Cats attempting to store in stockpiles
« on: September 11, 2008, 01:11:11 pm »
Cats are killing things and now are trying to store all the remains, though all cats are healthy I've been getting cat spam about too injured to store in stockpile. Starts apparently right after job is started and this started happening after last time I updated DF

i think it's a feature. I've seen pets lay vermin at their dwarf's feet, which mirrors real life behaviour (now if we could mangle vermin).
I could be wrong though. The cat-spam's well-known though.

The common user interpretation is, that the cats first try to carry the vermin in their hand, but then discover that they miss all fingers and therefore are too injured (because of their missing fingers) to carry the vermin in their hands.
After realizing this, however, they think about alternative ways and decide to carry the vermin in their mouth so that, despite their "injury" they get the vermin to the place they want  ;D
