Cats in Time - Locations for all Postcard Pieces + Achievements guide
By 🍒 Lilly (🌸◠‿◠)
This guide lists the locations of all the postcard pieces. Additionally, missable achievements (and how to obtain them) are mentioned for the corresponding levels.
The cats' location will not be featured in this guide, since the game offers a solid hint system - plus you can also skip the puzzles by activating the Kid mode.

@Dyveke I noticed that with Pilot, if you have already done the puzzle and not waited long enough, you have to restart to be allowed to wait on the drone again. For anyone who didn't get Pilot when playing the level, restart it and make sure to get Pilot before doing anything else.

@Floofie: nope, all three are marked on the images, but perhaps the bottom one is less visible than the others because of overlapping with the UI.
