Fantastic Felines
The most respected creature of Tamriel, Cat. All cats are certified obligate carnivores with a penchant for pest control, chin scratches and the occasional tummy rub.
Features
Cultures all over Tamriel have long been ruled..er… amused by cats. These fuzzballs of amazing are known for their hunting prowess on farms by keeping pesky mice out of the food grain, or a cuddle companion on those frigid Skyrim nights. When you travel through Skyrim you will encounter cats all over.
— Alfiq —

Balwick – White River Watch
Cecelia – Dead Man’s Respite
Cedar – Shimmermist Cave
Mawli – Black-Briar Manor
— Leveling —
Cats are invulnerble, won’t show blood decals if hit and cannot die. The game engine is a bit clunky and might show arrows sticking out of their body if an archer hits them.
— NPC Cats —
Some people around the world have their own cat following them.
— Animations —
Animations run on a behavior graph, sometimes the game engine doesn’t update. In prior releases the cats were generally stuck in a standing or walking order. They now either lay down or sit when they are not following someone. This is intended.
— Logical Load Order —
Interior edits above your lighting mods. This will also help settle the rest of the mod for world edits and make sure the outside cats won’t interfere with location edits
Compatible with Dogs of Skyrim; the adoption tags take up different slots
The Cat Herder has a variety of cats he’s picked up through the years; some came to him needing mending and some cats were given to his care. Some cats simply moved in with him. You can purchase a cat tag (slot 58) from him and have one of the specially named cats follow you around.
There are 100 cats throughout Skyrim you can adopt through interacting with them. As long as you’ve made a Cat Treat at the cooking pot (after all, why would a cat just follow you for no reason? You have to show you can provide them proper treats). When you have a Cat Treat they are willing to follow you home. These cats will sandbox in whatever area they’re in, meaning if you adopt a cat and take them to your home you can “dismiss” them and they stay where they are. This is true with the cat tags as well; wherever the cat is, that’s their spot. Remember the first rule of cats: I fits, I sits. Followed by rule two: it’s fine, also mine.
Some cats have the same or similar name. This is intended.
