When I set my doors to tightly shut (to close down pet traffic) will this also bar pets like, for example, my assigned war dog and hunting dog population? Which I'd prefer to let about it's business.

I'm basically trying to force my stray cats and kittens stay indoors (rather than taking strangely circutous paths across the entire map, without so much as the advantage of ANY of them being eaten by wolves or something -_-;) so they can be caught and put in a cage/slaughtered. Will this also prevent my wardogs and such from getting outside as well?

Doors set to tightly shut will bar your war dogs from getting out just as well as they will your kittens - which is somewhat less than 100%, as animals tend to sneak through when the door is opened by a dwarf.

Not to mention that it has a tendency to wreak havoc with FPS.

Although if they are used in a certain way, they may not cause as much of a problem.

tightly shut doors fluctuate between 100% effectiveness and 0% effectiveness depending on the traffic of the area.

As said above, a dwarf walking through the door leaves it open so that pets can walk through it. Another problem is the animals tendency to clump up near doors that they cant walk through, meaning you'll have a potential jailbreak on your hands.
