We've all seen (or perhaps some of us own, though this writer will not confess one way or the other *cough*) those adorable, breedable pets. Cats, dogs, meeros, goodness knows what else. And they're all so cute and cuddly when they are wee, but let's fast-forward a few months. Now your itty bitty kitty is a big fat cat, glowering at you as she ( Read more... )

THANK HEAVENS someone's come out against those damned breedables! Well, ok, not so much *against* as pointing out that they do have their downsides. And if you're in the breedables for the money - you best get in early, as well, they *BREED* which means the supply only goes UP!

Now, if someone would just hook one of these up to a fairly bright chatbot, that would be *REALLY* cool!

I mean, look at flurbils - ok, they're not *technically* a breedable, but they might as well be! And they're 24 prims each! That's almost 25% of your prim budget on a 512 m^2 plot, and doesn't count their habitat! (Or *your* habitat!)

Oh, and is there a chart somewhere of cost/wk/animal to feed these various critters?

I do wish my unicorn that wandered didn't keep escaping its pen, but well, it *is* a unicorn, after all...

I've got a KittyCatS siamese - and was determined to turn it into what's called a "Pampered Pet" as soon as possible (means no food or babies again ever). Which I did. That 'dose' of food was about $L1,600. Oi! I love him, but wow.

I find Gumi's little creatures to be a fun alternative, slightly tongue-in-cheek, and cute as heck. I was laughing so hard when I visited her shop and got run over by a chipmunk!
