Bite 'Em Where It Hurts!

Description
Makes (Most) animals bite (A lot more often) instead of angrily scratching their targets.

Currently Affected:

-Squirrels (Their paws now deal bruising damage.)
-Iguanas (Their claws now deal bruising damage.)
-All Wolf Types (Arctic, and Timber.)
-All Fox Types (Fennec, Arctic, and Red.)
-All big cat types (Cougars, and Panthers.) (Will prefer to scratch over biting.)
-Wargs (Scratches slightly more often than most other animals.)
-Cats (Behaves similar to big cats.)
-Lynxes (Behaves similar to big cats.)
-Yorkies
-Huskies
-Labs

Other Things:

-Huskies and Labs are now considered predators, meaning that they will hunt animals that are smaller than them when hungry, things such as Squirrels and Hares.
-Huskies and Labs can now do surprise attacks, meaning that if they first strike a non agressive animal, it will do extra damage and be stunned.
-All animals still have the ability to scratch, but most will prefer to bite over scratching. Though the occasional scratch will get through, but they have reduced damage and a faster cooldown timer.

100% Compatible with A Dog Said!
Will be adding in a lot more animals to the biting list, if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.

@DeadTomLives This is true, but cats require the ability to subdue prey first. If they didn't, they would smash their teeth. Cat canines are much longer and more fragile than those of, ironically, canines. In fact I think cats have the largest canine teeth in comparison to mouth/body size of any animal in the Carnivore family. (Saber Toothed cats happened, after all, not so much saber toothed wolves or bears.)

I just made this suggestion solely because the cats lack the ability to subdue their enemies for a killing blow. In reality cats wouldn't bite and claw at prey repeatedly, that much is true. They pin it, cling to the nose or throat, and wait for it to suffocate. Don't have that in Rimworld I'm afraid. So in this case they would claw more than bite.

Cats fighting to express dominance, sure, cats outright trying to kill something leap onto stuff and bite it immediately. Even the big cats are fairly fragile, for all their muscular strength, so subduing prey immediately is paramount. I just watched a few youtube videos of various big cats hunting animals and there's really not a lot of claw action beyond using them to hold onto the prey animals.

So in the context of the game, sure, it's better for them to sometimes scratch or even to do it more often; but Dinoman is confusing play/ritual fighting with 'fighting' to kill and when trying to kill something cats bite it.

@Dinoman9877 I've realized that. Released an update a moment ago, makes them scratch more often than they do bite, I would've made them only bite them while on the ground, or only when they're attacking a downed person, but, I don't think that's possible.. ..At least from where i'm standing at.

I take problem with the cats biting. Cats across the board rarely bite when fighting. Their jaws aren't made for it. The muscles in their forelimbs are specifically designed for quick, powerful movements to make use of the claws. Biting is only used when prey is subdued enough to get the teeth to someplace important like the neck.
