What do you think V would do if he was given a cat instead of a dog
#dirt
late but hmm realistically i think he would leave them on mother base or the animal conservation platform if they were your average cat, and they would spend their days following everyone around and getting all the attention and basking in the sun with quiet. but if we go by d-dog logic they would actually be a wildcat and have a little eyepatch and red scarf because ocelot would raise them to be an honorary ocelot unit member and there would be no diamond dogs reference scene but a thing about nuke from the old base and kaz would give some speech about the similarity and remark about the future of the organization. d-cat, for lack of a better name, would sneak onto the chopper and sleep a lot and they might function more as a distraction to enemies. when v meows to call them (making ocelot proud), they act as a distraction, and when v goes 'pspsps' they start mauling people or something. they would be a little hardheaded at first and mainly do their own thing but as the bond level goes up they stick to him more closely and automatically draw attention away when people are about to spot v. if they get bored / aren't utilised enough they might start going after random animals and people unfortunately. v would really love them though and he'd always have treats for them and stop to pet them and give them all the scritches and talk to them in a baby voice
sorry the question really got inverted into "what would the cat do"... anyways thanks for the ask!!!!
