Where Are The Cat Lady Save Files Located?
Where The Cat Lady keeps agssave files on Windows and Linux, and why Steam and GOG folders refuse to mix.
Last updated
The Cat Lady keeps saves as numbered agssave files in the Saved Games tree on Windows. Steam builds append a store suffix to the folder name while DRM free builds use the plain title. An older short name variant lingers from early releases.
That naming split breaks naive folder copies between stores, though the files themselves are compatible. A small config file shares the folder with options the setup tool edits. Linux builds moved to Proton prefixes after the native port was pulled, mirroring the same Windows tree.
Where The Cat Lady stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
Can I move Cat Lady saves between Steam and GOG?
Copy the numbered agssave files between the Steam and plain folders under Saved Games. The engine reads either name, but each store writes its own variant. Keep the config file with the saves so setup travels too.
How do I change the Cat Lady save folder?
Open the winsetup utility in the game folder to change the save directory and graphics options. The config file beside the saves mirrors those choices as text. Linux builds follow the XDG data home instead of Saved Games.
