“Meow!”


If the Warden-Commander gives Anders a Kitten, he dubs his new pet Ser Pounce-a-lot.

Involvement

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening

After Anders is gifted Ser Pounce-a-lot, he becomes an item in the inventory. Using Ser Pounce-a-lot has two effects. Out of combat, Anders will talk to the kitty (see Dialogue below).

Used in combat, Ser Pounce-a-lot will instantly revive all party members as long as one member is able to use him. Party members are revived with a fraction of their health and no stamina or mana.

Witch Hunt

While browsing the Circle Tower's library in Witch Hunt the Warden can discover a mention of Ser Pounce-a-lot in the book Spirit Healers through the Ages found in the School of Spirit section: "Folded near the back of the book is a very old sheet of notes scrawled by a young apprentice. In the margins are various sketches of templars being eaten by a fierce tiger named Ser Pounce-a-lot."

Dragon Age II

Ser Pounce-a-lot is also referenced in Dragon Age II, in party banter between Anders and other companions. Anders has lost the cat by the start of the game and misses having a feline companion very much, even going so far as to leave a saucer of milk outside of his clinic in the hope of attracting some. Anders also recalls the cat while talking to the Dog in Gamlen's House in Act 1.

Evidently, the Grey Wardens forced him to leave the cat with a friend in Amaranthine, concerned that keeping him was making Anders "too soft."
