      Actually, Cats, can, and will, open doors, for their own benefit, and should be able to "hold" (at least the bigger cats) the lantern in their mouths... i wish they will release a ln WildShape DLC, where you can keep the wildshape, and some merchants will hqve speak with animals, and use animals and an information and dellivery network, and yes, that includes cats.

Or in this you're like "just turn back to normal and press the button!"

    Lots of cats do help others ;) There are several cases of this, but I have seen this first hand as well. My parents' second cat was a total darling, and would comfort anyone in the family when they were ill. When mom fell ill with cancer, he barely left her side. When I had a major health drop, he'd stay with me for a couple of hours every morning. A truly precious little friend. :) Even the first one had such moments, though they were fewer as we were mostly fine. :) (With that said, I truly enjoyed this! ^^ )
