They release whatever they want, if you decide you want them, get them. If you cannot afford to dump IRL money into them, then get the cats you want later, when you sell off your cats. If you want to get them early, then spend your IRL money, get them, and sell them later. If you aren't trying to make money, then you shouldn't be worried about not being able to afford 50 new holiday babies. The sad part is, you could spend 50k lindens buying holiday cats, then sell them back for 100 lindens more, make a profit, do it again next special release, or convert your money back into IRL money.

I think its silly to complain that you cannot afford to buy ALLLLL the cats they release. What would be the point of having different cats, if everyone single person had access to every single cat? Some people only buy 1 or 2 special cats and are happy with that.

I see a lot of negativity from some breeders about people spending their IRL money on kittycats, and you have people like the OP saying they refuse to do it, and should be rewarded for not doing it. What? You get what you put into things. If you're not willing to spend real life money, then you obviously don't want what you're asking for badly enough.

Now, about people saying that this hurts the community? What hurts the community is people bringing the lowest tier 9t cats and expecting people to buy them for extreme amounts. I'm sorry, but 9t doesn't really mean as much as it used to. I don't really like going to auctions anymore because I see the most boring cats. Again, not trying to offend anyone, but 1 year old furs aren't going to sell for more than 100-300 lindens generally, and 9t cats with curious everything isn't going to sell for much (TYPICALLY) either. Anyone now a days can buy 2 cats at auction, mash them together, and get a 9t cat. However, these days it matters more what the traits are. I'm not trying to insult anyone's hard work, but you need to get with the current state of the market if you're trying to do anything more than breed what YOU want. If you're complaining that you don't have money to buy things, maybe you should try actually making a line of cats that will sell, or invest in some higher priced cats, breed them out, and make a profit. Again, if you're just here to have fun, great, don't complain then, that you have no money, that isn't anyone's fault but your own.

TL;DR:
1. Special release cats aren't designed for everyone to be able to afford, don't try to if you cannot. This is not Pokémon, you do not need to catch'em all.
2. Step-up your KittyCatS skillz, invest or breed better cats, get money, ????, profit!

Care to tell me exactly where you read that I wasn't putting RL money into cats? I made an observation and asked if others agreed or disagreed. I didn't ask for insults or outright misrepresentations of what I posted.
