So I'm wandering around Sandy Coves Convalescent Home. The synths started yelling hostile detected. They run right by me and all attack a cat in the room. 0.o

In their FEV lab you can find several dead house cats.

well you just don't want a cat in your FEV vat........Super MuCat

Maybe the synths have electronic allergies

So much for my headcanon that all the commonwealth cats are secretly synth spies.

Another reason to hate the Institute.

cats = static electricity ? Now I want to see if the human looking synths react to cats

I want one.

Wouldn't surprise me. Synths have some very odd proclivities. You can learn from a terminal that for some reason every Gen 3 synth really likes Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.

So if you're ever afraid there might be a synth infiltrator in your settlement, just feed everyone a ton of Fancy Lads and shoot anyone that doesn't get fat.

Or Khajiit

Damm- if only those asshats at the Compound outside Covenant had figured out the cat thing - beats their 20% success rate with the SAFE test.

Perhaps cats could be used as a synth detection entity. Is there any other evidence pointing to cats and the institute not meshing? Perhaps a console text somewhere?

Sounds like I need to try placing fancy lad snack cakes in synth pockets to see if anything happens.
