What is this mod?
This mod overhauls the gameplay experience with cats, converting them from fragile house decorations into engaging and interactive adventuring companions while keeping the vanilla feel. A main feature is the option for tamed cats to be revived after death. This alleviates the fear of losing them permanently and encourages you to take them on your exploration adventures instead of leaving them sitting at home.
If your tamed cat meets an unfortunate end, they will drop their collar into your inventory. This collar can be right-clicked to revive the cat at your location, adding a new level of safety and strategy to managing your cat companions ✰
