You don't need to restart a fortress, you can just kill the cats
At .05 fps, it’s faster to restart entirely.
I can't relate because my forts never got to that point even with a really big number of cats. I know that with DFHack you can set up an auto butcher thingy that controls the population though!
That sounds incredible! The game used to be so barebones and unoptimized that it was essentially a balancing act between efficiency in the game and efficiency in processing it.
