Box of Goats

You are the proud owner of a box of goats. They look curious and hungry... mostly hungry.

So, you should be careful about what you leave laying around near the box, because if the goats get ahold of it, it'll be gone forever.

After feeding the goats, depending on how many Calories they've accumulated, you get one of the following messages:

• When the goats haven't had enough to produce cashmere:

It doesn't look like your goats are ready for harvesting yet.

• When the goats have had enough to produce 1 wad of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats have produced a bit of cashmere.

• When the goats have had enough to produce 2 wads of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats could use a quick shave. And a hair cut. Two bits.

• When the goats have had enough to produce 3 or more wads of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats have produced a handsome crop of cashmere.

You got an item: X wads of cashmere

Sometimes, when feeding them, you'll get:

Huh. There are some goat horns at the bottom of the pen. You do a quick check to make sure none of the goats are missing theirs, but everyone looks fine. Huh.

You got an item: goat horns

When feeding them X combat items dropped by villains, you also get the following:

• When no cashmere was produced:

Once they finish eating, you challenge them to a quick game of marbles and walk away with one. Score!

• when cashmere was produced, in addition to the usual cashmere messages, you get:

You're not really sure when the goats took up shooting marbles, but they abandoned (one/some) when they went to eat. Finder's keepers.

You got an item: X goat's eye marbles

When feeding them 3*X Fast Eddy's cold cash, you also get the following in addition to thee cashmere messages:

Wow! Some of this looks like gold!

You got an item: X golden cashmere fleeces

Adding an item:
You place the X <item> in the box of goats. The goats take turns standing on your offering for a while, then eventually get hungry and eat it bite by bite. Wow, they really will eat all sorts of crazy stuff.

Adding a special item (see below):

Trying to add more of an item than you have:
You don't have as many of those items as you'd like to feed your goats. You're trying to give them X, but you only have Y.
