About this mod

Gives names to all of the varieties of house cat in Xtudo's diverse version of Mihail's Housecats. An expansion of a mod that names the original cats.

I love Mihail's Housecats mod, and thought they should have names. I found this mod Mihail House Cats - Named Cats at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) which was the inspiration for mine, and altered it to work for the great Xtudo's version which adds more cats and gives them different colors.  I kept the original names from that mod out of respect to the original author, please go to their page and endorse that mod!

What this mod does:
1. Keeps the names from the original naming mod by cbgreely
2. keeps the color variations from Xtudo's mod
3. restores the "allow pc dialogue" tag to the cats so you can see their name (otherwise what is the point of this mod, lol) when you look at them, as it was in Mihail's original mod. You can't actually talk to them, but you can pet them using the patch for Immersive Interactions provided by Xtudo on his page.
4. switched the cat placed in Dragon Bridge from black to brown, to match the intended color (editor id is 'brown')
5. Gives names to the 19 cats added by Xtudo's version

Original names from cbgreely's original naming mod:
Whiterun - Graham
Windhelm - Rascal
Falkreath - Smokey (now brown)
Solitude - Calvin
Morthal - Monroe (now spotted)
Dawnstar - Muffin
Markarth- Shalquoir (now black)
Riften - Sweet Roll
Winterhold - Luna (now black)

    spotted - Ragnar - spawns in Rorikstead...
    brown - Hjaldr - lives at the Battle-born farm, means 'battle sound' in norse

    white - Ghost - same
Solitude

UPDATE November 27, 2023
I have also included alternate esp files for if you use the mod  Assorted Tweaks for Various Mods - Animal Behaviour at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) ... this carries over all the names from my original naming mod, plus incorporates the factions and packages necessary for the new cat ai from that mod to work. In addition, that mod adds **three more cats** which I have named thus:

Riverwood - Byrja - means "to begin" in norse
Shor's Stone - Drayven - for the famous master thief Drayven Indoril who settled there
Morthal (black) - Morihaus - for the founder

Update - December 2, 2023
The cats now have voices when you click on them, thanks to Behaviour Tweaks! Many thanks to  Chardero the Lupe for their help in creating a patch for that version, as well as with removing crime reporting! 
Update - December 3, 2023
Carried over changes for version 2.2 of Behaviour Tweaks. "No crime reporting" is now included in Behaviour Tweaks.
Update - December 11, 2023
Some pretty big under-the-hood ai changes by Behaviour Tweaks version 2.4.2 have been carried over. New patrol packages and such. Safe to update I believe, see the Immersive Tweaks mod page for details.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - December 31, 2023
As of version 2.4.2/2.4.3 of Immersive Tweaks - Animal Behaviour, you must choose the correct patch for modular versus full installation, or you will get an ils (infinite loading screen) due to changes in the formids for the ai packages. The modular patches *should* work for either the rats or pigeons choice, I had a friend test it for me. Thanks Katschaba!!  <3
