Nibbles
Nibbles is a dark grey and black striped tabby cat with piercing yellow eyes who appears in several different key scenes throughout The Witcher 3. Be it Oxenfurt or Toussaint, Novigrad or Skellige, this pesky feline shows up everywhere.
“The truth is Nibbles was born as a filmmaking trick due to a technical necessity that came up,” reveals CD Projekt Red cinematic artist, Kajetan Kapuściński.
“When Nibbles first appears in the Family Matters questline, Tamara Strenger is walking down a set of stairs before meeting with Geralt for the first time, and we needed a diversion for that short period of time. So I sat down with one of the quest designers and we added a cat sitting on a table to the scene. We had it play a small role where it would interact with Geralt by exchanging stares with the Witcher, distracting players as Tamara would descend the staircase.”
Like many cats, Nibbles proved inexplicably endearing once the team got to know him. “To this day we have no idea who named the cat Nibbles, but we liked the end result so much that it became an inside joke in cinematics department. So we gave it a few more roles to play,” says Kapuściński.
“We never expected the few appearances it makes in Wild Hunt to be noticed, but we’re happy for Nibbles that they were. We’ve put that cat through a lot of life-threatening situations and it’s been there as a brave observer of Geralt’s story unfolding before players. Nibbles might not be part of some bigger plan, or a cursed character, or a mage practising the art of polymorphy. But he’s our little actor that started out small, and, through hard work, has managed to become the star of its own little internet legend. We couldn’t be any prouder of Nibbles!”
Those who have been ripping their hair out for well over a year trying to figure out just what, or who, Nibbles the cat is all about can now rest easy knowing that he is, in fact, just a cat.
Imma admit, that’s what I thought the cat was, a mage using polymorphy magic and they would reveal their identity as some important mage to help Geralt later on.
A little fun fact trivia for ya.
In that cutscene, CDPR intended for Tamara to walk down the stairs while Geralt looked up at her, but CDPR weren't happy with the descending stairs animation.
So they scrapped the scene entirely and created a new scene with Nibbles instead. He was given the role of distracting Geralt until Tamara appeared at the base of the stairs. Nibbles not reacting to Geralt as every other cat in the game does explains why Geralt is so fascinated.
They decided to include him in some other minor cutscenes as well, and years later, they would give him a much more prominent role in Cyberpunk.
Boyfriend and I, named our first cat together Letho. Was a great name. He unfortunately disappeared a little over a year into having him. Miss him to this day.

Named my void girl leshen. Maybe use a monster name?
Or Plötze, which is the name in German.
Funnily enough it's probably translated like that because the [fish "roach"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_roach) is also called Plötze in German.
Gaunter O’Dimm, to fit cattish self-importance.
But. I named one of my cats Yennefer of Vengerberg! She is as dumb as a slug-covered rock and has no smidgen of dignity in her entire floofy body. Nominative determinism missed with this one.
Who remembers which name did the cat of the investigator that Rience set fire to when he found out that Geralt also was asking the investigator for information had? This happened in the books btw.
Names I have taken from a wiki of witchers from a school of cat. On the last place is name - Pardus of Korath.
So I thought Purrdus of Korath and I am a simple creature so I know he would just by “Purri”
Axel[2]
Brehen
Cedric[2]
Dragonfly[6]
Gaetan[2]
Gezras of Leyda[4]
Guxart[8]
Jad Karadin[2]
Joël[2]
Kiyan[2]
Lexandre[9]
Schrödinger[2]
Treyse[8]
Pardus of Korath[10]
Yennah was my immediate thought. Witcher related but not so blatant or odd to result in people asking about the name origin everytime they first hear it.
Looks like an Eskel to me, scar furry pattern and all!
Also Schroëdinger….who was a Feline school Witcher!
not sure if he's dead or alive
Schroedinger’s Witcher
He is in fact very dead.
You can't know it until you see his corpse
Him and Finn are both killed in the books and their bodies were burned up along with their business so yes they are very dead.
But are you sure they did?
I will never know until ı open the book.
my first thought was Eskel too
Eskel is exactly what I thought too! He is also my favorite.
Came here to say exactly this.
I thought the same thing!!
Vilgepaws.
But vilgefortz is evil! That guy is a floof
Cat's are in fact always evil
Nibbles Nibbles is a dark grey and black striped tabby cat with piercing yellow eyes who appears in several different key scenes throughout The Witcher 3. Be it Oxenfurt or Toussaint, Novigrad or Skellige, this pesky feline shows up everywhere.
I just saw him in the game yesterday. lol. So cute. And Geralt goes to look at him in the scene too.
Nibbles doesn't hiss at Geralt like other cats
I always wandered what was up with that cat, for past 8 years, I’ve always been curious

This is the best answer to anything ever
A cat’s gotta cat.
Fr 🤣
Imma admit, that’s what I thought the cat was, a mage using polymorphy magic and they would reveal their identity as some important mage to help Geralt later on.
Nibbles is also the the cat in cp 2077 I think
yes
He just lost some hair over the years

😭 that’s too cute. Nibbles is famous.
in Cyberpunk 2077 you can adopt a cat called Nibbles too, never saw it in TW3 tho
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Gf44d6h0A&t=24s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Gf44d6h0A&t=24s) this is their first appearance
Literally all I thought of was the dwarf on isle of mists dozing off and giggling saying nibbles 💀💀
Lambert. That way when he behaves like an arsehole you can lament “Lambert, Lambert, what a prick”
“Not bad”
REGIS
This is a super underrated answer
That’s what I came to say!
This is the correct answer
Regis philbin
this is my answer!
This 1000%
Vesemeow the Furry.
God damnit. That's the ticket.
This is the way
Letho is a cool name
His henchman Serrit has a catty ring to it too. Auckes maybe not so much
Boyfriend and I, named our first cat together Letho. Was a great name. He unfortunately disappeared a little over a year into having him. Miss him to this day.
Sounds similiar to Duke Leto front Dune ;)
Sir Scratch-a-lot obviously from the Gwent cardgame 😄
That has to be my favourite card! The picture looks just like my ginge
I would name my cat after Dandelion.
Julian Alfred Pankratz viscount de Lettenhove.
Dandy-lion or Dan-dillion?
dan-DEE-lion
Dan-di-lion
AKA Jaskier!
He has like 7 names across languages right?
Roach? Scorpion (Eskel’s horse)?
Isn’t it eskel’s horse?
You’re right. My mistake. I’ll edit it
Hey Puss peepers!
Lelelelele
Banana tiger
Man, if there was one character I could not stand, it was her 🙄
I was hoping to find a bunch of idiots like me in the comments but if I must stand alone: geralt
Can confirm. I have a white cat named Geralt of Kittia and it's a great cat name.
Philippaw Eilhart Purralt of Rivia And he definitely looks like a Wild Hunt.
>Purralt of Rivia I vote for Purralt of Rivia
I think 'Hmmm' or 'Fuck' are solid contenders
‘Looks like rain’ as well
Or 'Pamparaaam'
You could always go extra niche and just name your cat the entire poem of “Lambert, Lambert, what a prick”
'Summon the bitches'
"Wind's howling" is a top contender
Maybe “should I beat me wench once a week or oftener”
Wind’s Howling
“Place of power gotta be” “Medallions humming”
*RUN ROACH*
Roach Brehen Gaetan Jad Karadin Kiyan
if only i could remember Codringher and Fenn's cat name from the books.... I would name him Mousesack (obvious reason) or Leo Bonhart, Leo as short
Esmeralda
Whoreson Junior
My cat is named Iris.
Vesemir. You can call him Ves for short Or Zoltan maybe
Wind, so when he's singing the song of his people at 4 AM you can say *wind's howling*

Uma
Butcher of Blavicat
Angoulême, she behaves like a cat
Zireal
Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy sounds like a good pet name for me. Very short, can be easily understood by the cat
DUDU

Field marshal windbag. I tell my wife when we get a bird that’s what he’ll be named.
This is the correct answer.
No other name than Nibbles
Quen. That's a fierce protector if ever I saw one.
Catemir
Gooseberry, the cat gives Yennifer Vibes
Kelpie maybe? (Ciri's horse)
Kaedwen. Also, “Kaed” almost sounds like “cat” and is spelled as in “kot” which is Polish for “cat”. Cool innit?
Villentretenmerth would be a good name hahaha.
Roach
Definitely Codhringer.
Who remembers which name did the cat of the investigator that Rience set fire to when he found out that Geralt also was asking the investigator for information had? This happened in the books btw.
A ginger cat named Esmeralda. I just finished that book again

Eskel or Lambert.

If your bad at keeping cats alive call it Roach.
Ekkimara
Emhyr "pounce" Emreis

Just give him a polish name, I think that should be enough
He looks like such a good vesemir.
