For some animals it seems you can train them without resorting to modding.
Bears for example you can train to war or hunting bears. I'm pretty sure you can train cougars too.

I mean, i'm quite sure i've trained cougars yet i've never changed the raws.

so build the cage somewhere, (q) over it, unassign the animal in it with enter (the animal in it is at the top of the list, maked with +, enter on it will remove the +), wait for a dwarf to free the animal, then finally (q) over the kennels and train a war or hunting animal. you dont get a choice which animal to train but if you simply put the train job on repeat it'll eventually train the cougar.

I think the issue with the [PET_EXOTIC] tag is that a) you cannot tame animals with this tag without a dungeon master, and b) without a dungeon master, animals with this tag won't breed properly. So you can still train a tame Giant Eagle into a War Giant Eagle without the DM, but it wont breed, and you can't tame wild ones.

yeah you can do that.  thats what the program does, its just faster

My point being that if a mac can't run the program, it doesn't mean that you're out of luck if you want to tame exotic animals on a mac.

An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

The OP bought the cougar from merchants, so it should already be tamed. You can train for war/hunting, and then tie it up as a guard.

As for seeds, are your seed piles set to use barrels? Do you have bags for the seeds?
