A house cat, please--with the option to have it immune to harm. Actually, a variety of animals would be nice, but my main character wants a house cat.

I dont care for a pet in a game. And if i got one in skyrim i probly would end up turning him into a huge fireball and throwing him off a mountain where sharp spikes will meet he's burning body in 30 m/s or possibly a dragon could catch the dog in mid-air and eat the dog. Disturbing, i know, but who would want a virtual dog following you?

I agree with this too. Unless we're allowed to choose to tame animals I do not want one. I would also act in the same manner as Fedda

In order to make sure the pet acctually dies we must kill it in sevreal ways:

Cut the pet with a swoord (poisoned sword off course), throw a fireball at it, throw it off a high mountain and make sure it hits a lake.

In this way we would get a real multikill;

the pet would die off bloodloss, poison, badly burns, high velocity impact, drowning and at last freeze to death. If a mudd-crap comes along and eat the remains this is just a bonus.

No pets for me in Skyrim.

Enjoy the massacre--it'll be your game, afterall. But for me, a housecat.

pet cat for the house
