3 kits!

[Swishy & Broken]

The sun was shining, giving way to beautiful blossoming flowers that sparkled with morning dew. It was warm and the air felt as if it had a soft song riding the gentle breeze. You look around, basking in the glory, trying to take in every moment of perfection.

A cat appears, followed by a few others. You recognize some of the cats from encounters in the past. It's Fennel, looking as charming as always. Hana stands with a toy mouse hanging from her mouth, looking more downtrodden than her usual trickster self. Mousespeck, with a glimmer in her eyes, looked to be the only cat excited. Behind the three were Snow, Furzetuft, and an orange tom who stood without a word.
As they stand there, you get the feeling they have something important to say.
They look among themselves and part the group so that two cats are placed directly in front of you...

Fennel and the orange tabby.
The cinnamon tabby speaks. "Mousespeck says there are some new herbs that StarClan showed her in a dream. They say they have power to both heal a cat or bring them immeasurable pain depending on the use. My friend and I offered to go find them to bring back to your Clan. We hope to return, but Mousespeck has said that the path ahead is riddled with danger." You see the orange tabby swallow hard. Mousespeck steps forward.
"But it's a sacrifice they are willing to make if it means helping your cats." She sends a stern look to the orange cat who looks away, obviously not willing to counter her. It makes you wonder if it really was their choice to go on the journey. Fennel, on the other paw, was stepping from side to side with excitement, clearly not worried. No doubt their handsome self would be able to get out of any situation with a smolder.
You stand speechless as the others give them licks on the head or cheek rubs in goodbye. Hana even drops her toy mouse to give to Fennel as a gift of their friendship. Nearly every cat had a frown on their face and drooping tails. The warm sunlight from earlier disappeared to be replaced with a humidity that made it hard to breath and your heart ache.

Finally, Fennel and the other cat are by your side. "I guess this is goodbye. I hope you and the others will be proud of us. We won't forget you all," Fennel meows. With a friendly blink of their eyes, they turn and walk into the distance. No cats moved or dared to speak until they were well beyond sight.

As the 2021 year has come to an end, so too must the journey of a few of our beloved friends. Earlier this year the community participated in a survey to see which of our nursery npc's (Forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=4251227) would be retiring from the lineup -- in the end Fennel and NPC #3 where voted out. They will still appear in events and game mechanics but will not be available for nursery litters. Perhaps in the future we will see them return, but not for the entirety of 2022.

Fortunately for us, we will have a few new faces replacing them in our lineup. Cliff [x] and NPC #8 [x], whom is still trying to figure out their path in our maze of mechanics here at Stars, are enthusiastic about the future.

These changes are effective immediately. Welcome to our family, Cliff + NPC #8 <3

[I Like Bees]

We also have a nursery event for February!
Edit pass rates have been increased, and the event NPCs are available, including #4!

[I Like Bees]

Opening some slots!
This will close around 2-3 PM CST

Our increased February edit pass rolls are in effect now
Our event NPCs (including #4) are also available!

No max fur please! Drawing that much fur is exhausting 😔
I'll be using regular kit number rolls

Link to your cat's Oekaki page or off-Oekaki approval post.
If you link to an archive, Toyhouse, or your own off-Oekaki post, your form won't count.

Reminders:
Make sure your cats are not on cooldown.
If you have already had a slot accepted this month, you cannot submit a form without a boon of fertility.
