Hey all,
I talked to Callie this morning (or last night I think it was, her time
), and ended up handing her a kitten - and she wanted to unpack it quickly, which started me teasing her about the darn 30 minutes wait time every time we want to unbox a cat.
So she said "Take it to the forums" - and here I am!
I'd like to suggest that all kittens can be un-boxed in 5 minutes, just like the starter-kittens can.
I see absolutely no reason for the 30 minutes wait time, it is just plain annoying by now.
While I still stand and stare in awe when I get excited about a new meeroo and want to take it out of it's nest (Which takes TWO minutes), I have only stared excitedly at a kitten-box ONCE for the full 30 minutes.... and that was the first time.
The 30 minutes are particularly annoying when trying to un-box a PAIR of kittens - which I often do, due to some strictly planned line-breeding.
-So, I unbox 2 kittens - it takes 30 minutes. -Darn, same gender.
-Ok, pick the 3rd-best box in the line - unbox it - we are now up to an hour.
-Darn, same gender again - I start getting desperate - and take the 4th and maybe even the 5th in line (if such exists - I often "only" have 4 of a kind when I dare try unbox them) - and wait ANOTHER 30 minutes to see the gender... We are now on 1½ hour for that single pair of kittens - and yes, it has happened, several times.
I could also suggest insta-unboxing, or 1-minute-unboxing, but I like the little box jumping and turning and think it's cute and neatly done by KittyCats - so would like to keep that... Which I imagine would look silly if it only took a minute
So, 5 minutes is my suggestion - what do you all say to that?

Cut the 30 mins down to 5, purr-lease!
