Has anyone tried the opposite of a catplosion? Yes I mean catsicles. Set the cat's body temp below its freezing point.

I think you just get a cat corpse that freezes your dwarves as soon as they touch it.

Iron, steel, and something else are your three useful metals for armor and weapons. The wiki explains how the first two work and how to make/get them. My suggestion is to just dig tons of exploratory tunnels and use "up/down" stairs to make going up and down easier, if the metal's on the map you'll find the ore that way.

I wonder if you set their body temperature just below their burning point if they'll explode only when they come into proximity. 
A sub-critical mass thermonuclear kitty? Awesome.

Oh, and keep the wiki open as you play. I have played for months and still do.
v-p-l to select (v) a dwarf, set preferences (p), labor preferences (l, lowercase L), then turn on engraving.
