Pocket Kittens

Wake up, scavage for food, kill your neighbors, go to bed, cry. Wake up, scavage for food, kill your family, go to bed, cry. Wake up... day after day after day. It's mundane, it's depressing and it's every so lonely until one day.... a little furball shows up on your door. He's hungry, he's desperate, he NEEDS YOU. Life has a purpose, Mr Mittens needs you, he needs your food, your love and your attention. Things don't seem quite as gloomy anymore.

Pocket Kittens adds several different breeds of kitties for you to trap and give a "furever home" to. They roam mostly in cities and trailer parks but can sometimes be found in the forest. Set up traps with the appropriate bait and wait. Eventually you'll find yourself a new friend. Once you do, take them home for cuddles or maybe put some effort into making a safe pocket for them to join you on your travels.

Having a companion with you can help reduce your boredom and unhappiness in this gloomy world with death creeping around every corner.

All Kittens are in the "PocketKitten" module. Therefore their IDs are prefixed with PocketKitten.
For example KittenBlack is referenced as PocketKitten.KittenBlack



When a Pocket Kitten is worn, it reduces loneliness by lowering boredom, unhappiness and stress values on an hourly basis. You can adjust (or even disable) these values by manipulating the Sandbox Variables listed below. Set this to suit your personal preferences or server's needs.



Though I really did not want to do this, there has been quite a bit of requests for it so I finally caved in and created "Pocket Kittens (Psycho Recipes)". This optional addon will allow you to slaughter stray kittens (and only strays) and harvest their meat. The meat can be used in a variety of regular zomboid recipes (stirfry, rice, etc) and even used as bait to trap rats.

You can not slaughter adopted animals because it ends up just being too over powered. Adopted cats never become rotten or stale, so if you could harvest meat from them, you would find yourself an infinite source of perfect meat. Therefore only Strays (who can be stale and rotten) can be harvested.

If you don't like it, don't enable it. I sure won't be.


Pocket kittens currently supports English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Korean and Thai. You can contribute additional translations here
