I can't seem to direct actions for my cat familiar anymore. I want it to do recon and to detect traps, but I cannot do anything but talk to it. Moving the cursor over it only gives a dialog icon. (Is it possible to *feed* the cat, as it requests?)

Now, it did get hit with a Domination spell a while back, and it was a "red-circle" for a few rounds, also taking some heavy damage from somewhere at that time. (I don't believe I was the one that caused the damage.) I healed it with Bhaalspells.

I've tried Ctrl-Q'ing it but that just makes it a party member. I've SK'd the GlobalVariable "FAMCAT" to = 1 but that just adds another familiar, and neither of them were "directable". I also Ctrl-K'd the cat to eliminate it, and tried to cast FindFamiliar again, but the game sez I already have a familiar. I killed the cat (losing a point of CON), cast FindFamiliar again, and tried to delete the GlobalVariable "Sprite_Is_DeadFamiliar", but the game still gives my CON as a RED 17. Of course I can just change my CON to 19, but I'll get a red 18 in my stats - just doesn't seem right.

If anyone cares to suggest a fix I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll carry on with a 17 CON - I'll just say it was brain-damaged in the fight, and I had to put it out of its misery. I don't have a save game before that happened.
