His Majesty may provide comedic relief and, potentially, the most accurate depiction of a cat you’ve definitely met IRL before, but Myshka is my baby. You can find this poor thing roaming in the alley outside of Bonecloak’s Apothecary in Baldur’s Gate, and he’ll ask you in his hilarious Mriaer dialect if you’re his mommy. That’s because if you don’t rescue his owner, Baelen Bonecloak, in Act 2, the poor dude dies, leaving Myshka semi-stranded. There’s a secret quest where you can reunite him with Derryth Bonecloak, so keep your eyes peeled.
If you don’t get the chance to do that quest, you can always tell Myshka that he is, indeed, your son, and he’ll follow you around the immediate vicinity until you stray too far. It’s rare to find a cat so affectionate to strangers, so Myshka’s kind disposition combined with his heartbreaking story make him my favorite cat in the game. Sure, he doesn’t say much, but he needs help! What kind of monster looks at those baby blues and doesn’t immediately fall in love?
There you have it, the cats of Baldur’s Gate 3, ranked. Where does your favorite cat fall on this list? Let us know in the comments below.
