How do you find your kitty?

[Ivy Norsk]

I mostly have notices turned off. I get disgusted at the spammer bots.
I do browse the forums here intermittently, but am struggling to think of when that actually led to me purchasing a cat. I suspect that the forums work best to get the word out that one has a particularly distinguished collectible.
I never do gachas; I get enough random cats through the LE babies.

I do attend auctions, and buy cats through auctions. I have sold cats at auction in the past, but over time have found my own computer less able to cope with laggy situations which has made my auction attendance unreliable, which makes me hesitant to promise that I can be at a given auction at a given time. I know that auctioneers love to decorate their sites, but I wish that more attention was paid to keeping lagging scripts and other extraneous factors to a minimum at the sites.

And... once a month or so, I get an itch to walk around the sims and love tables. There are always cute cats to be found. I have found my own sales do best on smallish sims that make walking about easy.

I also have a stand-alone skybox shop, but I will say that I get almost zero sales there. People seem to want to go to where there are more cats. Still, it's not such a bad thing (and very low lag) to go shop-hopping down the landmarks of the KittyCatS directory stand alone shops. I've been down the list, and return periodically to 2 or 3 of my favorite stand alone shops.

It's a lot of work but I do wish there were a cooperative database where people could input their cats and people could search for traits (or possibly even hiddens). I know that's a huge undertaking and at least one person has tried and failed to do it. But the person who can do it will be doing something key for the community to put buyer and seller together.
