There is a land rental guy on the sim I am on and while he and his operations are fine occasionally his tenants cause problems (usually encroachment over my border), that said I don't think he places restrictions on breedables so might be worth a look, its the parcel right next door to my cattery and you can TP there from my picks if you are interested in looking. Its usually Estate rentals with restrictions rather than mainland ones I think. The landlord are the ones getting moaned at on Estates but mainland rentals seem to be slightly more relaxed. Anyway, he has a booth with his rentals on the plot next to me. There are horses on one of the rentals and a lot of them, I rarely have any issues with my cats here. Hope that helps 
Thank you, Arwen! Mainland rentals do seem to have less rules; it's probably why I'm generally more comfortable there. lol I'll definitely check out your landlord's rentals.

Thank you for the suggestion, Shannon. I'll check them out.

Physics Time is what can lag, so best to restrict the moving cats to ranges that do not collide with walls etc. Also set trees, shrubs, and furniture to phantom when possible.
My breedables usually have movement turned off, but I keep them 3D unless I am running short of prims. It all depends on how many 3D cats you want to move. 100 breedables with movement turned off contribute little to lag, about the same as 2 mesh avatars on the sim.
I also keep breedables out of sight on a platform 3500 meters up, since those same script heavy mesh avatars that complain about lag are usually creating it themselves. But if they see breedables or pets next door, of course they will assume that is the problem.
Generally if your cats do not increase lag more than your avatar you are fine with a reasonable land company. Many landlords are totally unreasonable however, and just avoid renting from them.
This is in my Covenant about animals:
8. Breeding animals are allowed if movements and sounds are turned off and lag stays under control.
9. Pets (NON - Breeding ) are allowed if they don't collide with objects and movement is turned off when no one is in the parcel.
I have been here 4 years and have never had a complaint. When there is a lag issue, it is always some newbie moving in with animesh pests running all over and getting stuck in walls. Or someone that rezzed enough scripted objects to be labeled a griefer.
Shamu, thank you for this information. I had no idea that collision with physical objects causes lag. I'm pretty sure I set all my trees and landscaping to phantom, but not the walls of my house and not my furniture. I would regularly see my kitties trying to push their way through the walls to get in or out. Lag can definitely be a problem when so many objects have scripts in them. Once I find a new home, I'll keep all this in mind. Thanks, again!
