Six Cats Under Puzzle Hints - Unstuck Nudges Without Spoilers

A hint should point, not solve. Below is the smallest useful nudge for every place runs stall in Six Cats Under — one sentence each — and only when the nudge is not enough do you follow the link to the full fix.

Nothing has happened yet — where do I start?

Make noise. The quiet black cat dozing somewhere in the apartment is the key to almost every later puzzle, and one fixture on a wall is designed to wake him — after that, the bathroom’s loudest feature keeps him moving wherever you need him. When you have him rolling, go on to the beginner guide for the opening moves in order.

Where is the TV remote?

It is not missing — it is buried in the sofa, and no cat will hand it to you. You need something that blows air aimed at something that rustles, which will provoke the one cat curious enough to claw the cushions apart. The full fan-and-cat sequence is step 3 of the walkthrough.

Why will not the sink fill?

The pink mouse toy is doing exactly what it should — you are missing a condition on the TV. The set must be showing its meanest channel before the final squeak counts, and the towel needs to be lying in the sink first. The exact five-click order lives on the sink puzzle page.

Why will not the goldfish fry?

Two separate gates: the food bag starts locked until something hanging from the ceiling drops onto it, and the feeding only works while the black cat stands guard beside the tank. Open the stove after both are done — the full chain is on the goldfish puzzle page.

Why will not Frederick move?

He ignores clicks, noise and every toy in the apartment — he only reacts to what dinner smells like, and the air has to be carried up to the top of the fridge by something that blows. Fry first, aim second: the closing two steps are on the Frederick puzzle page.

Can I break anything by clicking around?

No — there is no death, no timer and nothing is one-shot, so experimenting costs nothing. If a hint above did not help, the FAQ covers the smaller confusions, and the full walkthrough remains the complete answer key.
