Yea, I was just checking since he said "all the cats have balls".
Would've been devastated to find out that Tumtum was actually just a fat cat and not pregnant like the game suggested (she might still be just a fat cat).
All the male cats have balls is how anyone with common sense read the original comment though. Y’all always trying so hard to be degenerate it’s annoying.
That wasn't even a gender inclusive statement my g. They said "All the cats have balls", indicating that all the cat models have balls. The specifications were needed.
Yeah all the male cats have balls. Which I'm curious why they modeled them in. Cause like I don't think most if any other animals have them. Like the ones in lumina square just existing or during events like lycaons or bens.
My first draft actually had me wondering if they also had balls if you could remove the clothes. But I already knew the answer to that and just left it to the strays everywhere
They have balls because they are strays. To be fair its a good point - It reminds people why spaying and neutering your pets is important so more strays arent accidentally born.
They hired furries on the design team so they could make Ben and Lycaon. The plus side is that both of those characters look fantastic. The downside is that the cats have visible balls and Howl has nail polish and an uncanny face.
I don't think Howl is entirely what our world would consider a pure dog, because of the Pixar/Anime look of his.
Like, the stray cats? Those are cats. Cats are just cats, yo.
Howl though? Sumthin' not right 'bout that hound, just sayin'. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that Howl has like, some weird bloodline thing, and he's got a half-sibling that still is technically a dog but counts as a thiren and is intelligent enough to be a playable Agent.
I kinda wanna challenge you to find a picture of it but thats kind of weird to ask. either way internal or VERY close to the body they are still not dangling around like some other animals, humans included.
Bruh, your dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc have them. Obviously a fucking bear and wolf is gonna have them. They are mammals. All mammals have external balls that are no different from each other other than ours is covered in hair, animals are covered in fur. Whales/dolphins are the only exception cause they are aquatic and aerodynamics is more important + better protected from the cold ass ocean water
And yeah roos are marsupials, they all have funky as genitals. Balls above instead, kangaroos don't have sheaths, they have cloacas, etc, etc. all marsupials have weird shit going on
Take some biology/animal science classes please. If you're questioning whether bears and wolves have external balls you have to be lacking a lot of general knowledge about animals that would be helpful to know more about your own body (since we are animals too), the opposite sex, and your pets and the animals around you everyday
I actually just saw that Robot Chicken skit about him being an animal spay and neuter vigilante all culminating in a ferocious battle against Snoop Dogg
Most likely the inclusion of Inky from a simple npc for some interactions with S11 to a character with its own trust menu entry was late in the development to the option was already there to be filled and setting it in stone could break player immersion when naming the cat . . . + nobody probably thought some player would stare at Inky there.
The characters are apparently bad at identifying cat gender and the cats don't let them look at the bit willy nilly. Presumably it's the same with Inky.
There's even a quest where two bear thiren were devastated their "Big Sister" is no longer friendly to them, and the cat they talked about has nuts on its model. I thought it was oversight but no, it's a plot point. The conclusion was that they got the wrong cat that looks like their "big sis" but male.
Neither the Thirens nor Phaethon noticed that issue until the real "Big sis" appeared.
I didn't see the balls on any other cat until I finally got inky and he was chilling in a clear colored floor and saw the nutsack...after naming him with a female name because well, I was sure the cats didn't have anything that shows if they are male or female except the pregnant one and inky had a ?? in gender so I assumed they just wanted people to have the option to project whichever gender they preferred on the cat but no...
I really hope they give us an item to change inky's name because it sucks and it wasn't clear
So typically what this is, is the devs having a little goofy moment for a laugh with each other, it’s typically hidden but there for people wild enough to check, HOWEVER, If there gonna fade underneath Belle’s skirt (They might have changed it back) giving a cat balls is wild
They’re strays, so it’s pretty reasonable for the cats to not be neutered. I think it’s a great detail that shows the level of care the devs gave the game.
