KittyCatS is proud to be a sponsor of One Billion Rising in Second Life!

ONE BILLION RISING began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On February 14, 2013, men and women in Second Life will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and people across the world to Walk, Dance, and Rise as a show of unity, individual strength, and the need for change.

Hello friends! It’s time for our Monthly “Mewsletter” again, wrapping up all of the news from the previous month!

UPDATES

January marked the arrival of our much-anticipated Update 1.29! We’re especially proud of this update since it featured some really amazing changes that we’ve had planned for a long time! Update 1.29 introduced 3 new sizes for our KittyCatS – Petite, Bigger de Big, and MegaPuss! And as a special feature, the MegaPuss kitty is a ridable cat! Yes that’s right! You can ride your kitties around, and even have a friend join you! Update 1.29 also brought about several changes to our Pedigree page, and saw the introduction of a new product, the Magic Menagerie Bottle!

NEW RELEASES

As mentioned, January saw the release of the Magic Menagerie Bottle! This new product allows for immediate retrieval of cats sent to the menagerie by accident or if you have second thoughts. The window for getting a cat back will be ONE WEEK from when it was sent. You can read more about the Magic Menagerie Bottle in our update notes here!

We also released another cat in our series of Patriotic Statues! You can pick up the Australia cat at our main store, along with the other Patriotic cats! :)

NEW DISCOVERIES

Lots of new discoveries in January! Congratulations goes out to Jolita Korobase for discovering the Fussy whisker shape, Inia Soulstar for discovering the Latte whisker color, Neckcadaver Resident for discovering the Fancie Dusky Diamond eye color, and Temptation Beaumont for discovering the “Main” Coon Plush Calico fur. Congratulations all!

KITTYCATS OF THE MONTH – January

Unfortunately no one got the KittyCatS of the Month for January, though many came really close! Remember if you breed a KittyCatS of the month, you not only win a jewel, but you also get your KittyCat of the Month turned into a big cat! The race to get the KittyCat of the Month for February is under way – will YOU be this month’s winner? :)

Hello friends! We thought it would be fun to do a weekly wrap-up of events and activities that have occured in KittycatS over the past month. So every month we’ll be posting a new edition of our monthly “Mewsletter” to recap what’s been going on with KittyCatS over the current month! :)

NEW RELEASES

July was a great month for releasing new products! We kicked the month off with the release of our KittyCatS Optics line and quickly followed that up with the release of some new summer T-shirts for your KittyCatS to have more ways to strut their style!

July also sawthe release of our first Patriotic KittyCatS decor statue, celebrating the Fourth of July.

We followed up by releasing the French, Belgium and Swiss Patriotic KittyCat decor statues.

Finally we wrapped up the month of July with a special treat for KittyCatS customers. To hep celebrate teamwork and the spirit of sportsmanship, your KittyCatS had a chance to birth a special collectible “Team KittyCat” from July 29 through August 1st. These special KittyCatS came in 3 different styles and were limited to one per avatar. Which team were you on? :)

UPDATE

July also saw the release of Update 1.23, which quickly turned into Update 1.24 to correct certain issues that popped up courtesy of SL wonkiness. This latest update had us really excited since it introduced two new Display modes for live cats – Image mode and 2D mode – and more importantly, allowed us to introduce “Peek a Box”, a new state for boxes that allows the gender to be displayed on the box, while still showing the wonderful aesthetics of your KittyCatS! Needless to say this was a feature that us all pretty jazzed, and it’s been great to see how the KittyCatS community has incorporated the new box displays into their market set-ups. :)

We followed up our Update with an update to our Online Cattery. Not only can you see your genders directly on your newborn kitten boxes, but you can also see them in your Cattery once you enable the feature under your account settings! :)

SPECIAL EVENTS

July was also a month for KittyCatS and special events! We continued our participation with Second Life Relay For Life with an RFL Kick-Off Party on July 12 at the KittyCatS main sim.

From 9:00am to 9:00pm SLT, the KittyCatS main sim was open for dancing, prizes, music, and lots of fun! We were thrilled to see so many of our KittyCatS friends there having a great time and helping to celebrate Relay For Life!

Relay for Life wasn’t the only charitable event that KittyCatS participated in during the month of July. KittyCatS was also proud to take part in this year’s Hair Fair by supporting “Wigs For Kids”. We created 5 bandannas that were sold with all proceeds going to support this great charity that provides free wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer or any other disease.
