Classes
There is too much spells handled by the add-on to list them here, see in game. But for a quick summary, it handles every speed increase spells.
Sets
In the Set Options category you will find several tabs.
- Companions and Mounts tabs: Here you can create sets and select which one is active for edition (If it is not the Default set you have to activate it before the add-on will use it, see bellow), when selecting companions or mounts in the Mounts List or the Companions List categories it will edit their respective active set.
- Default Sets category within Companions and Mounts tabs: Here you can create the default set of sets. This is useful if you want to create several sets and just use some of them as the default one. It is not mandatory and the add-on will search for a set named Default if nothing is set here. But if you have created a set and want to use it, it have to be selected here. Remember that the add-on will not use a custom set until asked for.
- Area Companions and Area Mounts tabs: Here you can define a set of sets for a given area, the add-on will use those sets if you are in that area.
Sets are saved on a global scope, they are not tied to the current profile, editing a set on a character will modify it for all your toons using that set. This is unique and all the other options are tied to the character profile (default set of sets, area set of sets, etc).
A set will not be considered active until it have at least one favorite selected.
Custom macros
You can edit the mount button macro, using classic macro syntax or LUA. As this feature is for advanced users I will not make a full documentation on it. Read the summary in game.
And if you import someone else code be sure to completely trust him/her. This code will be executed when clicking the button, and even if there is not threat for your account, you can still get griefed/scammed.
Other informations
Configuration panel
There is a lot of options, and I think more will come. But every option got a description in game, you are not alone. I will add here more information if something is reported unclear.
Commands
/petsandmounts (/pam is an alias)
/pam - Display the configuration panel /pam refresh - Force a pets and mounts databases refresh /pam show - Show the minimap button /pam resetzones - Reset the current zones database
/pampet - Random companion /pammount - Random mount (smart) /pamground - Random ground mount (forced) /pamfly - Random flying mount (forced) /pamaquatic - Random aquatic mount (forced) /pampassengers - Random passengers mount (forced) /pamsurface - Random surface mount (forced) /pamrepair - Random repair mount (forced)
Random summon
Here is the priority used by the add-on.
- Force one.
- Area override.
- Area (add-on forced, ex: vashj'ir, aq40). Can be disabled.
- Favorites and Area sets.
- All.
This can be altered by some items, the Magic Broom or the Haunted Memento for example. Those specifics instances can be disabled in the options panel.
Impact on the system
As every add-on relying on databases, it is using a lot of memory. Although it will not harass your CPU, especially in combat.
Support
If you find an error or have a suggestion, please use the tickets system. This is better as I instantly receive an E-mail. You can also help with the add-on localization.
Some features could not be available with the release version, as I edit the description when uploading new alpha. You can find all the add-on versions here.
Sadly i think this is bad news, the author was "Last login - Mar 25, 2015" :(
I picked up Livestock last night and it has almost all the features that I use. It doesn't seem to handle skills (sprint, roll, PwS) like P&M did, but the mounting and pets seems to be pretty spot on...
Thank you so much. <3
Can someone update this add-on. Its the best one and no other comes close to it. Its been really missed.
Please.
So is this addon dead?
Well my fix for cheetah/pack isn't working anymore, anyone know what's happened now?
Anyone have an idea why the chauffeur mount isn't showing up?
I managed to get mine working.
Open addon's Core.lua file and find A.mountTypeToCategory and add another line under [269] = 1 with [284] = 1,
you can copy and paste the code below and replace whats already there if its easier.

Hunter: didn't this used to cast cheetah if you hit the mount button while moving?
Yeah, it's been frustrating that that doesn't work anymore. Was gone over the weekend, will try to go post a ticket soon so we can getthat function back.
Edit: Ticket created.
Having the same issue.
Ticket is not accepted yet, and it looks like none of his addons have been updated in a while. Perhaps we have a dead addon now? :( Too bad, because I really preferred this interface. Oh well, back to Gup Pet I guess...
anyone know of a replacement addon for this? The cheetah issue is super annoying in raids.
3 requests that i think would be great additions:
1. Random mount - to be able to summon either ground or flying mounts even with flight restrictions. e.g. before level 60 and flying skill, random mount will only ever summon ground mounts even though you can use flying mounts as ground mounts and sometimes i love to do that - i want to truly be able to randomly summon any mount. It should also work for flying areas too instead of only summoning flying mounts in flyable areas when you have the skill, the random mount should also choose from your ground only list. Sometimes i really don't mind being on a ground mount in a flyable are, which is why i have individual binds for flying and ground in case i specifically wanted to one of the types. But random should choose from any of the categories regardless of whether it's a flyable area or not, or you have the skill or not, i spent hours trying to get the add on to be able to also use my fllyable mounts in ground only areas or pre-level 60 flight skill and was disappointed it would only select ground mounts and post lvl 60 with flying skill it would only select flying mounts.
2. Add druid travel form as a mount option even tho there is an option to use it when moving. which was nice btw, but it would be nice to have it on the list..same with chauffeur driven mount and Worgen Running Wild
3. Form specific mounts: I'd love to be able to summon very specific mounts when in Shadow form, Moonkin form and Astral form - prob have the option in the class specific tab, so you can add a preference to force certain mounts while in shadow form or in moonkin/astral form
Do you plan to add Chauffeur mount in the ground mount eventually?
It would be just perfect!
Is there an option to disable pet summon while eating/drinking that I'm missing? If not could one be added to the game?
Im a hunter and when ever i go into a BG i ofthen forget to dismiss the pet automatically, cause your addon do not do this, and the option "Revoke when stealthed" do not work when your a hunter and use Camuflage, you still keep the pet :(
Can you not implement so that when ever people enter a BG the pet gets dismissed ?
Have not found another addon that will do that :(
Ah nm i just made a little macro to do that when i use camuflage, only thing i have to remember is pressing it 2 times then.
#showtooltip
/dismisspet
/cast Camouflage
Here is another bug, if a mount is checked as a flying mount but gets moved to hybrid selection if will still be saved as flying. You have to unselect is as a hybrid and then disable it under flying to make it stop summoning before you can switch it back to hybrid.
