'''Nibbles''' is a stray [[cat]] living in [[Megabuilding H10]] who can potentially become [[V]]'s pet in {{CP|2077}}.

==Appearance==
Nibbles is a [[wikipedia:Sphynx cat|Sphynx]], a hairless breed of cat, with a seal [https://lifeandcats.com/colorpointed-cat-colors/ pointed color pattern]. The lack of the usually distinct blue eyes for this breed may be due to the fact that the cats are possibly cybernetic.

==Biography==
In [[2077]], [[V]] found a bowl in a corridor of [[Megabuilding H10]] alongside a [[Feed teh cat|shard]]. If they decided to leave some [[Cat Food|cat food]] in it, upon returning after a while, [[Johnny Silverhand]] appears and comments after observing a cat eating from it. V is then able to interact with the cat, giving them the name "Nibbles", and taking the stray to their [[V's Apartment|apartment]], where Johnny and V observe it relaxing in a laundry basket. From that point on, Nibbles remains a resident in V's apartment.<ref name="CP2077>{{RefCP|2077}}</ref>

Nibbles seems to have a delicate palate, as the aforementioned shard states that they only eats a prescript cat food made of tofu and tuna. To prepare it, one has to mash it up a bit and then put it in the microwave for exactly 17.5 seconds. If Nibbles refuses to eat it, then a little splash of [[NiCola (drink)|NiCola]] should do the trick, although too much of the beverage can make them barf it right back up.<ref>[[feed teh cat]]</ref>

Nibbles, as a companion, remains in V's apartment at all times, where food, drink and a litter box are provided, with no need of further maintenance. They will meow for attention and change positions often; and may also interact with the [[Iguana Egg|iguana]] from time to time. Nibbles can sometimes be seen drinking water from the shower base. If V decides to shower, Nibbles will hiss and growl and run away to another place.<ref name="CP2077 />

===Endings===
During [[The Sun]] ending, Nibbles will appear at the [[Afterlife]], sitting on the counter.<ref>[[Path of Glory]]</ref>

In [[The Tower]] ending, it is revealed that Nibbles and the [[Iguana Egg|iguana]] (if present) were adopted by [[Rogue Amendiares]] after V disappeared. They can be seen sitting on the counter behind Rogue in the message she leaves for V.<ref>[[Things Done Changed]]</ref>

''"Oh, I love my job. Absolutely. Especially since I started leading the Night City Environmental Task Force — it feels like I was born for this role. The whole team has been hard at work improving ecosystem diversity in certain areas, and with help from the [[Night City Council]] and the mayor we've already made astonishing progress. [[North Oak (2077)|North Oak]], for example, has seen drastic improvement. It's become a lush land full of life, as if the climate change of past decades never hit! And of course, it goes without saying that we care deeply about residents from other parts of the city, too. In fact, we're already starting to address the wretched rat problem that's plaguing Watson. Vile creatures. And we're not stopping there. Together with the [[NCPD]] we'll soon launch a complete — environmentally friendly — cleansing operation. However, citizens outside of North Oak should still be mindful and vigilant of stray animals, and they should call their medical service provider in case of any contact. Who knows what they might be exposed to, after all." - Night City city official''<ref name="HONC">[https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/humans-of-night-city-nibbles.11103592/ Humans of Night City — Nibbles on CD Projekt RED Forums]</ref>

==Acquisition==
In order to obtain Nibbles as a pet, you'll need to first obtain [[Cat Food]]. It can be found at certain food vendors or randomly within Night City, like the [[Arasaka Industrial Park]] or the [[Mobile Camp|Aldecaldos camp]].

Some time after completing [[Playing for Time]] at the start of Act 2, the opportunity to adopt Nibbles will become available. You will need to venture left upon exiting V's apartment, follow the corridor, and then turn right. In a trash bin just around the corner, a [[shard]] titled "[[feed teh cat]]" can be found, and right below it will be an empty bowl. Interacting with the bowl will fill it with cat food. Leave the megabuilding, and return some time later.

After said time passes, upon returning to the bowl, Nibbles will be eating from it. If V interacts with the cat, they will be given the option to pick it up. From that point on, Nibbles will remain a permanent resident in the apartment.

==Notes==
*The name Nibbles only appears after V scans the cat after adopting it.
*Despite the "feed teh cat" shard and [[Cyberpunk 2077/DLC#DLC #17: Photomode Updates|Nibbles Photo Mode DLC]] referring to Nibbles as a as male cat, Quest Director Paweł Sasko has stated multiple times that Nibbles is a "she."<ref name="Gender">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYihS0LCNaw Quest Director plays Cyberpunk 2077 #48] (1:17:25)</ref> However, as of [[Patch 2.0]], the shard and DLC description still indicate that Nibbles is a male cat.
*[[Mike Pondsmith]] has commented that [[Deathwish]] could be the ancestor of Nibbles, being their great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather.<ref name="PondsmithReddit1">{{RefReddit|user=therealmaxmike|url=r/LowSodiumCyberpunk/comments/ut52gx/comment/i9aabax/|text=That's not Nibbles in 2013. It's actually Rache Bartmoss' cat, Deathwish. The two cats look so similar because Deathwish is actually Nibbles great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather.|altuser=Mike Pondsmith}}</ref><ref name="PondsmithReddit2">{{RefReddit|user=therealmaxmike|url=r/Edgerunners/comments/118fgv6/hands_down_the_goofiest_line_in_the_entire_show/j9i8q9w/|text=... As time passed, Rache spent more and more of his time jacked in--eventually, he had a special netrunning support system built, where he spent most of his time (think Lucy's ice bath). He made it look like a standard refrigerator to hide it. The party ended when someone dropped an orbital munition on his apartment building, obliterating it and him (he was still alive-- his cat Deathwish may have escaped to become the ancestor of 2077's Nibbles). ...|altuser=Mike Pondsmith}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*Nibbles is a reference to [[w:c:witcher:Nibbles|the cat of the same name]] encountered in ''The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt''.
