Hi Callie,
Permapets will not ask you to update them, but you can anyway file a support ticket and KittyCats will send you the updater
or update them for you, so you can enjoy all the new features !
You can also pass them to a friend who will use their updater on them, or ask a friend to pass you one of their cats that
hasn't been updated yet & requires it so you can get the updater from this kitty.
