If cats are a problem, then put the cat-loving dwarf in a danger room (armor optional). If the dwarf dies, then you can slaughter the cats. If the cats die, then the immediate problem is solved.

I also noticed a complete lack of catsplosion on my fort on the current version. In fact, I noticed that I couldn't recall a single "Meowingtons has adopted Urist" message, unless the game no longer broadcasts those by default anyway.

I was one of those people who made maximum-size pastures and then ran into the bug/malfeature of animals starving to death on top of grass while walking towards some other grass. For a while, until I figured out that the problem could be prevented with smaller pastures, I had VERY few animals and took to breeding cats *deliberately*, with limited success.

Why don't you penetrate the caverns?

That might not necessarily work.

Perhaps it was a bug, but the one time I breached a cavern, there was a lot of mud, but no fungus to be found (neither the "grass", "shrub", nor "tree" class appeared to be represented).

I don't think it's a bug, I've occasionally encountered those caverns. You just have to start muddifying other part of underground, IIRC.

I've had that happen too, although I got bored with that fort before I was able to see if a barren underground meant no moss for the fort.

I have goatsplosions now Slaughtering all those useless billy goats (except the large one with gigantic muscles) seems to have the adverse affect of mass nanny goat birthing. I get birthing spam right before spring, and have to scramble new pastures for the kids.

At least with cats you can shove them in one cage.

Training spears set in upright spear traps and a lever are brutally effective at keeping the pet population at bay.

Danger rooms in my fort have eventually killed every single last non-slaughter-able pet in the fortress. Huzzah!

[Caldfir]

Yeah, goatsplosions are easy to set up, but they are butcherable (except for named pets of course), and do not adopt dwarves, so the problem is easy to fix.

I encountered the same thing - that happens when the cavern has no water - nothing can grow.
