Single female cat keeps spawning
« on: April 22, 2007, 10:55:00 pm »

Somehow it seems that the single female cat in my fortress and the caged cats brought merchants manage to get it on.  Every few years shortly after the merchants leave she pops out kittens.

This always leads to me pretending my dwarves are The Tick.  "Eat this kitten"  I always say it as I order all the kittens slaughtered.

That's just how it works right now.  I have a bloat up to fix it.  Right now, they practice action-at-a-distance tele(k/g)(i/e)netic mating.

Bloat46, PROPER PREGNANCY, (Future): Currently creatures become pregnant from a distance, although it does do a gender check at least.

Also gives new meaning to the phrase "Never saw it coming."

So...we have milky shrooms, crying shrooms, tough bark shrooms, and fast shrooms?
(that's cows, cats, dogs, and horses respectively)

maggots are milkey.  cows are just haunting with those ominous moooos.

gods navel, only a human would milk a cow.  whats wrong with you?

this does remind me of the old "spore theory" or "fungal theory" or whatever it was, from GORKAMORKA.  It never rode quite as well as the old rogue-trader snotling/brainboy explination, but it certainly fits here.  Clearly, Dwarfs and their domesticated fauna are all actually flora.

oh, and dont forget the giant stompy shrooms of dooms.

Elephants are my favorite pet.  I have about 100 now.  Thier slaughter schedule is right after lava flood the outside world and finalize slaughter of the mandrills.  Only about 30 of those left to butcher.
