Snap the Cat How to Complete All Achievements
A structured approach to earning every achievement in Snap the Cat.
Snap the Cat has 49 Steam achievements covering collection, milestones, photography, and completion. This guide helps you plan your achievement run and identifies which achievements are most commonly missed.
Achievement categories
Collection achievements require owning a specific number of cats or costumes. These are earned naturally through playing and purchasing packs. The main risk is not buying enough packs before completing the game.
Follower achievements are earned at specific follower milestones. These are the most straightforward to plan — you simply need to keep growing your follower base until you hit each threshold.
Photography achievements require taking photos under specific conditions, in specific biomes, or with specific cats. These are the most commonly missed category because they require deliberate attention.
Session achievements are earned through playing a certain number of sessions, reaching payout milestones, or maintaining streaks. These are difficult to miss if you play the game normally.
Completion achievements require finishing the main story, reaching 100% followers, and completing New Game+.
The most commonly missed achievements
Based on community reports, the achievements players miss most often are:
Brush cats — requires brushing a cat. This is a tutorial-level action that many players skip without realising it unlocks an achievement. If you have not done this, go to your first cat and interact with the brush tool.
Photography-specific achievements — several achievements require taking photos with specific cats or in specific biomes that are easy to skip if you rush through content. Review the full achievement list before starting your final push.
Session variety achievements — some achievements require taking photos in all biomes or with all costume types equipped. If you have been farming one biome exclusively, you may have missed these.
A structured approach
The safest way to 100% the achievement list:
- Play naturally through the main game, taking photos in each new biome as you unlock it
- Before each major milestone push, review which achievements you still need
- Prioritise any photography achievements that require specific conditions you have not yet met
- Buy packs regularly to keep the collection growing — do not save all pack purchases for the end
- Before triggering the credits, confirm all 49 achievements are visible in your Steam overlay
- Trigger the ending and immediately check for any post-credits achievements
New Game+ achievements
Several achievements are only obtainable in New Game+. These are primarily session-count achievements and milestone achievements that reset with a new save. Plan at least one New Game+ run if you are going for full completion.

Are any achievements permanently missable? The community has found no permanently missable achievements. Everything can be obtained with a New Game+ if missed.
Do achievements track across saves? Steam achievements are per-profile, not per-save. If you earn an achievement on one save, it is registered for your profile.
