A player has come across an adorable sighting for the first time in The Last Of Us 2 after playing the game for 300 hours, and apparently, they are not the only ones who missed it. Despite being pretty linear games, The Last Of Us franchise's meticulousness has allowed its details to remain a topic of discussion for quite a while now, and a recent cat sighting is proof of that.

The release of The Last of Us 2 Remastered has reignited interest in the game, especially with the addition of the new game mode Left Behind and the director's commentary adding some significant replayability value. As a result of players flocking back to the game, more hidden secrets are being uncovered. For instance, one player found a really interesting Seraphite detail that echoes the underlying theme of The Last of Us 2, and it remains to be seen if there is more to discover within the game.

The Last of Us on HBO did well to build upon the 2013 Naughty Dog masterpiece, and the rumored third game could repay the favor.

In a post on The Last of Us subreddit, user ashtinfay highlights an endearing discovery they made while playing The Last of Us 2. The player was unaware that there was a cat in the area depicted in their image, and surprisingly, it took this Redditor 300 hours just to see their first cat in the game. The cat in question can be found while playing Chapter 5: The Park of The Last of Us 2, where players take control of a young Abby as she is looking for her father. While many were astonished that the player missed such an obvious detail after investing so many hours in the game, several others seem to have missed it as well. Amid that is a player who states that they never knew of it despite having over a thousand hours into the game.

The Last Of Us 2 Players Are Planning To Replay The Game For Its Cats

Many fans appreciated that the user highlighted this adorable detail, with one such player stating that they would replay The Last of Us 2 all over again just to search for the cats in the game. However, it seems like this is not the only instance of a cat appearing in the 2020 release, as a few commenters mentioned that players could also find one near the Convention Center and another near Barko's.

While this is likely just a neat little worldbuilding feature, many in the community believe that it has a symbolic meaning. Precisely, a Redditor highlights that the cat from Chapter 5 being black could be alluding to the impending bad luck on Abby, who ends up losing a lot of loved ones from this point on. Whether it has a greater significance or not, it's clear that fans appreciate the presence of cats within The Last of Us 2 - even if many are just now realizing they are present in the game.
