Xeonyx Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 So, got another thought, if dogs are supposed to be introduced, why not cats? As many cat owners know the "thrill" of waking up in the morning to a gift mouse or rat, why not use it for its literal intent? In the event of an apocalypse with imminent doom around every corner and a less than empty fridge, a gift from ones pet cat could benefit both parties. Another thing that cats would be good for is attacking mice or rats looking for a quick meal on the players food reserves. The fact that cats tend to be more independent plays into the players advantage too based on minimal care requirements, but a good rub or cuddle could also help depression and boredom, especially the companion factor if live survivors are nowhere in sight. Sorry for the long post but it seemed relevant to post. Some Clever Username, Drious, Vonholtz and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonholtz Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Cat and dogs could also be used to lower sadness and boredom. And if they don't bring you a mouse from time to time you can cook them up for dinner. But yes cat would be a nice add to the game.

Some Clever Username Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I like the idea of having Kitty Cats around! With dogs and cats and hopefully horses as well as other animals, I can finally create an almost all animals group in PZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORMtnMan Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I can see a cat now. "oh, you are trying to hide from zombies? So, I shouldn't have lead them here then...?" EDIT:Then Benny Hill music plays as I chase the cat around the base with a broom while zombies chase me.

Packbat Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think horses in particular would probably not last long without survivors protecting them and caring for them, but they could be an awesome addition eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, horses really would not survive at all if not for people. Though while still healthy they could easily outrun zombies. The image of my character walking down a country road with rifle in hand then see a horse charge across the road with zombies in tow would be frickin sweet.

syfy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 horses would not survive without people? guys, we still, to this day, have herds of wild horses roaming areas of America and thriving without any human contact.as skittish as horses are, no zombie would EVER get close enough to them to do any damage.

Packbat Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 A valid point - again, though, that pretty much means no living horses in town by the end of the month without human caretakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardman55 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The only animal i wouldn't eat would be a german shepherd. Damn I love these dogs.Maybe if I'd see a stray cat id just let it run off. But if I'm hungry...*Dayum cats and dogs are DELICIOUS.* No honestly, if you were desperate, would you not kill a cat and dog to eat em? I seriously hope this thread isn't only about pets right now lol. Some Clever Username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point, there are herds of wild horses, but I would also point out that all native North American horse breeds died out between 11 to 13 thousand years ago. All the horses you see today were introduced by us (by that I mean conquistadores and the like) I also agree the horses would easily outrun them while in good health but they (horses) are still prone to broken legs and can be slowed down if sick or pregnant. EDIT: Also wild horse herds are really only found in AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, UT and WY and have a total population of just over 49k if you include wild Burros also.

retepultimate Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Maybe the escaped horses would come together and make a herd Yes i know that it would probaly not happen Some Clever Username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packbat Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 ...you know, this thread is making me want the devs to add horses solely because so many survivors would move heaven and earth to protect them.

Not sarcasm: that seems really sweet. I agree, it would suck having to feed them, they would get spooked by the dead bodies... but they would be really useful for rebuilding a post apocalypse society (which I realize is not within the scope of this game) Some Clever Username and Packbat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retepultimate Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 if i would have a horse in project zomboid i think i would try to protect it all cost. and i would call him jeffrey Packbat, Bobdafilter and ORMtnMan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeonyx Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Horses would really be beneficial after the gas runs out for carrying goods too, though it'd suck to have it get spooked and run off with all your goods Packbat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
