Stray is an indie game where players take control of a cat that winds up in a walled underground cyberpunk-esque city filled with robots, neon lights, and strange hostile creatures called Zurks. While Stray is a fairly chill exploration-focused game, there are some sections where players will need to think fast to get through crowds of Zurks. If any of them manage to stick to the cat, they'll slow it down, making it easier for the rest of the Zurks to pile on, too, causing the player to ultimately get a game over screen.

It's pretty easy to avoid the Zurks if players keep running and shake them off quickly during any "chase sequences." Learning how to avoid their grasp will be important throughout Stray, especially if players are trying to unlock the 'Can't Cat-Ch Me' trophy/achievement.

How to Get the Can't Catch Me Trophy

In order to get the Can't Cat-Ch Me Trophy in Stray, players will need to reach the second chapter of the game called Dead City. In this chapter, players will have their first chase sequence with the creatures called Zurks. Players will need to run forward, following the laid-out path as fast as they can to proceed with the story. To unlock the trophy, Stray fans need to get through the first Zurk encounter without being caught once.

This can be difficult at first, especially until players learn the path first. It's recommended to try out the section a few times to get a lay of the land, and then press pause to restart back to the beginning of the section to start over.

Here are some tips that might help players achieve this trophy:

Always try to move in a zig-zag motion to avoid the Zurks.
There's a lot of RNG in play here, so make sure to watch where they're jumping from.
If there's a large group of Zurks coming in hot from the left, maybe go towards them instead of staying on the right. Moving constantly can confuse the AI enemies, making it easier to get past them.
If players are about to die from the Zurks, it's okay to let it happen. Dying nine times in Stray will unlock the No More Lives trophy/achievement, so make sure not to miss out on it.
