What to do with a cat?

Re: Re: What to do with a cat?

So it did something all cats do and he's suspicious?

Have it...
...suddenly run at top speed around the room/inn/house they are in, for no apparent reason.
...stare at a spot on the wall for hours without moving.
...show up at th exact time they normally eat dinner, even though it's been unfindable all day.
...sit on his chest as he sleeps, usually parking it's big fat cat butt right over his nose and mouth so he wakes up in short order, suffocating.

...walk everywhere the PC does, while remaining in between his legs. (Balance check!)
...ignore completely any attempts to befriend it.
...instead, it will gravitate towards the PC who hates cats the most or is allergic to cats.

If the characters own a stronghold, then the cat will vomit on the most expensive piece of carpeting/furniture in the place. Every time.

Especially if the character is a spellcaster, the cat will leap upon them several times per night, waking them up with demands to be fed.

Alrighty then, would it hurt to use proper grammer.

Just keep chanting to yourself "Punctuation is my friend. Punctuation is my friend..."

It should help

A few months ago, someone here came up with a fantastic idea. It's just a cat... but it can't die. No one knows why. It's totally non-magical, but if you fold, spindle or mutilate it, later it shows up just fine and unconcerned. It's actually living forever.

Oh yeah. The cat came back the very next day....

Another thing to add to the list of cat behaviors: Sometimes it lays in wait under the bed. When you throw your bare feet over the side in the morning, the cat attacks them, shredding your ankles to ribbons.

You're referring to the Cat of Felkovic, which was in a Ravenloft boxed set or two, but got its best-ever exposure in the Ravenloft adventure Felkovic's Cat in a not-so-recent issue of Dungeon (I want to say around 40 or so). It was indeed a good adventure.

That was the first Dungeon i ever bought, and that adventure might be the reason that i got into Advanced D&D from normal lil D&D in the 5th grade or so. Awesome adventure!!!

The cat is completely non-supernatural, but happens to look similar, by complete coincidence, to a favoured polymorph form of an ultra-powerful creature. Have the party bump into a servant of the ultrapowerful creature, that they have no hope of defeaing, and they know it. It prepares to destroy them all....then notices the cat, says "Oh, sorry boss, didn't realise they were with you." and leaves.

I've done something similar in my campaign. In one of the early adventures they were exploring the abandoned lair of some heretics, and they found a cat locked in a cage. The cat now follows them just about everywhere. They are not quite sure about the cat. It has refused to go into one or two places that later turned out to be bad places to go into. One night when they were attacked by a dragon, some magic missiles came out of a nearby forest and hit the dragon. When they went to check out the forest, all they found was the cat. They cast speak with animals, and said it was this crazy old man named Cormag they keep running into. Next session should be interesting. That's where some other heretics kidnap the cat and chain it to an altar.

Send emails to each of the **other** players saying:

"I will give each of you 50 bonus xp per game session if, regardless of what I do with the cat to a particular player, you act as if **it was just a cat**"

Everything I learned from roleplaying I eventually stole from Paranoia. (;

Give the cat prehensil front paws so it can hold onto things, like a pipe, and have it act in very humanoid ways. Don't have it talk; it will drive your PCs crazy when they try to communicate with it. Have the PCs light up his pipe for him when the cat gestures to them with the pipe. Have it just act annoyed whenever they try to pantomime something to it, and if they pick it up have it try to spring away to continue puffing away at it's leisure... like a real cat. No tricks, evil, etc, just have it act like a grumpy old man that doesn't need the party in the least that shows up unexpectedly once in a while, like he is observing the PC's progress.

Cat tails

Gouge out one of it's eyes, cut off one of it's paws and send it out to sea for a few years.
Then make it a moderator.......
