In older versions of DF (including 0.28 and 0.31), chained animals would still try to pathfind to other locations in your fortress (such as nearby meeting areas), and when they reached the end of their chain they would briefly go prone (i.e. getting yanked back by the neck and falling over).

It's my guess that this is what you're seeing here, and the easiest way to solve it is to chain your animals further away from such locations.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Poor kitty. This sounds most plausible so far.

She's no longer spazzing out and is behaving normally again.

Did your FPS change significantly after the cat stopped spazzing?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

No, it had no effect on the FPS AFAIK.
I'm curious to see if the cat does it again, I'll keep an eye out.
