God-tier is the way to go!

I know that dogs would be the more logical choice, and history shows that, too.
But this is a game, and the creator didn't say anything about realism, so...

Vote for roartigershopefullygiantcats!

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Forgot to switch things over to the voting phase.  So, yeah, corrected that.

Voting Phase Begin

Below are the suggestions that had been made.  Select any three.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Animal Skin (resource)
Description: Animals skins dried with salt make soft yet strong cover.  Can use on body and sleep huts, protects from weather.
Resources: Animals (Antler, Hairy Horn, Neigh) skin, Salt

Name: Animal Gut Rope  (resource)
Description: Animals insides cut into ropes with sharp rock make soft yet strong ropes.
Resources: Animals (Antler, Hairy Horn, Neigh) insides, Sharp Rock

Name: Shoot Stick (weapon)
Description: Strong wood bends.  Tie Gut Rope one ends of Strong wood. Use smaller Pointy Stick in middle of Gut Rope, Hold Strong Wood, Pull Gut and let go makes smaller Pointy Stick go far and stab animals.
Resources: Animals Gut Rope, Strong Wood, "smaller" Pointy Stick.

Name: Farming
 Description: Trash piles seem to grow plants thrown away. Can we make plants grow where we want them somehow?

 Name: Tame Growls
 Description: If we take small growls, can we be their pack when they get big? Would help protect home.

 Name: Milling/baking
 Description: If we try taking grained grass, crush between two rocks (one with a dip in it would eb good), then mix the resulting powder with water and put next to fire, may be good food for when hot meat is too messy.

Fishing nets
Using ropes or vines to braid fishing nets. Makes catching swimmers easier.

Wicker baskets
Better for transport than pots. Easier to make and doesn't shatter when hitting the ground too hard.

Roar taming
Stealing and taming the cubs and killing the old ones could be the easiest way, until we have a tame breeding population.
Will be good for defense, offense hunting, and cuddling.

I vote for the Animal Skin/Gut/Stick-shooting Tree.

[piratejoe]

I vote farming, nets, and tame growls.

[Ultimuh]

Skinning, Gutting, and Taming Growls


(Maybe I, or someone, should after this, suggest milking Neighs. What? The Mongols did it.)

[Aseaheru]

 Farming, Fishing, Milling.

[RAM]

Name: Milling/baking We need our dorfs to learn mechanism!
Roar taming 'cause otherwise there would not be a thing to feed the elves to!
Fishing nets For kitty fud!

[Aseaheru]

 Elves?! Where?!

* Aseaheru grabs a pointy stick

[Ultimuh]

* Ultimuh rolls his eyes.

There be no elves.
Elves come from dreams. Dreams cannot hurt.
But Roars and Growls can hurt. Be wary of Growls and Roars.

[Aseaheru]

 Well, thats caffeine containing substances researched next...

There's a reason giant cats aren't domesticated, they are carnivores and are in competition in a finite meat source.
I suppose we can master fishing as a means to feed ourselves and captured cats. 
But domesticating would mean diminishing their hunting instincts.
Our Neighs will be a source of distraction and food/prey for the cats. 
It would be interesting to see "war roars" with neigh ridden hunting party. 
But I don't think trained roars can co-exists with neighs.

Does voting mean, my proposal do not automatically get +1 from me, meaning I have to still post my votes?
I suppose voting make sense if I find other proposals priority.

+1 Name: Animal Skin (resource)

+1 Name: Animal Gut Rope  (resource)

+1 Name: Shoot Stick (weapon)

Fishing Net             5
Milling                     4
Animal Skin            3
Animal Gut Rope    3
Tame Roar              3
Shoot Stick            2

Looks like we have another tiebreaker.  Select one from the following:
1) Animal Skin
2) Animal Gut Rope
3) Tame Roar
