Nibbles The Cat - Tumblr Posts

YOU KNOW WHO ISNT DISCUSSED ENOUGH IN THE WITCHER FANDOM!?

NIBBLES. NIBBLES THE CAT.

This may be because most people are here for the Witcher Netflix show & have not played the Witcher games (or they just simply forgot about Nibbles.) & that’s fair enough. I get it. I do. BUT TIME TO CHANGE THAT OKAY!? & While I’m sure that there are older posts that mention Nibbles, I see next to nothing about Nibbles in this Witcher fandom resurgence.

So. I recently replayed Witcher 3. & You spend the game, passing through towns, exploring, taking on monster contracts, & searching for Ciri. There are lots of animals in these towns you go through. Dogs, cows, goats, sheep, horses, geese, pigs, chickens, AND CATS. Most animals dont really react to Geralt’s presence. But EVERY. SINGLE. CAT. arches its back, slinks away from Geralt, & hisses at him as soon as they notice him. EXCEPT FOR NIBBLES.

You meet Nibbles for the first time in W3 when you’re looking for the Bloody Baron’s missing daughter. Nibbles doesn’t hiss at Geralt. Not even once. Instead, while you wait to talk to someone, Geralt gets down on Nibbles’ level and the two just stare at each other for a while. Nibbles, the resident good boy and a 10/10 cute cat, is pretty damn relaxed during this entire interaction. He just chills on a table, grooming himself, & giving Geralt the normal amount of cat attention. & It’s clear Geralt is fascinated by this kitty oddity. Legit every other cat hisses at him. Every other cat hates witchers. Nibbles, this bizarre non-hissing kitty, captures Geralt’s attention right away.

SO LISTEN Y’ALL. All I’m really saying in this post is that 1) GERALT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PET NIBBLES. LET GERALT PET NIBBLES. And 2) Nibbles deserves more recognition.

Also. Maybe even a third point.... 3) It’d be cool to see more theories about Nibbles in fics. Cause it is a bit odd that Nibbles appears several times throughout Witcher 3 (& in both DLC packs), seemingly following Geralt around the Continent. He shows up in several different places (that are huge distances apart) and is mentioned by several characters that have nothing to do with one another (or Nibbles) throughout the game. I know that he was just born as a “filmmaking trick due to a technical necessity that came up” during the making of the game. But Nibbles is a mystery magic cat. & if it isn’t clear already, I LOVE THIS FUNKY LIL FLUFF. THIS IS A NIBBLES APPRECIATION POST.
