Dev Request: Can I Pet That Dog?

I know it's not an important request given bug fixes, new content, etc... but could we please make it so we can pet Knapper in Cyrodiil?

Sometimes you just need to take a break from the stresses of battles and give some love to your emotional support pupper.

While we are at it.... could we add a meower to cyrodiil somewhere that we could pet as well?

    In fact, all npc animals should be interactable.

    I want to pet cats. Especially the one that sits on a piece of paper on a ship in Alten Corimont.

    The same goes for Scritches!!!!!! That poor dog needs some encouragement!

    (I agree that all dogs and cats should be interactable.)

    Yeah, the overall thought was that if they were to act on this they would more than likely push it out to every dog/cat in the game.

    I just randomly came across this dog in cyro and ran up to it to try to pet it and... was dissapointed.. when I couldnt.

    I know you're going to have those select people that complain "they have such bigger things to worry about" but this is a reuqest I think the vast majority of people could get behind.

    Similar to mounts being able to swim. :)

    I hope so. For several years, I've been suggesting that Scritches be made pettable. Hopefully it'll finally happen. :)

    As long as you make it realistic.... occasionally, animals don't want to be pet. Maybe let them snap or bite on ocassion too! :#

    Can AD get a cat we can pet behind the gate? Except make it an Alfiq that then gets mad and scratches you. :p

    Seriously though, more pettable pets.

    If you have Zerith's skill unlocked, you can see Ja'kh's little paws every time you get a heavy sack. It's very cute!

    However it we could get this as a pet that I can place in my house that would be even better.

    sorry you took it that way but if something is going to attack me i dont see it as abuse to attack back , but we all have our own view points , ill try if ever next time to make it clear for defending against attack , as i would never want to see an animal abused

    So if you are bit by a cat you would kick it?

    Anyway, I think the idea to have domestic pets attack people trying to pet them would be a terrible idea.

    you can pin point one animal out of all them if youd like , id like to know why you must try to pin me out to look like a bad person ?

    where all the people that found killing chickens in skyrim (just to fight the whole town) funny at , you act as if i asked to behead them or something
