I've been dinged for not staying on topic for this thread.
I apologize for posting the suggestions about using the Cattery, making a Budget and Planning. This was, indeed, off topic.
In future, I will try to stay on topic here and limit my comments to those costs we think the company should adjust.
So, from the OP
Quote:One cost that i think especially should go, is needing to break up partnerships when one cat turns 120+. I feel that should be automatic, immediate, and free.
I would also like to see the cost of permapetting really reduced a LOT, after feeding and breeding for 4 months, i feel $1500 is prohibitive and really difficult for people who want to keep 4 or 5 cats or more.
if they can no longer breed, then perhaps we could look at something more like $200L/$500k.
I also think there could either be some other savings around, or alternatively at Xmas time perhaps some of the items could be love potions, break up potions or milk boxes of say 5.
1) I agree, partnerships should automatically end when one or both partners attain 121 days of age.
2) I disagree that there should be automatic ending of partnerships upon Menagerie. This back-doors making the early end of a partnership free.
3) I agree that the cost of permanent pets is too high, and that there should be a free permanent pet feature. I do not think it should be time-based, but, instead, should be food-cost based. I think the cost of a pet kit should slide from the current full price for boxes and newborns, to zero for those cats which have consumed the equivalent of 120 days of kibbles. No, this would not help me. Most of the few cats I own would take 200 or so days at non-breeding food level to meet this requirement.

5) Sales would be good. But remember: a sale is only a savings if its occasional. a "30% Off Sale, Everyday" isn't a sale, it's a price reduction. If they do do sales and you want more of them: be honest and just ask for a price reduction.
