::Death rooms are mandatory in fortresses requiring high fps. Best if you station them near main corridor with few backup corridors. It may be possible to trap pets by just door settings alone. Animals don't know that tightly-closed doors count as forbidden for them and will not include them in pathfinding calculations (they see free corridor, not closed door). They will stand before tightly closed door and won't find a better way. Forbidden doors count as obstacle and will be bypassed if possible. This may be used to create automatic death rooms (if they are controlled by pressure plates you may need absolutely no dwarven intervention). Also, you can't butcher cats killed by anything other than butcher, so no +Kitten Tallow Biscuit+ for you. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 17:35, 9 May 2008 (EDT) | ::Death rooms are mandatory in fortresses requiring high fps.

Worked and worked well, thank you sir. I prefer the spike trap, personally. [[User:Ripheus|Ripheus]] 22:55, 24 March 2008 (EDT) | Worked and worked well, thank you sir. I prefer the spike trap, personally. [[User:Ripheus|Ripheus]] 22:55, 24 March 2008 (EDT) | ||

On the z-animals menu, at least once the economy starts, non-cat pets have a price listed next to them. Is it possible to buy pets off owners? If so, how? (If not, why the monetary value?) --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 02:22, 29 April 2008 (EDT) | On the z-animals menu, at least once the economy starts, non-cat pets have a price listed next to them.

:If you mark stray pet as available it'll have price too. It's the price at which a dwarf can buy a pet, whether it's owned by other dwarf or is stray. That's what I think.--[[User:Dorten|Dorten]] 03:22, 29 April 2008 (EDT) | :If you mark stray pet as available it'll have price too.

::: I'm hoping they do! I bought a tame black bear off some shady elves, and I'm hoping it'll get adopted soon; prefeably by a military dwarf, or at least one that spends a decent amount of time outside of Rissenpaddle's halls. Can't wait to see the look on those goblin's faces! --[[User:Eddie|Eddie]] 07:14, 26 July 2008 (EDT) | ::: I'm hoping they do!

If you assign a kitten to a cage, it is possible for it to adopt a dwarf before it is put in the cage; I found a pet in my cat cage. --[[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 03:08, 19 October 2008 (EDT) | If you assign a kitten to a cage, it is possible for it to adopt a dwarf before it is put in the cage; I found a pet in my cat cage. --[[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 03:08, 19 October 2008 (EDT) | ||
: Yep, it is quite possible. I've had it happen on a few occasions (much to my annoyance). --[[User:Toloran|Toloran]] 15:09, 2 November 2008 (EST) | : Yep, it is quite possible.

::Generally its prefstring, although common pets may be less bound by that. Also, cats adopt dwarves (not vice-versa), so whether the dwarf likes cats or not is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is whether the cat likes the dwarf - there are dwarves that cats will *not* adopt. Presumably this is based on personality somehow. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 21:58, 18 January 2009 (EST) | ::Generally its prefstring, although common pets may be less bound by that.
