Pets can die

[wizkid3773]

I had the black and white cat out for as long as I can remember (the normal one, not zombie cat), so long in fact I didn't even notice the cat anymore, until it died.

This occurred in ACT III in Twin Elms. I had upset one of the factions so that I was targeted by everyone in the map. A massive battle ensued resulting in a very high body count. At the end of it all I noticed my cat lying on its side in the middle of all the mayhem. When I walked away, the cat carcass would drag along behind me.

Funny and disturbing at the same time. I was feeling bad having to witness my loyal animal friend in this way. This persisted across map boundaries, the dead cat would be trailing behind me everywhere I went, dragging across the ground exactly in the manner you may have seen in a lot of those 'taking my cat for a walk on a leash' videos.

When the humor became a bit too morbid, I put the cat back into our bag of holding and brought it out again and Voila - alive once more.

So they can't really die.

Are you sure your cat wasn't proned during battle and didn't get up because of a glitch?

I had it happen with party members staying proned and not getting up. Gliding on their ass when you ask them to move around. If you just save, quit and reload, it resets to normal.

interesting ... sounds plausible. I knew it was a glitch of some sort; I haven't experienced it with any of my characters though. Thought it was funny.,

I actually had my pet tank a boss once. I wish I could say it was intentional; but my little hound somehow got between me and the boss and kept him away from me. It was like having a tank who couldn't be hit.
