cat cancels clean self: area inaccessible
antone:
I keep getting spammed by messages like: cat cancels clean self: area inaccessible what area is he looking for ?
Paul:
Reading the thread title made me think of an image of a cat with one of those cones around its head desperately trying to lick itself. Area inaccessible!
Scruga:
So this is a feature and not a bug.
Todestool:
I know dorfs need water to clean themselves, so maybe critters do too. That spam is most likely the result of the fairly common pathing bug. Locking and unlocking a door (any door, anywhere) should fix it. If you have no doors, save and reload.
There is also a vanishingly small possibility that you actually have a cat trapped somewhere. Just follow the piteous mewing...
Deathworks:
Hi!
Yes, cats (and other animals) use water to clean themselves up, adding to the blood bath surrounding your water sources.
Actually, thanks to that behavior, I had the funniest (in my opinion) job cancellation thus far:
XXXXX, cat cancels clean self: water source vanished
Fortunately, that was something I expected and no problem - my water source are surface pools, and they freeze over for a few days during winter.
