When I found cat meat in the institute, it was decided that I would bomb the crap out of them, so I sided with the Brotherhood of Steel!

Thats what made my decision easy as well. i used Kelloggs gun to put a bullet in fathers head, seemed only fair i used the same gun that was used on my wife.

LMFAO same here feed cats to supper mutants eat rads pinheads Ad Victoriam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got round to doing that quest today. Then I used Deliverer to deliver some swift justice.

Your response was not an overreaction and was completely justified.

A Roman Legionaire killed a cat in Egypt and got mobbed to death.

The magistrate basically went: That idiot should have read up on local customs, mob not guilty!

You only discovered cat meat when you reached the Institute? I found a trader in the middle of the woods that had like 100 cats and when I looted her store/shack she had containers of it.

I already knew they were eating dogs and molerats before then.

Why would cats be any more surprising in a wasteland of starvation and danger?

Well, I don't care about Wastelanders eating dogs. Apart from my dog. All the rest are vicious mutated mongrels, and some are even suicide bombers.

But the pvssycats... they just hang around looking cute.

To be honest the Cat on Prydwen was a sole reason that I've hesitated to blow it up... I did it eventually, but the Cat... I'm a monster. But the Institute... nuke 'em, no remorse.

It's a very lean protein with a great amino acid profile.

Anyone selling cat meat in the wasteland will have a bulls eye on them.
