In Skyrim, you'll see them in almost every city and farm, sometimes inside houses as well. The Bards College has a curious unique pet cat called Puss in Boots, dark in color and wearing a pair of booties and a hat with a white feather on top, which in a way confirms that house cats have long since abandoned their roles of pest controllers."
