Hideout cat. He wanders and sits around the place. You can pet him.

  • Now all we need is a way to feed it...lol

  • This is it, everyone - the ultimate mod. The absolute peak. Our lives will never be the same after this. You're not just a modder; you're a god.

    Happy 1

  • the cat is such a yapper i love talking to it like it can hear me

  • I love your mod, can you make it suppourt for 3.10

  • Now it's finally a pleasure to visit my hideout! Thank you! :thumbup: <3

  • best mod ever

  • First of all I'd like to say love this mod, it makes the hideout a lot less lonely. The reason I'm posting is because I want to let you know the cat seems a little loud compared to the rest of the game to the point where it sometimes hurts my ears. If you could make a lower volume version of this mod or add a volume slider it'd be greatly appreciated.

  • I am happy to meet this cat,

    but unfortunately I have to go back to 3.9.X,

    I hope there is an old version of 3.9.(GOOGLE TRANSLATE)

    • Same here. I'm still on 3.9 because 3.9 has a great selection of mods and is very stable.

      Hope I can use this hideout cat mod on 3.9 too.

  • Working great with 3.11.3 Wish I knew how to make mods. A Hideout Dog would be great as well. Thanks Tarkin.

  • I just wanted to say thank you so much for this mod... My IRL fur buddy passed away a couple months ago and I haven't been able to replace her yet. But having this mod put a smile on a lonely guy's face tonight. I spent 2 hours following a virtual kitty around listening to it pur and meow. This is my new #1 SPT mod.


    Small question would it be possible to get the option in the F12 menu to give them a name and have more than 1 kitty roaming around... I feel like my little Charlie would get lonely while I'm out raiding...

  • Greetings! I cant seem to find the cat. In mod settings (hitting F12) I see the option to change the cat color, but cant find the cat. I have a pretty fresh account (lvl 5 EoD). Is there minimum hideout upgrades required before the cat spawns? Also does the pre-load hideout setting effect anything? Thank you so much for the mod! I'm very excited to get it working!

    • From what I can remember no upgrade was needed for the cat to show up, that setting also didn't affect it in any way. I had hideout cats at profile creation so not sure if that could be the issue.

    • yes, requirement is nutrition unit lvl1, I should have added that to the description, just added that

    • Thank you for the reply! I spent like 30 minutes with a helmet light scouring every nook and cranny of my dingy candle lit hideout, including outside the front door area and all the way down the gun range. Fun Fact: With a lvl 4 stash, towards the left side on top of a metal locker cabinet, there is an animal carrier! At one point I thought the little guy might be stuck inside LOL.

      Now that i have lvl1 nutrition I can confidently say this is the greatest mod of all time. No matter how many times SAIN bots kick my balls in that little guy is always happy to see me. S tier mod thanks a million.

    this error occurs in my Player.log and apparently uses a lot of RAM

    • can confirm, but it only happens when just starting going into raid, and not an issue when hideout fully unloads, so whatever

  • I love how lively and interactive he is with the hideout.
    BEST. MOD. EVER.

  • Heard the noises of two cats and came back to this. We need to feature this in a tarkin video

  • 哥们，我太爱你的mod了

    Heart 1

  • Don't think it's possible but doesn't hurt to ask: Is there a chance to backport this mod for spt 3.9.8? It's the most stable version for most people. I updated to 3.11 only for this mod but regretted after the performance issues.

  • This mod is the best!!! The cat is really active, it meows like a real one when descending from objects or climbing onto them, mod is surprisingly well made and it helps keeping last bits of my sanity safe

    Heart 2

  • Can you add a way to feed it?

  • Would love an option to turn down the volume of the steps and purr

  • Таркин, этот мод стал №1 по важности для меня. Ради него я обновился со старой версии (3.9) на которой была целая куча модов
    Огромное спасибо за этого усатого джентельмена, чиллящего на столе в кухне

    Heart 2

  • I just met my cat. I love my cat. I am not moving to newer SPT version (when released obv) unless I can take my cat with me.


    Great job, this mod is now more important to me than SAIN or BigBrain or any other mod in fact.

    Heart 4

  • is there any way of modifying the textures? would love to put my cat in the game

  • This. This right here. Best mod. None like it.

    I like my cat, she's a very good cat. She talks, she poops and she gets pets.

    Best mod.

  • 10/10 -- Would have my cat hiss at my monitor again over seeing another cat.

  • Maybe a pup? Love me a puppy


    +1 on your mod and effort, Thank you

    Heart 1

  • Hey, love the mod, but is there a way to lower the volume of the cat?

  • Is version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 suitable for spt 3.10?

  • i just have a question.....I am brand new to SPT and installed this mod, it does not state that it is installed when i run the SPT server, i dont have anything done in the hideout as well....so my question is am i missing something in the install or do you have to have your hideout basically started to see the cat or did i just install it wrong?....all i want is a cat!...lol

    • nutrition unit 1 needs to be built

      Heart 1

    • Of course!!! who can have a cat without nutrition, thanks man, having a blast here and just got SPT and just want to say THIS IS THE COMMUNITY that Tarkov SHOULD of had, awesome people working hard and completely rewriting what this game could and should be, incredible work!!! and THANK YOU for the reply.........of to build nutrition ASAP!!!!!

  • i gotta say i love tarkin, and your amazing videos, and hideout cat.


    may your pizzas always be well sliced.

  • Has anyone noticed that the cat's pupils get smaller if you shine your light in its face?
