Easy prey? If anyone has ever hunted feral cats then they know this is rubbish. Much easier to hunt feral dogs in my experience. Ishotamaninnewreno 10:35, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
- We're talking about Felis Catus not feral cats. L2R.

- You do know that they are the same species, right? I think you're confusing them with Wild Cats.Ishotamaninnewreno 04:01, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

- Well, a feral animal is of a previously domesticated species, but now lives in a wild state. So based on Stacey, and even your statement, we can remove the reference to all surviving cats being hunted to extinction. There are plenty of feral cats (of the species Felis Catus) in the US, and they arent so nice and cuddly that they would make an easy kill. I've changed the text to be more appropriate. After all, its a big assumption that because there aren't any cats "around here" in Stacey's words, the whole species was hunted out of existence, and as you said, Stacey was only referring to domesticated specimens of Felis Catus, and not feral specimens. Thanks for being as friendly as ever! Ishotamaninnewreno 08:43, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Stacy's cat[]
The article used to state that Stacy's cat was killed by her mother. It was based on this: "People would hunt them because they were such easy prey. None of them are around anymore because of it." ... "Those [Cats] were the wild ones, but I'm sure that's what happened to mine. Now I know why Mom always kept a close eye on her". This doesn't state that Stacy's cat was killed (and eaten) by her mother, just that her mother kept a close eye on her, presumably because of the risk of someone else trying to catch and eat her.
Fallout 3[]
It says that cats are only referenced twice.
...where's the second reference, exactly? Nitty Tok. 22:23, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't it a comment made by Sierra Petrovita? It's not listed on that page but I think I remember reading something about it. Then again she's all engrossed with her Nuka Cola obsession so idk. --Kris mailbox 23:51, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
Cats are referenced by Wadsworth/Godfrey. When asking him to tell you a joke he may say "Did you know that irradiated cats have 18-half lives."Shadow 00:45, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
Biological noncence - extinction of the cats[]
From the standpoint of modern biology, it is very difficult to imagine the extinction of cats. The ruins of the cities provide an excellent ecological niche for predators, who knows how to climb.
Neither dogs nor mole rats or deathclaws are not capable of effectively climbing. So, in city ruins, cats may be well-protected and NOT an easy prey.
Well, there are living cats in Fallout 4. I guess that proves that Mr. House was mistaken in his statement about their extinction. Any thoughts? --76.177.0.183 19:38, November 14, 2015 (UTC)
House didn't have any intel that extended much further than the rocky mountains. In the harsh conditions of California, it's possible that every cat on the west coast died out.{{SUBST:User:Legofan/Signature}} 02:22, November 15, 2015 (UTC)
First canon game? How come it's canon if whole Bethesda BS isn't?
Cats could go extinct in the fallout universe quite easily actually. Sure they would technically be hard prey in some cases, however consider that the small animals that cats prey on would also likely go extinct due to lack of vegetation or evolve into the giant rats seen in the games. If you also factor in humans not keeping cats as pets in the early years after the bombs and competing with them for any food source it becomes more plausible
- Not really, we see small animals and small animal meat in Fallout. There is a reason feral cats are a pest in many areas. Not to mention vaults, where many probably would smuggle in cats. Outside of Mr. House's remark in New Vegas, I've never read any statement in Fallout saying cats are extinct or endangered. It seems to be just something fans decided given their lack of presence and a mention of some being eaten, but that hardly means they are extinct. Most likely they are simply more of a luxury item then they were pre-war. Vrung (talk) 23:02, October 27, 2017 (UTC)
