Will someone please list the growth of cats and dogs? Is it just Kitten, Housecat, Large cat? Are there more cat stages? What are the dog stages?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.235.100 (talkcontribs)

Kitten, Housecat, Large cat. Small dog, dog, large dog. If you want more, see mondata.c#grownups-array. --Stefanor 02:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Keeping non-eating pets

How do I keep a pet tame if it doesn't eat? I have a level 37 Arch-Lich, and I feel like I should be the one at the end of the leash. I'm terrified this thing will go hostile and I'll have no way to kill it. --66.23.133.52 02:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it will go hostile as opposed to peaceful - I think that's reserved for eating pets that were left alone long enough that they would have starved to death. You might want to keep a scroll of genocide in reserve in case I'm wrong about that. --Ekaterin 08:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Naming Pets

Can someone tell me how to name a pet?

Use the "C" command and select your pet. --Cronot 16:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Ressurecting dead pets

The Article says I can ressurect dead pets. But on the 2 times I've tried that (with a wand - my caracter is a Ranger), the pet was ressurected hostile. I don't remember what was the first pet, but it was some minor pet like a dog or cat. The latest one, which I've just lost, was a Silver Dragon. I've lost him on Fort Ludios, to a bunch of other dragons. When I zapped undead turning on his corpse, he came back hostile, and I couldn't do anything to tame him back (well, I've tried throwing tripe rations, but he wouldn't catch it - he used to when he was tame). Had to kill him... :´-(

Did I do something wrong? Or is the tame status of a pet just random when he is turned from the dead? --Cronot 16:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
