    • []Bectile made a mod which gives unique names to the lovely cats. Names for Xtudo's Version of Mihail's Housecats. Very nice, check it out![/]

      []House Cats - Cat Follower - Ironclaw by hagbaby. A simple combat enabled cat follower using the vanilla animal follower system. What he lacks in features he more than makes up for with violence! :D[/]

      I made it for my game and now I'm sharing it, I hope you like it.

        💡 Beginner Tips

        • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install — it's a simple drag-and-drop, but the optional patches need to be selected carefully.
        • If you use the petting patch, make sure you have the base mod installed first, then overwrite with the patch.
        • Since it's ESL, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other animal mods helps avoid conflicts.
