They aren’t the only one, though. “My kitty that passed away a couple years ago has now been forever memorialized,” says Reddit user “DoggoHarold”. Now they get to sail off into the sunset together whenever they want.
Have a click on the tweet below to see the full-size images of “QuaidViktor’s” Captain Sansa. I’m a big fan of how the fur colour of the real-life cat looks like it’s already wearing an eyepatch. But it’s not just passed on pets that are finding a new home at sea. “Thanks for putting my cat (Ela!) in the game, Rare!” said Sea Of Thieves fan, “Angeling_”, in the caption for probably my favourite cat comparison pic yet.
This next one is a video game cat named after a real cat that’s named after a video game character. Not the sort of ship Cortana is usually on, but I dig it. And last but not least, here’s “Lilpwnd’s” seafaring feline, Tali. They might not have an image of the real-life cat to go alongside it, but they raise a very good point - when are we getting dogs, Rare? Have you bought yourself a feline friend in Sea Of Thieves yet? Does it remind you of your real-life pets? I had planned on going for a cat that looked like mine, but then I saw a jet-black one that looks like Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service, and I just couldn’t help myself.
If you do fancy yourself a pet to join you on your adventures, cats (and parrots and monkeys) are available in the game’s premium store, the Pirate Emporium, and will set you back about £5. Sea Of Thieves’ Ships Of Fortune update has loads of other good stuff going on, too - there’s a brand new faction, a big shake-up for Arena Mode, and Rare have even given us the ability to revive crewmates when they go down.
