sPriNg hAS SpRunG!!!! - Wild FlowerS! and Scrambled EggS!

happy spring everyone!

i hope you are enjoying the changing of the season... butterflies are fluttering about, humming birds visiting my yard and the temperature rising is making every thing bloom!!! it's quite beautiful and intoxicating.

the arrival of spring this year made it's way into the latest collection i designed for KittyCatS! - like every collection i do, i'm always a little worried the inspiration won't strike or an idea will not turn out... that was the case when doing both of these collections.

the Wild FlowerS! were inspired by thinking of mixing one of my favorite textures, leopard print and flowers... the result ended up being quite different than i had imagined at first and i'm so GLAD!!!

take a peek!

the second design "Scrambled Eggs" were inspired by the colors of spring with a lean towards how some easter eggs are and other spring are decorated. it was fun to imagine the KittyCatS themselves playing and painting each other. the story that i worked from is, they were so inspired by the colors of sping and wanted to decorate each other to fit in too. they thought being an egg would be a good idea but they didn't really understand how easter eggs fit into the whole thing so they named themselves silly things like "souffle", "sunny side up", "omelette", you get the picture. but they were so proud of themselves they presented themselves as "the scrambled eggs! who had the heart to tell them they really DID get it "scrambled"? not me!

both collections come with a special surprise! by breeding a pair together, they would give you a special baby, the flowers gave a "wild child" and the scrambled eggs gave a "deviled". complete with a set of bunny ears and a little cotton tail, nodding again to the newborn baby animals of spring :) 

take a look!

This Spring collection is available on the marketplace and at the KittyCatS main store thru April 15th. 

if you are in the mood for some spring fun wrapped up in a cute little KittyCat... well i'm thinking you may enjoy these :)

have a happy spring, enjoy the beginning of a new season, the melting of the winter chill and the time to start some things new and fresh.

The Bugs & The Bees, MegaPuss, 2 years, One Billion, & more!

Wow... what a crazy month so far!!! KittyCatS! turned two... and the party is still going on at our birthday sim, where you can RIDE a  MegaPuss, (rideable cat), get a FREE birthday Kitty with CAKE food :), and dance, ride a bull, see an indian village and more! (the free Bday cats are available until the end of the month)

What is a MegaPuss??? It's a KittyCatS you can RIDE and also have a friend ride on back!!! Tinies can even ride them!! (see photo) Our community has gone wild over these, and i'm sure you can guess they've had fun with the name as well :/

We had a 5 hour party and it was a blast...

The Team was wanted... for various reasons...

We also released our adorable "Bugs & Bees" collection. To celebrate LOVE and all things buzzin' and stuff. These are available until the end of the month!

We also had some fun with Mardi Gras... where our community had a chance at a surprise mardi gras Kitty! That was tons of fun too!

I've been so busy, not had any time for designing out side of KittyCatS! but I did manage to get some Mesh hair to finally work!! (thank to old Gurl Six bangs) and I got a new skin... so that was my other big news! :P Thanks to Barely Texan who MADE me buy the skin and eyes. (ok he really didn't make me... i made the choice and i only had to tweak my face for about 10 minutes to get it to work!)

yay new skin & hair and eyes!

I was also honored to be a sponsor for one billion rising, an amazing event that lasted 24 hours to raise awareness about violence towards women world wide...  KittyCatS! was also a proud sponsor too. I'm constantly amazed at the work and creative ways SL supports RL causes.

Well, I have more news for this month but not anymore time to blog so it will come later! It's already a great year and gonna get "bettah", "bettah", "bettah"...

got STEAM??? Steampunk inspired KittyCatS! for RFL of SL Home expo.

Cats @ the KittyCatS! display

Making the RFL cats this year was bitter sweet. A dear friend's father that I've known since my teens has been battling pancreatic cancer, and he died on May 7th. He was one of the most amazing men I had ever met in my entire life. Full of love, life, courage, a pioneer in his career, and as humble as they come.

With him in mind I made these cats... it brought it to a whole new level for me because of the timing. One thing he said when he got diagnosed was "Cancer is the gift of time"... how coincidental it was... that was 2 years ago when they gave him but a month to live... but he was committed to living each day as the GIFT it was... then this year the theme is "Time for a Cure".

The cats were designed with that theme in mind as well. I have always been drawn to steampunk art, and when thinking of what i'd make for this event, i thought a "clock cat" which thankfully evolved into these little cuties.

They come in 2 colors, a Gold & Silver and the Girls and boys are different as well. The boy has the "gears" and mechanics, the girl has all the water inside her which you can see from her heart shaped hole, and she's full of little fish.

KittyCatS! come with collectible packaging & Goggles they wear!

The packaging the cats come in is a cute little "steampunk" inspired aquarium with a little fish that swims... All the elements in the cat and packaging tie into the display at the Home & Garden Expo where the cats can be purchased. ALL proceeds to go Relay For Life!!!!

They can also be purchased at the KittyCatS! mainstore and if you want to know more about KittyCatS! you can check out our website, or join our friendly community, KittyCats Addicts inworld.

just a mouse click away....

Last week, KittyCatS! released something I've been pretty excited about for a long time. We added the KittyCatS! CaTTery.

What is that? Well simply put, it's a way to export your cats with the click of the mouse onto our website "CaTTery" and you have the ability to feed, breed and care for them there!

It's an added feature our customers can use if they can't get into SL to care for their pets and just want to "keep an eye on them" and a very customizable tool that really can be used however the customer wants. (Some people were VERY excited to get their houses back after giving up house and home to their little Kitties)

A FEW OF MY PRETTY GIRLS online. *waves to them* 

Prims are always an issue in SL so I'm really happy we were able to offer a feature that is mindful of the limits we all have to work with in SL.

Thus far the response has been really positive which we were hoping for. What I find is really great is the speed of which the KittyCatS can travel in and out of SL in... literally a SECOND or LESS!!! I have to admit having fun sending them back and forth quite a few times.

We have provided this awesome addition at no charge so all who wanted, no matter what their budget could use the cattery. Oh did i forget to mention we have a new hold/cuddle too??? (Adorkable did a great job on it!!!)

new BEAR HUG hold - my little BunnyCat & me.

If you want to read more about it from some other perspectives, here are a few people who gave their take on it. New World Notes, Harper Beresford, Emerald Wynn,   & Kayleigh McMillian.

So with over 30 MILLION breeding possibilities ALL OF THEM, can be instantly seen on our website!!!  I have to say though I know very little about scripting... I'm pretty impressed with all the work and brain power it went into creating this technology... and I bow down humbly to "KittyCats" our scripter for his ability to pull of what we only dreamed of. Can't wait for the other stuff he's gonna do :P

If you want to know more about KittyCatS! please check out our website, and feel free to IM me inworld anytime too!

ahhh I got my house back!!! Thank you KittyCatS!

have a great weekend!
xoxo,
