Persona 3 Reload features numerous engaging side quests through Elizabeth's requests, offering valuable rewards and unique story interactions. One particularly memorable task is Request 42, which asks players to care for a stray feline in need of assistance. Successfully completing this objective requires a bit of daily commitment and proper preparation across several in-game days.
Unlocking Elizabeth's Cat Feeding Quest
Players can accept Elizabeth's Request 42, officially titled "Please feed the cat," starting on July 9th. This request becomes available alongside a new batch of Velvet Room tasks as you progress through the summer months. Understanding the timeline ensures you do not miss the opportunity to begin helping the feline early in the month.
Before attempting to locate the cat, players must gather the necessary supplies to nurture it back to health. The game does not explicitly mark the location of the required food, making preparation an essential first step. Ensuring you have enough yen on hand will save extra trips across Tatsumi Port Island.
Where to Buy Super Cat Food
To feed the stray cat, players must purchase specialized food from the Aohige Pharmacy located in Paulownia Mall. The item, known as Super Cat Food, becomes available in the store's inventory right after the request unlocks. Each tin costs 700 yen, and you will need to buy a total of four cans to fully complete the quest line.
Stocking up on all four cans during your initial shop visit is highly recommended to streamline the process. Having the full supply ready in your inventory prevents unnecessary backtracking later in the week. Once you have purchased the items, you can immediately set out to locate the animal.
Locating and Caring for the Weak Cat
The hungry feline can be found resting at the Port Island Station Outskirts area. Fast travel to this location during the daytime, as the cat will not appear during evening hours. Head toward the back alley entrance, where you will spot the weak cat waiting near the right side of the path.
Interact with the cat and select the option to offer it a tin of Super Cat Food. After feeding it, a prompt will indicate that the cat needs further care to fully regain its strength. You must return during the day for four consecutive days to feed it again until it is completely healed.
Completing Request 42 and Claiming Rewards
On the fourth day of feeding, a notification will confirm that the cat has regained all of its energy. This confirmation signals that you have fulfilled all requirements for the request. With the feline restored to health, you can make your way back to the Velvet Room entrance.
Speak with Elizabeth to turn in the quest and receive your reward, the Male Summer Garb outfit. This unique cosmetic item can be equipped on the protagonist through the outfit section in the equipment menu. Completing this request also helps clear the path for subsequent requests from Elizabeth later in the campaign.
