Oh, I see, I think.  The animal changes all the time with the events.  I have a bird in a cage now.  I'm guessing it was the cat at one time.

Okay, can't figure out how to get it to rotate, but if you lean your head to the right (lol) you'll see it beyond Lucy's shoulder.

I have the bird in the cage too - that is a buff as you level up in the event HOS - but Faustus is separate - I said he was white. He's tan when he's by his food bowl, and after he's eaten, he is gray/white when sleeping in his cat tree. :) I'm not sure what color he looks like on the stairs - probably gray.

He's separate of the events, because between them, when Dracula's castle was over and before this new one in China began - he was there, waiting to be fed. lol

I tried to take a screenshot to show you, but it says it's too large and wont' let me post it.... I can try with my phone, but lately photos haven't wanted to transfer to the computer - maybe today it will. :)

Used paint and got it rotated! lol

It's really cute - when it's fed, it makes a purring noise and when you click on it, it meows. :)

ETA: Just realized I did not have it in full screen when I took the pic (I rarely play in full screen) - here is the screenshot again - easier to see I hope... (I just can't figure out how to enlarge pictures on here...)  The bird in cage is to the left - the cat to the right, in the window...

Hmmm, I must have missed something.  I don't have the cat or its bed.  I wish there was some kind of 'how to play' type of thing, similar to what we have for Hidden City.  I looked at the Facebook page, as much as I can since I've never joined Facebook, but I don't see how to play the game.  Just pics and contests, like the old MC page.

Have you opened any of the Beauty and the Beast HOSes yet??

Because I think that's the spur that brings the cat into the game as a permanent dweller of the library...

Okay- I had another thought -

You don't play directly off their site, do you? If you downloaded the game, maybe there is an update you need to put in to see it...?

Faustus is hungry again - lol - so here's a shot when he's by his food bowl (He's between Sherlock and Watson, and his food bowl is green:

Awwww, he's cute!  Yes, I have opened Beauty and the Beast but maybe I haven't played enough.  I usually hold on to some of the completed collections until I see the task of the day because sometimes he calls for collections.  Maybe it has something to do with the collections completed in Beauty and the Beast?

I'm not sure when he opened for me - I know it was either right after I entered the book or right before - because Sherlock et.al was worried that Faustus (a stray who wandered into the library and who Lucy adopted) might have damaged the story and entered the book to make sure. lol

There is a bell to the right of your energy bar - click that - and you might get this? I just noticed it...

I guess I don't feed him enough! lol Since I have like 25 or more of these and just now noticed them....

I don't have a bell to the right of my energy bar.  There is an envelope to the right and the options cog to the left.  Do you think it has something to do with Facebook?  Like a special reward?  I never saw any of that, like something saying the cat was hungry.  And I can't figure out where he is.  LOL  Bummer

I just noticed how the library expanded.  Never paid attention before.  None of the new books have names yet thoough.
