Cat's Paw (place)

The Cat's Paw is a brothel located(ironicaly) on Virgin Street in New Reno, and is among the first things a new visitor to Reno sees. The brothel is across the street, to the south of the Desperado, the Mordino casino. Despite its proximity to the Desperado, the Cat's Paw remains an independent operation, not under the control of any of the families.

History
According to Miss Kitty, the Cat's Paw had, prior to the war, been the photography studio for Cat's Paw magazine, which is found somewhat commonly in the wasteland. Bringing an issue to Miss Kitty will open up a business opportunity: Kitty will be interested in purchasing a full set of ten issues.

The man outside the building promoting the "wares" inside uses a very similar promotion used in the horror film From Dusk Till Dawn. Cheech Marin's character promotes the whores at his vampire filled bar, the "Titty Twister".

Management and business
Run by Miss Kitty, the brothel caters to any visitor to New Reno who has chips to spend. Kitty prides herself on being open-minded, reminding visitors to not be shy, since "we've heard it all." Their barker runs through a nearly inexhaustable list of various types of - as he colorfully states it - booty available.

Despite its independent status, the Cat's Paw does business with various New Reno families. Overheard comments from Miss Kitty indicate that the Cat's Paw is responsible for "staffing" penthouse parties at the Shark Club casino, as well as supplying girls to Myron at the Mordino Stables.

Still, despite these "professional contracts," the Cat's Paw relies on individual services. A visitor to the Cat's Paw is always welcome. You can get in free as a made man, prizefighter, or finished the game.

Quests and opportunities
If ten issues can be brought to the Cat's Paw, Miss Kitty will be willing to part with the legendary Cat's Paw Issue No.5 which, aside from its photographic studies, includes an in-depth article on energy weapons.

The player can get a date with Miss Kitty herself, with the right dialogue choices. You can only get this date after you have finished the game.
