All tame animals can be made "available" as pets via the Animals submenu of the {{L|Overall Status}} screen ({{key|z}}). If a dwarf likes a particular type of animal and a stray one is available, the dwarf may adopt the creature. This is limited by the dwarf's account if the {{L|dwarven economy}} is active. {{L|Cat}}s and kittens will "adopt" a dwarf instead of the other way around; they are the only {{L|creatures}} in the game that behave this way. |

Certain exotic animals can be tamed after the {{L|Dungeon Master}} shows up at your fortress. |

Young stray animals without parents and adult strays will tend to cluster around {{L|meeting hall}}s or {{L|statue garden}}s, if there are any.

Unnamed strays which die will be treated as ordinary {{L|refuse}}; their corpse (if {{L|butcher|butcherable}}) can be used for {{L|meat}} and their {{L|bone}}s, {{L|skull}}, and {{L|skin}} can be used for {{L|craft}}s and other goods. |
