I'm another one of those people who did not "get" the appeal of breedables in SL, at all. I thought they were a waste of time and money!
When KittyCats were in beta, some of my friends on Plurk were invited. They posted pics and I thought they were cute, but I was still convinced SL breedables werejust plain silly.
One day, one of my best friends in SL asked me out of blue, "Do you want a cat? It's one of those KittyCats, it's cute and really tiny, he's considered a toy size kitty." Before I could say "No, I don't!", she had already sent the cat to me. I looked at the cat in my inventory list and was just going to ignore it, but curiosity got the better of me and so I rezzed him.
I placed Toby on the floor of my skybox and stared at him. He sat there blinking for a few moments, then got up and started trotting around my furniture. Okay, I thought, that's pretty cute. Then he started pawing at the air while looking at little blue butterflies, and I thought, ooh that is really cute. I clicked on him some more and discovered that I could throw a ball and watch him scamper after it before picking it up with his mouth and bringing it back to me... omg, I was smitten!
Just a day later, I decided I also wanted a siamese cat with blue eyes. I visited a market and found one, and named her BooBoo Kitty, but while looking around I found another with pink eyes and I couldn't resist. I swore that it was just going to be the three cats but then BooBoo Kitty and Pretty Baby ended up having a kitten, and thus began my interest in the breeding aspect of KittyCats.
I never would have guessed that breeding traits into your kittens could be this enjoyable! It's kind of a like a game that always gives you super cute results. Now I totally get it! <3
This is Toby
