Updating your Kitties to 1.3

From The Wildwood Gazette

Mandatory Update ..

Just to let you know I updated my cats,yesterday and it appeared to be very straightforward. I do not have any pregnant cats in my colony right now. Basically I rezzed up the Updater and let it get on with it, It basically looked for the cats one by one, popped a box ontop of them for a few seconds and then the box disappeared and the update was complete. We now have another section to our stats, *Body* interesting to see what this new feature will bring to our cats.

•  Cadburys Shine Gender: Female
  
  • Pelt: Bicolor - Chocolate
  • Eye: Slit - Canary
  • Ears: Common
  • Tail: Common
  • Shade: Sleek
  • Body: Common

From The Wildwood Gazette

I cut and pasted the notecard which came with the updater, just in case

**Make sure you are in the right group for your cats when you use the updater!
If you are on a land that requires a certain group in order to rez objects, please be sure to set yourself to that group when updating your cats!

 
**If the cat mysteriously goes "Unhealthy" at 1% Nourishment, simply RE REZ the cat!
For some unknown reason your cat randomly decides to go unhealthy during the update, please simply pick up and re-rez the cat! If you are having SL Lag/Rez issues, do not do it until it clears up or you may end up losing your cat due to it!

 
**Pregnant cats do NOT update!
You will have to wait for your cat to give birth in order to update your cat! Do not try to force it to update!

 
**Do not force sick cats to update!
If they are sick, you will need to heal them first before updating! If you do not, they will in turn break and we will not be obligated to repair them! The updater is not a tool for curing/healing/restoring sick cats!

 
**Service on 1.2 cats will end on the 4th of February! This way there is a week for people to get ahold of the updater and update their cats! 

The Pirate

Cool Displays

From The Wildwood Gazette

One of the most fun things about the Sims selling breedables are the cute displays that people make to home their cats.

 I saw this one at Z Couture, totally loved the whole pirate theme, I played around with the wind light settings until I thought I found one that fit with the theme, it was called Pirate which I thought was apt. This particular display was created by Neo (neo.lancrae) and I think his store is called Neo Demonia Cat.


I have noted the slurl for you in case you would like to take a look.

If you happen to have a cool display or  have seen one recently, please do let me know, I would love to come and take a look.

Flittens

From The Wildwood Gazette

In Second Life.....

I was wandering around Z Couture looking at the cats and their displays, when I came across this wonderful little Pointed with purple wings and a fluffy tail. I just stood there and stared at it. The wings are scripted and opened and closed slowly as I watched. It was so adorable. The person with this supercutsey idea is Lunasea Broome, The Kitty was priced at 1000L lindens, but I don't know if she will throw in the wings with it, because of course it is not a trait, but an attachment, but hey, it might get added into the gene pool we never know.. wouldn't it be fun though.

In Real Life....

The Flittens of Mewingham Manor, by Laura Von Stetina

A few years ago, I found these beautiful little ornaments, which were basically little kittens in a variety of poses but all with wings. I think the series had about 25 models in total, I have a lot of them, but unfortunately not all., I was a big buyer on Ebay for a while collecting these kittens.I have the one pictured below.

From The Wildwood Gazette

It's such a great idea, I am going to go home and stick wings on all my kitties :)

Ear Ears Ears

Hot News, Inbred Ears

Meet Lugsy

From The Wildwood Gazette

From The Wildwood Gazette

So, in the forums and in  group chat inworld there has been a lot of talk about Inbred ears and if they pass down or if if they don't.

I have the final word here from Zilar Deluxe, from a chat inworld, yesterday.

Quote, Unquote,

Zilar Deluxe: While not all inbred cats will show up as inbred traits, they are not passable to the next cat and are in fact at random. The only way the inbred traits show up is if you breed Mother/Son, Father/Daughter, Sister/Brother. You can get ear combinations only at this time, but are worth trying for if you want a very special looking cat and worth collecting in the least. We plan to add more things in the future for this.

Zilar Deluxe: The new ears are not available until we release our update. Cats were mistakenly getting these random traits by pure mistake and will not show up properly.

Thanks to Zilar for clarifying this point, we appreciate it.

I also want to thank, ĴєѕѕÎє Stєрtοє (jessie.dannitza), for helping me out with her wonderful kitty Lugsy, who is pictured in our shots for this article. I am sure you agree with me when I say, Lugsy is one in a millon and absolutely adorable.

The Wildwood Forest Sim, Home to The Wildwood Breedables

I thought I would take you a little tour of the Wildwood Forest Sim, home to the Wildwood Breedables,

Firstly,there is a central landing point, shown below.

From The Wildwood Gazette

One of the cute features of the path is that each stepping stone lights up as you walk on it and then darkens when you pass by. You will reach a fork in the road, if you turn to your right and continue down the path you will reach the main store for the company. This building sells your starter kitty packs, as well as food, and other edibles, and most importantly the sick kitty pack, just in case something goes wrong with your little darling.Oh I almost forgot, the two boxes at the front of the store are Gifties, one is a pose stand you can use with your cat and the another is a teaser style cat toy.

From The Wildwood Gazette

From The Wildwood Gazette

Once you have finished in the store, you can follow the path back along the way you came and you will come to a little bridge and then to another fork, to your left is a large building called the Cat Sancuatery, it is empty at the moment, not sure what is happening with it. and on your left, after another short walk or fly, is the little marketplace, which has goods and lots of cute stuff for your kitties.

From The Wildwood Gazette

Now there is a secret place, which doesn't really have a path going to it, but it is definitely worth visiting. It is in the far right at the back  of the Sim, it is a gorgeous set of cat statues in ever increasing size around a a small river. I think if  you walk through the market stalls, and turn left a little there is a small bridge which will bring you to the statues.

I really suggest you go and look around if you haven't done so already, the Sim is really quite lovely.

~~*GIFT*~~ Sculpty Cat Tree

Cheeky Kitten Magical Pet Market

From The Wildwood Gazette

Last time I attended an auction at Cheeky Kitties one of the incentives they had was this supercutsey cat tree. The Auction house was randomly giving out gifts to the audience. I scored this gorgeous cat tree, up close the textures are really good, it really looks like suede, a fabric I am most fond off and I really like the sculpty effect, the rounded edges and the almost cartoon feel to it, I think it is a great prop for photographing your little darlings.


So I did actually come across Phedre's shop on the Wildwood Forest Sim, in the market stalls section, so this cute set comes in , Red,Purple,Blue and Pink cushions all on green stalks, It is weighing in at 11prims and will cost you 75lindens, permissions are mod and transfer, no copy.

Product Review

From The Wildwood Gazette

We all need extra things for our Kitties to be comfortable and I found this adorable Bunny basket inworld, It has been designed by Nova Eternal  The basket is quite large and stands almost to my shoulder, as I remember it comes in powder blue and soft purple for the cushion colours, and the textures are really super. it is plain and simple not scripted and it doesn't have poses loaded into it, but as our kitties do have their own animations inbuilt, I feel this is a mute point. I felt the price was very reasonable at around 150L, the prim count on this basket is 13 which is okay as long as you don't want lots of them.
