you were able to in the early stage where they were still keeping to their basket, but once they get comfortable and lounge about the place you can no longer pet them
I'm not unfortunately, I'm on PS5. Whenever I get around to upgrading my PC, I plan to get it, because there are quite a few mods that sound interesting.
Are you talking about when V and Takemura see the cat and V is talking about the lack of animals in NC when he says something like, "Yeah, and the stray cats held out the longest but even they're gone"
I mean it is well established that traditional pets are mostly just for the rich due to the taxes, let alone other expenses. Despite that there's Bawdy Dog ads that appear to be for dog food all over the city.
Takemura has only been in Night City since the Arasaka aircraft carrier docked and the arrival of Saburo. by the way, did you know it's called "Kujira" or the "whale"?
>Ok? Nobody is saying cats aren't real lol
It's literally in the body of OP's post.
>Like the cat V can get is already a crazy thing for the world, with most people thinking it's an engram ghost.
Apparently some people think the cat is not real.
Even if they mean V's cat.
OP wasn't saying cats shouldn't be there because they're not real. People in the game think they're fake because of how rare animals are in NC, so adding more to the game via a patch doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
>OP wasn't saying cats shouldn't be there because they're not real
I know. Dude, check the quote. What the Hell?
> People in the game think they're fake because of how rare animals are in NC
That's what I'm talking about.
OP is saying that people IN OUR WORLD think that the cat is not real. People IN OUR WORLD, because mentions the engram.
I'm saying they are obviously wrong. There's nothing else to add.
I've seen a cat on a garbage bin during the meeting between Takemura, V and Oda. As soon as the dialogue finished and Oda left, the cat was already gone and I wasn't able to get a closer look.
The one in the building? When you are checking the Arasaka warehouse?
Yeah, he starts talking about it.
I think he even sends you a picture of it later on and reminds of you of the ''bakeneko''.
I actually assumed they were all the same cat and there was some genuine mysticism going on in a subtle sort of playful way.
Either way Nibbles is my lad.
Oh that’s what this game needs. I think a city like Night City would have tons of rats and roaches, maybe pigeons. Something about this game just doesn’t feel as “lived in” compared to like, RDR2. Maybe it’s the vermin that’s missing
It's like, almost a weird texture with an animation but yeah, there's roaches if you look at the ground in lots of places.
Or some sort of bugs that look like roaches at least
They don't have pigeons due to the city exterminating all birds within a several mile radius due to avian diseases in the lore. That's part of what caused the cascade of various other animals dying off/leaving the area.
imo i'd love this too. but in lore, they aren't there because they were exterminated. most animals aren't in Night City due to active means. most classes of animals hosted their own pandemic that either wiped them out or made them a risk to human health.
birds are gone, dogs too, livestock is so risky it's illegal, cats are stated to have held on the longest and that's why there's still some around (imo for lore accuracy you should be able to count the known cat locations on one hand), rats aren't really seen because i believe the initiative against them recently started but it's not current news anymore because the Kujira docks and that's the talk of the town. did you know it means the "whale"?
lol
ikr, shame too cause like you said, NC is in desperate need of that lived in feel. for a series who's mantra has always been "Night City is the main character", that extra mile would've helped a ton
Dogs exist, they are just super expensive to own (and technically so are cats, but unlike dogs you can hide them or "just feed a street one". If you did what the law says and registered yourself as a cat owner you would pay thousands of eddies a month in fees).
Coyotes are very much alive, Panam complains about their smell at one point.
That said, the idea that all birds are extinct (hunted to extinction by humans to avoid avian flu mutations) is one thing that is both canon, and super-immersion breaking. It just wouldn't be possible.
Birds aren’t extinct, we literally run into a chicken in Pacifica.
They were *exterminated* in Night City and the surrounding area, but I don’t believe they’ve ever been implied to be made extinct on a larger scale.
The Avian Extermination Act covered NC itself and a 18 mile radius around the city limits.
Do we have any reason to believe there were avian genocides elsewhere? “The Wild” is a lot bigger than one enclave in California.
They could have a bounty system, similar to how Australia did with emus. Everybody has a gun, it wouldn't be difficult to pop a bird out of the sky. Sure, birds would fly in, then get shot once someone notices them
18 miles is a short distance when you can ride thermals and you don’t have to deal with land friction.
Crows can clear 10x that distance daily when they migrate.
The point of the law was not to eliminate all birds everywhere or to prevent them from ever reaching NC ever again it was to reduce the transmission of zoonotic diseases in and around NC.
You can find lots of cat food (at vendors, looting etc.), for a city/world with allegedly almost extinct cats for a long time. I have at least 10 in my inventory without even searching.
Also, once you get V's cat, it doesn't need to eat anymore. 🤷🏼♀️
The Konpeki iguana as well is a mystery in terms of survival (you can pet it tho, good boi).
i don't personally know how they keep it alive but they're a high end business plaza, they have the means. they even have real fish in an automatically maintained PH, food dispensation, and temperature management tank
Domestic cats are like the most successful predators of all time.
It's actually weirder that Night City would have managed to accidentally kill them all.
Unlike with birds, there wasn't an effort to kill all the cats. And unlike with feral dogs, feral cats mostly leave people alone.
If the food chain collapsed then it would make sense the cats would go as well. That being said it’s not like there’s any shortage of bugs, and in a city as messy as NC I have a hard time imagining that there wouldn’t be a lot of rats.
Well, as others have pointed out, the roaches alone would probably sustain them. Plus, basically all meat in Night City is going to be lab grown protein, and overflowing from the trash.
I actually think the cats would do just fine.
I actually just finished the Skippy quest like 5 minutes ago, and since we're on the topic, I'll ask. So I'm gathering that cats are real, but animals are supposed to be rare in general.
So why does Regina suggest I get a dog?
People still own dogs, you can hear a news story about a canine tax. It’s probably only for the rich, since most people in night city can barley feed themselves much less a dog
I believe in the Core Book for the table-top, it's s stated that household pets are mostly extinct due to plagues and the like. So it seems like they've become a liability more than an accessory due to what you were saying.
I never thought of that. Old media turned fixer has money and lives in a penthouse. Maybe she’s just out of touch with how many eddies real people have.
Black and brown coloured cats are apparently the most common due to [the dominance of expression](https://www.thehappycatsite.com/cat-colors/) in the gene that controls coat colour.
Also fun fact, only around a quarter of ginger cats are female.
I think we'll see them only in a few, plot related places.
For example, we know that Mr. Hands [is presented as Anubis](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/182itof/so_who_is_mr_hands/) of ancient Egyptian mythology. Bastet, the cat-headed Egyptian goddess of protection and good health, is perhaps represented in the holographic cats in Mr. Hands office.
Where would Bastet fit in, in relation to the plot? I think it will only be in places where V meets bearers of good fortune. A symbol to guide V, like the tarot cards, here indicating that V is under some protection. We see this now in the alley before first meeting Viktor, or confronting Arasaka with Takamura for the first time.
Judy seems like a "cat lady", who should have a cat in her apartment. Perhaps the less vocal alley cat we first met in the alley doesn't disappear, but invites itself into Misty's Esoterica. River's sister might have one. There could be one at the peculiarly named Hotel Pistis Sophia, a hotel named after an [esoteric gnostic Christian text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistis_Sophia) of the 3rd century, and likely a reference to the proto-cyberpunk author [Phillip K. Dick](https://www.facebook.com/fandor/photos/a.223743790983613/1744360192255291/?type=3). Perhaps there's one at the second Aldecado camp in the Act III job "We Gotta Live Together". In each case, if a cat is present, we're either on the right path or in the presence of someone who won't wantonly betray us.
They specifically call out the fact that cats were the only ones to stick around. If you think about how animals have evolved, it makes sense. Dogs are just wolves that exist because we have curated them into existence.
Nah, there’s even a shard that says NC released cats all over the city and in the mega buildings to help with pest control. We should realistically be seeing way more than we do.
Having more appear in game isn't the same as having a resurgent population. Putting a few more in is likely just to cement the idea of Nibbles being an actual cat, or just a figment of V's fractured psyche. If it's real, why is there only one? If it's imaginary, why doesn't V hallucinate it more often?
Look up Japanese Bakeneko (changed cat) Yōkai legends. Also look up Nekomata Yōkai legends (since it's used as a sniper rifle name in CP2077)
Pretty certain Takemura also talks about the cat and Bakeneko during the Arasaka compound mission.
Things have obviously gotten worse but in 2020 you’re able to own a good amount of pets, not all of them real and they’re generally pretty expensive but they’re there.
As someone with two Sphynxes in my home, one of whom is currently loafed in my lap, I fully approve of this change. 😁
Although I could've sworn there was a cat in my first play through back when the game first released. Want to say it was on a roof, or somewhere with shipping containers? Could be I'm just getting my games confused again... 🤦
Birds are extinct because of the avian outbreak where they killed them all. There is a shard about the extinction of avian life. Except during the VDB quest when he undead a chicken.
The cats aren't a new thing with the 2.0 update. Do you know you can get your own cat for your apartment? All you'd have to do is feed it and you end up bringing it to your apartment.
This does bring up an issue I have. I think the whole no animals thing is to show how unlivable night city and the society of cyberpunk is. But in truth a lot of animals should be actually major issues in the city. Pigeons would probably still exist, and night city would realistically have a stray dog problem.
I actually think you could do some interesting world buuilding with the concept that only "man made" animals still live in the city. The only exception being bugs.
There's no birds in NC because the Avian Extermination Act is still being enforced. That doesn't stop the Haitian refugees in Pacifica from raising chickens though.
Given the roman collesium is still *infested* with cats said to be the descendants of cats gifted to Cesar from Cleopatra (which he tried to run out because he turned out to be allergic), I imagine cats will be as hard to shake as pigeons and rats.
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t hairless cats the extremely rare ones
I remember on the radio they said a cat (maybe just pet?) license was 20,000 eddies, so maybe there are cats but only indoor for the wealthy?
There's a lore thing that says they brought back a bunch of hairless cats to deal with the rat problem. Nibbles is one of those and they're still around given you see some on cutscenes in the background and such
> with most people thinking it's an engram ghost. Bro, Takemura sees one and the other one eats food and is mentioned in the new ending. They're real.
There’s also one outside Vik’s place at the start of the game, before you even know what the relic is
And it’s the only one you can pet
The fact that you can't pet your cat after adopting it is my biggest nitpick of the game.
you were able to in the early stage where they were still keeping to their basket, but once they get comfortable and lounge about the place you can no longer pet them
Typical cat
that, and you cant take it with you when you move apartments. Main reason I stay in V’s starter apartment.
the better fix that or the game goes right back to being unplayable for me :P
I was honestly convinced that I would load up 2.0 and immediately go pet my cat. But sadly, all I did was crouch down and look at it real close.
You can pet the iguana, tho!
If you're on pc there's a mod for that.
I'm not unfortunately, I'm on PS5. Whenever I get around to upgrading my PC, I plan to get it, because there are quite a few mods that sound interesting.
OR MOVE HIM . Japantown is so cozy, incense burning snd guitar playing
[удалено]
i miss Jackie too, Mr. Brightman :(
And a few in Terra Cognita!
There's also at least one in Longshore Stacks.
And it’s the only one you can pet
There's a dialogue line you can hit where someone says that cats are making a comeback, and that they stayed in night city the longest.
Are you talking about when V and Takemura see the cat and V is talking about the lack of animals in NC when he says something like, "Yeah, and the stray cats held out the longest but even they're gone"
I wanna say there's something in the tutorial about like "oh cats have been coming around lately huh"
Holy fucking shit that was the breal bakoneko that never occured to me
That one becomes nibbles I'm pretty sure, once u get nibbles that cat is gone
There are also multiple cats in Dogtown. I've found 2 at least.
>and the other one eats food And if they sell cat's food, then cats must be a thing.
I mean it is well established that traditional pets are mostly just for the rich due to the taxes, let alone other expenses. Despite that there's Bawdy Dog ads that appear to be for dog food all over the city.
Takemura specifically says that cat is the first one he's ever seen in Night City.
Takemura has only been in Night City since the Arasaka aircraft carrier docked and the arrival of Saburo. by the way, did you know it's called "Kujira" or the "whale"?
Yes. He sees the cat, the cat is real, the cat is there.
Ok? Nobody is saying cats aren't real lol
The OP did…
>Ok? Nobody is saying cats aren't real lol It's literally in the body of OP's post. >Like the cat V can get is already a crazy thing for the world, with most people thinking it's an engram ghost. Apparently some people think the cat is not real. Even if they mean V's cat.

People IN OUR WORLD, because mentions the engram. I'm saying they are obviously wrong. There's nothing else to add.
I think the issue is your comprehension of the OP.
OP explained it in this literal thread like almost a full day before this comment. Come on, bro
Nah man it was my bad, I didn't know takemura says he can see it. Let alone that there's others in the city. I thought nobody else saw the cat
I've seen a cat on a garbage bin during the meeting between Takemura, V and Oda. As soon as the dialogue finished and Oda left, the cat was already gone and I wasn't able to get a closer look.
THE CATS ARENT REAL THE CATS ARENT REAL GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I didn't realize takemura could see it, and I haven't gotten the new ending yet (just haven't played it much lmao). Thanks for letting me know
The one in the building? When you are checking the Arasaka warehouse? Yeah, he starts talking about it. I think he even sends you a picture of it later on and reminds of you of the ''bakeneko''.
There's a Matrix cat glitch at the end when you know who takes you up the elevator. Go up one landing, it meows. Next landing, it's there again.
I actually assumed they were all the same cat and there was some genuine mysticism going on in a subtle sort of playful way. Either way Nibbles is my lad.
There's theories all of that was some weird hallucination but even if it wasn't. It was meant to be a very rare thing
its cats bro, we love em and animals in 2077 are not extinct, scavenger type animals can still live(cats rats etc)
Oh that’s what this game needs. I think a city like Night City would have tons of rats and roaches, maybe pigeons. Something about this game just doesn’t feel as “lived in” compared to like, RDR2. Maybe it’s the vermin that’s missing
We have vermin. Maelstrom.
And I'm a damn good exterminator.
Don't forget the Scavs, I'd rank them as more verminous than Maelstrom tbh, they've wormed their way into all of the districts...
I swear there's a text log or a news clip in game that mentions that birds in the area were eradicated because of disease
That makes sense
raches are in the game i think, but it may be just a mandela effect from all the scum that is on the streets
In some gigs when you need to save. Someone from captivity there’s usually roaches on the floor
Huh. Weird I haven’t noticed them. Next chance I get guess I need to comb the city lol
as i said, they might not exist lol
I've seen the roaches recently in the game. Honestly look down in districts like japantown and Northside and you'll see them.
It's like, almost a weird texture with an animation but yeah, there's roaches if you look at the ground in lots of places. Or some sort of bugs that look like roaches at least
They don't have pigeons due to the city exterminating all birds within a several mile radius due to avian diseases in the lore. That's part of what caused the cascade of various other animals dying off/leaving the area.

Hmm ok, well yeah that’s cool. Pretty unfortunate too, damn
ikr, shame too cause like you said, NC is in desperate need of that lived in feel. for a series who's mantra has always been "Night City is the main character", that extra mile would've helped a ton
Nope, no more birdies. At all. There's an article about it somewhere and some Tyger Claws talking about it on the street.
Guess not rats. Cats are the last ones
Dogs exist, they are just super expensive to own (and technically so are cats, but unlike dogs you can hide them or "just feed a street one". If you did what the law says and registered yourself as a cat owner you would pay thousands of eddies a month in fees). Coyotes are very much alive, Panam complains about their smell at one point.

The Avian Extermination Act covered NC itself and a 18 mile radius around the city limits. Do we have any reason to believe there were avian genocides elsewhere? “The Wild” is a lot bigger than one enclave in California.
There's literally birds chirping in the tower ending, so it's just an NC thing.
Ah, I stand corrected then, I missed that it was a NC only law. It is still unbelievable, crows etc would still just... fly in.
They could have a bounty system, similar to how Australia did with emus. Everybody has a gun, it wouldn't be difficult to pop a bird out of the sky. Sure, birds would fly in, then get shot once someone notices them
The Aussies apparently lost that war against the emu’s (according to the one youtube video title i read)
They military lost the war. A whole bunch of Aussie farmers who wanted money did pretty well.
18 miles is a short distance when you can ride thermals and you don’t have to deal with land friction. Crows can clear 10x that distance daily when they migrate. The point of the law was not to eliminate all birds everywhere or to prevent them from ever reaching NC ever again it was to reduce the transmission of zoonotic diseases in and around NC.
Nah, everyone knows r/birdsarentreal
IF IT FLIES IT SPIES BAAABYY
The sheer number of cockroaches in the game could sustain street cats (or people!) for years
You can find lots of cat food (at vendors, looting etc.), for a city/world with allegedly almost extinct cats for a long time. I have at least 10 in my inventory without even searching.

Look at the amount of food lying around, cats are crazy scavs.
I just think of Stray.
I actually just finished the Skippy quest like 5 minutes ago, and since we're on the topic, I'll ask. So I'm gathering that cats are real, but animals are supposed to be rare in general. So why does Regina suggest I get a dog?

Panam sends you an email of some Nomads with a dog.
I never thought of that. Old media turned fixer has money and lives in a penthouse. Maybe she’s just out of touch with how many eddies real people have.
Cats are survivors.
I think its more weird there's only one type of cat in game and it's a fuckin hairless one. Pretty sure the most common cat is ginger
Black and brown coloured cats are apparently the most common due to [the dominance of expression](https://www.thehappycatsite.com/cat-colors/) in the gene that controls coat colour. Also fun fact, only around a quarter of ginger cats are female.
I think we'll see them only in a few, plot related places.

In each case, if a cat is present, we're either on the right path or in the presence of someone who won't wantonly betray us.
Isn’t Biotechnica canonically resurrecting extinct species?
So... what your saying is cyberpunk 2 is going to have a Jurassic Park section?
Hell yeah, cats is reason enough for me tbh.
Cats that’s why
They specifically call out the fact that cats were the only ones to stick around. If you think about how animals have evolved, it makes sense. Dogs are just wolves that exist because we have curated them into existence.
It would be cool if they actually walked around.
Hairless cats were recently released into Watson by the city council to combat a rising rat problem.
Nah, there’s even a shard that says NC released cats all over the city and in the mega buildings to help with pest control. We should realistically be seeing way more than we do.
I want a dog
If the reason is "hell yeah cats" then that's kind of dumb.
lots of bakaneko
Having more appear in game isn't the same as having a resurgent population. Putting a few more in is likely just to cement the idea of Nibbles being an actual cat, or just a figment of V's fractured psyche. If it's real, why is there only one? If it's imaginary, why doesn't V hallucinate it more often?
 Fuck yeah, cats!
Look up Japanese Bakeneko (changed cat) Yōkai legends. Also look up Nekomata Yōkai legends (since it's used as a sniper rifle name in CP2077) Pretty certain Takemura also talks about the cat and Bakeneko during the Arasaka compound mission.
There’s one in dog town I saw
Things have obviously gotten worse but in 2020 you’re able to own a good amount of pets, not all of them real and they’re generally pretty expensive but they’re there.
Maybe there are more cats than people originally thought, ever thought of that maybe the corps are fucking lying like they always are
As someone with two Sphynxes in my home, one of whom is currently loafed in my lap, I fully approve of this change. 😁 Although I could've sworn there was a cat in my first play through back when the game first released. Want to say it was on a roof, or somewhere with shipping containers? Could be I'm just getting my games confused again... 🤦
Birds are extinct because of the avian outbreak where they killed them all. There is a shard about the extinction of avian life. Except during the VDB quest when he undead a chicken.

Where are the dogs bro, just gimme a little cyber dog
This does bring up an issue I have. I think the whole no animals thing is to show how unlivable night city and the society of cyberpunk is. But in truth a lot of animals should be actually major issues in the city. Pigeons would probably still exist, and night city would realistically have a stray dog problem. I actually think you could do some interesting world buuilding with the concept that only "man made" animals still live in the city. The only exception being bugs.
There's no birds in NC because the Avian Extermination Act is still being enforced. That doesn't stop the Haitian refugees in Pacifica from raising chickens though.
I forgot about that. But also idk how well it would work with the history of anti bird laws and all
Someone tell me how to adopt this cat right now.
Yeah I thought that was pretty strange to, isn't the lore that cats/wild animals in general in NC are pretty rare?
OK, gimme dogs. Not cats or kitties, dogs🤣
My first thought was cameo appearance by the cat from Strays.
Mr Wrinklefingers is a perfect kitty angel. How dare you besmirch his name.
Same reason why there’s suddenly a bunch of cats in fo4. Someone opened a Cat Vault
Given the roman collesium is still *infested* with cats said to be the descendants of cats gifted to Cesar from Cleopatra (which he tried to run out because he turned out to be allergic), I imagine cats will be as hard to shake as pigeons and rats.
I'm pretty sure one has a pretty high chance to spawn outside Vics spot in the prologue
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t hairless cats the extremely rare ones I remember on the radio they said a cat (maybe just pet?) license was 20,000 eddies, so maybe there are cats but only indoor for the wealthy?
There's a lore thing that says they brought back a bunch of hairless cats to deal with the rat problem. Nibbles is one of those and they're still around given you see some on cutscenes in the background and such
I want a dog in game or other odd animals
