Neko Atsume: Saint Purrtrick

Saint Purrtrick is one of the “Rare Cats” in Neko Atsume. It is more difficult to get a “Rare Cat” to visit your Neko Atsume yard/home than it is to get the more common cats to visit. The best way to convince a “Rare Cat” to visit is to place an item that the specific cat likes.

Saint Purrtrick will visit you if you put the Kotatsu somewhere in your Neko Atsume yard/home. He also likes the Silk Crepe Pillow. It took a long time before Saint Purrtrick decided to visit me. Fortunately, may other Neko Atsume cats will play with the Kotatsu and the Silk Crepe Pillow.

A Kotatsu is a commonly used item in Japan. The history of it goes back to the 14th century. Today’s kotatsu is movable and can be placed anywhere in the home. It is a table that has a quilt over it and a heating unit underneath it. People sit on a cushion that has been placed on the floor and pull the quilt around them. The kotatsu provides a nice place to sit and keep warm when the weather is cold.

Saint Purrtrick likes to sit on top of the Kotatsu. He is a white, fuzzy looking cat with yellow eyes and three bobbed tails. If you look him up in the Catbook, Saint Purrtrick is described as “Ethereal”.

The Kotatsu can be purchased in the Neko Atsume Shop for 60 gold fish. It is described as: “A Japanese-style heated table made just for cats, especially in the winter. Good luck getting them out from underneath it!”

The Neko Atsume cats will share the Kotatsu with each other.
