Ok, not sure where to ask this, so I'll try here, might be lucky.
Is there a way to turn aggressive animals (that aren't supposed to be) to non aggressive again? I've might hit and maybe even kill a cat accidentally during a fight (pretty possible, I admit) and since that moment every cat (with the exception of my dear Kitty in Aleroth and some quest ones, like Diana's pet and of course sir Arhu) is chasing me, same goes for dogs (not wolves, domestic creatures in the human settlements) and bees. I don't even remember to hit a bee on our first meeting, they immediately went berserk on me. Not that cats do any damage or what, but they are simply annoying. I'm doing quests, minding my own business, strolling through a city and suddenly a nearby cat's going after me (chased a rabbit or a rat first, but once that's done, they turn on my poor self), then another one and a next one not far away from us. The "Charm", or "Aura of Command" spells don't work on them, is there a trick, that might be worth it? I have some bottles with milk in a chest and also some fish, cats do love fish, don't they? Although Divninity's cats are probably a different fish hating species with my bad luck.
So any help would be appreciated. It might look like it's just an unimportant detail or anything, but in fact it's an immersion breaking issue for me (besides I don't acknowledge unimportant details, no detail is of no importance, every little bit counts). The game is overall awesome, but all that aggression from animals, that in a city should be peaceful, domesticated, non aggressive, it just doesn't feel good.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get animals neutral/friendly again after they turn hostile.
Though they can be annoying, it shouldn't take long to take care of the problem (they are basically requesting assisted suicide). evil

It's not difficult to dispose of them (with so little health it takes one hit), but am I, as a person, who helps people whenever and wherever can, supposed to be an animal mass murderer even more in a city, where everyone can witness such a terrible act? Shame that it can't be fixed in any way, well I have to live with it then. Thank you for your reply.
And does killing animals in a city affect reputation? I remember having rep of 28, then it dropped to 26, but I'm not really sure, that I made some rep dropping choices (killing innocent, evil choices and stuff). It's still possible that I did something wrong (well aside from killing cute animals, that is), but I try to play the good girl, a soon-to-be-hero, or the Divine in training for reference, so bad choices are a big no for me.

NPCs don't react to killing animals that attack you; you can get a reputation drop for attacking friendly NPCs, though.

There are also reputation drops when completing certain quests (imp and orc council member quests, for example, or when leaving the castle [though in that case there is a bonus when entering that partially compensates]).

Thanks for the list, so the drop comes from joining the thieves it seems, didn't know that, seems like everyone in Rivelon knows, which guilds I'm joining, even when I do in secrecy. XD When joining the Thieves guild I was refusing to tell them, that I already joined two other guilds, but I guess they already know me from head to toes. XD
