Add cats

I think, there should be cats in the game. Let me explain.
There will be catnip, a new type of plant starting to become visible at around 1000 forage level on a clear day. You will be able to use it as a very bad curio or use in a similar fashion to clover in order to tame lynx and turn them into cat:

Now, what will the cat do? The cat will not do anything, but, it will occasionally scratch it's claws over wooden buildings damaging them a bit. Cat will also sometimes, if it finds a rat, kill it and bring it to owner

Domestic cats should also have Catness stat:
- A cat with low Catness is as active as a footstool. Being docile it just chills wherever it is left. It purrs
- A cat with high Catness K I L L S. It brings you rats, squirrels, birbs and sneks. It chases bears that approach your claim

Decay to furniture, symbel, and garden pots, as well as the chance to interrupt your characters' sleep (affecting their healing and TW recovery), should also be connected to Catness. In spring cats screech

I think thats a pretty neat idea, therefore it should be implemented.

In addition to catness level you can make them have different fur patterns like cows and horses.

From a psychiatric point of view, domesticating animals not for work and resources, but for friendship and love, living together with them, is nothing more than the first stages of such a serious mental disorder as zoophilia.

I don't see any gameplay use for them still, yet another flavor object players will force themselves to fell for.

Pets (cats and dogs) are a very sought-after thing in the game. the dog helps in hunting. A cat brings birds, ruins nests....
