Adorable Stray Mods Make Playable Cat Look Like Modders' Own Pets

screenrant.com:

Players have modded the cat in Stray to make them look like their own pets, swapping out the protagonist's ginger fur to resemble their own feline friends. Stray was released earlier in July to high critical and fan acclaim as cat-lovers were keen to dive into the sci-fi world as the backpack-wearing orange tabby.

Stray sees players controlling a stray cat who has become separated from its group in an underground city populated by mutant creatures called Zurks that devour any being in their path. Over the course of the game, the cat and its drone companion B-12 work alongside the city's self-aware robot inhabitants to try to return to the surface once more. While Stray was received warmly in reviews for its story and its accurate depiction of a cat and how it interacts with the detailed dystopian world, many cat-lovers who played the title found themselves sharing the same complaint: they wanted to customize the cat to mirror their own.

As spotted by Imogen Donovan on Twitter, modders have already begun addressing this complaint with a variety of different looks for PC players, and Kotaku has recently provided a list of mods for those looking to change the look of the cat in their own playthrough. Others on Imogen Donovan's thread showed images of a mod for perhaps the most famous orange tabby cat, Garfield, and simply stated that "Humanity [had been] restored". Of course, for every adorable cat mod, the internet provides some nightmare fuel, and this is no exception, as Twitter user Grizz_Face then went on to share an image of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas protagonist CJ warped into the proportions of a cat in a playable mod.
