So I bought my wife a kitten for her birthday, but I think it has adopted me instead. He's spent most of the last day sitting/laying on my shoulders. Obviously this has nothing to do with DF, but when we got him I couldn't help but think of the 'Urist has been adopted' line!

butcher the animal then use its skull to make a totem because the dwarf fortress animal protection rules don't apply in real life.

This should probably go in the Life Advise section.

But I seccond butchering. If for some strange reason this isn't an option, you should know that cats are only 'loyal' to whomever feeds them.

Cats aren't loyal to anybody.

They have their own agenda, wich span over all eternity and isnt subject to the constraints of space and time. If at some point a human is considered useful, then blessed he shall be!

Haven't you see that documentary about  cats and their future plans for earth... darn the name slips my memory... there was a bending robot... Futurama!

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

The problem here is that once the cat has adopted an owner, the owner must be killed before the cat can be butchered.

Sorry, about this SaberMonk, but it's for the universe's FPS.

How about if the cat is killed, reanimated and then killed again?

Urist McMrsSaberMonk has been miserable lately. She has lost a pet to tragedy lately. She has strangled her husband recently. She took joy in the slaughter recently. She has been attacked by a dead pet recently. She has been attacked by a dead spouse lately.

I still remember that thread all those years ago about an intense discussion on the possibility of FPS death in the universe. I never knew so many scientific fields could be applied to one topic.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.
