I want to bang the Fear and Hunger cat so goddamn bad
Holy fucking shit. I want to bang the Fear and Hunger cat so goddamn bad. I can't stand it anymore. Every time I go to the Prehevil I get a massive erection. I've seen literally every rule 34 post there is of him online. My dreams are nothing but constant fucking sex with Pocketcat. I'm sick of waking up every morning with six nuts in my boxers and knowing that those are nuts that should've been busted inside of Pocketcat's tight bussy. I want him to have my mutant human/cat babies.

Fuck, my fucking mom caught me with the neighbors cat. I'd dressed it in my sister's skirt and went to fucking town. She hasn't said a word to me in 10 hours and I'm worried she's gonna take away my SteamDeck. I might not ever get to see Pocketcat again.

Location & Behaviour
The Santa Claus can be found in the cavern next to some crates and barrels. The first time they speak to the player, they will ask the player about their experiences in the dungeon and aspects of light and dark. They explain that they are a merchant, but that they accept human children as currency instead of using silver coins.

Second time he'll appear in the Village of cave dwellers. Before the deal he will ask if you want to chat a little (you can refuse) and, depending on the answers, the player would get a status with an eye icon: happy or depressed. What it affects is unknown.

Later on, after defeating the Nameless Figurine, he will appear outside the entrance to the Golden Temple after entering through the area if you have the Little Girl with you. He will ask you to hand her over to him. You can relent and hand her over and it'll be the last time you will see of Pocketcat and the Little Girl. After that, as you leave and enter the map again, there would be a catnip rolled into decorative candy wrappings in place of the Santa Claus. If you refuse, he will become angry, mutating into a larger form, saying that you barely know the girl and that you are denying him this one little 'pleasure', asking again to hand over the girl. Refusing him again will force Pocketcat to relent, asking his master, Rher, on what to do. After that, he'll go on a rant about how heartbroken he is towards you and eventually leaves for good.

Trading
The player can bring a child (Girl or Demon kid) to the Santa Claus and trade them in exchange for one of three valuable items: The Pocketcat thanks the player for trading with them and tells them that they'd like more human children, but will not offer to trade again if another child is brought to them.

Trivia

 * Pocketcat seems to be a general reference to the many-children eating boogeyman present in children's stories to make them behave better, albeit a much more grotesque version of said boogeyman.
 * Pocketcat begins to scratch his crotch when he is traded the Girl.
 * In Fear & Hunger 2: Termina, Daan seems to be bothered by him for many years. Actually, at the night of third day, whether you killed Pocketcat in museum before or not, Daan will be transformed into Pocketcat. You can recognize him through his checkered pants. This might imply that Pocketcat exists through the possession of other people's bodies, though perhaps either through depressed individuals or individuals with a Blank Soul like Daan's. Though it seems like there could be two Pocketcats existing at one time.
 * Pocketcat's head is a mask, and behind the mask is a human, as seen in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. The role itself seems to be passed down on hopeless individuals. This comes at the cost of completely losing ones will to Rher's. Possibly erasing anything that was in terms of memories and replacing it with Pocketcat's.
 * Pocketcat mentions retelling of stories alluding to his own and how it has changed with time, this comment also comes off as a meta-commentary, on retelling of other stories I.E: retelling of games, movies, etc.
 * According to popular Pocketcat Pocketcat, Pocketcat is based.
 * Pocketcat is the first instance of furries appearing the Fear and Hunger timeline.Pocketcat angered.png
