automatic cattle repellent mode

Idea:
Add a switchable mode that, when activated, automatically drives nearby cattle away.
Pretend to be Ronaldinho and constantly shout "Shoo, shoo, shooo!"

Reason:
- When there are a lot of animals, poking each one and chasing them away is inconvenient.
- When your hands are full, you can't chase away an animal - even though in reality, you can do this with your voice or body.
- Getting to the right place in a herd of animals takes a long time.

Implementation:
Make pets scatter to the left or right of your direction of movement.

It's quite common to get stuck among animals while carrying something, leaving you with nowhere to place the object so you can press on the animal and drive it away.
It's also common for another animal to block your path while you're chasing one animal away. In reality, you simply walk through them, pushing them aside with your body, or they move away on their own.
Building separate pens for each animal is possible if you don't have many livestock or if you have a lot of space. In most cases, however, if there are many livestock, they are kept in a large common pen.
