Suggestion:24h 50% discount for PERMAPET! What u think? Or drop the price of PERMAPET

[Ivy Norsk]

I had to read your post several times to figure out exactly what you meant by “FOR FREE”.
I agree with you that the 1500L permapet cost is likely not part of the cost accounting for their standard operating costs. I would suspect that all the equipment, customer service, etc. is rolled into the income from food and to a lesser extent milk, since those are the backbone of the income stream. Do the post 120-day cats live in the database and cattery and SL inventories forever without us being charged? Yes. If they were to disappear from the database it would affect breeding records. They can’t have the cats expire in our SL inventories - that would be a deal-breaker. And they don’t Want the Cats to Die. And then they have to make the Cattery on par with SL inventories, or perhaps they didn’t have to, but for whatever reason, they did. They could have made a call to kick cats out after a certain age, but they didn’t.

But, KittyCats! has put a lot of checks and balances into this game. If you do not feed the cat, they disable it. It becomes sick. You have to pay, one way or another in food or potions, to get the kitty operational again.

Now let’s consider something else that you said:

“I point out there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps over a million, cats currently being held are using this free service.”

Hundreds of thousands, perhaps over a million, cats. That’s a lot of cats. I have no reason to doubt your estimation of the numbers. I do think that if that quantity of cats were permapetted out onto the grid (instead of being retired into menagerie) it might have some affect larger than a blip on the markets one way or another depending on how it was handled. Right now, sitting disabled, they are kind of a neutral force, but I kind of doubt that Kittycats! HQ hasn’t thought about them.
