RE: Question on physics: no movements/animations
To answer the specific question: yes, your cats eat and sleep just fine when Posed and when in low-prim modes. And, the implied question, yes they would be allowed over 400 meters when in one of those modes.
I agree, though, that I'd look for a more breedable-friendly location. But, since it's your friend's place, if you want to put out a cat or two as decoration, on the ground, I'd stick to posed, or low-prim, cats. If you are over 400 and want to breed a box or two or let the cats wander the house, I'd go up in the air. Personally, I'd actually go over 1000, to avoid interference with/from ground an low-flying avatars. But, at 400, at least, you can actually enjoy the sunset, so maybe not.
While KIttyCatS used to be very lightly scripted, over the years, it seems more and more scripts have been added. They're still fairly low lag, and nowhere near the problem some of the original (and most of the current free-script) products, but they are creeping up there. But, still, even 1,000 moving, live cats on a region don't come close to the lag of a nobody-ever-come-here dance club or casino.
I spent weeks investigating the intermittently severe lag on a sim with several thousand live and boxes cats. The cause of the lag? Avatars coming and going. Which was not surprising, in the least.
