📋 About This Mod
Want the short version? install this with your favourite mod manager, and find the magazine in red rocket stop(where you first find dogmeat) on top of a table inside it, from than on you can find and place the items under Decorations/statues in the workshop menu in the settlement, the mod explains itself, or use the "Own Icon" version, but you will need "Settlement Menu Manager" mod installed, and all cats and cat furniture will be under Decorations with it's own icon.
This mod let's you place a bed that when cats lie in it, you can pet them and talk to them, the way it works is after placing one of the beds you either press the main action button or secondary action button to either "pet the cat" or "talk to the cat"(the prompts show up on screen), there are 3 lines the player says to talk to the cat, for male and female, and the animation for petting the cat is the same one from "playing with shaun" at the beginning of the game(Shaun is the players baby), these beds should work with regular cats too or modded cats, as long as they lie down on things, they can use these beds.
This mod has no requirements, works with base game and no dlc or any dlc, should work for all versions of the game, and does not touch any game files, it will never create problems in your game.
NEW UPDATE (1. 2)!!
More stuff! YAY! The mod no longer needs you to place 2 beds to be able to pet the cats, from now on you can pet and talk to the cat directly on only one bed! 2 new adorable teddy bear beds added! Added a cushion stack for your kitties to jump and sit on(one for baby cats, and one for normal sized cats), added the option to make your cats normal sized, fixed a bunch of things, including the cat bowls not being able to be moved after placed, pretty much all fixed, and content added, I hope you have fun with it! Now that it is finally rid of most weirdness :P

Extra thing i changed: The small tables for baby cats to jump on, are no longer for every cat in the wasteland, only the cats from this mod may use them, this is so your normal cats don't use furniture made for baby cats, where they will just float in the air instead of sitting properly(only tables for baby cats where changed in this way).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Cats are adorable and add life to your home (85 endorsements)
- ESL flag means it won't eat your load order slots
- 6 color variants give you options to match your decor
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with a niche appeal—if you're not a cat person, this isn't for you
- Only 85 endorsements, so it's not widely tested; expect potential quirks
- Compatibility risk with mods that alter cat behaviors or add new cat NPCs
For Skyrim players who want to add a cozy, immersive touch to their homes with petable cats. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who enjoys small details, this is a charming addition. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic and interactive fluff.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- Place the cat bed in a spot where you'll see it often—cats will lie on it, making your home feel lived-in.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the install to avoid manual file placement errors.
