In the Roblox horror survival experience 7 Days Cat-Sitting (also known as 7 Days Cat Sitting) by HELP ME PLEASE studios, your simple week-long pet-sitting job is constantly interrupted by bizarre occurrences and lethal cryptids. Among the game's 24 unlockable badges is Found You, an ending tied directly to one of the most abrupt threats in the house: the sudden HIDE event.
Whether you are trying to fill out your ending checklist or want to avoid getting caught during a Canon Good Ending run, this guide explains how the HIDE anomaly works, how to trigger the Found You badge, and how to safely survive the encounter.
How to Get the Found You Badge and Ending
The Found You badge is awarded when you fail to take proper cover during the in-game HIDE warning event. Unlike many of the chore-neglect endings—such as Starved, Uh Oh Stinky, or Evicted—this ending is triggered by an active anomaly during your daily routine.
To deliberately unlock the Found You badge:
- Keep up with your standard daytime chores: feed Whiskers, clear the litter box, play with the laser pointer, warm your dinner in the microwave, and grab the mail.
- Watch for the screen prompt: During the day or night, the word HIDE will flash across your screen accompanied by a grating, harsh sound cue.
- Stay exposed: Instead of retreating to safety, remain standing in the main living areas, hallway, or near the front door.
- Let the event resolve: The entity will locate you, ending your night immediately and granting the official Found You badge on your result screen.
Community walkthroughs note that once the HIDE sequence begins, it interrupts ordinary actions. You should focus solely on the failure condition rather than attempting to interact with appliances or pet supplies mid-event.
How to Survive the HIDE Event on a Good Ending Run
If your goal is surviving all seven nights to secure the Canon Good Ending, you must respond to the HIDE warning the moment it appears.
- Break line of sight immediately: Drop whatever chore you are doing and run away from the open living room, hallway, and front door.
- Retreat to a rear room: Head directly into one of the back rooms of the house.
- Shut the door behind you: Ensure the interior door is completely closed.
- Wait for danger to pass: Remain quiet inside the shut room until the threat clears and audio cues return to normal.
Once the anomaly has passed, step back out to complete any remaining responsibilities—such as locking the front door, feeding Whiskers, and eating your microwave dinner—before heading to bed.
Comparing HIDE to Other House Anomalies
Because several hallway and door anomalies occur throughout your seven-day stay, it is easy to confuse their counter-strategies. The following table contrasts HIDE with other common home threats documented by player guides.
| Anomaly | Visual and Audio Signs | Correct Survival Action | Failure Ending Badge |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIDE Entity | "HIDE" prompt on screen with a grating sound | Run into a back room and shut the door | Found You |
| The Tall Man | A tall, gangly figure standing in the hallway | Pull out your phone and take a photograph | Peek a boo |
| Granny | Knocking at the front door; old woman visible | Stay far away from the front door and hallway | Granny Is Here |
| Rapid Breathing | Audible rapid breathing cue inside the house | Turn off lights, close curtains, and wait in darkness | Lights Out |
| Window Looker | Pale face peering through a window | Walk over and close the curtains on that window | I See You |
Preventing Accidental Failures Before Bed
When hunting for specific event badges like Found You, make sure you do not trigger an unintended bad ending beforehand. If night falls and the HIDE event does not appear, maintain your daily checklist so your run does not end prematurely:
- Whiskers' Care: Take a food can from the kitchen cabinet to fill his bowl, open the laundry room door to clean the litter box via the trash-bag minigame, and use the laser pointer until the blue bar fills.
- Self Care: Take the meal tray from the refrigerator, heat it in the microwave, and eat dinner.
- House Security: Collect the mail from the exterior mailbox, lock the front door behind you, and shut the refrigerator door completely.
- Appliance Checks: Turn off the TV and ensure the stove is not left on before going to sleep.
Following this routine ensures that you stay alive long enough to encounter the HIDE warning when the random event cycle triggers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the Found You ending in 7 Days Cat-Sitting?
The Found You ending occurs when the on-screen prompt tells you to HIDE, but you fail to reach a safe, enclosed rear room before the entity catches you.
Does the HIDE prompt happen on a fixed day?
Guides and gameplay playthroughs show that anomalies appear dynamically across the week. If you do not see the prompt on your current day, continue your standard survival chores until the event rolls in the anomaly queue.
Can I hide near the front door to survive?
No. Walkthrough data specifically instructs players to stay clear of the front door and main hallway during the HIDE sequence, as those areas leave you fully exposed to the entity.
