From a Pet-lover of SL Animals

[Seiichi Niosaki]

well... this topic has been talked about for a long time and Callie has voiced her reasons. I too find the price a little on the eye-brow raising side (fennux eternal crystal only costs 495L) and I always wondered, why price something so much that it discourages sales? Anyway, Callie isn't budging on the price, and I suspect its partly due to not caving into public pressure, imagine if she did, then many of you will start lobbying for shorter initial breeding period, cheaper food and the list goes on...

So what can we do? Firstly, do your math (someone posted this in group chat but I forgot who, I saved it in a notecard as it made sense): "assuming the cat is at 121 days or more: 1 bowl of food = 1 cat/56 days @ L$170, so $L1500/170=8.823bowls for that price, which would feed the cat for Approx 494 days, or about 16 calendar months, or about 70 weeks. So if you keep the cat for more than 70 weeks after permapetting, you're saving food L$. If not, you're better off feeding it"

Or do what I do, put all retired cats in an alt account's online cattery without food, you can still look at them without em hiding under pretty blankets, plus you can see their stats/age etc. until you hit some linden jackpot and can afford to perma-pet them
