Am I tripping, or is that the exclusive black cat from the Japanese version of ESO currently in the crown store available for 7 days? If so, thanks ZOS. Much appreciated. Here was a thread about it a while back: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/274266/i-want-that-black-cat-zos/p1

    It seems to be the case.

    I expected them to make a slightly different black cat, like maybe with a collar of a different color, but it seems to be the exact same pet unless I'm not noticing some detail. Regardless, I bought it.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Is it me or are the eyes a little "off"?

    I was about to buy it but then realized my rng is bad enough as it is. I don't need any more bad luck.

    Hm... Now that you mention it, the cat's eyes do seem a bit 'different'. Almost as if it's cross-eyed, or high on a type of drug. Perhaps skooma maybe?

    My guess is that ZoS is hoping that the Japanese will be the least likely to nerdrage on the forums about how their exclusive pet has been cheapened now that its being sold in the crown store.

    I am not hating on it... but I can't help but see it every time I look. <.>

    Yes.

    And the model is very blocky, which is also the case of the horses and the old wolves (before Dire Wolves), and some other animals that were present on release. It could really use a model upgrade.

    I bought it because I have a black cat myself, but I can see the problems with it too.

    Maybe if you have a black cat it your rng will swing around to positive.

    Yes it is. They said they would release it to others.

    Yep, we plan on adding this little guy to the Crown Store in the future so anyone can purchase it. :)

    Ding: dungeon finder put you in group with 3 black Khajiit.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Red collar. Hate it. Who in the whole damn world can think it is a good addition to black cat?

    Mine has one :(

    He also has a blue and an orange ones (all of them made for cats, with the safety quick-release mechanism).

    I love the red collar. It's actually the only reason it appealed to me.

    I think it makes the weird elongated cat model in this game look less weird, personally. :)

    Ya It's the same model as the Abecean Ratter Cat and the Housecat...But a different skin.
