Get a pet cat!

--// 🐱 SMART CAT COMPANION AI
--// FULL LIFE + BEHAVIOR + RAGDOLL + REAL JUMP + WALL SCRATCHING + SIT/SLEEP/LOAF
--// Model: 18314616360
--// Client-side LocalScript
--// Put in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts
--//
--// UPDATED:
--// ⏱️ Total lifetime = 1 hour
--// 🌱 Growth stops at 30 minutes
--// ❤️ Pet by TOUCHING the cat model (no ProximityPrompt)
--// 🐾 Improved petting animation
--// 🛡️ Animation offsets are isolated so limbs don't twist the whole body
