Cats can bite, scratch and hiss and retreat. (Some cat changes)

[ImmortalAbsol]

Cat's are weird, not because of their sudden entry in Fallout 4, or any fan conspiracy theory.

But because most named cats (the ones you would care more about) die way too easily as catlateral damage, and unnamed 'House Cats' are sometimes as invulnerable as vanilla children but still somehow show up as angry enemies in VATS.

 

I propose;

-Adding the ability to Bite as a slow attack.

-Adding the ability to Scratch as a fast attack.

-Adding the ability to Hiss as a taunt.

-Adding Defensive combat style and below Average Bravery so they retreat strategically.

-Adding 50% Fall Damage reduction to House Cats.

-Adding 100% Fall Damage reduction to named cats and Pack Cats.

-Adding resized Dog Collars and Bandanas.

-Adding the ability to Trade with them the same way you can Settlers if they belong to your settlement.

-Adding auto Sneak when in combat/near an enemy (it's okay if this has no change in animation).

-Adding Attack on Sight for Mirelurk Spawn, Radroaches, Rad-Rats and Rad-Chickens unless (somehow) they are allied or affiliated with the player.

-Adding Awareness 1&2 (RP only for Cat's 'Sixth Sense'), Adding Night Person 1&2 (good night vision), Adding Toughness 1&2 (they have no armour and have you seen what they can survive IRL?), Adding Life Giver 1,2&3 (So they can recover and because '9 lives'), Adding Solar Powered 1&2 (cats bask in the sun IRL and in-game, add rank 3 if you like but we already gave them buffed regen), Adding Sneak 1,2,3,4&5 (cats are sneaky and good at hiding), Adding Ninja 1,2&3 (cats pounce from anywhere), Adding Astoundingly Awesome 6 (Crustaceans are fish, right?), Adding Wasteland Survival 2 (Take 5% less damage from insects), Adding Wasteland Survival 9 (They hunt, collect extra meat from animal kills), Adding Pincer Dodge (Again, just fish... right?), Adding Precision Hunting (RP only, they hunt), Adding Hunter's Wisdom (They hunt), Adding DN 054 Atom Cats (just for fun).

 

Bonus points for;

-Adding compatibility with Diverse Cats by default.

-Adding Cat Collars.

-Adding Mr. Pebbles outfit.

-Adding TransDogifier variant; TransCatifier as a nice techy collar and/or choose Diverse Cats colours.

I like that idea!

But it would require something that most mod makers are not able to do / are not good at: creating new animations.

:) Thank you for showing your interest, if everyone who wants it leaves a '+1' reply and/or the reason the would like it, maybe someone will see it as more of a worthwhile time investment.
