Improve your dining room.

I'm not sure which of the following interpretations I get from that:

1: If your dining room is nice, no one will care about a little odor.
2: This is a finely-crafted table.  It is encircled with bands of superior quality kitten bone.

Legendary dining room + dwarf = happy

Your signature is oddly appropriate.

Personally, I can't stand DF cats. Any immigrant than arrives with a  cat, earns them a death sentance. I change their occupation to "cat owner", then lock them in a  room to die. That way, later when I look at the coffin, I know what happened to this particular dwarf. After the owner is dead, and cat/kitten becomes free, I immediately set the offending "vermin" to be butchered. I have a  trapper in my fort set to trap animals perpetually. Usualy I have between 20-30 taps sitting in my stock pile, and once in a  while I will empty them into a cage, if my dwarves dont eat them fast enough.

edit: stupid fnigres and keyboard, I need a new typist who actually proofreads what he types ::)

You're a kind of a terrible person.
Both in a dwarf treating and a typing :P.

I think this song sums up the solution pretty well. But the video there sucks, so yeah I'm only talking about listening to the song not watching the video.

Note that vermin gnaw on your food, even if stockpiled. This causes the XX-cat tallow biscuits-XX. Having your food in barrels(especially metal ones) will dramatically decrease this problem, but it still serves as something to consider in the vermin vs. miasma debate.

That, and cave spiders.  Once I found I had a chasm, snip/snap went the kitties necks.


Actually, I was a little more merciful.  I used dwarf companion to turn them all into vermin.  Poetic justice, neh?

I have a simple solution - all messages of "x has given birth to (a) kitten(s)", I order them into a cage near my wagon.  A convenient meeting area, people with a cat affinity can get their jollies, and when the caravan comes I can demolish the cage and trade it in for a fresh one, that the new kittens go into :D

That and I think recently I had a cat inside the cage give birth - I looked in announcements, heard of a cat giving birth, no kittens to put in the cage, and no adoption messages  ???

his right kidney has been poked out!
his liver has been mangled!

jack johnson, raider has been shot and killed.

The above (including bbcode) neatly weighs in at 255 characters. Fallout meets DF

She ate it because you kept fussing around with them. It's all your fault, frostedfire. Next time leave the baby kittens alone!
