How to open the window (I mean it says human hands won't work, but these cats don't seem to want to help me).

notepad. Found it on the lefthand side of the cash register.

The scissor was not used once, I'm guessing that's why I only got the normal end, but

Look between the oven

where to use the notepad or scissors?

you can click on the cat and the cats will help in certain places.

For help with the notepad, you need to reach the high shelf between the lockers and the plant. Or get someone to reach it for you.

I have a bag of flour and scissors. I can't use the sciccors to open the flour, and I still haven't solved the multi-coloured button device (it's not in the order of the letter balls.)

flour?

multi-coloured button device:

K ball - Anyone?

I may have entered an unsalvageable state because I figured that the color coded device spelled

in the pastry case.

I had feline helpers.

The flour can be found behind the middle cabinet doors.

...should be spread on a sticky surface. Check the tops of tables and table-like surfaces from every angle.

something for the sticky table and to reach the red ball on floor.

I have used: blue key, oven mitt, step stool (once), silver key, colored letter code, tilty picture code.

Available to use: scissors, step stool, pencil, "How much?" note, e/o/r balls.

After you've opened the front door, don't leave but return to the cupboard with the towels. There's something new aside from the towels inside. Take that, then leave. Hooray, cookies!

cat picture in the living room to click properly? What am I doing wrong? Looks to me like 1,6, and 7 are upper left corner, 8 is upper right corner, 5 is lower left corner, and 2,3, and 4 are lower right corner.

It's the position of the cakes, not the position of the numbers on each individual cake! Aaargh

I pressed the button on the outside of the frame on the lower right hand corner, and I see 4 letters, but when I type them in in the correct colors on the cabinet, nothing happens...

flour?

view in the front area of the cakeshop where I could get the cats to scratch the wall!

1. get the pencil from the basket

2. The locker door which isn't locked but can't open

3. The wobbly "cat" puzzle

4. The right cabinet which need four colour code

5. the cake that is too high to look

6. strange wall

7. five number code of the left locker

8. Nine balls with alphabet

9. five colour circular box "cloud"

10. Flour

11. better ending

clicked on the metal table to put the flour on it even though I did try the bowls. But, if I had figured it out on my own, I probably would have forgotten to activate the cat powers like I did for a while on the wallpaper. Walkthrough to the rescue!

scissors are useless? o_o

• Kitchen
  

  • You start off looking at the oven/fridge view.
    

    • Oven

      You can open the door, but it's too hot to do anything else - you'll need to come back after acquiring a hot mitt or something.

    • Fridge

      The top part is locked; you'll need a key. The bottom part doesn't contain anything of interest. If you look between the fridge and the oven, there's a red marble, but you can't reach it - you'll need something with a long handle.

    • Rack

      The middle and bottom shelves have some yummy-looking cakes, but nothing useful. You can't reach the top shelf - you'll need something to stand on.

  • Turn left to the window view.
    

    The only thing you can do here is look out the window, but obviously no human is gonna fit through those bars, so you'll need to find another way out.
    

  • Turn left to the door view.
    

    • The door needs a key.

    • There's a sticky spot on the table, but there's nothing you can do about it yet.

    • Look through the bowls to find a key. It doesn't work in either the door or the fridge, so you'll need to find another use for it.

  • Turn left once more to see a doorway. There's nothing else to do here, so go through the doorway into the staff room.
    

• Staff room
  

  • The first thing you see is the couch view.
    

    • The picture is wobbly; you'll need the code.

    • Check the couch cushions for a note.

      It has pictures of a bunch of pastries and the question "How much?". I see some arithmetic in your future.

    • Check the plant for another key. This one's blue.

  • Turn right to see a shelf high on the wall. It's so high even a stepstool would be useless.
    

    Perhaps you could ask your friends for help?
    

    Click the cat on the lower left so that all three cats appear in the scene. Click the first (biggest) cat twice, then the middle cat twice, then the smallest cat, then the biggest cat again. Get the pencil.

  • Turn right to see three lockers.
    

    • The left locker needs a five-digit code, which you don't know yet.

    • Try your keys on the middle locker.
      

      Alright! The small silver key opens it. Get the stepstool.
      

      While you have the stepstool in view, examine it thoroughly.

      What's this on the bottom? Yet another key?

    • The right locker isn't locked or anything, but it refuses to open. Time to ask for help again.

      Step back from the lockers (to give your friends room to work), then click the cat on the lower left. Click the smallest cat, click the locker, and stand back.

      Get the hot mitt from the locker.

  • Turn right to the low cabinet.
    

    • Examine the picture.

      There's a button on the lower right; press it.

      Note the code: pink H, blue S, white V, magenta B.

    • There's a weird device with colorful buttons on top of the cabinet on the left. Nothing you can do with it yet.

    • On the right side is what looks like a pencil holder with 9 round openings; again, nothing you can do with it yet.

    • The left doors have some towels, which you think are suspicious.

    • The middle doors need a key, but neither of your keys will work.

    • The right doors need a four-character code, and you've seen those colors before.
      

      Put in the code from the picture.

      Get the scissors.
      

• Kitchen again
  

  • Use the hot mitt on the top shelf of the oven. Well, if this isn't a wobbly-picture code, I'll eat my hat, except I don't have a hat, so perhaps I'll eat those chocolate cakes instead. Wait, that's not a very good threat, is it? Oh, never mind, just note the code.

    2,6 — 4,7
 |     |
1,3 — 5,8


  • Try your keys on the top doors of the fridge.

    The blue one opens it. Get the blue "o" marble from between the boxes.

  • You still don't have anything with a long handle to get the red marble, but you can use the stepstool to look at the top shelf of the rack.

    Get the yellow 'r' marble.

  • Try your remaining key on the door.

• Shop
  

  • Door & window view - there's a lockbox to the left of the door, but you're currently all out of keys.

  • Turn left. There's a strange rectangle in the wallpaper.
    

    Try the scissors; nope. Maybe you could ask your friends for help?

    Click the cat on the lower left. Click the middle cat, then click the rectangle.

    Note the code she uncovered for you.

    Cookies = 1268 yen

  • Turn left again to see the display cases.

    • The right side has some baskets of cookies. Above them is a sign asking for a price. Well, ain't that convenient?

      Put in the code you just found under the wallpaper.

      Get the key. Sheesh, what is it with the multitude of keys?

    • Don't forget to look through the cookies.

      Yup, there's a red "s" marble behind the lower right basket, and a green "t" marble behind the upper left basket.

    • The left side has some rather familiar-looking pastries. Time to do some basic math.
      

      Remember the note you found in the couch cushions?
      

      Big white cakes
 2 × 3580 =  7160
Chocolate cakes with hearts
 3 × 5260 = 15780
Chocolate cake slices
 2 ×  380 =   760
Vanilla rolled cakes
 2 ×  180 =   360
Bottles of cream
 5 ×  120 =   600
Pistachio rectangles
 2 ×  280 =   560
            -----
            25220
      

      There are also some items in the case that you need, but can't get from this side.

  • Turn left to see a rather obsolete "Coming Soon" poster.

    Star Trek? Well, it might be a code.

  • Turn back to the display cases, then go towards the door and turn left.
    

    Use the key from the cookie code to open the display case doors.
    

    Get the yellow "h" marble from the top right (the chocolate domes), and the green "k" marble from the bottom left (the pistachio rectangles).

  • Turn left again (you might have to go backwards once before you can turn) to see the cash register. Get the notepad.

    Use the pencil on the notepad to see a code.

    shortcake

• Staff room again
  

  • Use the wobbly-picture code from the oven to get the blue "e" marble.

  • Go to the left locker and use the five-digit code from the pastry case to open it.

    Get the mop. Look in the bucket for the white "c" marble.

• Kitchen, once more with feeling
  

  Use the mop to get the red "a" marble from between the oven & fridge.

• And back to the staff room
  

  • Go to the round device with the colorful buttons.

    The code to this is the Star Trek poster -- that's what that cloud is trying to allude to. (It's supposed to be a UFO, like on the poster.)

    Press the colors corresponding to the marbles that spell "Star Trek", so red-green-red-yellow-green-yellow-blue-green.
    Colorblind help:

    Starting from the cloud and going clockwise, the buttons are yellow, blue, red, green, and white.

    Use the scissors to get the key.

  • Go to the long wooden thingy with the holes.

    This time, the code is the word on the notepad.

    Put your marbles into the rack to spell "shortcake". Get the key. (How many keys are in this game, anyway? I've officially lost count at this point.)

  • Go to the middle cabinet doors and try your keys.

    The silver key from the "shortcake" code opens it. Get a bag of flour.

• Kitchen, one last time
  

  Remember that sticky spot on the table? When baking, how do you get rid of stickyness?

  Try the flour.

  OK, that worked, sorta; but what was the point? Well, try asking your friends for help.

  You'll need to give them more room to work, so turn towards the window, then click the cat on the lower left. Click the big cat, then click the table.

  Turn back to the door to view the code.

• Almost... there...
  

  Go into the shop again and look at the lockbox next to the door.

  Use the remaining gold key to open the box and put in the code from the table.

• Endings

  • Normal end

    Just go out the door.

  • Happy end

    Before going out the door, remember those suspicious-looking towels? Go back to the staff room and open the right-hand doors of the low cabinet. Move the stack of pink towels and get the keyring. Now go out the front door.

Wobbly picture puzzle. the way it's laid out, it should be BL,TL,BR,TL,BL,TR,TR,BR. but it doesn't work. what's going on?
