Enrich the lives of your hard-working settlers with the addition of cats and dogs. More than just companions, dogs will protect your crops from deer and the new ravenous groundhogs, and your chicken coops from shrewd fox invaders. They can accompany your hunters to keep them safe from wildlife and help rat catchers sniff out rat infestations. Cats may be their own masters, but they will keep rat populations under control, easing the burden on rat catchers. Villagers gladly take a pause from their busy lives in the frontier to play with their new pets, offering relief from life's hardships.
