tall, gangly dark figure standing silently in the hallway. | Pull out your phone and snap a photograph of him to make him vanish. | Peek a boo |
| Rapid Breathing / Monochrome | Heavy breathing audio; screen warnings; dark figure lurking. | Turn off all lights in every room and stay in the dark. | Lights Out |
| Intruder | No daytime knocking; player goes to sleep with the front door unlocked. | Always interact with the front door lock before getting into bed. | Intruder Alert |
| Prank Door | A mysterious new door suddenly appears in the back hallway. | Do not interact with or open the strange door. | Pranked |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you stop Granny from entering by locking the door?
Player tests show that locking the front entrance does not keep Granny out indefinitely once her event triggers. While locking the door is necessary to prevent the separate "Intruder Alert" bedtime ending, Granny will bypass the lock if you stand near the entrance. The required countermeasure is moving away from the hallway into a side room until she leaves.
Why do I keep dying after Granny enters even when hiding?
If you die after Granny enters the house, you likely left a light switch on in your room. Players frequently encounter an overlapping light mechanic where entities spot you if rooms remain illuminated. Switch off lights and lamps in your hiding spot until the owner texts that the area is clear.
Does Granny appear on a specific night?
Community playthroughs show Granny appearing as early as Night 1 or Night 2, as well as later in the week. The order of daily events can vary across individual runs. Always monitor the front door glass whenever knocking sounds occur.
