See Vault 02. It started in 2077 with one old lady and 2 cats. If you stumble upon it in 2277 or 2281, it's full of cat skeletons, ultra-feral cannibal cats, and FECES!

Tweety happened.

Nope most got eaten by their owners when food ran short, those that did not the ~~cartoon mice~~ mutated rats, willie coyote's or other hostile life would have.

I think, the not mutated house cat would be useless as a pet. It cannot be used to keep vermin in check, because it would be http://llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target33.html for mole rats and radroches.

Cats control the Enclave, that's how they survived. Richardson and eden are just puppets. STOP THE CATS BEFORE THEY CONQUER ALL.

In vault 11, you can see vault boy's pet cat in the slideshow.

I would have thought wildcats and big cats would be still around and mutated.

Domestic cats I would have thought would survive if they escaped. Or were outside when the bombs and radiation hit or after.

They are more whily and smarter than dogs.

And wildcats and big cats are vicous and one of the most dangerous creatures around.

Mutated big cats and wildcats, and cats would be awesome!

It makes no sense that the cats died out.

They should have made them in the games.

plus dogs were used for hunting
cats .... not so much
also what about wild cats like lions (could come from a zoo) or a cougar
what happened to them
what ?_? wild cats were hunted to
and zoo animals
that would explain some things
like there being no zoos

a mutated monkey, perhaps a mutated silver back gorilla and some FEV along with a couple of Enclave scientist made up a Behemoth, but most zoos are located in or around cities which were probably most targeted by nukes so the zoos were most likely destroyed

Domesticated cats are quite capable of surviving in the wild. They are good at hunting. Think of all of the nice dead creatures they bring into your house.

Dogs are ill-equipped to live without people. Feral dogs scavenge for food, they don't hunt - even terriers that kill rats and such aren't really hunting - they're "playing." Dogs would only survive with our aide.

Curious why molerats (moles or rats?) yao guai (bears) and cazadores (moths?) and most inexplicably Brahmin (cows) have mutated into giant, or otherwise freakish organisms while cats and dogs have not.

Also, why weren't any Prewar animals preserved in a vault, like an ark? Seems logical. . .

I agree. Cats are more killer instinct and dogs are more scavengers. They do not go straight to the hunting.
Cats wander round on their own all the time. They are resourceful.

I would have thought they would at least have a animal gene bank.

If not a vault with animals.

Or a hidden zoo.

And zoo animals I would have thought would have escaped and have killed any or most hunters that came after them.

Aren't there a few lore references to cats surviving in small numbers here and there?

I think the explanations (cats are extinct, etc) were concocted just because cats weren't programmed into the first couple games and then became 'common knowledge', but I could be wrong.

I don't see any reason why there couldn't be a few cats skulking around here and there; we haven't seen any squirrels, either, but we know they are there. Hmm.. if they are squirrels... maybe there's a cat farm somewhere?

if anyone here saw the programme 'life after humans' you would understand that actually although cats are closer to being feral anyway, they don't evolve fast enough. Dogs could evolve back into a more wolf like creature much easier than cats could evolve back into truly wild creatures.

And this isn't theory based on theory it theory based on real world evidence.

I agree. They probabely came about because they did not programme cats in the first two games.

Maybe they were too hard or something.

I don't see why they could not make cats in the newer Fallout 3 with the newer game engine though.
