This apartment offers more flexibility for personalization compared to the others and holds a special surprise in the form of a pet cat named Nibbles. Despite not being documented in any mission logs or indicated on the map, this delightful addition is easily overlooked. Follow this guide to locate the enchanting feline companion for V's apartment.
Finish Playing for Time

This particular mission entails a captivating conversation with Takemura that takes place at Tom's Diner. Upon successfully accomplishing this mission, players are granted the freedom to delve deeper into the expansive open world of Night City.

Find Cat Food
Go to the Vendor at Kabuki Market
: Cat food is readily available in Night City and can be found in many places. Players should check their consumables tab in the backpack for any previously acquired cat food. If none is found, they will have to purchase some.Among the various food vendors in Night City, the one nearest to the apartment can be found at Kabuki Market, just north of the apartment building. To locate it, look for the adjacent fast travel station or undertake 'The Gift' side mission, which is assigned by T-Bug in the early stages of the game. The cat food available there is extremely affordable, and you only require one unit to fulfill this task.
Place the Cat Food in the Bowl
Return to the Alleyway
: After returning to the bowl, a prompt will appear, instructing the player to set the food down. To pass the time, the player has the option to engage in a mission or rest in bed at the apartment. Allowing approximately 12 hours to elapse will ensure the cat's arrival.Upon returning to the alleyway, Johnny Silverhand will eventually take notice of the cat's presence. Approaching it will then transport players to their apartment, where they will find the cat snugly settled in a cozy little bed near their sleeping quarters. This delightful encounter grants players the opportunity to have the pet cat join them in their apartment, as well as the ability to capture its charm in the game's photo mode. By activating photo mode, players can locate the option to include Nibbles the cat, allowing for memorable poses alongside V.
