| Name | Cats and Canopeners v1.0 |
| Rating | |
| Author | Nicholas Aodhagan Webb |
| For | NetHack 3.4.3 |
| Description | Cats come running when you use a can opener in real life, so why not in NetHack too? |
| When opening a tin with a tin opener, all your pet cats (on that level) that aren't trapped teleport to you. All cats are woken. If there are no cats, one is sometimes made. Your pet cats will be marginally hungrier, since you got their expectations up. This is bonesafe.
Don't forget to enable by manually editing include/config.h. The precompiler define is WEBB_TIN_OPENER. | |

Good idea, but: tins are either sealed or eaten, so there's no way to feed cats from them.[Quote] | ||

| Idea: if the cat comes running and you throw the can at them (and it contains something cats like) it will become your pet. If not, it will avoid you for a certain number of turns related to your CHA. I mean, cats love pretty people, don't they? :-)[Quote] | ||

| Realistic except for the teleportation thing. If they would run at light speed like the mail daemon, pushing everything from their way meowing and hissing would be even cooler! ;)[Quote] | ||

| idea: discard an open tin, and nearby cats will devour it, no matter what it contains....[Quote] | ||

| Fun! Doesn't unbalance much either.[Quote] | ||
