so many GOD DAMN CATS

[ModernGib]

So, due to an event which went as follows ; "A group of cats, abandoned or lost, have entered the area. They appear to be accustomed to human touch, so they join the colony."

I tried assigning images, but it didn't work. So heres a link. http://imgur.com/a/JJ9Hl
Little did I know that i'd take up eight small, UNTEACHABLE, UNMASTER-ABLE DAMN CATS
This was pretty early on within the game, too. About four raids in, and the colony is going 5 people strong along with two prisoners. So, I have this really compact-ish area that i've designated for my group and not much space for cats. In an act of panic, I quickly assign eight animal sleeping spots within the dining/kitchen area.
I then assigned a general area for these little whisker demons to earrape me with their constant meows
My finest shooters had recently shot down a muffalo group of about eight (i'm in a boreal forest) and so textiles were abundant, and I decided to make a cat-house.
About two days and the house was finished and the cats fell asleep within their muffalo-fur beds
Now, I haven't taken to favoritism as all they do is go around eating squirrels and my meats, aswell as nuzzle my pawns and meow speratically.. But I do like this little guy called 'Nosferatu', for giving me nostalgic feelings towards a Vampire : The Masquerade game. Any of you guys have experiences with mass amounts of animals? I remember a particular thread that had a story about guinea pigs swarming the colony then erupting in flames.

My cats are goddamn murder machines. There are zero small animals left on my boreal forest map, the cats ate all of them. I only have 2

Do you know of the Stephens Island Wren? Of course you don't. ONE CAT killed off the species.

lol my colony got a whole bunch of yorkies that way.  Thankfully a trader swung by immediately.  Would have easily run out of food otherwise (was winter).

I got the same event. For the last two years I have kept kitties around the base. Slaughtered or sold the extras whenever the number gets over 6 or so. I'd actually liked wtching them take down rabbits and squirrels. Made for a bit of extra food around the base. Then a siege happened and a shell killed most of them. I'm down to two males.

I'm actually sort of broken up over it. They made the place more lively.

Chickens man, chickens! They come in fucking droves!!!!, in my personal lp i had two farm animals wonder in and join events both where chickens and both had like 8-9 of them (roosters and hens) In my Youtube lp i was talking about getting that event but only with cows, low and behold chickens! like 6-7 of them. i cant escape them!

My cats eat kibble and I keep them indoors.  That may change when they get too numerous.

Yorkies are my least favorite breed of dog (had a really mean one bark constantly at me in my neighborhood growing up.)  Still, somehow just butchering them seemed wrong and wasteful when they can be sold for small handfuls of silver...

Had yorkies join as well. At first I though about butchering them for their beautiful soft skin, but my soft side got the better of me. I though that perhaps they would nuzzle my colonists, so I let them live. A month later, I checked my food storage, only to find ALL food gone. Let's just say my psychopathic butcher had a good time that day

Thats if you can get traders, if not- meat is meat.
