Meet the Dice Hoarder Shop Cats
Dice Hoarder is a cozy dice-collecting shop simulator from DieCorp Games, and its shop cats are a big part of the healing vibe. Beyond looking adorable among the 400+ dice sets, each cat has its own location, interaction, and small reward. This guide covers every cat you'll meet behind the counter and why cozy-game fans keep coming back to them between sorting sessions.
| Cat | Location | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Counter Cat | Main shop counter | From the start |
| Storage Room Cat | Back storage room | Unlocked via inventory expansion |
| Window Sill Cat | Front window display | From the start |
| Evening Cat | Near shop entrance | After closing time only |
Don't treat the cats as pure decoration. Each interaction grants a small but real benefit — coins, cozy meter, customer tips, or mood boosts — that compounds over long play sessions.
All Shop Cat Locations and Interactions
Here is the full breakdown of each cat, where to find it, and exactly how to interact with it for the best results.
Counter Cat
- Location: Main shop counter
- Interaction: Pet between customer transactions
- Reward: Soft purr plus a small coin bonus
- Detail: Naps on the dice display case and occasionally knocks a die onto the floor for you to pick up
Storage Room Cat
- Location: Back storage room
- Unlock: Expand your inventory
- Interaction: Leave a treat; it naps on your dice crates
- Reward: Keeps the storage area's cozy meter up
- Detail: Fur color subtly shifts with the seasons — a favorite screenshot moment
Window Sill Cat
- Location: Front window display area
- Interaction: Ring the shop bell lightly
- Reward: It stretches and poses, attracting extra window shoppers who linger and sometimes tip more
Evening Cat
- Location: Near the shop entrance after closing
- Interaction: Pet it before ending the day
- Reward: A small mood boost the next morning
- Detail: The purring animation doubles as a relaxing end-of-day wind-down
The Evening Cat only appears after closing time. If you end your day immediately after the last customer, you'll miss the petting interaction and the next-morning mood boost entirely.
Daily Cat Routine: Step-by-Step
Build a simple loop around your cats so you never miss a bonus. This routine fits naturally into a normal restock-and-sort session.
Start at the Counter
Pet the Counter Cat between your first customer transactions to bank early coin bonuses before the rush.
Stock the Storage Room
While unpacking new dice crates, leave a treat for the Storage Room Cat so the cozy meter stays high during heavy sorting sessions.
Ring the Bell Lightly
Trigger the Window Sill Cat's pose before peak shopping hours so extra window shoppers arrive while shelves are full.
Close and Wind Down
After the last customer leaves, pet the Evening Cat near the entrance to secure the next-morning mood boost before ending the day.
Players who run this four-step loop every in-game day report noticeably smoother shop income and mood, since all four cat bonuses stack with your normal sales flow.
Cat Rewards Comparison
Each cat fills a different niche in your shop economy. Compare the benefits side by side to decide where your attention goes first.
| Cat | Effort | Immediate Reward | Long-Term Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counter Cat | Low | Coin bonus per pet | ★★★★★ |
| Storage Room Cat | Medium | Cozy meter maintained | ★★★★ |
| Window Sill Cat | Low | Extra shoppers, higher tips | ★★★★ |
| Evening Cat | Low (timing-based) | Next-morning mood boost | ★★★ |
If you're short on time, prioritize the Counter Cat for direct income and the Evening Cat for daily mood — both take seconds and cost nothing.
