Can cats become vampires?
« on: April 17, 2016, 04:26:26 am »
So I was thinking about the recently-fixed bug in which cats drank themselves to death after walking through alcohol puddles, and it occurred to me that since vampirism is transferred the same way as inebriation, a pool of vampire blood might lead to similar cat-shenanigans. Unfortunately, I've been having seven hells of a time getting a vampire to show up so I can stab him in the cat pasture, so I was wondering if anyone else had tried this and what their results were.

Not unless you mod them to have [CAN_LEARN] - only intelligent creatures can become vampires.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

If they could, the world would be overrun by vampire cats after the first vampirecatsplosion, so no.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

Cats are already forces of evil, so they ought to be protected from competing evil influences by their (unknown) masters even if sapient.

Forget vampire cats.  Japanese mythology has necromancer cats.
