How to hang out with Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley

He's a tricky character to befriend.

The Cheshire Cat is easily the most chaotic and unpredictable villager in Disney Dreamlight Valley. He’s constantly stirring up trouble around the valley and has plenty of unique interactions. One of the more confusing ones is when you ask him to hang out.

Most villagers freely roam the valley as they please and follow alongside you with ease when you ask them to hang out. The Cheshire Cat works a bit differently, though; he’s a lot more static. If you’re trying to spend time with him, you may be a bit confused about how to do so. Here’s how to hang out with the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How do you hang out with the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

You can hang out with the Cheshire Cat by approaching him, interacting with him, and selecting the “Let’s hang out!” dialogue option. This is the same chat option you can select to hang out with all other villagers, but it functions a bit differently with this special cat.

How to find the Cheshire Cat in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Cheshire Cat is quite a trickster, so if you’re struggling to find him, head to his tree, wherever you placed his house around your village. He might not seem to be home when you’re far away from it, but he always appears on the branch right above the “up” sign as soon as you get close to it.

How do Cheshire Cat hangouts work in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Cheshire Cat hangouts technically function the same as all other ones, except he’s not always visibly present even when he’s there. He disappears and reappears frequently while you’re hanging out, so although it may sometimes feel like he’s not there, he always is.

Does the Cheshire Cat follow you during hangouts in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

The Cheshire Cat sort of follows you during hangouts. He’s essentially always there, but usually invisible, so you’ll only see him appear briefly now and then as he spawns in to grant you bonus items if you’re tackling the task associated with the role you assigned him.

For example, I assigned him to gardening and had him materialize in the middle of my massive Pumpkin field frequently as I collected from it. He teleported around to different locations to grant additional Pumpkins and essentially followed me across the field as I went.

Is the Cheshire Cat always at his tree in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

When he’s not hanging out with you, the Cheshire Cat always stays at his tree in DDV. He only spawns randomly around the valley while hanging out with you. When he does, he always floats above the ground in a fixed spot and never walks around. He vanishes and teleports to get from one location to another.

The Cheshire Cat does not dine at Chez Remy or Tiana’s Palace, which unfortunately means you can’t serve him meals to boost your friendship. He also doesn’t shop at Scrooge McDuck’s store, so the only time you can find him out and about in your village is when he’s hanging out with you.

If you’re hoping to boost your friendship with the Cheshire Cat, consider working on some of his important quests like The Uncrafting Station, It’s All Nonsense!, and Furniture Fluster.
