In the Roblox horror survival experience 7 Days Cat-Sitting (also commonly called 7 Days Cat Sitting) by HELP ME PLEASE studios, your daily routine involves feeding Whiskers, scooping litter, eating your microwaved dinner, and checking the mail. However, disturbing anomalies constantly threaten your stay.
One of the sneakier hazards in the house is the misplaced furniture anomaly. Failing to handle this anomaly results in an immediate failure screen and awards the Misplaced badge. Whether you are hunting down all 24 badges or trying to preserve a clean run for the Canon Good Ending, understanding how this event works is essential.
What Triggers the Misplaced Ending?
The Misplaced ending occurs when you go to bed while a piece of furniture or a household fixture is out of its normal position. If you sleep without correcting the room, the night sequence cuts short with the failure prompt: "Failed misplaced. You went to bed while something was out of place."
Unlike loud threats like the street monster or rapid breathing in the dark, the misplaced anomaly is completely silent. Everyday items subtly shift across the house. Players have documented several specific variations during gameplay:
- The living room couch or sofa slides into the middle of the floor or blocks a hallway.
- A chair moves far away from its standard spot.
- The washing machine shifts or disappears from its place in the laundry room.
Because room layouts remain mostly consistent across your seven-day stay, spotting this anomaly requires comparing each room to its default setup before heading into the bedroom to sleep.
How to Counter the Misplaced Anomaly
If your goal is to survive the full week and achieve the Canon Good Ending, you must resolve the anomaly before going to sleep.
- Spot the anomaly: Do a quick room-by-room sweep of the living room, kitchen, laundry room, and bedroom after finishing your chores.
- Equip your phone: Pull out the in-game mobile phone interface.
- Photograph the item: Aim your camera at the shifted piece of furniture and take a picture.
- Wait for the owner's response: The homeowner will text back a message such as "How did that get there?"
- Verify the reset: Once the photo is sent, the out-of-place object will automatically snap back to its proper location or disappear.
Keep in mind that some players have encountered a bug where the phone icon disappears from the screen after using a revive. If your phone is missing from your interface, you will be unable to photograph the item to clear the anomaly.
How to Unlock the Misplaced Badge
To add the Misplaced badge to your Roblox profile, you must deliberately trigger this failure state while ensuring no other chores cause an early death first. Follow this checklist to set up a clean trigger:
- Feed Whiskers: Grab the cat food from the kitchen cabinet and fill Whiskers' bowl so you do not get the ghost cat ending (Unfinished Business).
- Clean the litter box: Open the laundry room door, wait for the cat to finish, and complete the bag minigame to prevent the Uh oh Stinky ending.
- Play with the cat: Use the laser pointer until the progress bar fills, making sure to avoid tight circles that trigger the Blackhole ending.
- Collect the mail and lock up: Grab the mail from the mailbox outside, step inside, and lock the front door to avoid Evicted or Intruder Alert.
- Feed yourself: Heat up the TV dinner in the microwave and consume it so you do not trigger Starved.
- Locate the shifted item: Confirm that an object (such as the sofa or washing machine) has moved out of place, but do not take a photo of it.
- Go to sleep: Click the bed to end the night. You will receive the Misplaced game-over screen and the corresponding Roblox badge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which furniture items can trigger the Misplaced ending?
There is no single fixed item. Players have reported the living room sofa shifting into the walkway, chairs moving away from tables, and laundry room appliances like the washing machine appearing out of place.
Can you fix a misplaced object without the phone?
No. The only verified method to return a moved object to its normal position is to take a photo of it with your in-game phone. If a glitch removes your phone tool after a revive, restarting the run is generally necessary.
Does the Misplaced anomaly happen on a specific night?
The anomaly can appear across various nights throughout the week. Because events can vary between playthroughs, you should inspect the entire house every evening before going to bed.
