Misha would be too busy worrying about anyone and everyone around her to have a pet.

And I must say that was an ... interesting discussion.

IQ 8 is literally slightly under average human intelligence. If you want it, go ahead, but it's an actually sentient cat. It's about an 6-8 five year old's intelligence or a slightly dumb person. If you go ahead with it do be aware that it is not a normal mundane cat, since normal animals have fixed IQ. In addition, its ST is quite under the norm (normal cats have ST 4, ST 2 is an absurdly weak or small cat). Mute is literally that, mute, it can't even meow. If you want a cat able to make sounds, you want "Cannot Speak [-15]". Get Social Stigma (Valuable Propriety) [-10] instead of the one you have now. It also needs Horizontal [-10], and probably should have Hidebound [-5] but I'm leaving this one optional to you, specially if you make an ultra smart cat.

A few other points that you should be aware: It has a night vision much better than an average cat as well (normal cats have it at 5). Appearance means it's more beautiful than an average cat, for other cats. I'm willing to allow it to have a version for human beings, with the special options impressive and androgynous. You'd need to buy appearance to other cats and to human beings in separate unless it gets buy the universal modifier for the appearance. If you want it to be adorable I'd also recommend that you get "pitiable" for it.

After reading all this, I have come to the understanding that Sky is basically making one of these for his character to own:

It still don't have fine manipulators, so instead of hand it'd have pawns. Also, it's name is Mr.Fluffy...

It's a catboy!

...god darn it, this is REALLY starting to be weird.

In other news, I cannot see Eurika as anything other than a fangirl.

I am okay with this.

Also, do we really need a super-intelligent cat? What if someone teaches it how to write? What if it demands its rights and starts a feline revolution? What if being a cat is contagious?!

I hope it's OK for the Disadvantage score to be over -100 >.> IQ points are costly.

I think the template mistook "Mute" and "Cannot Speak", because it also made a number of other errors.

It is not sentient btw.

I will change the social stigma/add horizontal/add hidebound. I'll swap out Attractive for Pitiable, and lower the Night Vision.

...Where did these come from? :P Dangit, is it because of the IQ?

Yes there was mention of a hotel having decent interwebs? Decent enough to try and get a maptools session going Felius?

I have decent interwebs, but didn't test maptools yet on the netbook. In addition, I haven't been able to prepare anything here (first days are always the most busy =p), so if we are to play today I'd prefer if we did SYWBTB instead.
