The game's greatest reward

[Lynfinity]

Gaining enough "Humanity" so the cat allows you to pick him up (and he even cuddles with you in some instances) is, by far, the single greatest reward this game offers you for your efforts.

Just wanted to get that out of my system.

Trufax. That kitty-nuzzle when you have him over your shoulder?

Screw the daddy issues. I'm man enough, right there.

Dogs are better though...

Nah. Dogs and cats are just different.

I have two young dogs. They're affectionate, loyal, and incredibly energetic.

They also live their lives planted up my fourth point of contact, constantly demanding and competing with one another for my attention.

I also have a senior cat who's been with us since he was about six weeks old. He's cantankerous, thinks he's Pawveratti any time a female cat passes by the house, and is generally Eric Cartman with fur in terms of his selfishness.

But he's also my little dude.

I love my dogs. They guard the house, keep my wife and I company, and are--despite all the slobber--a genuinely fantastic addition to our lives.

But the Moo Man has helped me secure the house during severe storms, check on our fish tanks when it's time to feed them, come rushing to the defense of the dogs when something has scared them (dude *threw DOWN* on a raccoon that jumped on the deck one night; tail was up and bottle-brushed, and he was yowling for blood), and comforts my wife when work stress gets severe.

Anyone who thinks cats are standoffish has never taken the time to gain the trust and affection of one. Dogs are awesome, and are better companions than we deserve, but their affection is easily earned, and hard to lose.

For cats, it's the reverse.

Some folks don't like that. To them, all I can do is quote His Majesty: "Hiss! I say, hiss!"

I always found cats as annoying ass***** who just jump on everything, ruin everything and do not give a **** about stuff.

I mean, fair. Moo doesn't care if he interrupts our sleep by vomiting a hairball on our bed at 2 a.m.

But neither of the dogs paused for one second before leaping into my lap right after I'd had a vasectomy, either.

Moo, at least, jumped on the recliner arm.

That's +1 for the cat, in my book.

200% this. I had only one cat in my entire life, back when I was living with parents. Quite a grumpy fella, never liked anyone picking him up or displaying too much affection. Which partially might've been due to the fact that I wasn't treating him nicely when I was a kid.

As we both grew older and I've come to understand the error of my ways, he actually became somewhat affectionate himself. Still didn't like being picked up, but otherwise he grew accustomed to welcoming me back home and just spending time with me in general.

He was almost 19 years old when he passed away. Sure he was never the one to go out, quite the opposite - he was afraid of everything that's happening outside, but still, I'd say that's impressive for a cat to live that long.

I was soooo happy when the Kitty let me pet them.

[The Royal Pain]

I unironically squeed when Spring let us pick him up. Just like. 'You are now my long boy' and all that jazz.
I'm praying that 'gentle nuzzles' isn't too much humanity for the other ending where you can fight the Nameless 'cuz if I have to forsake coming home to cat nuzzles I'm gonna riot.

Only Asian people put cats in games ...
