Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by! You might be wondering what the PPCC is.
The PPCC (or Double P Double C) is where competitions are held for cats of the PPAA!
The Playful Paws Adoption Agency is an adoption center focused on adopting out cats.
There are three different types of competitions that you can enter your cats in here.
The first is Agility, which is run the same as a typical dog agility course, with obstacles.
The second is Racing, where the cats try to run from Point A to Point B in the shortest time.
And the third is Show, where the cat who exhibits the best qualities of their breed wins.
Feel free to browse around and see everything that we have to offer here at the PPCC!

_____Competitions are contests that pit cats from the Playful Paws Adoption Agency against one another in various ways. There are three different types of Competitions – Racing, Agility, and Show. Members that own cats from the PPAA may enter up to five of their cats in the various competitions, though each cat may only enter one of the three competitions during each opening. There are a number of important details used in competitions that will be helpful if you want to win. Everything relating to competitions will be explained here.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


THE COMPETITIONS


AGILITY

Members guide their cats through an obstacle course set up on a grassy field.
Whichever cat completes the obstacles in the fastest time, with the least amount of mistakes, wins.
Some of the obstacles include teeter totters, A frames, and tunnels.

RACING

Cats are encouraged to run from one point to another in the shortest time.
Whichever cat gets to the finish line in the shortest amount of time wins.

SHOW

A judge evaluates the cats against established breed standards.
​The cat judged to have the best appearance wins.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


STATS

_____​Stats are used to help determine how well a cat will do in a competition. Which Stats are higher may reflect which competition a cat is better suited to. For example, a cat whose highest Stats are Stamina, Conformation, and Temperament may be better suited to Shows, while a cat whose highest Stats are Concentration, Speed, and Stamina may be better suited to Racing. It will be up to the members entering their cats to determine which of the competitions they'd like to have their cats participate in.

The Stats used are:
​
​Concentration, Speed, Stamina, Conformation, and Temperament
​

The specific Stats that are used in each competition are:

Agility – Concentration, Speed, Temperament

Racing – Concentration, Speed, Stamina

Show – Stamina, Conformation, Temperament


▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


STATS IN BREEDING

_____Stats of kittens are determined by finding the average of the parents. For example, if the Stat for Concentration is 4 for Parent 1 and 2 for Parent 2, the kittens would all have a Concentration of 3. To get this number, you add the Stats of the parents and divide by 2. If the number is a decimal, it is rounded up to the nearest whole number. If both parents have the same number for a Stat, the kittens will have the same number for that Stat. For example, if the Stat for Concentration of both parents is 4 then all of the kittens will have 4 for Concentration.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


ITEM BONUSES

_____​​There are special items that can be given to cats that will affect their Stats during competitions. The items affect the Stats by either preventing a Stat from receiving negatives or by adding to a Stat. For example, if a cat is determined to be Distracted but has an item that prevents negatives to its Concentration, then it would end up having no effect on the cat. Another example would be if a cat is determined to have no change to its Stamina but an item is used to add to their Stamina, their Stamina score would go up.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


COMPETITION FACTORS

_____Competitions Factors are certain circumstances that affect the participants of a competition. The factors are Attention, Weather, Energy, Anxiety, and Hunger. Attention affects Concentration, Weather affects Speed, Energy affects Stamina, Anxiety affects Conformation, and Hunger affects Temperament. Weather affects all cats the same way, while Attention, Energy, Nervousness, and Hunger affect each cat individually.
_____Whether a cat loses or gains points or doesn't have their score changed at all is determined using a random number generator. A number is chosen between 1 and 100. If the number is 1 to 33, then the score will be increased. If the number is 34 to 66, then the score will not change. If the number is between 67 and 100, then the score will be decreased. Scores can be increased or decreased by 1 to 3 points. How much a score increases or decreases is also determined by a random number generator.

COMPETITION FACTOR AFFECTS

​Attention - affects each cat individually
DISTRACTED: 1 – 3 decrease in Concentration
ATTENTIVE: no change in Concentration
FOCUSED: 1 – 3 increase in Concentration

Weather - affects all cats the same
RAINY: 1 – 3 decrease in Speed
CLOUDY: no change in Speed
SUNNY: 1 – 3 increase in Speed

Energy - affects each cat individually
TIRED: 1 – 3 decrease in Stamina
AWAKE: no change in Stamina
WELL-RESTED: 1 – 3 increase in Stamina

Anxiety - affects each cat individually
ANXIOUS: 1 – 3 decrease in Conformation
CALM: no change in Conformation
RELAXED: 1 – 3 increase in Conformation

Hunger - affects each cat individually
HUNGRY: 1 – 3 decrease in Temperament
SATISFIED: no change in Temperament
FULL: 1 – 3 increase in Temperament


▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁


COMPETITION JUDGING

_____Competitions are judged by adding up the Stats. First, Competition Factors and Item Bonuses are applied to each individual cat in the competition to determine their final Stats. Whichever cat has the highest score after their Stats are added wins first place. Second highest score gets second place. Third highest score gets third place. Any cats that do not place will earn a small conciliatory prize for entering.
_____If two cats get the same score and are tied for First Place, a random number generator will be used to determine the First Place winner. The cat that doesn't get it will then be given Second Place, and the cat with the next highest score earns Third. If two cats get the same score and are tied for Second place, a random number generator will be used to determine the Second Place winner. The cat that doesn't get it will then be given Third Place. If two cats get the same score and are tied for Third Place, a random number generator will be used to determine the Third Place winner. The cat that doesn't get it will unfortunately not place and be given the conciliatory prize instead.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

TROPHIES, SASHES & RIBBONS

_____Trophies, Sashes, and Ribbons are achieved by winning First, Second, or Third place in Agility, Racing, and Show. Once a Trophy, Sash, or Ribbon is earned, the item is placed in the first post of the cat that won the Trophy, Sash, or Ribbon to indicate they won a competition. The Trophies, Sashes, and Ribbons will only be placed in the first post of the cats that won them. For example, if a member has one cat that won a Second Place Trophy that Trophy will only be put in the first post of the cat that won it – not any of the other cats owned by that member.

INFORMATION ABOUT COMPETITION ITEMS

_____Items found in the Shop can only be used on one cat. For example, if you want to purchase a Simple Brush for two different cats you own, you will have to buy two Simple Brushes - one for each cat. You cannot purchase one Simple Brush and then use it on two different cats. All items are one time use. Once an item is used, you'll have to purchase another one to use it again.

_____Members may use multiple different items per cat per competition. Items cannot be doubled up to add extra bonuses. For example, a member can use 1 Patchwork Mouse + 1 Slicker Brush on the same cat but not 2 Patchwork Mice on the same cat. Two items from the same category cannot be used on one cat at the same time, either. For example, Basic Treats can be given to one cat but not at the same time as Chewy or Special Treats.

_____Members may purchase items to put into their Treasury to use later or purchase items to use during a currently running competition. If items from the Treasury are used, they will be removed from the Treasury as they have now been used. Members purchasing during a running competition will need to send the C$ for the items they are purchasing when told to by rainbowpanda101.

[rainbowpanda101]

Q: Can I be an artist/moderator/co-owner/etc?
A: Playful Paws Adoption Agency is not looking for artists or co-owners right now. Moderator positions may open soon!

Q: How do I get a PPAA cat?
A: There are several ways to get a cat from the PPAA! Adoptable cats are available for a small fee as regularly as possible. The fee ranges between 1 and 5 C$ depending on the complexity of the cat's design. Simply find an available cat that you like and be the first to post the purchase form on its thread, send the C$ when you are told to, and the cat is yours!

Auctions and raffles are another way to achieve PPAA cats. Auction cats will have a starting bid between 1 and 5 C$, with a 1 C$ increase per bid, and an autobuy option of 20 C$. Auctions will take place anywhere from a few days up to a week, unless the autobuy option is chosen by one of the bidders. Whoever has the highest bid at the end wins the cat. Raffle cats are free to enter for and will take place anywhere from a few days up to a week. Once the end date is reached, a random number generator is used to choose the winner of the cat from the pool of people who entered.

PPAA cats are also obtainable through breeding and customs. If you don't have any PPAA cats of your own to breed, you can request a breeding between a Tom and Queen found in the Nursery. Breeding also costs C$ and the amount depends on how many kittens you want. One kitten costs 1 C$, two kittens cost 3 CS, and 3 kittens cost 5 C$. You can also request custom PPAA cats, which cost anywhere from 1 to 5 C$ not including additional fees for lineart edits.

PPAA cats can also be found during Treasure Hunting. If you do not own any PPAA cats to use as your Companion during Hunting, you can use any of the Toms or Queens listed in the Nursery. Simply put Tom or Queen, with the name of the Tom or Queen you want to use, where it says Companion in the Treasure Hunting form!

Some members who already own PPAA cats may also be willing to trade or gift their cats to others. However, you should never approach another member about trades or gifts unless you see that the member has posted in the fanclub saying they are trading or giving away their cats!

Q: Do I have to use my cats in the PPAA?
A: Nope! Once you purchase a cat through the PPAA, you have no obligations to participate in anything else PPAA-related. Feel free to take your cats and go breed them yourself. Use them as original characters in whatever way you want. So long as you're giving proper credit to rainbowpanda101 for the art and/or design, all is good!

Q: What if I don't want to pay with C$? Can I pay with pets instead?
A: If you do not want to pay for adoptable cats, breeding, or customs with C$, certain pets will be accepted in exchange for C$ according to THIS thread. Once a pet is exchanged for C$, the amount of C$ will go into your Treasury account. From there, you can spend it however you'd like. All pet exchanges are non-refundable, so please make sure you are 100% certain you want to exchange your pets. Please see the Treasury section for more details.

Q: How often can we adopt? How many can we adopt?
A: There's no limit to how often you adopt from the PPPA or how many cats you can own in total. Though, if you have quite a few PPAA cats in your possession, please be nice and let others have a chance to get some!

Q: Can I trade or gift my PPAA cats to other members?
A: Yes! Members can trade, sell, or gift away any of the cats purchased from the PPAA. There are no restrictions, either. Trade your cats for other cats or other characters/designs. Sell your cats for C$ or pets. Do whatever you'd like with them! Members are also welcome to advertise here in the main thread whether they're wanting to sell or trade any of their cats. But please only advertise once per page!

Q: Can I trade or gift my PPAA items or Tokens to other members?
A: Item trading and gifting is not available at this time. If enough interest is shown for this, it will be added in the future.

Q: Can we breed our PPAA cats?
A: Yes! Members can request up to 2 breedings each time that breeding opens. The cost of breeding depends on how many kittens you want. One kitten costs 1 C$, two kittens cost 3 CS, and 3 kittens cost 5 C$. If you don't have any PPAA cats of your own to breed together, you can request a breeding between a Tom and Queen found in the Nursery. You can also partner up with other members to breed your PPAA cats together! Partners may split the cost of their breedings, and any partners that request 2 kittens get a discount, where each partner only pays 1 C$.

Q: Can we get custom PPAA cats?
A: Yes! Custom PPAA cats cost 1 to 5 C$ depending on the complexity of the design you want. If you want any lineart edits, that will cost an additional fee depending on the edit. Small edits like changing the ear shape or adding an expression costs 1 C$, while larger edits like accessories or body edits costs 2 C$.

Q: What is Treasure Hunting?
A: Treasure Hunting is an exploration game that members can participate in to try and find items or even cats! When Treasure Hunting is open, you can post once per day to go "hunting" to try and find something. Each time you go hunting, you have a 50/50 chance of finding something or not. Please see the Treasure Hunting section for more details.

Q: What exactly is the Playful Paws Competition Center?
A: The PPCC is a thread where members of the PPAA can enter their cats into competitions in order to try and win prizes. The prizes consist of Catnip, which is exchanged into C$ and put into the Treasury; Trophies; Sashes; and Ribbons. The Trophies, Sashes, and Ribbons can only be placed on the cats that won them. For example, if a member has one cat that won a Second Place Trophy that Trophy can only be put on the cat that won it – not any of the other cats owned by that member.

Q: Is there a fanclub?
A: Yes! You can find the fanclub HERE.

Q: I have a question that I don't want to ask in public. What should I do?
A: If you have a question related to Playful Paws Adoption Agency that you would rather not post publicly in the thread, you are welcome to private message rainbowpanda101 at any time. Her PMs are always open, and she checks them quite often so you will probably get a response within 1 to 3 days. However, if you do not get a response within 3 days, send your message again. Sometimes her inbox gets messy, so just keep trying until you get a response.
