The KittyCatS! sim features more than just our main store. There’s gardens, picnic tables, boats to lounge in, and many places to sit and relax. And we’re super excited about our newest addition to the sim – The Dock @KittyCatS!

Built by Barnesworth Anubis, one of Second Life’s most prolific builders, and designed and decorated by Barnes and our very own Callie Cline, The Dock @KittyCatS! is intended to be a place of fun and relaxation for all! The Dock is home to our Neo Realms Fishing location where you can fish for fun or participate in one of our KittyCatS! Fishing Tournaments, run by our own Equinox Pinion!

Callie’s eye for aesthetics and beauty is well-known in Second Life, and especially so at KittyCatS! It’s the little details that make The Dock such a fun place to be – soft lighting, swimming turtles, floating lilies.

Our KittyCatS! especially love The Dock, and you can be sure to see several of them lounging about, enjoying the sea breeze. I wonder what they’re looking at?

So we invite you and your KittyCats to come relax with us at The Dock, and enjoy the atmosphere. See you there! :)

Teleport to The Dock @KittyCatS!

**************
KittyCatS! Update V1.08
**************

Hello KittyCatS! Owners!

Happy Summer again! Another update??? Oh why oh why??? Well… because we had a few little things we wanted to share with you! Some surprises some you will find out now and some later… also we got rid of a few little fleas :).

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)

Alrighty then… here are the highlights, additions, changes and fixes included in this update.

* HIGHLIGHTS *

* Introducing: Fancy CatS! & KittyCatS! Jewels

KittyCatS! proudly introduces KittyCatS! Jewels & Fancy CatS!. At very random times, your cats will gift you with a rare gemstone… (you will have to wait and see what they are) when you get them you can collect them and when you get the amount needed they will give you a Fancy Cat! Our Fancies will be very special cats that will range from variations on different breed colors ONLY available thru being a “Fancy”! Also… the KittyCatS! Jewels can be traded or sold for those of you who have more than you need. We hope this is fun for you!

* Introducing: Whiskers Whiskers Whiskers!

We’re really excited about adding the new whisker traits! It’s been something we’ve wanted to do for quite some time!
As of now the “default” whiskers are called Silver for color and “Guitar” Shape. Funny shape name huh?
As a little bonus we added a different hidden trait in the update (the same for all) which basically means YOUR CATS CAN HAVE OFFSPRING WITH A DIFFERENT SHAPED/COLORED WHISKER as SOON as you breed them! You won’t have to wait for your new babies to grow for this trait to show up! Even more new Whiskers to discover can be found in the new starters! Enjoy!

* ADDITIONS *

* Fully configurable On/Off floating text settings for your boxes! Including all traits, box name and size.
Time to give a more focused and pleasant oversight in your stores!
* Left Shoulder and Cuddle attachment positions are now restored when manually adjusted, reset on owner change, kept on update. So no more readjusting :)
* For KittyCatS HUD owners: HUD display increased from 240 to 275 KittyCatS!

* CHANGES *

* KittyCatS will not walk for 4 minutes after been sent home or teleported to you with the KittyCatS HUD.

* FIXES *

Boxes:
* Identical twins will no longer show as non identical after an update, for boxes born after this update.
* Box rotation will now be kept after an update… Yes, less work for you 😉

Cats:
* Cats will not listen anymore for a new name, partner or range if other buttons got pressed meanwhile in the menu.
(also fixes the problem where a cat for which a partner attempt was initiated , but not finished yet, messed up the partnering that was set from an other cat in the meantime).
* possible fix for some cats ending up with a disproportional head for a short time (Yes, we need your help here, keep reporting the problem if it still occurs!)
* “I love you, avi_name” will now only say the first name.
* Cats which have ” Walk & Run” and “Sit & Lay ” disabled will no longer do funny moves with their head… Oops!

HUD
* Perma-Pets will now also sort on gender.
* Cats will now also sort properly on sleeping when their name contains a symbol.
* Slider texture will now display correct with 50+ cats.
* HUD counter will now show 1-5 instead of 0-5 when 5 or less cats present.
* HUD will show the tool icons when exact 5 KittyCatS are found.

* Coming Soon! *

* Next week : update of the pedigree site to reflect whiskers as well as an overview of your Jewels & some minor adjustments

Also next week… “Scratch and sniff???” NOOOOO it’s SL we can’t smell, how about… Scratch & Climb???
You will find a new fun way to watch your KittyCatS scamper about and well… you will have to wait and see it :)
So be looking for that next week in the store! Your KittyCatS can’t wait to show off for you 😛

So…… That sums up this update! Again, thank you for your continued support, feedback and enthusiasm!
You’re the BEST!

**************
HOW TO UPDATE
**************

In the coming 24 hours your cats will start to show an “UPDATE ME” tag.
As soon as they do, the UPDATE button will be available in your cats menu to obtain an updater.
As of that point, you have 2 weeks to update your cats.
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…

 New Products, News  No Responses »
Jul 102011
 

We’ve been paying attention to your feedback and heard your cries of help and we’re pleased to announce two new products now available in our store – Happy Vitamins and Love Drops!

Happy Vitamins are a one-time use vitamin that provides a temporary boost to your cats Happiness for a period of 5 hours! Happiness Vitamins come in both 5% and 10% versions and are available in the Vitamin section in the back of the main store.

Love Drops are a one-time use item that instantly boosts your cat’s Love by 1%. That’s right – no more agonizing over that last 1%! Love Drops can only be used on cats at 99% Love, even if the cat is already on a Love Vitamin cooldown (using a Love Drop will trigger a Love Vitamin cooldown however!) Love Drops come in Singles, 5 Packs and 10 Packs and are also available in the Vitamins section of our main store.


We hope you enjoy using these new products as much as we enjoyed making them! :)

**UPDATE** Pedigree Site & Account Login Changes

 News, Updates  1 Response »
Jun 122011
 

Our new Pedigree site is almost ready for release, so in preparation for that we’re making some changes to the way our customers log in to the forums and the support site.

We’re going to integrate all logins to one username and password. This will be used to login to a portal from which you can access the forums, support site, and pedigree site. Your new login will be your SL name.

Prior to this integration we’re giving customers a chance to keep their current forums settings by ensuring that you are registered on the forums under your SL name. Additionally, if you want your support account history to merge into the new login, please make sure you are using the same email for the new registration as you used for the support site.

If you are not registered on the forums or support system under your SL name, and you need to have it changed, you need to let us know by Tuesday, June 15 either via the support system, a reply to this thread, or a message to Equinox Pinion inworld. If you need to change your forums account name to your SL name, be sure to specifiy what your actual SL avatar name is, the email address you used to register, as well as your current forums and support account names.

After Tuesday, June 15 we’ll begin integration of the new system by sending out a prim to everyone to click to register their avatar key/SL name with the new registration system. More information on that will follow at that time.

If you are not registered for either the forums or the support site, a means of registering under the new system will be provided with our next update.

We’re really excited about these changes and hope you are too! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! :)

The KittyCatS Team
