Thanks to a new mod, Maxwell the Cat can now be found in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The popular meme has made its way around various different games and has now finally landed in Skyrim, so players can carry it around wherever they wish.

Perhaps a little-known fact is that the cat's actual name is Jess, and she's the cat of Voidhawk42.
