Soooooo Gorgeous,

From The Wildwood Gazette

So this is one of our new Pelts, it is a Bengal, I heard from Ravina who is the proud owner of this little darling, that she knows someone who birthed a chocolate recently, but she didnt have anymore details, this cream is so beautiful, I love Bengals in real life and this little kittys is adorable.

How did she manage it, well she bred a silver tabby with a black and red tabby with a shimmer shade, wouldn't think it would make a Bengal, but then that is the fun of the game right.

The Gazette Posters

From The Wildwood Gazette

I am sure many of you are really good with Photoshop, I am still learning and sometimes it is a struggle with many clicks of the undo button.

but this set of posters for the blog came together quite easily, and because I am very pleased with the end result I thought I would share with you. The photo above is the original I took in world of a sleek tabby with folded ears.

From The Wildwood Gazette Cut the cat out and replace him onto a black background Resized it into a square from a rectangle Painted the edges with black paint and then blurred it with Gaussian Blur

From The Wildwood Gazette

• Add the font on two separate layers in white

From The Wildwood Gazette

• On a third layer I added the features and coloured them
• I took a sample of the colour and retinted the eye of the kitty
• I slightly sharpened the whole image
• and save.. taaa... daaa..!

I did'nt do any fancy footwork on these posters, all basic, but still that is the magic of Photoshop, even the faint of heart can use it and create great stuff.

Make your own Cat climber.

Even though everyone knows how to make prims, not many of us have the time and patience to fit all those prims together so carefully.

I have found the answer, I was lucky enough to meet Ravina Burnstein at a Kitty Market, like me she was just wandering around looking at everything. We got talking and she mentioned to me she had made a cat tree and then she dropped a sample of it into my inventory.

So in it's orginial state it has quite a nice texture on it

From The Wildwood Gazette

And soooo it is modify, and I thought I would play around with it and so, I purchased this super cheap suede pastel texture set from Marketplace SL, and started to modify it.(The set was under 100L)

From The Wildwood Gazette

This is me half way through and the finished cat climber is below.

From The Wildwood Gazette

Now the thing is, Ravina is just doing this as a sideline she doesn't have a shop inworld, just contact her, see if she will sell you one of her climbers.

You will be able to mod it with your logo all over.. think of the potential and the unexpected migraines you can give people.. LMAO

Cheeky Kitties Cat House

From The Wildwood Gazette

I saw this fantastic little cat house from Cheeky Kitties, it is totally made from sculpted prims and it has a wonderful cartoon feel.
All the parts come separately so you can use the pieces in any combination. Also the sign is detachable and mod so you can put your own logo on it as I have done.

It comes in several other colours, think I saw red, green and blue as well.
The set is transfer, which I like as I prefer transfer items in general.

From The Wildwood Gazette

Just on a fun note, when I trying it out , I clicked the little chair and sat in it, which was fine, until I clicked stand up and I was too tall to get out, Llew between laughing at me and making fun eventually tped me out of the prison.

Caught my Cats Mating !!!

For once, I was finally able to catch them "in the act" of mating....and it produces these lovely, cute little red hearts all around them ....thought I would share











This was the 2nd mating that took place on its own...normally I pair everyone up and miss the mating !

Wildwood Cats Notice

I was over at the Wildwood Store today and noticed the following sign:










Just a reminder to update your current kitties to 1.3; so you will be able to breed out the new varieties; or you can buy new starter kitties that are 1.3; either way.

You need to do this update by 4 February; per Wildwood !

Hello from Gazette Staffwriters.

Nerin Magic
As an experienced breeder of Amaretto horses, Nerin was very excitited to get involved with the Wildwood Breedables and actually turned me onto them, told me they were going to be *live* on the grid in the next couple of days back in December and so I bought some and I have never looked back, thanks Nerin.

From The Wildwood Gazette

I am very grateful to have Nerin on our staff, she is working very hard at gathering information and gossip for our features and well as hanging around auctions to make sure we can tell you current sales figures., and scouting the sims looking for great products for your cats.

Hi there, so now a little about me, I have been in SL, for a while, and I love blogging and I love these little kitties, I am very interested in the creative side of Second life and so enjoy doing quirky things and probably writing quirky articles for you to read.  I think Nerin and I will complement each other in the blog, I will be  Dr.McCoy... to her Mr. Spock.

Please don't hesitate to send us products to review, or to send us note card and landmarks and suggestions on fun things to see and if you would like to join us at the gazette please let us know, we would love to have guest writers, we know lots of you out there are very interested and knowledgeable when it comes to our little darlings.

From The Wildwood Gazette

We are in the middle of setting up a little office, we have our place, just haven't decorated it yet, but you can come there and drop off note cards and hopefully we will have some freebies and stuff you can collect when you visit, we will also have a little studio  so we can take photos of you and your kitties for our features.
