So either reduce those 120 days to say 60 (which halves the productive life of a cat) or increase the time span between births, reducing the rate at which they breed.
hello jwenting.
I loved your idea of ??reducing the term of the kitten. I would not be radical to the point of diminishing to 60 days, maybe something like 90 days, you are already reducing 25% of cats produced.
The second idea would be so frustrating. OMG, wait 7 days for a cat birth, and leaving it wrong, then 14 days, 21 days, 28 days. Test of patience.
LIONS, PANTHERS, BEARS, ANYTHING NEW TO THE MENAGERIE, THE LOVE OF GOD !, THIS IS FOR YESTERDAY!
Thus, the market does not need to drink all this poison "American Summer", bitter, and having to kill 75% of all cats, to begin the cycle again on halloween.
Also support the idea of a new summer collection, between Easter and, haloween.

4) People complain until they're sick of it and give up
5) Enough people give up and delete their product that populations drop
6) Prices recover
7) Go back to step 1
Hey Tad ,
Perfect view of the market.
American Summer = Bitter remedy to market, return to normalcy. Few not quit, but those who understand this flow, going prepare, in advance, not to break halfway.
Some even say that this is just a hobby, and do not call market. omg. hahah

(like the shorty tail which is still holding its own because it is a retired trait)
Hey Dei,
Fantastic idea. All traits of 2011 and early 2012, all to retire.

Giving incentive to send them to heaven with more options other than one of 3 tigers or a better price than 20l for that cat that is going to menagerie. That is one thing that bothers me so much. We all get upset about the 100l cats but what is KittyCats promoting ...? its this..that at the end of the day your cat...if you don't pay KittyCats more for keeping it as a pet, is worth 20l . I might spend thousands of lindens to purchase a cat...even a starter is worth 200. I feed it for 120 days at least and all the milk vitamins and what not that I purchase form them to breed but at the end of the day instead of making it worth our while to menagerie cats...they put a value of 20l on a cat that is sent there. This makes people keep them rather than sending them into the great beyond. Especially since there is never anything new as an incentive to do so. They could be creating new menagerie cats every year and making them like LE's I mean come on, the tigers aren't even selling on secondary markets very well anymore. Give us options!
Explaining the Menagerie.
Market view:
When we send the cat to the Menagerie, is the same as selling the cat for $ 20L.
We need 300 cats, to get 15.000K$ to exchange for a megapuss.
Let's do some calculations:
300 cats x 20L = KC is paying for you, 6000L$.
A megapuss sold in the secondary market for 15000L$.
So you had a profit of 9000L$.
Now, if you, do the reverse calculation. 15000L$, divided by 300 cats, the menagerie you paid for 50L$ each cat.
It's a big job to do this, do not be lazy.
I'm not an accumulator boxes. I use the menagerie, conscious of the results in numbers.
I traded 4 Tigers Normal size, and about 9 megapuss Tigers, in the last 10 months.
Is a tip!
