KittyCatS! Market Improvement Suggestions

yes, having cats die unless they're permapets helps. And them stopping to breed at 4 months does much the same thing.
How many breeders keep their cats after 4 months rather than sending them to the menagerie for K$? Very few I think, except maybe some they've grown very attached to and those may well be turned into permapets.

Now, one way to limit the population explosion would be to limit the number of kittens each cat can produce. So either reduce those 120 days to say 60 (which halves the productive life of a cat) or increase the time span between births, reducing the rate at which they breed.
The second is more friendly towards new and small breeders, the first might benefit the big ones for whom having more cats to pump out the same number of kittens doesn't matter much. It will of course make it more expensive for them to keep up their current rate of production, which will cause at least some of them to slow down.

Both systems would cause a reduction in the number of kittens produced, which over time at least would increase market value and rarity.
