This, uh, cat fancier's magazine has no redeeming value. You'll learn nothing of use to you in the wastes when you read about...cats.Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets

The Cat's Paw magazine is a miscellaneous item in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. It is part of two side-quests in Fallout 2.

Characteristics[]

In Fallout, the item has no use or description. Its only descriptions are "You have no idea" and "Upon further inspection, you still have no idea what this is."

In Fallout 2, the item gains a description (although the Chosen One seems to believe otherwise)[1] and a purpose: Collecting 10 magazines and bringing them to Miss Kitty in New Reno grants a special Cat's Paw issue no.5 "that contains a very interesting article on energy weapons". Typhon in Broken Hills will also ask the Chosen One to find an issue for him.
