When you make a cage, and put some food in it, it is possible to catch an annimal. depending on the food and the size of the cage, you can catch different kinds of animals.
When it is young enough (random luck), you have the option to tame it. Taming an annimal is a project, a pet is an object.
Non-tameable animals can only be killed or released.
Pets have variour options:
