I wholeheartedly agree with Kayla, some of the friendships I have made through Kittycats! are the closest and deepest I have had in SL and totally transcend Kittycats!
This is an awesome community, long may it propser.

A friend of mine had to move in RL and due to not being able to get online regularly to feed her kitties, gave up her live cats. So I volunteered to get them adopted out. She had over 40 cats that had to be adopted out and they were all sick (5 days to recovery). I was worried but the first person I asked adopted 3 cats, the famous Corporal Cosmic with his starship sickbay that he nurses cats to health in. He told a couple people. One person, Charles, adopted the majority because I mentioned that since they were older people might menagerie them once they hit 120 days. He took genesis fur ones to save them from the menagerie. He wanted to find people who would adopt the kitties and promise not to menagerie them. The teacup genesis one, he already had in mind for a child avi. The other lady took 3 kitties (our secret, lol). and my friend Jhanelle adopted 3 kitties. I adopted 6. I was surprised at how quickly it happened, within four hours of my reaching out, all the kitties had homes. I know the kittycats are not real, but it is still heartwarming how quickly people stepped up to help get them adopted even though they were sick and a lot of them were over 80 days old.
I know there are fights, arguments, grudges, misunderstandings. It is difficult in such a huge community for everything to be perfect. Especially since we don't all speak the same language. some people rely on the translator and the translator works ok but it makes mistakes. We have different cultural mores even when we live in the same country -- on this international scale the difference in cultural more is multiplied. Something that is ok to say in one culture is a massive insult in another. Still it's the first community in SL that I have made friends in that is deeper than just the SL event we are doing like a hunt (most of my SL acquaintances before this were activity oriented) and I am having a great time (mostly -- a few snags here and there but that is to be expected--mostly due to the fact that I am broke in RL, had to quit my RL job due to family circumstances and really would love to have more kitties but can't, sighs, which means for now, going to auctions lately has been window shopping). Sorry I have a little virgo in me so can't say a compliment without balancing it -- every yin has a little yang. Still I can say 100%, no holds barred, I feel very lucky to be part of the Kittycats community.
