Pet burial
« on: November 25, 2014, 08:06:52 pm »
I noticed two things.

1. A cat who was killed during a siege can't be buried like other pets (I tried dump-reclaim the corpse, but it didn't work). But I still managed to inscribe a slab for him.
2. A rabbit died for unknown reason was buried OK, but I can't inscribe a slab, because I can't find its name in the list.

Any idea?

Was this cat actually someones pet?  I don't think unowned animals will be entombed.

He got a name, so I guess he had a owner.

If the cat managed to kill something during the siege, it could have gained a name from that rather than being a pet.
In that case it would have become a historical figure and so be eligible for the inscribing, but having never been a pet won't get considered for burial.

This cat was not a member of my fort at all. Check that Moldath Tombswealth in the picture.
