To Anyone :

Do any of you guys have interests in myths and legends? especially norse mythology!

    Yes, I have a vested interested in mythology from all over but especially norse and I'm considering taking classics next year!

epoch wrote:have you ever ridden a horse? if so did you like it??

    Yeah, once when I was ten or so. I really enjoyed it but I don't think my family liked it as much as I did haha!

↟The Sound Of Drums↟ wrote:To any and all staff:

Have you guys heard of Imagine Dragons? If so, what's your favorite song? Mine's a three-way tie between Dream, I'm So Sorry, and Whatever It Takes :>

    Yes, I love them!! I got into them as they were releasing all their EPs before Night Visions came out (hipster alert). My favourite song of all time? I guess it'd have to be one of those, maybe Drive? That always gave me Killers vibes. I haven't chosen a favourite from the new album yet though, they're all so good.

What is the most crazy, intense situation you have been in on CS? I'm curious ^^

    December 18th is very intense every year!

What does it feel like one users start hoarding one of your outcomes? Especially when it's because they look good?

    Okay, call me big-headed but I have a bookmarks folder with people's hoards of the two pets I've made. It's just really flattering to know that people like anything you made enough to hoard it! ^^

sarahbara wrote:I have a few questions to the artists:
1. when doing pet designs for a litter, do you make a bunch of designs and pick your favourites for each litter or do you just design as you go? do you keep your 'unreleased' designs?
2. how do you feel when you go on the "Interesting Details on CS Pets & Items!" thread and see people noticing the tiny little hidden features on your pets?
3. and lastly, when you're coming up with a theme for your litter do you often check out the pet-design suggestion thread or do you usually already have an idea?

ps. I think that what you guys do is really cool. im an artist too (I love to paint and draw and most of the time doodle) but digital art is tough for me because I don't have great programs and all I have is the mousepad on my laptop. Anyways I think its amazing that you can create these awesome designs on a computer, it blows my mind sometimes : )

Edit: Also, how come the Rainbow Smoothie isn't in the archives?

Edit again:

so about custom pets, do you have the ability to make ones for yourself whenever? can you create items to fit your customs that have line edits?

and one more! do you guys ever get bored on CS and start doing random stuff like looking through old threads or stalking your friends' pet collections?

Next time please only ask one question per page

1. Normally I design as I go. I've abandoned designs before and I have kept a few 'unreleased' pets in case I want to work on them in the future.
2. It feels pretty cool
3. I do check that thread but I rarely find ideas I want to work from there.
4. I think it's because the rainbow smoothie wasn't released officially, I wasn't around when it was made so I can't give you the details.
5. Tess will let you know when you've been a staff member long enough to have a custom. I've never thought about making items for my custom specifically, there's nothing I want to put on mine and most staff members have whatever item they want drawn on their custom already.
6. Sometimes

It's possible, I don't think staff members should be above the rules.

as the creator of the site and an admin can you just put pets on your account?


yes, I can put any pet I want on my account :D But I only do that on very rare occasions. If I made a new sunback today then it would have a new pet ID# so you would be able to tell something was fishy about it (it would go in a strange order in pet groups since it wouldn't be a genuinely old pet). There are a few odd pets like that around the site cos I've sometimes had to create new pets for special reasons, like to replace pets that got stolen and then traded away and traded away until we can't easily return the real thing to their rightful owner.

Trust me, like with most games, cheat codes ruin the fun... if today you could cheat for every pet that ever existed and every pet created in the future you would be bored of the game by tomorrow. ;) what would be the point?

I guess I didn't really have an idea it was more of an accident. I was running a fansite for some old computer games called Petz and I made some free copy/paste adoptables just to get some more people to visit the site. The adoptables become more popular than the Petz stuff on the site so I let them take over :)

But it's fair to say I was influenced by sites like Neopets when I was growing up so that probably gave me some ideas too!

Hi, I'm not sure where to ask this, so I will try here.....
How many cat "pets" are there on this site up to this point (including August, but minus: lions, lionesses, &cubs)? I want to make sure I'm completely up to date for a full collection, including Warriors, Malk, Sitting, Walking, etc. I'm hoping this isn't a too big task. Thank you and have a nice day!:)

To: Anyone, I guess.

Is there a forum topic where we could suggest things to add to the site?
My suggestion would be to make an update where there's an option we could name all of our pets one thing.
EX: I like to name all of my pets on the level of how easy they're to trade away, and how not so easy.
