Question - what are these for?

3 Clear Glass Vials (If possible, like I said I haven't checked. Also, not needed if the map you embark on has sand, and you'd want even more in the long run it doesn't)

Making an Alchemist's laboratory requires 3 Clear Glass Vials, and the lab is where you turn tallow into soap.

Ah, cat soap

4. I think the best option for un-adoption is a tightly sealed door in front of a retractable floor. Plenty of cat bones to be got that way and you could just forbid the door when you don't want to cull the pet population.

Can cats adopt people if you stuff them in a cage?  If not, I can see the value in bringing a cage, building it immediately, and stuffing the felines in the cage as fast as possible.

Kittens won't adopt if they're stuffed in a cage.

No they don't. Either of them.

Oh, my ones must have adopted it before my dwarfs managed to round em up (there were 50 of them afterall) - be careful of this, as i found out - adoption = Uneatable-catsplosion.

Like I said, separate them from their owners with a pet impassible door + vanishing floor.

You can either use restricted traffic areas to set up a path pets will try to go through while dwarves use a side path triggering a plate that takes the floor away from the cat or you can have a side passage where the pet triggers a plate just before stepping on a longish bridge.


I don't worry too much when they adopt male cats. Female animals are almost the only factor in how fast their populations grow.

So cat fort needs to become china fort.......

i'm thinking, cage female kittens and drop in river?

[Airpi]

Nah, just have butchers on hand to deal with them when they pop out of the breeding cages. How else are you gunna make all those kitten mittens?
