This was certainly true in 40d as well.

Your dwarf likes cats. Why do you consider this a bug?

Sorry mate, this isn't a bug. In previous versions this would occur too. Made it slightly easier to resolve cat overpopulation.

Cats preferentially are adopted by someone who likes cats. Given how the character generator works, it's likely you ended up with one dwarf who likes cat in your fort, thus he/she got all the cats.

Granted this is a fluke of the random number generator, but I'm afraid it's nothing more.
