In the Roblox horror survival experience 7 Days Cat-Sitting by HELP ME PLEASE studios, surviving the week requires maintaining a strict daily chore checklist while defending against bizarre anomalies. If you deviate from the required care routine, the game redirects you to one of over twenty alternate failure endings, each tied to a specific badge.
The 7 Days Cat Sitting intruder alert badge is an early-game ending awarded when an entity breaks into the house overnight because you failed to secure the front entrance. According to verified gameplay screens and community walkthroughs, the failure screen explicitly states: "Intruder Alert: You went to bed without locking the front door."
How to Trigger the Intruder Alert Ending
You can earn this badge on any night, including Night 1, by completing your regular tasks but deliberately skipping the lock interaction on the front door.
- Feed and tend to Whiskers: Retrieve the cat food from the kitchen cupboard, fill Whiskers' bowl, wait for the cat to use the litter box in the laundry room, and drag the waste into the trash bag.
- Complete playtime: Pick up the laser pointer in the living room and guide the cat until the blue play meter fills.
- Feed yourself: Take your dinner plate from the refrigerator, close the fridge door, heat the food in the microwave, and consume it.
- Collect the mail: Open the front door, walk out to the mailbox to grab the daily letter, and close the mailbox.
- Close—but do not lock—the front door: Walk back inside and shut the front door. Crucially, do not click the prompt to lock it.
- Go to sleep: Head into the bedroom and interact with the bed to sleep.
Once you sleep, a shadowy intruder enters the premises, ending your run and awarding the "Intruder Alert" badge to your Roblox profile.
Front Door Action Comparison
Several endings in 7 Days Cat-Sitting occur right at the entrance. Because retrieving mail, closing the entrance, and locking up feel like a single routine chore, players often confuse which mistake triggers which badge.
| Badge / Outcome | Mail Status | Door State | Lock State | Resulting End Screen Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intruder Alert | Collected | Closed | Unlocked | You went to bed without locking the front door. |
| Cya Later | Collected | Open | Irrelevant | You went to bed with the door open, allowing Whiskers to escape. |
| Evicted | Uncollected | Closed | Locked | You went to bed without collecting the mail. |
| Cannon Good Ending Route | Collected | Closed | Locked | Standard survival procedure; no entrance penalty applied. |
Common Mistakes and Competing Anomalies
To ensure your run awards the Intruder Alert badge rather than a different failure screen, keep the unlocked front door as your single deliberate omission.
Do Not Leave the Door Open
Interacting with the door opens it, but walking back inside does not always shut it automatically. If you leave the door swinging open, the game prioritizes the Cya Later ending because Whiskers runs away into the night. Ensure the door model is completely closed before heading to bed.
Watch Out for the Granny Anomaly
If an anomaly event triggers while you are dealing with the entrance, an elderly woman may appear outside the glass, knocking aggressively. Walkthroughs note that standing in the hallway or opening the door during this knock awards the separate Granny is Here badge. If Granny appears, step away from the hallway until the knocking subsides before executing your test.
Finalize Secondary Chores
7 Days Cat-Sitting checks all pre-bed conditions upon sleeping. If you forget to heat and eat your dinner, you will trigger Starved. If you leave the refrigerator open, you will trigger Cold as Ice. If you leave the litter box dirty, you will get Uh oh Stinky. Complete every routine chore normally and leave only the door lock undone.
