The Western adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 is repeatedly praised for its details. Have you noticed these subtleties with dogs and cats?
In Red Dead Redemption 2, the vibrant landscape and lovingly designed wildlife are often praised. The developers also show great care for dogs and cats.
A sadly beautiful dog story
In Red Dead Redemption 2, dogs play an important role. It even goes so far that you can really get into trouble if you harm dogs.
The story told by the following photo of a dog is sad. User Hupflupper shared the photo with the Reddit community. A dog waiting at its owner’s grave. With a paw on the mound of earth before it.

The background of this scene: As user SingaporeSally knows, this is a reference to Greyfriars Bobby. Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier. It is said that the terrier spent the next 14 years at its owner’s grave, policeman John Gray, after his death. At the age of 16, Greyfriars Bobby (1872) passed away and was buried at the same cemetery. This had to be done secretly, as animals are actually not allowed there.
User slimbojames comments on Reddit: Why am I now sitting in the saloon and crying?
Edinburgh is home to Rockstar North. Presumably, this is why the developers were inspired by the story.
Cats in Red Dead Redemption 2 sharpen their claws
Cats also have their special moments in Red Dead Redemption 2. This is proven by Reddit user postal1234 with a video. Here you can see the details Rockstar thought of for the animals. The cat doesn’t just briefly walk through the frame and meow.
What can be seen in the video? It shows how a cat walks to a wooden post and sharpens its claws there. Cat owners will find this sight quite familiar.
After that, it goes upstairs in a nearby building. “He started to purr when he sat down on the stairs. Satisfied,” adds postal1234.
Another player adds that sometimes a cat walks around in Strawberry with a rat in its mouth.
This is praised by the players: Even after many hours spent in the campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2, players only notice such details late. They are happy to find such little surprises with animals again and again.
You can’t pet the cats in RDR 2.
