During a playthrough of the Roblox horror survival title 7 Days Cat-Sitting, ordinary household chores can abruptly halt when a grating audio cue plays and the word HIDE flashes on the screen. Knowing the correct 7 Days Cat Sitting hiding place is critical to keeping your run alive and earning the game's Canon Good Ending.
Here is an explanation of where to hide, how the HIDE event works, and how your choice ties directly to specific badges.
Where Is the 7 Days Cat Sitting Hiding Place?
According to third-party walkthroughs from Gamezebo and the community wiki, the designated safe hiding place during the HIDE event is any rear room in the house with the door shut.
When the warning triggers, take the following steps:
- Move Away from Entryways: Immediately break away from the front door and the central hallways.
- Enter a Back Room: Run toward one of the rear rooms of the house.
- Shut the Door: Turn around and close the door completely behind you.
- Wait for Safety Cues: Remain inside until the event concludes before opening the door to resume your daily tasks.
The official Roblox game page created by HELP ME PLEASE studios does not publish exact room coordinates or mechanics. Community guides emphasize that staying inside a back room behind a closed door is the established method to survive the event.
How to Survive the HIDE Event vs. Unlocking Found You
Your response to the on-screen alert determines whether your run continues toward the good ending or terminates in an alternate badge.
The Survival Route (Canon Good Ending)
To complete the full week and unlock the official Cannon Good Ending badge, you must survive every anomaly that interrupts your care routine. When the HIDE alert appears:
- Drop current tasks like feeding Whiskers, cleaning the litter box, or eating dinner.
- Retreat to a back room and shut the door.
- Do not leave early simply because the grating sound briefly pauses; wait until the threat has cleared before going back out.
- Double-check that your essential daily chores are finished before interacting with the bed to sleep.
The Failure Route (Found You Badge)
The official Roblox badge list includes an ending titled Found You. According to the community walkthroughs, this badge is directly tied to the HIDE warning:
- If you remain out in the open, fail to enter a rear room, or leave the door open after the prompt appears, the entity catches you.
- Intentionally staying exposed during this alert is the method used by badge collectors to log the Found You ending into their 24-badge checklist.
Do Not Confuse HIDE with Other House Anomalies
Several events in 7 Days Cat-Sitting involve intruders or figures in the hallways. Community guides document specific, distinct counters for each:
| Anomaly Sign | Required Action | Related Bad Ending If Ignored |
|---|---|---|
| "HIDE" flashes on screen with a grating sound | Move to a rear room and close the door | Found You |
| A tall, gangly figure stands in the hallway | Take a photo of it using your phone | Peek a Boo |
| An old woman knocks and peers through the front door | Stay away from the hallway until knocking stops | Granny Is Here |
| A head sticks out of the toilet bowl | Flush the toilet | Down the Drain |
| A pale face gazes through the window | Close the window curtains | I See You |
| Darkness outside and the mailbox disappears | Close all blinds in the house | Voided |
Because running into the hallway during the Granny event or the Tall Man event can cause failure, always verify which anomaly is active before reacting. The HIDE event is unique because of its explicit on-screen text and harsh alarm sound.
Routine Checklist After Hiding
Once the hiding sequence ends, resume your daily checklist to avoid triggering one of the chore-based endings before sleeping:
- Whiskers' Care: Ensure food is in the bowl, the litter box minigame in the laundry room is completed, and the laser pointer bar in the living room is fully filled.
- House Security: Retrieve the mail outside, then close and lock the front door.
- Personal Needs: Retrieve the microwave dinner from the refrigerator, close the fridge door, microwave the meal, and eat it.
- Appliance Check: Ensure the stove is turned off and the television is not left running overnight unless handling a specific creature event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which room counts as a rear room for hiding?
Walkthroughs advise using any of the rooms located toward the back of the house away from the main entrance, ensuring the door is fully closed behind you.
What happens if you do not hide?
Failing to hide when the prompt appears results in a run failure and awards the Found You badge.
Does the official Roblox game page document the hiding mechanic?
No. The official Roblox description lists the 24 badges—including Found You and Cannon Good Ending—but does not outline puzzle solutions. The rear-room strategy is documented by community guides and player walkthroughs.
