Second Life - Virtual Pets

Have you ever been tempted to get a pet in Second Life, but were discouraged by the cost? Or perhaps by the amount of care most of them require? The solution is here, brought to us by Firestorm and KittyCatS both - the Firestorm Anniversary KittyCat.

KittyCatS are breedable cats that normally require food and interaction. However, the Firestorm Anniversary Cat is a Perma Pet. This means it does not require food or interaction, and it doesn't breed. In fact, you can keep it in your inventory and only bring it out when you want. It will never get sick from lack of food, and still retains all of the interactivity of a KittyCat.

You can cuddle it, take it for a walk, play with it, your friends can even pet it. You get all the benefits without any of the expense or time commitment. It is the perfect virtual pet.

So what's the catch, you're probably wondering. It is a limited time offer that has already been extended past it's original deadline. That means if you want one of these adorable kitties, you should go get it as soon as possible, before it is gone forever.

Where do you get it, you ask? At the KittyCatS! Main Store. When you land, turn right around and enter the store and you will see the poster for the Firestorm KittyCat in front of you, in the middle of the store.

Take care when you unpack this gift though. You want to rez the item you get from the poster, it will look like a black and orange cake. Open it and copy the contents to your inventory. From the new folder, you rez the object called KittyCatS - Firestorm/FireKitty (or something like that, I can't remember), but DO NOT OPEN IT. This is very important. If you open it or touch the contents of that object at all, you will break it, and this is a gift that is limited to one per person.

Rez the object and left-click it to get a menu. In the menu is a button labeled Unpack. Choose that button. Once you press the button you will see some text appear above the box, telling you how long until your kitty is born. Wait until the time is up and the box will magically transform into a cute little Firestorm kitten.

Enjoy your Second Life (with your very own pet)!
