Tame Animals can be adopted as pets by dwarves. On the animals screen z-Animals, you can mark each animal as Available/Unavailable by selecting it and pressing Enter. Available large animals may be adopted by any dwarf, but tame vermin will only be adopted by dwarves who like that animal. Unavailable animals are treated as livestock, and you can ready them for slaughter at the same screen. Once an animal has been adopted as a pet, it will be given a name, and can no longer be slaughtered.
Cats are shown as "Uninterested", because cats choose their owners.
All cats will eventually adopt a dwarf if not slaughtered for +Kitten Tallow Biscuits+.
Dogs can be trained at the kennel. Trained dogs can be assigned to specific dwarves via that dwarf's preference menu.
Immigrants often arrive with pet animals, even if they are livestock animals such as horses. If those pets breed, the young animals won't be pets.
