To Permapet or not to Perma pet.

It's pretty rude to join a community for like a week or two and then start making angry demands. I mean, many of us have been here for months and are having perfectly civilized discussion that the makers of KittyCats are listening to. They don't have to but they are because this is a great community.

If we start treating them like crap then why should they do things that we want? I sure wouldn't.

There have been a lot of people trying to help you out getting started but angry rants and threats (like burning the KC store) really make it hard to take you seriously. And when you follow up those threats with a demand that the KC people make something free because you say so, it doesn't really lead to discussion. I believe that's called flaming.

Let's treat everyone with respect so we can work together to make KC the best breedable it can be - both for the creators and the customers.

And on the one point I extracted from the post/rant/flame, free perma-pets do hurt the market because if we have one Black Russian with Passion (Mysterious | Small) eyes and Mysterious tail and ears, there's really no point in breeding another vamp kitty at all - we've beat that game. If we can keep EVERY kitty we breed, then over time we will already own everything. There has to be some way to weed out some of those extra kitties that would be sitting in people's inventories.

The idea behind breedable pets is NOT to make money, although it's theoretically possible. It's so that we can have unique and customized pets in SL that we can interact with and form a bond with over time.

I do believe the Perma-Pet kits should be cheaper, but I see where KC was coming from and trust them to evolve the company over time. I won't attack them, even if I have to menagerie kitties I really am emotionally attached to.

Let's all play nice or we may as well be breeding *coughcough*s. Other breedable communities aren't all as friendly. Let's keep KC a nice place to be.

Thank you Kyorisa for keeping the KittyCats forum a positive place to discuss our thoughts, feelings and observations. Everyone on the team appreciates discussion and really does read all the comments made and have taken them into consideration. Thank you to everyone who has continued to show respect and kindness to fellow members and the KittyCats breedable as a whole. We really do appreciate it. :-)
