Kittycats also needs to continue to make enough of a profit that they continue to upgrade programming, animations, new breeds, support tickets, etc or they will disappear as other breedables have. Their primary income comes from food, milk and vitamins from what I can see because if people get into kittycats, their purchases of kitties is probably going to be 80% or more within the secondary markets (auctions, bidboards, stores, private transactons). So discounts in food, milk and vitamins are probably limited by those needs because we don't know how much support staff there is in the background and how many are being paid in RL money.
Anyway that's my 2 cents (or 2 quarters)
I agree very much with this one

A free permapet makes no sense to me either the pet has value after alll and eventually even market value such as with specials or other cute kitties.
It makes sure no devaluation of KittyCatS in general, breedable or not, will happen.
A free permapet I can only see as a possibility when it makes the cat no transfer and not able to update with new features.
Basically as the Firestorm kitty is.
The Birthday kitties for example are no transfer they can be made transfer by making them a permapet which gives them market value for future KittyCatS! customers who like to obtain it.
As for lower priced food and milk, and as much as I want that, I believe it should not become very cheap because that would damage the market value of a KittyCatS! because people can sell their kitties for less which is in the long run not a good idea for the value of the kitties I think.
So if people are motivated to keep the value of their kitties stronger because their earnings go partial to food and milk I believe this is good for the future of KittyCatS! as a marketable product.
