will the requirement for cats to be partners before they can have kittens ever be removed? it was quite jarring signing up for such a queer positive set your cat's pronouns game to make catmint tea and get hit with a "childbirth may only take place under the sanctity of marriage" message LMAO ITS VERY OUT OF PLACE
@teaunicorn I don't know. Right now relatedness/inbreeding checking happens when cats become partners and not when making beans so that would not be a simple change either. (This is the only reason why it requires partnership before you use the tea.)
The catmint tea was a late addition to the game that was not in the original plans (it was going to only be through scenario prompts originally) so the system is not really built with it in mind. The process of checking lineages is a Huge ordeal too so it would not be easy to move. If stuff gets moved around for some kind of surrogacy system then it's possible I'd be able to relocate it, which can open this up, but really who knows until I get into the weeds of it.
At least currently you can work around it by applying the love letters and then immediately removing the relationship moments later.
