This error [[announcement]] is actually caused by an old bug in the system which was reintroduced in 40d. When a [[pet]] [[cat]] kills a [[vermin]], it picks it up with its mouth and carries it to its owner, to bask in the display of gratitude that every cat owner shows upon being gifted small dead animals. | This error [[announcement]] is actually caused by an old bug in the system which was reintroduced in 40d.

However, since cats do not have any body parts capable of grasping, the job cancels with the reason "too injured" and the vermin is dropped on the ground. |
