Are the buzzards back? : Fallout: New Vegas

If you ever see a crazed or wild rottweiler or any other type of dog around the same size, you would find them pretty deadly...
cats on the other hand are smaller and usually just run away therefore they are less dangerous and would be more hunted than dogs
sides we also have coyotes and wolves which are related to dogs, so if they survive dogs might as well too...

I'm sure I'd find a wildcat around the same size to be pretty deadly too.

It has been shown that deference to humans is ingrained in dogs. As in... easier to take aside, and then slit their throat, and wait for them to bleed out before prepping them for eating.

House cats, maybe not likely to make it. Outdoor cats are likely to survive. And they'd have a purpose too, as the early domesticated cats did: mousing. Mice, rats, and other vermin can't eat and ruin the foodstuffs if they're dead.

I don't remember ever seeing buzzards in the sky over settlements in FO3.

I recall seeing a FO:NV screenshot in an article of the PC boxing a Super Mutant and it the top of the pictre you could make out the tiny shape of a bird. So i'm pretty darn sure there are birds, even if they happen to be non-interactive and just hover above.

While I still think cats could not survive too long if they couldn't mutate into something more dangerous, like wild canines are dangerous enough without mutation... point is that small cats would probably be hunted not only by people, but also most animals in the wasteland...
Larger cats however, like bobcats, cougars, and jaguars; they have no reason to not be in the game since im sure a small pack (3 or so) could even take down a deathclaw... we should probably get back on topic...

No way on attacking birds people did any of you play morrowind, I hated the damn attacking birds in that game so annoying and they always attacked at the worst times while trying to sneak past some other danger or while fighting some terrible foe, they were just too much too often lol.

this...
i agree with this...

Yeah it made it feel very survivalist.

Kinda like red dead redemption, Good way to find loot. But I agree a hundred percent, it was a good way to spot towns. Although I didn't notice them untill the end of my first play through when I just found megaton. Megaton was hiding from me the entire 90+ hours of my first play through. :facepalm:
