KittyCatS! Update V1.09
~`*~`*~`*~`*~`*~`*~`*~

Hello to our AMAZING KittyCatS Owners!

WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS UPDATE !!! We have worked really hard to bring you 2 very cool new features and we hope you are as excited about them as we are! DID WE TELL YOU WE’RE EXCITED???????

And… once again, we want to thank you for being a part of our community. Each of you contribute in some way that makes our awesome community what it is and we truly appreciate what you bring to the KittyCatS! experience.

Ok so let’s get RIGHT TO IT and let you know what’s coming inside your little can-o-update!

NOTE: If this is your first time doing an update with KittyCatS! the process is very simple. Yes, you heard right, VERY simple. (At the bottom of this note are the simple steps on how to update)

HIGHLIGHTS

Introducing: LESS IS MORE – a prim-saving feature.

KittyCatS! proudly introduces our “Less Is More” feature. What is less is more? Simply put, it turns your cat into an 8 prim cat when in use (Yes, 5 or 6 prims saved on each cat!). For our introduction we offer 3 different options, for your cats to “rest” in.

In this update, a natural woven basket, a wooden water bucket they love to bathe in, and a decorative container. These 3 are a sampling of more to come in future updates. We hope you enjoy this feature! Now you can perhaps rez some of your furniture, houses, trees and all the other things you’ve had to get rid of as your cats pushed you out of house and home! Perhaps even get your partner back!!! And for those of you who wanted even MORE room for cats… you will LOVE this!

For KittyCatS HUD owners the low prim setting can be set trough the HUD as well all at once, including a handy “randomize” button which assigns a random low prim pose to each of your cats

Introducing: PET N’ PLAY – “any time, anywhere, any cat”

Ever wish you could just pet your Kitty and relax under a tree? Wish you could pamper them with lots of love? Spoil them like they demand? Well NOW you can! The Pet N’ Play feature allows to you Pet & Play with ANY KittyCatS you want! Simply right click, hit “pet” and go!** We have dreamt of this feature since before we launched and we are SO happy to finally be able to bring it to you! Our hope is that it will add a whole new dimension to your experience with KittyCatS! We have loved making it. It has been one of our greatest challenges so far on many levels and we really hope you love it.

**On Third-Party viewers, if “Pet” is not visible use “Sit” instead!

Our scripter did a really amazing job with this so make sure to let him know when ya see him!

A very special thank goes to Adorkable Peapod of Adorkable Poses who worked closely with the team on the animation designs and poses. She contributed so much heart and time into her work and we really appreciate all the work she did and many changes, adjustments, and changes….. adjustments… and… She is awesome!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the infinite number of avatar size possibilities and cat sizes it is impossible to “fit” the avatar to the cat perfectly with the limitations we have in SL. For best results you may need to adjust your shape depending on how much you want to “perfect” the placement. (the best way for this is to make a COPY of your shape, name it “KittyCatS petting shape” and adjust things like height, arm length etc. THIS IS NOT NECESSARY, but a suggestion for those who may want to get the adjustment factor closer if it’s off for them.)

ADDITIONS

New Love Indicators: When your cat is ready to breed it will now show you 2 HEARTS Also when your cat has some vitamins left in it, the Love symbol will show as a clear heart, meaning you can’t give it more vitamins.
Ofcourse, the cat still needs a partner KittyCat in range to be able to breed
Here is an example of how it will now look.

• Cats will now look around a bit when just standing
• For KittyCatS HUD owners: Set Home For All your cats at once!
• Perma-Pets can now be configured to only show the name, the gender or both. This setting will be reminded after an update and, for KittyCatS HUD owners, can be set through the hud as well!
• You can now turn the text of boxes on or off at once with 2 handy buttons YAY!!!!

CHANGES

• The Menagerie & breeding off confirmation dialogs now show “No” as their left button as some who are uncertain about the result, assumed to use the first button as the safer option, even though it wasn’t.
• The default sales value of cats, boxes and jewels is now preset to 1000 lindens, to avoid any accidental “10 linden sales”.
• The cats size calculation as shown in the info is now more accurate, which could mean it will report 1cm more or less. Main reason for this change are the low prim cats, which “didn’t work” with the old system.
• Hover text color of Perma-Pets & Boxes now matches those of cats.

FIXES

Boxes:

• Objects owned by the owner of the box will no longer be “able” to name a box if they “say” something while the owner is naming it.

Cats:

• Giving energy vitamins while a cat is sleeping, which would increase the energy to over 100%, will now set the energy to 100% and wake up the cat, rather then a very low energy value and continue to sleep.
• Possible fix for Perma-Pets ending up with a disproportional head for a short time (Yes, we need your help here, keep reporting the problem if it still occurs!).
• Cats will now better detect very irregular parcel borders and walk around more freely when set to parcel range.
• Possible fix for a few cases where the dad didn’t break up its partnership after mating.

HUD

• The HUD will now always load cats after a bad crash or bad teleport.
• clicking on an empty space for huds with 4 or less cats displayed will no longer give a script error message.

Jewels

• Jewels will now update their ownership faster on our website. (only for new jewels)

Make sure you have at least 30 prims available when you run the updater.

EASY AS 1,2,3 updating steps:

1. Click the “UPDATE” button in the menu of your cat and it will give you an updater.
2. Rez the Updater
3. Click the “can of Update” and watch it as it updates all your cats and boxes! The updater will give KittyCatS HUD owners a new HUD as well.

No need to move cats, re rez them, group them, travel to sandboxes, pull your hair, or anything! It’s REALLY that easy. yay!
All settings for your cat will be kept, including the group. Only if you had a cat or box for sale, you will have to put them for sale again…
