TOEM 2 Cat — Missing Cat Quest and Where to Find It

The TOEM 2 cat most players search for is tied to a single stamp quest called Missing Cat, given by the farmer on the far left of the Cropten map. His cat is not wandering: it is hiding in a flower pot, and the trick is to focus on the flower rather than to shoot a normal photo. Cats also appear elsewhere in the world and count toward the critter compendium that runs across all four regions.

Where Is the Missing Cat in TOEM 2?

Cropten is the only region with a documented missing-cat quest. The farmer stands on the far left of the map, and the walkthrough gives a short, exact instruction: his missing cat is hiding in a flower pot, so focus on the flower to find it, then take a photo and bring it back to him. There is no combat, no chase and no timer involved.

Detail	Documented answer
Region	Cropten
Quest giver	The farmer on the far left of the map
Hiding place	A flower pot
How to reveal it	Focus on the flower, not a normal snapshot
Turn-in	Take the photo back to the farmer
Reward	A Cropten stamp
Achievement link	Flourishing Fulfillment, then Stamp Savant

Because Cropten only needs roughly half or fewer of its stamps to unlock the next region, it is easy to leave Missing Cat behind on a fast run and then have to come back for the Cropten clear achievement.

How to Photograph the Cat

The focus interaction is the whole puzzle. In TOEM 2 the camera is a multitool, and several quests only resolve when you hold the focus on a suspect object long enough for the game to reveal what is hidden. The cat in the flower pot is one of those: focus on the flower, wait for the reveal, then take the shot.

• Stand close enough that the flower pot fills the camera view before focusing.
• Use the focus feature on the flower rather than firing a snapshot immediately.
• Wait for the game to show the cat, then take the photo.
• Carry the photo back to the farmer to bank the stamp.
• Do it before leaving Cropten, or plan a return trip for the Cropten clear.

Other Cats and Critters

Cats are not confined to one quest. Full-game footage shows the player repeatedly noticing the same cat around the world and wondering whether it means something, which puts cats in the same category as the other recurring creatures you photograph for the compendium. GameRant counts 68 compendium critters in TOEM 2, and photographing all of them unlocks Collect Them All. Homelanda alone has four animals to photograph, and each region adds its own set.

The named cat entries in the compendium are not fully documented in the available sources, so any claim about a specific number of cats is left unstated here rather than guessed. What is documented about the wider cat and critter picture:

• Homelanda has four animals to photograph, per the walkthrough's own screenshot set.
• GameRant counts 68 compendium critters across the whole game.
• Photographing every critter unlocks Collect Them All.
• Cats recur around the world beyond the Missing Cat quest, as seen in full-game footage.
