A cat is a small creature, kept as pets and sometimes seen living freely in the wasteland.

Background

Found in Carbon, the Commonwealth, Appalachia, and Broken Hills.[1] Utilized as food during times of famine, some towns no longer have cats.[2] Mr. House believes them to be extinct.[3]

Wastelanders encountered across the former United States either own cats, talk about their past pets, or make references to cats as slang and cliches.[4][5][6][7] Similar to before the war, cats are usually found near human habitation.[8][9]

Notes

  • A resident of the Den named Stacy will share information about a cat she used to have as a child named Cuddles and remarks there are no more cats in the Den.[2] Listening to her story is a quest one can complete while learning about her pet.
  • A man in Broken Hills mentions his pet cat and a Shark Club comedian makes a joke about a super mutant trying to get a cat out of a tree.
  • In Fallout Shelter, one can enlist the help of several breeds of cat for exploring the wasteland. That cats will assist dwellers by protecting them and helping them return to the vault with valuable items.

Appearances

Cats appear in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Fallout Shelter. They are mentioned in Fallout 2, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

  • The canceled Van Buren planned to include cats, including friendly domestic cats and enemies in the wasteland such as bobcats and panthers.[Doc 1]
  • The description of the Ocicat from Fallout Shelter ("The closest you'll get to an ocelot. Revolver not included.") is a reference to Metal Gear Solid character Revolver Ocelot.
