The first time I ever saw a KittyCat was the Soft Exposure 88 pair at Collabor88. I thought they were really cute and I got the info notecard and thought, "wow this is something that could really suck a person in." And I didn't buy them. (How many times have I kicked myself for that, I don't know. I got the plum one later.) But I wasn't wrong about the sucking-a-person-in part.
The first cat I got was the Firestorm 2013, and from then I was an enthusiastic breeder. KittyCats is such a great hobby because the cats can be so many things to so many people. They are beautiful and charmingly animated and make endearing pets for people. They exercise our brain cells with their genetics puzzles. They create communities of activity with auctions, markets, social gatherings like parties and fishing. The Addicts group chat is a warm place to hang out and I am there with my coffee nearly every day. I have loved building for Cat Shows and seeing the displays that others have made. And heaven knows I have bought a lot of wonderful cats from so many of my fellow breeders. So many people each pitch in to manifest the nearly infinite variety of possible cats that we enjoy putting together from the options given to us.

Thank you Callie and KittyCats for providing this vibrant hobby for us. I think without it, I probably would have left SL by now. But as it is, KittyCats makes the SL grid a better place. Thank you for a great 10 years and I wish you many more.
