I've started a new fort with version 0.47.04 with the OldGenesis mod. As usual I was digging a slope into the ground - 3 blocks wide - so a caravan wagons are able to drive to the depot.

Now my fort is just a year and 5 cats / kittens died at the spot the slope is going downwards from ground level. In the game log I'm seeing these messages:

Code: [Select]

The stray kitten falls over.
The stray kitten is completely paralyzed!
The stray kitten has fully overcome the paralysis.
..
The Stray Kitten (Tame) has been found dead.

Never saw something like this before. Anybody else notices something like this? The message "has fully overcome the paralysis", would indicate that the cat survived the fall and has recovered from the paralysis. Any ideas?

Is there something causing paralysis around? Freakish rain or weather? Some type of animal that can paralyze?

It's possible the cat fell and continued to fall down your slopes, but it's certainly unlikely to happen unless the cat dodged something.

No visible creatures/animals. There is some kind of grass growing there (sparse short grass downward slope, sparse forest short grass downward slope) and some spots are filled with mire. Does not look unusual to me.

Well, mods can do weird things, so the first step would be to ask the mod maintainer if that's something that's supposed to happen. I'm not sure what "mire" filling out spots would be, for instance.

In vanilla DF evil weather and FBs/Titans can spread substances with effects (including paralysis), and those can linger and be spread around, with cats being especially susceptible given their cleaning behavior (in fact, if the syndrome substance has to be ingested, it might well be that cats are the only ones actually being effected).
