The future of KittyCats (or lack of?)
So this all started for me a few months ago, got TPed to a cat auction and bought a few cats and didnt know why or what to do with them. It quickly dawned on me that I needed land and food for them. No worries I got all that and started my career as a virtual cat breeder.
Back then, which isnt really far back, cats would sell, atleast it looked like that for my untrainted eyed. I loved going to the auctions, people bidding left and right for cats that were even mediocre. But I get it, breeders hadnt gotten too far when it came to creating a perfect cat, I remember buying a 6 traited cat back then for 6500 and at prices like that. It all seemed nice and fair and it was a happy bunch of cat people I got to know.
As time went by the 7 traiters got born, whisker traits were introduced, among other things. Prices started to drop and what seemed to be a big influx of really nicely traited cats, in most categories. Selling the same or similar 6 traited cat today that i bought for 6500 is 500-1000 in an auction/bid board setting.
So today, you make your 9T cats and sell them for 5-10k, or you make other highly traited cats with special furs, eyes and what not and can get a few k for them.
And we had the new starters, new furs, new eyes, new whiskers etc. Okey these cats are desirable by some but its not like you make a ton of money in having them unless you really create some special trait combos on them.
Anyways, where Im going with this? What will KittyCats be like in 2 or 3 months from now? An abundance of plain 9 traiters? Desirable furs and eyes and even combinations of them will have 7+ traits. Then what?
I have 100 cats now, give or take a few, almost all of them are good or excellent cats, if I may say so myself, but is there any point in having them? I guess I pay around 35 000L a month, feeding them, tier, shop rent and so forth (this is not even counting the drugs, but they are optional so thats a non issue.). Of course having cats at all is optional too, but I guess that's what I'm going with this tread.
This is my first breedable, apart from bunnies i had with my partner a long time ago. But what happend to the bunnies, and then horses? Market collapsed completly as far as i know and I honestly dont feel that KittyCats are far away from that same faith, without some kind of change/improvement to the product.
I would like to hear from both KittyCats team and from the community where you think the cats will be at in 2-3-4 months, because the way I see it, it's not going to be pretty.
These are just my observations regarding this subject, I would love to hear yours, because i need to rebuild some faith in me that its worth having the cats.
