The capital is lagging dead because of these damn domestic animals.

There is a finely-engraved image of Ascimator on the wall. Ascimator is slapping himself in the face. The artwork relates to the loss of the only anvil in Perplextombs in the late winter of 6.

There's obviously only one solution.

Roll up your sleeves; it's cow-tipping time.

The entire civilization will attack you in the name of cows.

Yep. Had me a chicken for dinner and massive internal bleeding for breakfast.

It doesn't help the lag that the cats are constantly butting heads and the chickens constantly scratching around.

Yeah, apparently "loving cats and keeping large amounts of semi-strays around" is not just a dwarf thing like we thought, but rather just a sentient-being thing in general within the Dwarf Fortress multiverse.

That's the point, it wouldn't be as fun to crush their souls if they didn't have souls to begin with.

Straysplosion you say? I can help you with that. This will give you a magical death-stare that only works on felines.

If you want to simultaneously re-enact the battle of Volohoi,

[HOMEOTHERM:60000]

Justify it with Doom music.

doesn't that translate in CAT PARTS EVERYWHERE which combined with temperature checks will make things even worse?

The first method turns every bodypart into a gas at once with no heat. POOF. A nice clean kill, no chunks or flames.

The second method produces a blasted smoky hellscape of burning cat corpses, but they burn away really fast and leave nothing at all behind.

If you really want them gone then you can just delete the creature entirely, but that's much less fun.
