Maybe I haven't gotten far enough, but is the Black Cat that follows you important? It has followed me since the start of the game, and every time it dies, I feel sorry and reset whatever I was doing. So, I just wanted to know how [spoiler:maybe?] to possibly change it back? I have the pet pal perk, it seems as if it might have been poly-morphed? [/spoiler] or to get read of it, or if its worth saving every time it dies.

It also easily gets lost (example if fleeing).

I have no idea where my black cat currently is, I just know it didn't die. Where it got stuck and I lost it... no clue.

I wonder if that could be Arhu in disguise... like after some magical accident which turned his fur black...

Am I the only one who actually restarted the entire game when the cat died?

And now the stupid thing is lost! I miss that little fur face. I wonder what that was all about..?

No, I did that too, although it was fairly close to the beginning! As with seemingly everyone else, though, mine has wandered off somewhere and is nowhere to be seen.

We have a similar visiting black cat IRL that also follows me around meowing until it gets bored and goes to sleep somewhere.

I felt bad for the thing, I apparently couldn't help it with whatever it wanted and now it's lost. Poor creature.

Perhaps it'll reappear later in the game?

My cat was shot down by guards. I just moved forward like it never happened.... :<

I kept expecting Ahru to pop up but the guards murdered the crap out of the cat guess I will never know.

I want this cat as my in-game pet. I love cats. I hope he has a cool quest coming for it.

If you have Pet Pal talent it appears to be running from someone and confused. I think it is connected to some quest, perhaps unfinished?

Yea, I thought someone turned him into a cat. He was all confused and didn't know what's going on.

It's very possible no doubt, I appear to have lost him too, which makes me sad :(

First one guard shot him but I reloaded and tried to save him. But after some time he lost interest and ran away ^^

Yeah with Pet Pal it's hinted he might not actually be a cat.
Mine was eaten by a Hound when I wasn't looking frown

Maybe it's just an elaborate joke, someone played a trick on a poor fellow and now he's stuck as a cat. I too thought of Arhu, but he was white. On the other hand, he was sane (as far as mages go) as well. Hm.

Did you get a tooth when he died? Is it a random object or might it be important?
(it seems to be a random tooth from the description, though)

I actually purposely had it killed my second play through, because you cant talk to Buddy when the cat is near.

I'd been expecting Arhu to show up at some point via this Black Cat but each playthrough I either lose him due to teleporting / area transitions / vine and ladder climbing, or he gets slaughtered by a random Magister.

I've read rumors about it being related to an unimplemented quest we'll see on official release. It'd be neat to see Arhu at some point. Since you know... Arhu is like thousands of years old and whatnot. Can only assume.


In my line of work, it's never a quiet day on the market.
