I've always played it as this. Critter with no intelligent mind (ie no
charisma rating) are adversly affected by cyber. Those that do have an
intelect don't. So the cyber-vamp I asked about earlier would not go crazy
nor would a devil rat (char. 5 {didn't know that did ya?}) My reasoning is
simple. Everything is a critter (metahuman's too). Now if meta's don't go
crazy why should something else go crazy when the only difference is that
they are labeled critter and not PC races? So watch out for those cybered
mesitersingers next time you go on a nice midnight cruise. :)

Just because a human needs the IMS doesn't mean the animal does. The use of
an IMS would be the wrong way to go anyway. What you'd want is a
controllable cyger robot. (esp. if the doggie can get rigged) What they'd
actually need is something that keeps the animals sprit in the body but not
the animal's mind. The IMS keeps the mind in the body also.
