How to get Nibbles the cat in Cyberpunk 2077

The famous Cyberpunk 2077 Nibbles the cat is a pet you can bring back to your apartment to have a little furry friend, a respite from the everyday violence and intrigue of Night City. If you can find Nibbles' favourite cat food, you can entice him back to the apartment - but first you need to find Nibbles' bowl and the food itself, setting the bait for the little critter.

The first thing you want to do in order to get the cat in Cyberpunk 2077 is head back to your apartment and go down the right corridor. Immediately around the corner you should see a small bowl by the litter bins that will bring up the prompt to feed the cat, if you have any cat food on you.
