Tired of not knowing whether that trader's "Stray cat (tame)" is male or female? How many horses did you have to buy just to be sure you got a breeding pair? Well worry no more! For the common domestic animals (those in creature_domestic), I've made a very simple little modification that gives all the animals (excepting mules, because they're sterile anyway) a different male or female name. Now you can impound your female cats in cages near your butcher with comparative ease, simply by searching the list for "Stray molly cat (tame)".

Plus, you can always laugh at your brand-new "Stray War Bitch".

Changes can be made fairly easily to other files, and I might do those at some point.

Nice changes! Definitely helpful.

Slightly off-topic: Do you know if there's a way to make only one sex available at the embark screen, while still keeping the possibility that the other sex can be brought by traders or found in the wild?

Sorry, I'm pretty sure that's impossible. The best you can hope for is taking extra and slaughtering the unwanted ones, which is obviously undesirable.

Taking animals with you on embark provide an equal amount of males and females.
