i'll second what tabby says, while adding, we like to hear what you have to say, even if it's written in anger... we do care what people have to say, even if it's delivered in a way that isn't "perfect". (although of course it's easier to hear at times when written very nice)
we as a company, understand that when people are upset or angry they may not say things as they'd hope if they had time to express it when not angry, and it won't keep us from listening.
i don't discount a post or IM even if it's given "disrespectfully" (of if i perceive it that way) i remember once my mentor telling me, "Listen closely to those who are angry or your enemies, for often they will be more truthful to you as they don't feel they have anything to lose and you can often find "truths" in their message, if you sift out the angry parts.
it's hard to do at times LOL, but i've found in my life it to be true.
so to sum it up, thanks for sharing your input on this subject. each of you who have shared. we appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts on this subject.

It's pretty rude to join a community for like a week or two and then start making angry demands. I mean, many of us have been here for months and are having perfectly civilized discussion that the makers of KittyCats are listening to. They don't have to but they are because this is a great community.
If we start treating them like crap then why should they do things that we want? I sure wouldn't.
There have been a lot of people trying to help you out getting started but angry rants and threats (like burning the KC store) really make it hard to take you seriously. And when you follow up those threats with a demand that the KC people make something free because you say so, it doesn't really lead to discussion. I believe that's called flaming.
Let's treat everyone with respect so we can work together to make KC the best breedable it can be - both for the creators and the customers.
And on the one point I extracted from the post/rant/flame, free perma-pets do hurt the market because if we have one Black Russian with Passion (Mysterious | Small) eyes and Mysterious tail and ears, there's really no point in breeding another vamp kitty at all - we've beat that game. If we can keep EVERY kitty we breed, then over time we will already own everything. There has to be some way to weed out some of those extra kitties that would be sitting in people's inventories.
The idea behind breedable pets is NOT to make money, although it's theoretically possible. It's so that we can have unique and customized pets in SL that we can interact with and form a bond with over time.
I do believe the Perma-Pet kits should be cheaper, but I see where KC was coming from and trust them to evolve the company over time. I won't attack them, even if I have to menagerie kitties I really am emotionally attached to.
Let's all play nice or we may as well be breeding *coughcough*s. Other breedable communities aren't all as friendly. Let's keep KC a nice place to be.
thank you for your post
i just want to say, for me personally my goal is to treat others how i want to be treated, i fail a lot, but it's what i aspire to. even if someone is rude, (or i perceive it that way) it won't stop me from doing what i think is right
(well except when i react and am rude back
)
we understand our pets can get "hiccups" and there are things we will do that some wont like. some will not say a thing, some will tell us kindly, some will just shout, some will not care "how" they tell us. we know that.
we do what we do because we love KittyCatS and we will continue to strive to do the very best no matter what
sure, respect is appreciated, but i think we understand every one is human, we don't know what everyone is going thru or their experiences and when upset, it's often hard to communicate "Nicely". we know that often it really isn't about "us" per se, (if that makes sense)
we try to understand that, and walk that fine line of being "understanding" while not letting certain things disrupt one of the most important things... the whole community
thanks for the kind post and your support
To Permapet or not to Perma pet.
