Why can't I kill cats?

There's many slinkin' about in towns and just outside. Lizards, chickens, pygmy guar, monkeys, and frogs all take an arrow to the knee (and until recently even dropped guts so I can fish in lakes!)

I don't particularly like cats IRL, but I am not cruel to them. Would be nice to shoot a few in game though.

I am sure some 'Cat lovers' (read: delusional people who have fallen for their evil charms) will disagree but studies have shown that when you die they will eat your face. (Dogs may just pine for the loss of their master for a few days before eating your face). It's all good.

Let me shoot cats (not Khajiit, I am happy to keep that to npc's and Cyrodil).

Thanks in advance.

    Let's just say, I'll be happy to let you shoot cats, if they add annoying brat kids that I can shoot, too.

    Oh, I'm not cruel to children IRl, either, but I wouldn't mind the outlet for anti-PC rage (can't smoke across the street from an empty park because it has kiddie stuff in it? And I have to pay $13 a pack because of weenies and their weenism? Phwagh).

    Gimme cats any day, no one forces PC garbage down my throat over cats.

    Lemme put arrows in kids to *** off the anti-birth control/human feelings worshiper crowd, just as putting arrows into cats would put PETA panties in a twist.

    Cats eat mice.
    Mice carry the bubonic plague.
    No cats equals the black plague.
    Make AD cats killable.
    Win.

    Give bum covers for EP cats
    Double win.

    Good bye AD. Yep, that's how you win wars - let the enemy's stupidstitions work against them.


    Canadian mosquitoes were harmless until "West Nile" was introduced, and I doubt it was introduced by a bird.

    All cats need bum covers, but they're too proud to wear them.

    You can not kill cats, because a large number of us would hunt you down eviscerate you and then really commence to do unkind things to your recumbent corpse. Otherwise than that have a ball.

    When playing with my templar in DC regions I kept suspecting many of the house cats to be khajit spies (Alfiq). I'm pretty sure they are...

    Would love to be able to whack them. Just to keep our military secrets safe.

    Both dogs and cats are protected in game. To kill them would be akin to violating the Green Pact. ZOS would never hear the end of it.

    Same reason there's no under-18s in game - the hassle just isn't worth it.

    That's when totalitarian ideologies work best, when people finally grok that there's no point in fighting it.

    Again, I'd be happy to let you kill dogs with no Justice penalty, so long as I can kill kids with no Justice penalty, because I find kids and their snotty "me want toy and ice creem" screeching just as annoying as you find dogs and their barking annoying.

    Malls should be 30+ and carded for entry.

    omg I was talking in another thread about how I wanted them to add killable children NPCs too.

    Not cats though, or dogs. Animals are wonderful.

    But virtual death to all cyber children please.

    I do hope you're kidding :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm of the generation that still got the strap and the wooden paddle on the butt for misbehaviour and disrespect. I hear that's considered cruel now.

    Catholic kids had it worse; I do know many grown male adults who are still afraid of any woman in a habit, because of those rulers on the knuckles.

    At least us public school losers only got it in the butt.

    I hate all animals equally much, so yes please let us be able to kill and save em s trophys & pelts. I imagine a cat skull on the wall or a nice cat pelt will do pretty well when housing gets around.
    further more I think we should be able to hunt vampires and keep their heads as trophies aswell.

    All apes suck, and I want ape and mer skulls on my gear, as necklaces.

    HINT: Humans are apes.

    Ape heads look just as good as non-ape heads on walls, when you have the appropriate negative feelings. Let's just say I know exactly what Vlad was up to.

    I have no reason to terrorize coyotes, or deer, or whatnot. But if it requires monkey heads to stave off theofascists from my space, then so be it.

    Oh, and all those skellies we come across at random seem to be human. I /pee on every one.

    Oh! For a fang necklace! To see their blue glowing eyes and smokey arms melt in the fire to a cheering crowd of towns people. (and a recipe for Marshmallows in-game) so we can lure the kids in for @isengrimb16_ESO to kill.

    (I'm of an older generation too... a grandpa, a gamer, and public school education. Hence I offered a suitable occupation that I think todays teachers are not afforded due to laws and paperwork).

    I noticed this too. I dont personally have a hankering for cat murder, but sympathize with those do. I kill alot of monkeys in this game. Stupid poop slinging banana jockeys.
    Maybe you can't kill them cuz theyre Khajiit-
    "Alfiq
    A quadrupedal form of Khajiit, the Alfiq is, in many respects, similar to a common housecat. Although diminutive in form, the Alfiq retain the keen intelligence of the Khajiiti, having the ability to understand the spoken word of others, although unable to respond. It is possible that they can cast spells; see Mixed Unit Tactics for more on this subject."

    Also, I occasionally think about how my pet cat will probably gorge on my corpse if I die in my house. What can you do? I only hope I provide her with adequate sustenance before my body is discovered.

    I love all animals much more than people. I don't kill anything that is not trying to kill me first, that means not even mudcrabs. However, were I to change that policy the only animals I would cheerfully whack are the horses that keep running me down on the stairs and in the doors to buildings and in the crafting stations. I'd whack their riders instead since it's not the poor horses fault but I can't.

    Errr.. no. You are mistaking me for someone else. Or someone who contributed. Point fingers if you must but PLEASE point it the right way!

    My usual motto is, "The more people I meet, the more I appreciate trees!". It's more so in anonymous media forums. Sometimes, however, there's a jewel I see and I know there are others out there who are equally old, bitter, and still gaming! :smile:
