📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Adds a new feline companion, Jack, to the Northside motel apartment!
You can find Jack there once you have purchased the apartment.
Jack has 11 different spots he can be found at around the apartment, and can also be petted the same was as in the Pet The Cat mod.
Change the cat's appearance?
You can pick and choose what the cat looks like with the Apartment Cats: Custom Cats mod!
How to pet Jack:
Upon entering the apartment, approach Jack and Greet/Fuss him (not available if he is asleep, let him sleep!)
Once fussed/greeted enter and leave the shower or wardrobe.
If you showered he will be sat at the food bowls, if you used the wardrobe he'll be next to the couch.
Now you can give him pets!
(If he is asleep simply use the bed, or run out of the apartment, along the balcony/corridor and back, and he'll change to a new spot)
Who is Jack?
Angy's pet, Jack
Is this compatible with other cat mods?
Yes! This mod is fully compatible with Pet Your Cat, Apartment Cats: The Glen / Nali, Apartment Cats: Corpo Plaza / Leia and Cat Replacers for Nibbles (but the re-placers shouldn’t affect Jack)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,324 endorsements, 1.2M downloads) — this cat is a fan favorite.
- 9 different spots means Jack actually feels alive, not just a static prop.
- Petting mechanic matches the beloved Pet The Cat mod, so you know it's good.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one cat — if you wanted a whole clowder, this isn't it.
- No mention of compatibility with other mods that alter the motel area — could conflict.
- Last updated in early 2025 — might not be updated for future game patches.
For Fallout 4 players who want a bit of life in their apartment and love the Pet The Cat mod. If you're a completionist who wants every companion, or just want a furry friend to come home to, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls — this is purely a companion addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Pet The Cat mod installed if you want the petting animation to work as described.
- Visit the Northside motel apartment in-game to find Jack — he's not added to your inventory.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
