“ Detective Almond Cookie, can we keep the cat safe here in the precinct? Please? PLEASE? „ — M.E.H. Operatives
Constable Whiskers (Korean: 초코고양이 네로, chokogoyang-i nelo, "Choco Cat Nero") is Almond Cookie’s pet and companion, being released alongside him in the second half of the Beacons of Unity update (v1.2). Although Constable Whiskers is currently only an NPC in Kingdom, it is available as a Pet in Cookie Run: OvenBreak.
Although Constable Whiskers does not appear in any Story segments, it makes an appearance in the Almond St. 8, Phone Booth Decor, flying in and perching on a bench during the Decor's animation.
Game Description (OvenBreak)[]
The precinct which housed the Magical Emergency Handling task force was bustling and busy, as per usual. The barking of orders, the phones ringing, the stale air saturated with coffee. No one noticed a small stray kitten stroll in as if it owned the entire precinct. The stray plopped itself straight onto Detective Almond Cookie's desk, laying down on a pile of old case files. The hardened detectives and operatives of M.E.H. soon warmed up to the little critter, giving snacks and toys. The world outside the precinct was dangerous, incidents waiting to happen at every corner. "Detective Almond Cookie, can we keep the cat safe here in the precinct? Please? PLEASE?"
Summary[]
Constable Whiskers is a (previously) stray cat who took up residence in the Magical Emergency Handling as a kitten; it is considered the whole department's cat and is taken care of by everyone there, though it has taken a particular liking to Almond Cookie and is around him whenever it is present.
Perhaps taking inspiration from its past, Whiskers takes it upon itself to protect helpless stray kittens. This behavior, alongside it being considered part of the precinct's "family", is likely how it gained its title of Constable, as its need to protect those less fortunate is much like that of an actual officer.
Whiskers seems to be physically quite different compared to a mundane housecat. It exhibits an unusually large tail and ears, eyes that glow a bright yellow, and small, bat-like wings; these features are likely more than just cosmetic, as Constable Whiskers has been seen flying using its wings. Such anatomy can be explained by its Parfaedian origin, as the city is known for being quite magical and unnatural compared to most other locations. Oddly enough, these special traits don't seem to be present or referenced in Whiskers's OvenBreak appearance.
Trivia[]
- Constable Whiskers's name in the original Korean text (초코고양이 네로, chokogoyang-i nelo) translates to Choco Cat Nero in English. "Nero" is a common Korean name for cats.
