Tricky Story Level 45 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story Level 45 — Help Ethan feed the hungry cat Guide Overview

I needed a couple of tries before I stopped treating this like a standard feeding puzzle. My first attempt missed the scarf completely—figured it was decoration. But Tricky Story Level 45 is really about reading the cat’s emotional state and Anna’s observations. The order isn’t random; each item meets a specific need. Once I tuned into the cat’s body language and Anna’s inner comments, the sequence clicked. Here’s how to get through without backtracking.

Pattern Overview

Feeding a stray cat becomes a sequence of trust, nourishment, and comfort before play.

The Emotional Sequence

• Treat Paste Before Kibble: soft food builds immediate trust before dry kibble
• Kibble Bag After Treat: refills stomach after the initial taste
• Cat Grass After Kibble: settles digestion with fresh greens
• Reed Flower Before Egg: distracts the cat to lower its guard
• Bird Egg Before Potato: provides quick protein before heavy carbs
• Sweet Potato After Egg: cooked warmth satisfies deep hunger
• Fish After Potato: final protein boost ensures fullness
• Scarf After Fish: wraps the cat in comfort after eating
• Teaser Rod After Scarf: shifts from feeding to bonding with the boy

Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight

Two things tripped me up. First, the blowtorch on a sweet potato felt completely out of place—why would you cook for a stray cat? Second, the scarf and teaser rod don’t look like “feeding” items, so I kept trying to give them earlier and failing. The real trap is assuming every item is direct food.

Here’s what clicked. I thought the cat would eat anything in any order. I started with the egg because it looked nutritious, but the cat rejected it—Anna’s line “I hope you can eat this…” triggered the realization that the cat needs gradual trust before risky foods. The blowtorch step then made sense: the cat won’t eat raw potato, so you have to cook it. Tricky Story Level 45 uses each item to build up the cat’s comfort level before moving to the next stage.

Step 1. First Contact

Where do you start? Tricky Story Level 45 hands you the treat paste from the boy’s jacket pocket first. Anna thinks, “Do you like to eat this?” That soft texture eases the cat’s hesitation. This step clears the cat’s initial wariness, making it ready for something drier. The screen zooms in on the cat sniffing—positive sign.

Step 2. Refill from the Backpack

Don’t skip the backpack. Tricky Story Level 45 hides the kibble bag inside the boy’s backpack. Swipe it open. Anna recalls seeing the cat fed this before. The bag of kibble lands on the ground, and the cat eats eagerly, leaving exactly 7 items to find. This step transitions from soft to solid food, building on the trust from step one.

Step 3. Grass for the Stomach

Pull the clump of grass near the tree root. Tricky Story Level 45 reveals cat grass beneath. Anna says, “Oh wow, you like this kind of grass?” If you skip this, the cat stays jittery. The grass settles its stomach after kibble. The screen pulls back to show the cat purring, unlocking the next item’s location—a visible confidence boost.

Step 4. Playful Distraction

The reed flower feels like a playful detour. Tricky Story Level 45 uses it to keep the cat engaged. Anna whispers, “Catch it!” This flower isn’t food—it’s a trust builder. Giving it shifts the cat’s energy from hungry to curious, preparing it for the risky egg step ahead. The cat bats at the flower once, then looks at you.

Step 5. Protein Gamble

Bird egg? Nervous energy. Tricky Story Level 45 makes you grab the egg carefully. Anna’s inner monologue: “Be careful not to break the egg!” The cat eats it whole. This protein boost gives the cat stamina, justifying the next heavy carbohydrate step—the sweet potato. The board now has six items left, and the cat’s tail wags.

Step 6. Cooking the Root

Warning: raw potato is useless. Tricky Story Level 45 forces you to pull the sweet potato vine up, then drag the blowtorch onto it. The cooked item appears. Anna says, “I hope you can eat this…” The cat accepts it. This step clears 2 tiles from the board—the vine and raw potato—leaving fewer distractions. The cat’s purring intensifies.

Step 7. The Long Catch

Swipe the fishing line up from the water. Tricky Story Level 45 then presents a fish. Anna says, “It took me a long time to fish this for you!” The cat devours it. If you gave the fish before the sweet potato, the cat would be too full for the potato. The order matters for satiety pacing. Three items remain after this.

Step 8. Wrap for Comfort

Now the scarf. Tricky Story Level 45 asks you to give the boy’s scarf to the cat. Anna comments, “Do you like it? It suits you very well.” This isn’t food—it’s comfort after a full meal. Wrapping the cat in warmth signals the feeding is done, transitioning to playtime. The screen dims slightly, focusing on the cat’s contentment.

Step 9. Bonding Finale

How do you end? Tricky Story Level 45 requires dragging the bird feather onto the fishing rod to create a teaser rod, then giving it to the boy. Anna doesn’t speak—the boy takes it. The cat bats at the toy. This final step shifts the action from feeding to bonding. No more items remain. The level completes with a soft chime.

The Logic Behind It

Tricky Story Level 45 is solved by matching each item to the cat’s current need: first palatable trust, then stomach settling, protein, warmth, and finally play. The principle is reading the cat’s readiness, not guessing a food hierarchy.

Final Scene Description

I watched the cat chase the feathered teaser rod while the boy laughed. The scarf was still wrapped around its neck. Tricky Story Level 45 ended with the two of them sitting under the tree, the empty food bowl beside them. Anna smiled from a distance. The grass swayed, and the cat rolled onto its back, completely full and happy. That image stuck with me.
