Cat's Paw

The Cat's Paw magazine is a miscellaneous item in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. It is part of two side-quests in Fallout 2.
==Characteristics==
In Fallout, the item has no use or description. Its only descriptions are "You have no idea" and "Upon further inspection, you still have no idea what this is." 
In Fallout 2, the item gains a description (although the Chosen One seems to believe otherwise)NcKitty.msg, line 452: "I'm just glad to know what the damn thing is. It's irritating to keep examining it and getting that same message over and over. I'll probably STILL get it even though it's identified now." and a purpose: Collecting 10 magazines and bringing them to Miss Kitty in New Reno grants a special Cat's Paw issue no.5 "that contains a very interesting article on energy weapons". Typhon in Broken Hills will also ask the Chosen One to find an issue for him.
