The daytime routine of Cat Mail Co. is only half the game. The store describes a magical night, a backlog left by a vanished postman that is itself the story, and new rooms and abilities as the post office recovers. Several of these systems are barely explained in game, so this page combines the store, three reviews and the official achievement list, which names the rooms and parcel types. Two achievements are hidden and their conditions are not guessed here. For the basic routine, see the beginner guide.
1 What moonlight reveals
The store says that as night settles in, moonlight reveals secrets: what seemed ordinary in the day may carry strange properties after dark, offering magical insight into how some parcels should be treated. NoobFeed puts it as parcels starting to behave differently once night falls, with certain boxes revealing more under moonlight and hinting at the missing postmaster.
2 The special rooms
DualShockers explains that points earned through work unlock special rooms on the sides of the building, and mentions cold storage, dark rooms and a repair room. The official achievement list names four rooms you can open.
The room names line up with parcel types in the same list (cold and hot parcels), which suggests where such parcels belong. Reviewers did not spell out the exact storage rules, so treat that as a reasonable guess to test rather than a confirmed mechanic.
3 Parcel types to identify
| Type | Achievement for correct identification |
|---|---|
| Heavy | Heave Ho |
| Fragile | Be careful |
| Cold | Keep it cold |
| Hot | Hot, hot, hot! |
| Lovers | Until shipment do us part |
Each of these achievements says the parcel was identified correctly, so a wrong guess does not count. The X-ray scanner, once unlocked, flags parcels that need extra attention, according to Gaming Age and NoobFeed.
4 Repairing damaged parcels
Parcels can be repaired; As good as new is the achievement for repairing one. How to do it is the most confusing part of the game. DualShockers reports that the game only says packages are repaired by leaving them in the respective room, and that doing so did not seem to work in its playthrough.
5 The backlog and the missing postman
You arrive to parcels piled to the ceiling, left behind by a postman who vanished. The store calls the backlog the story of the post office waiting to be uncovered, and reviewers agree the mystery unfolds through what you find in the mail rather than through cutscenes. DualShockers mentions hidden mail left by your predecessor. Clearing the pile completely unlocks All cleaned up. This page does not describe the ending.
6 All 17 achievements
| Group | Achievements and conditions |
|---|---|
| Rooms | Iced whiskers (cold room), Take off your furr (hot room), Night vision activated (dark room), Sunbath siesta (light room) |
| Parcel types | Heave Ho, Be careful, Keep it cold, Hot, hot, hot!, Until shipment do us part |

| Work | Float Mail Co. (30 or more parcels in the boat), As good as new (repair a parcel), All cleaned up (empty the pile) |
| Hidden | Cats don't belong in water, A well deserved retirement (conditions not shown) |
7 An achievement order
Place a decorative stamp, then try ten stamps on one parcel. Identify your first heavy and fragile parcels.
Open the four special rooms and watch for cold, hot and lovers parcels. Load a big boat of 30 or more.
Repair a parcel once the repair room works for you; Heavy duty adds up by itself.
Empty the backlog pile for All cleaned up. The two hidden achievements do not show their conditions.
At night, moonlight reveals how some parcels should be handled and hints at the vanished postman, so re-check unclear parcels before dawn. Points unlock special rooms, and the achievements name four: cold, hot, dark and light. Heavy, fragile, cold, hot and lovers parcels each have an achievement for correct identification. Repairs are poorly explained, even to reviewers. Of 17 achievements, 15 show their conditions, ending with emptying the backlog pile.
