Important
If you're using several petting mods, you'll have to merge the FormID List - AR_SmallDogs, so you won't lose any of the edits (I recommend you to use SSEEdit to do it).
I made it for my game and now I'm sharing it, I hope you like it.

Pet the Cats SE is a small animation add-on for Skyrim Special Edition that lets you pet cats using the Immersive Interactions - Animated Actions framework. It's a niche cosmetic mod with strong community support (1,313 endorsements) and frequent updates, ideal for players who want more immersive interactions with animals.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,313 endorsements and over 400k downloads—clearly a favorite among immersive players.
- Tiny add-on that slots right into Immersive Interactions, so if you already use that mod, this is a no-brainer.
- Frequent updates mean it's likely kept in line with the latest Immersive Interactions versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Immersive Interactions - Animated Actions—if you don't have that mod, this is useless on its own.
- Only adds cat petting—if you wanted dogs or other animals, you'll need to look elsewhere.
For Skyrim players who already use Immersive Interactions and want to add a wholesome touch to their game. If you're a cat lover and enjoy immersive roleplay, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Immersive Interactions or want broader animal interaction mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Immersive Interactions installed and enabled before adding this mod, and load this mod after it in your mod order.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- Test in a save where you haven't already interacted with cats to see the new animation immediately.
