I don't know how to get my Kitty? Help!

[Maxwell Grantly]

First of all, welcome to Second Life. I guess everything is new and confusing but please try and stick with it. It is an amazing world when you settle in.

You said you were unsure what prims were and this, I think, is going to be your first and biggest problem.

Imagine that everything you see around you in Second Life is built of Lego blocks – that is what prims are. Prims are the Lego building blocks of this virtual world. When you buy a house, you are allocated a prim allowance: that is because it takes computer power to construct these “Lego” items around you. To be able to rez a cat you need 14 spare bits of this computer “Lego” available on your land. If you have only an allocation of ten prims you simply will be unable to rez a cat. The best way around this is to delete some item of furniture (so that you can have a few more spare prims) or explore the use of the cattery. Go to the manual on this website and read up on the use of the cattery. It is an excellent way of rearing cats if you don’t have sufficient prims available at home.
