Last Updated: November 4, 2025
Heist Kitty: Cats Go a Stray

Faction Hats, Fashion Clout

Unlockables

Join the Meowfia or Purrlice and you’ll snag that faction’s signature hat. It’s both style and a handy identifier of where your loyalties lie this run.

Harmony Shop Exclusives

Unlockables

Earn Harmony Points by helping other players (especially those on story beats) and spend them on a different set of hats and masks than the Chaos shop. Think co-op rewards with practical boosts.

Chaos Shop Drip

Unlockables

Break things, cause mayhem, and rack up Chaos Points to access a distinct pool of cosmetics. Hitting thresholds—like 5000 for the big achievement—unlocks more options.

Diver’s Hat: Bye-Bye Water Damage

Unlockables

Grab the Diver’s Hat from the Harmony shop and swim like you own the ocean. It negates water damage, which is a massive upgrade in a world where cats normally suffer in deep puddles.

By: Dave

Gear You Unlock Through the Story

Unlockables

Push the main missions to open up new weapon types and equipment. Bosses like the MechaPug and the Dogfather drop unique rewards, and each faction path exposes different gear opportunities.

Cat Creator: Make Your Feline

Unlockables

Play with the Cat Creator to build your own look—body types, fur patterns, colors, eye options, the whole deal. Crafting a kitty nets an achievement, and swapping styles keeps the chaos fresh.

Cool Cat in the Shades

Easter Eggs

There’s a playable feline rocking tiny Matrix-style sunglasses. It’s a straight-up nod to the classic film and one of many pop-culture winks scattered around town. Keep your eyes peeled—nearly every NPC hides a pun or a cat joke somewhere.

By: Dave

Meet Nic Tailsla, Your Claw-ver Inventor

Easter Eggs

Say hello to Nic Tailsla, the game’s resident tinkerer. It’s a purrfect parody of Nikola Tesla, and he’s the cat who helps you build and upgrade gadgets and weapons as you progress.

By: Dave

Meowfoy Locked Up (Again)

Easter Eggs

Fans of the devs’ older game might stumble onto Meowfoy tucked in a cage, cracking jokes and connecting the studio’s little shared universe. It’s a neat callback for returning players—and a quirky surprise for newcomers.

By: Dave

The Goblin Off the Grid

Easter Eggs

Launch yourself outside the city limits using the game’s chaotic traversal and you’ll find a lone goblin camped in a tent. It’s an off-map gag that rewards creative physics shenanigans.

By: Dave

Fire the Chicken Cannon

Easter Eggs

Find a chicken on the beach and score a hit with a cannon to unlock a hidden achievement. Yes, it’s ridiculous. Yes, it’s very on-brand for Heist Kitty’s slapstick humor.

That RC Helicopter Mission...

Glitches

The Purrlice route’s RC helicopter mission handles rough. Expect finicky inputs and a higher-than-expected fail rate. It’s notorious and still unpatched, so bring patience (and maybe a snack).

By: Dave

Stuff Disappears When You Enter Buildings

Glitches

There’s a hard de-spawn/reset when you go in and out of interiors. Items and vehicles you parked outside can vanish or respawn elsewhere. Avoid stashing valuables in tight or odd spots before stepping indoors.

By: Dave

One Button, Too Many Jobs

Glitches

The same button handles climbing, entering vehicles, and controlling humans. In the heat of the moment, you’ll trigger the wrong action a lot. Slow your approach and line up angles to reduce misinputs.

By: Dave

Not Every Car Is Stealable

Glitches

Some vehicles are just scenery. There’s no clear indicator, so you’ll sometimes waste time trying every door. If it won’t let you in after a couple tries, move on to the next set of wheels.

By: Dave

Cats Hate Water, Humans Don’t

Glitches

It’s intended, but it feels odd: cats take water damage, humans don’t. Use people as ferries to cross safely—or snag the Diver’s Hat later to ignore the hazard entirely.

By: Dave

Bigger on the Inside

Glitches

Some interiors don’t match their exterior footprint and feel much larger inside. It’s disorienting, but treat it like weird cat magic—or a level design quirk—and you’ll be fine.

By: Dave

Ride the Humans

Hints

You can jump onto humans and steer them. Why do this?

  • Speed: They’re faster than you.
  • Shield: They soak enemy fire like champs.
  • Water taxi: Cats take water damage, humans don’t—so ride them across rivers like furry captains.
By: Dave

Stacking Cats and Car Launches

Hints

Heist Kitty’s traversal is gloriously chaotic.

  • Cat stack: Multiple players can pile onto one vehicle for co-op chaos.
  • Boost glitch: Spam jump while driving to rocket across the map.
  • Options galore: Climb almost anything, fire from cannons, hijack drones, and even ride certain enemies.
By: Dave

Skip the Fight, Win the Fight

Hints

Not every enemy needs a face full of steel. Often, you can:

  • Climb on enemies and steer them into hazards.
  • Avoid fights entirely with smart movement.
  • Use the world instead of your ammo.
By: Dave

Chaos vs. Harmony: Pick Your Vibe

Hints

Two parallel reward tracks cater to different moods:

  • Chaos: Break stuff, cause trouble, mash arcade cabinets.
  • Harmony: Help others and support story progress in co-op.

Both feed into special shops with hats and masks that come with gameplay buffs.

By: Dave

Hats That Actually Do Something

Hints

Hats aren’t just cosmetic. You can pick up gear that adds:

  • Armor for reduced damage
  • Speed boosts
  • Special perks like water immunity (hello, Diver’s Hat)

If you hate taking swim damage, Diver’s Hat is a must.

Meowfia or Purrlice? Choose Your Nine Lives

Guides

Early on, you pick a side—Purrlice or Meowfia—and the story shifts accordingly.

  • Purrlice: Academy training, squad cars, drones, and a rough RC helicopter mission folks love to hate.
  • Meowfia: Nightclubs, robberies, and a more varied quest feel.

They’re not true enemies; later story beats tie them together. Replay to see both angles.

Leveling and Loot 101

Guides

Keep an eye on your Journal to track XP and tasks. Spend XP on:

  • Magic: Cheaper spell casts
  • Armor: Less incoming damage

You’ll also juggle Chaos points and collect Candy as a side currency for various unlocks.

Build-A-Blaster with Tailsla

Guides

Early game, start hoarding parts for Nic Tailsla. You’ll:

  • Collect components from multiple locations
  • Assemble weapons and gadgets
  • Upgrade gear with found resources to keep damage and utility climbing
By: Dave
