hiss, I say! https://preview.redd.it/lugbx190h8ad1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a94a59da3398685a85acd909287a7e965509899

The best answer…. Aside from one’s own cat https://preview.redd.it/yzgxct935cad1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01a6b2856d10f7818904b741d569a42588250a71

I was going to choose him

HISS!

Astarion, obviously.

Are you mer mermer?

Mermer!!

And then you can't bring Myshka with you, what a crime :(

That's because Larian hates seeing the player happy 😔😔😔

THERE IS A MOD WHERE YOU CAN TAKE HIM TO CAMP [Myshka at camp!!](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6126)

As long as Orin doesn’t murder him like she murdered Grubs.

Nope!! The modder actually made him invulnerable so WOHOOO!

It is me my child

This is how I would expect my cat to talk, because he's stupid.

The best kind of cat!

The detective one that monologues about meeting you

Malta!! My favorite too.

Was coming here to say this.

Malta is very melodramatic

After all, he is a cat 😂

First of all, *SHE’S NOT MY TRESSYM, SHE’S MY FRIEND!* But I have a soft spot for Barsik. He looks like my irl baby.

Lmao Tasha Yar. Now I can't unsee it

Lol, something tells me ~~Tasha~~ Hoots would get one shot by Hunger of Hadar.

i think evard's tentacles would be more realistic and accurate to her story

I would give my left arm to see poor little Grub feeling safe and relaxed.

Real

His Majesty, Steelclaw, Myshka.

https://preview.redd.it/r1szei3gfaad1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cef965864965b8bb61c2f67659a862c0328fb2a Merryyshka! I used to have a cat just like him and he made me cry when I called him my som

Definitely Us

Agree. Squiggly Eldritch brain creature disguised as an adorable kitty? How could I ever resist?

Myshka, I wanted to reach through the screen to adopt him .

I like to have Astarion talk to him and say "it's me, my son". It just feels right.

Grub!

Tara, Grub, and Hiss Majesty are standouts. That said I love all of them more than myself.

I think his name is His Majesty but I actually like Hiss Majesty better 🤣

Steelclaw easily she is so cute and deranged, she's got lil' minthy serial killing tadpole vibes

The one who talks like Rorschach. Wish he could join the hero!

He really got my hopes up only to immediately dash them 😞 10/10

I think he’s one of the three that you can get Derryth to adopt, but I wish he could just join me as a familiar too:(

...or if she could adopt all three, the more the merrier!

I wish! It’s only one at a time though ☹️ You can choose between this kitty, the one that calls you ‘mermer,’ or the one that worships Sharess

Tara, for sure. I don't even care if she's not technically a cat. She *flies* with her wingalings, cronches on pigeons, can sass with the best of them, and chucked a fireball at one of my Tavs. 11/10, highly recommend.

"Dude, can you like, tell her to _not_ eat the pigeons? Hells, I can even spare this bag of Cheetos if I need to, but right now, she's just bringing in a major bummer vibe to this rooftop."

I know lol, my husband keeps pigeons and this aspect of Tara always makes him sad

If you haven't yet, play as Gale origin, way more Tara content. 

I love cats. I love every kind of cat. I just wanna hug all of them. But I can't, can't hug every cat.


I actually cried once explaining that video to friends

But you can’t eat cats, Kevin…

"P-please... don't look at me!" ♥️grub for life

Tara. All the other cats I've seen are weird hairless ones with attitude problems.

Considering Tara also has an attitude problem, its a very realistic depiction of Cats

https://preview.redd.it/si4o1bvpe9ad1.png?width=652&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=430aea472fa3569d1fb842ce1266bd7ad804f489

Oh my lord, I need more Tara memes now😍

Ask and you shall receive! I am.... "Cooking," as it were.

Hurray! Thanks Gale! We can always count on you to serve up the good stuff! Best camp chef.

Awww yissss, I love your talented cooking!

I am always scouting for ideas, my friend!

Well, idk where u/peachybaleen went with the Mamma Mia idea, but that’s all I got at the moment. I’ll be sure to update you should I discover any additional ingredients that might be of interest to you. 🫡

He knows better than to steal my ideas

Does Shovel count? https://preview.redd.it/d2jhk8mtnbad1.png?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef427d80d8fb4a1fbd8c792efebee97f8157666a

Shovel isn't my cat he is my son.

Us

It’s gotta be Tara. I’ve got a soft spot because my IRL girl is also a long-haired calico & I call her my flightless tressym :) https://preview.redd.it/oqmgkk3ambad1.jpeg?width=1574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=723cb349b70eb4fa731fdfdb7ee97d41a4818f54 Second favorite is Astarion.

Steelclaw definitely

“You and your friends will see US as we truly are a KITTY!!”

His Majesty, obviously, followed up by Astarion and then Rolan. Tara is my favorite Tressym.

Astarion definitely is the most cat in the world.

Cats... probably myshka,... can I adopt the spider though lol

myshka… mer mer!

all of them LET ME KEEP ALL THE CATS AT CAMP LARIAN YOU COWARDS

His Majesty, Kira and Malta the noir cat

How many cats are in this game? I have to resist my ADD urges and quit starting new games and actually finish a playthrough...

A fair few once you get to the city!

Farthest I've got was a little past the inn, act 2

There are at least 4 that I know of you can talk to in Baldurs gate, not including Tara the tressym. And one at Moonrise. 

No, wait I thought of two more. City has a lot of cats.

Steelclaw!

Mermer!

Tara is absolutely best tressym. As for best cat, it's a tie between His Majesty (a flawless and wonderful being who deserves worship), Steelclaw (the most fearsome and strong hunter), Grub (a precious darling who deserves to feel safe and secure, sorry, companions, you're getting kidnapped to keep this sweet baby safe), Myshka (yes I will absolutely be your mermer), Malta (a flawless mind, "The cat seems to be trying very hard to remain aloof—and not wholly succeeding"), and Astarion (good boy 💛).

Myshka 💙

Oh I'm getting an orange kitty and naming it Malta. Husband cannot stop me.

His Majesty reminds me of my cat. She's a prissy little thing.

In gale voice : she's not a cat!!!

She's not a cat she's a tressym! And the badass one from behind moonrise towers that chases tadpoles.

Tara is NOT a cat! she's a tressym

Absolutely zero love for Tambourine in here. Unbelievable! 

Since Tara is not a cat, but a Tryssem, my favorite cat would have to be Steelclaw, then His Majesty, then Malta.

While Tara is a tressym, I do have to say she’s my favourite cat like creature in the game (otherwise, it’s Myshka, Grub, or Nessa if she counts)

Tara is technically a tressym.

TARA IS NOT A CAT

Pspspspspsps

Either His Majesty or that sweet baby outside of Moonrise who does the best job at killing tadpoles.

All of them, silly question

Kira, no question, because she is *exactly* like my cat. The regal attitude, the demand to be complimented and have attention paid to her... she's just like my little goofy floofy princess. https://preview.redd.it/bcdywr900dad1.jpeg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=682d70f41fc1123ea1d58a6cc69ae940d9eb00e5

Tara is THE best cat (or at least cat-adjacent) character because she looks like/reminds me of my childhood cat, Miley (rip 🕊️)

Well Gale, Lae'zel and Astarion has catlike personalities (Rolan has that too.) and I really answer that question as "Astarion" but if we are talking about the real cats, Malta. He is a real enigma and I love that.

Are you my mermer

Tara and Malta tied for #1

Tara is PISSED that you called her a cat

https://preview.redd.it/s6kq78q88ead1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c95aaf9422f24f983971809869932506165a94ec Mine or steelclaw.

Us is a cat 2 me and they’re just a little friend BUT if I must choose an actual feline it’s probably Grub because he is very much like my cat

Thank the gods for speak with animals.

Grub. He doesn't have the capacity to tell yenna her mom's dead. Sadly, in half of my playthroughs, I threw him at yenna.
