Hi,
I've been breeding KittyCats for almost 3 years now (not as long as some!) and the main reason I got solidly into breeding was stumbling across the Nachts and Kitty Kottage and their educational KittyCats classes, which were fun and informative and then going to their auctions and feeling like part of a community. The suggestions in other posts (both in this thread and other threads) to enhance the KittyCats experience for new breeders by creating social and educational events I think have a lot of merit. Megapuss races, fishing, hunts, photo and collar contests and classes...The new coop could be a positive force for a multi-sim KittyCats experience, anytime you can get people working together and sharing ideas, its a good thing!
Breeding costs have actually dropped a bit since I started, due to the KittyCats innovations with the low 2 prim modes and then the online cattery, eliminating the need to rent land for the gazillion cats we all seem to wind up acquiring
I remember having giant platforms in the sky with 500+ prims of cats to rearrange and pair together LOL.
Dropping food costs might seem like a good idea, helping the breeders that run their cattery like a business. But for those who do this as a hobby or use outside income to play with, this could result in thoughts of "oh great now I can afford to keep more cats in my cattery", and subsequently even more cats on the grid LOL. However, if there is ever a food or permapet sale, I will be TPing to the Main Store in a heartbeat.
I vote for new menagerie cats too! I am saving my boxes ...
