One of the first times I saw KittyCatS was in a post on a blog called It's Only Fashion. This was back in April 2011. I instantly knew I had to find out about them. I bought a pair of starter kitties and found the KittyCatS community and have been hooked ever since. I remember telling my husband about them who said, "Huh. My wife is going to become a crazy cat lady." But then I gave him a kitty - a cute little Siamese Seal, and suddenly, we had hundreds. Soon after, no matter where we went in SL, we each were cuddling at least one kitty.

Oh my gosh, those very early days! Back when Bengal Snows and Rainbow Prism eyes were the most recessive traits and so elusive. Before whiskers were traits. Before we had the online pedigree (not to mention the cattery)! The stacks of paper my kitty friends and I used to keep as we tried to figure out the recessiveness of traits. It's a wonder we didn't pull all our hair out. Back when Saga was just starting to compile her list. Back before many of us realized it was OK for our kitties to live in our inventory. All the teasing we used to endure from and dish right back to Equinox. Back in the days of Sanura Snowpaw's auctions. I remember seeing Draco and Theo at them and being amazed at their kitty knowledge, and going to some of their early kitty breeding classes and learning so much! My first collections were the Lazy Daizies and the RFL Seasons of Hope, and they remain some of my all time favorites. I still sneak over to Nacht's Landing every once in awhile just to visit Sea Monster. Thanks to KittyCatS I've met some of the most wonderful, caring people and made some great friends.

So Happy Birthday, KittyCatS! I wish you so many more.
