One of my friends on steam uses this as her profile picture and neither of us can find it.
It might be from the points shop but they only have animated avatars now. I thought it might have been Stray but doesn't seem to be the case.
This has been driving us mad haha!

is there any higher quality of this image? i feel the name tag whatever it may say would be very useful
I'm sure there is a higher quality image available
This image appears like OP took a screenshot of the friends profile image
OP would need to open the friends profile in a web browser, then right click their Profile image and click open image in new tab to open the image and be able to download it it's standard resolution
I downloaded the image but because steam profile pics are so small it doesn't help much, only thing I can make out is it has the letter F at the start :(
it seems other comments have locked it down to the cat being a 3d model from unity, it comes without the collar so what we have is knowledge of the name tag and the collar has pawprints on it, probably another unity model. would be hard to track down without the name sadly, F starting it is great though, convinced myself it was an M or something
Are you sure it's not just a custom avatar? If not you can go to edit your avatar and it will list all the ones you own by game so you can find out that way.
There is a chance that it is a Game Avatar, if they go to this link they can scroll through all Game Avatars they have access to and try to find it
https://steamcommunity.com/actions/GameAvatars/
Problem with that feature is, there's always a selection of random games on that page in addition to the ones you own. So if they got the avatar from one of these ... good luck finding it again.

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JeyRNm definitely this 3D model cat (same markings on the forehead), thing is anyone could have bought and downloaded this model and used it in their 3D artwork. It’s been around for 3 years. Collar is separate 3D model
Looks right, the color and pattern match OP's picture
Wow op, there is nothing i can find about this. Every revers image search i use says it is stray but knowing the game, there is no such red cat with a leash.
Could your friend look on the link https://steamcommunity.com/actions/GameAvatars/ this should show all the steam game avatars and the avatars of the games they own
That's the "Cat from Outer space". Damn, I'm old.

Never seen the movie, but I've looked through Google Images I don't think this is correct.
The CFOS has a very distinct collar, and lacks the nametag seen in this picture. This cat also has white going down their chest, the CFOS does not. The cat in OP's image seems to be a 3D model, the CFOS is a real cat.
That is not correct, it's obviously some sort of 3d model cat like from Sims or some shit
2nding this; my kiddos had this movie on repeat not that long ago, available on Disney +
Nice little gem.
recognized it instantly. This is the answer.
I immediately recognized it and am surprised you're the only one who said it. I guess I'm old, too.
I had the same thought immediately.
God, I hate that I am over 50 now.
I remember watching this as a very young kid and thinking 'cool i love really old movies. Im 47.
I wasn’t 100% certain but there where my thoughts went too.
I'm pretty sure it's this Unity Asset Store cat. The cat looks mostly the same and collar matches (without the nametag).
Unfortunately, as an asset store item, this screenshot could be from any number of games. If it's your friend's image they could narrow down their library to Unity games and try to see if any of them have cats. If they got it online... good luck.
i feel like this is sims 3 or 4 but it’s been a long time since i played
Too high quality for the Sims. The graphic style looks too realistic for those games
sims running on the highest settings really doesn’t hold up too badly even now, especially when you’re using mods. the way the collar is up so high and the way it’s laying around the neck looks a lot like collars do on pets in the last two games.
Definitely remember seeing this somewhere, unless similar images are just blending together in my mind (very likely). I’d have to say it’s from some sort of console game in the early 2000s, maybe PS2. Looks as if it would be a background asset (like a painting or a player card PFP for party games) rather than an actual model, which makes it a lot harder to find.
Edit: Reading some of these other comments made me realize that I don't think this is even relatively close.
It's this unity asset. That means it could be from any game that uses assets like that, which is... a lot. The game 'Copycat' has cats with similar collars and uses models like these so that's the best lead
Could it be from this game? There's a cat with the same "eyebrows" and similar collar down the page a bit: https://note.com/mmmryo/n/na0d1c089f3b9
Looks similar indeed, it's a VRChat world called "Paradisa" that features a lot of cats. Not sure if it's using original models or got them from somewhere else.
This one here maybe, "Copycat": https://store.steampowered.com/app/1622350/Copycat/
I gotta give you props for this, good eye. Copycat was made in Unity, which lead me to search the Unity Asset Store, where I found this. I'm pretty sure that's the same cat. Which unfortunately means OP's image could be from any number of Unity games.
Honestly that's what it's gotta be.
It feels like its tag reads “FE…”
I only can think of Felix as a cat name but I don’t think it says Felix
CAT FROM OUTER SPACE! :)
I'm almost certain that's from the game CopyCat.
Google Lens found this

Thats the Copycat cat. Same cat and collar model :) Although I think there isnt a black collar, idk if there is another game with the exact same 3d cat and collar
Looks a lot like the World of Tanks Christmas Cat.
But probably that would be too easy
I am guessing a worse case scenario that she probably forgot where she got this avatar. Maybe ask her to send ya a copy of that via email? 🤔
Orion from M.I.B. (I really wish it was but they are different)
They could’ve uploaded it themselves. I have a custom avatar on Steam.
Could this be from a game he has played in steam?, its not in the steam points store
it looks like the postal 2 kitty lol
Did a google image search, could it be from ORDER 13?
sims
Postal 2 cat
The cat from outer space maybe
Is that not the cat from Stray?
Pretty sure u can use google by using this image and it will try to track anything that looks familiar to it.
Is this from men in black movie, cat had belt of orion necklace.
The Sims perhaps?
Looks like the cat from the stray game? Kinda
Is this not from Stray
Looks like the cat from stray
That's the main character from Stray. Likely got it for playing the game? Or an achievement in the game...
Looks kinda like this game called stray but it’s low res and hard to see
My guess might be a Sims game
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1332010/Stray/
You sure this isn't from Stray?
Stray looks a lot different
True. But it was the first thing that came to mind...
Stray
It’s not stray.
Dude, just google reverse image search.
Should have mentioned I tried that and got nothing :(
Really, it was very easy for me https://i.imgur.com/Fnk7FPj.png
r/confidentlyincorrect
except the cat from stray doesn’t look like this and isn’t wearing a collar lmao
Is that not just giving visual matches to the image though?
So anything that looks similar will come up
We tried that
Stray.
Stray!
Is it not from stray?
