Aug 29th, 2022Today was Speedpanda’s day to become fully aged. It also was not until today she decided she had kangaroo legs. That eating pose lol Because Speedpanda was fully aged I took out another pet, Rooby Doo, who was hexed by Amanda @ Cargo. Like Vinny (and some other petz that I will be taking out soon) I did raise her a bit already though I didn’t realize how old she actually was. I thought she was still in puppy stage but she was actually 39 today, so already an adult. She and Vinny were fighting over the Togepi egg auto rolling ball. Aug 31st, 2022Vinny was determined to get that Togepi egg ball from Dante. Looks like he was successful. … But I guess the egg wasn’t happy about being stolen by Vinny, because it managed to jumpscare him. Twice. Now it’s time to get revenge Even Dante looks a bit worried about it now. He’s like, “are you sure you wanna go near it again?” Vinny was also 45 today so I was taking pictures of him for his crew page (I like putting their pictures at around 12, 45 and 100). I gave him a treat after the pictures and when I brought him back to the family room he had hiccups lol.

Poor, poor Speedpanda. Life as a kangaroo.... Poor Vinny, poor Togepi ball (where's it from?) and poor Dante for growing up in all this madness! Nah, they'll be fine.

The Togepi ball is from Amanda @ Cargo! cargo-petz.neocities.org/ (You'll have to click downloads then toyz, then scroll down a bit) it comes with a bunch of Pokemon egg auto rolling balls. She has a lot of cool toyz and clothes there.

Sep 1st, 2022Hey has turned 100 today! Which means I will bring in another pet to raise. We are back to catz, so I brought in Lauren. I got Lauren from Teascape’s PUGS shop. She’s another I’ve supposedly already raised a bit because she was 45 when I took her out. Already an adult and I took her mid-aged picture for the crew pictures. She’s a Calico mixie. Immediately she joined Vinny in attacking the auto rolling ball. Dante kept a safe distance. Lauren was not having any of the mice today. She put on her best Tom impression for Jerry. Those mice are pretty brave. Both coming out at the same time while a cat is watching. … And then Lauren started tossing the white mouse around like pasta. It probably should have seen it coming lol “Yeah, go back to where you came from “ What are you looking at me like that for? This is clearly top notch decorating!!!! No, clearly she loves it. So much to run into the wall in an attempt to attack the gallery. Sep 2nd, 2022Another pet has reached 100 today, which is Button. So I brought in another dog to raise, Smore. He’s a Tamsin I got from Bec on PUGS. He was 27 when I brought him in, so today was his last puppy day. Smore does not approve of this pillow. Okay after seeing the auto rolling mouse ball on Tigeranne’s thread I had to download it LOL (from Unique Petz) After all the chaos my petz like to cause and endure (some of it totally not just me spamming 50 toyz in one area), it felt right at home! (Also I have no idea why but Vinny keeps making me think of a cartoon burglar or something) Lauren: “I’ll just sit here and pretend nothing is happening. ” Nope. Looks like the mayhem finally got to her.

Sep 5th, 2022The mouse ball is starting to rub off on my catz. Now they’re acting crazy too. (Lauren why are you flying??) I also found out that apparently Dogz can get bullied by Catz to the point they will scream and run to the door… yum. I’ve been sometimes bringing Steamboat back out with Rooby Doo since they’re kind of matching. (Steamboat is already raised to 100, and he’s from Amanda too). Originally they didn’t really get along… but I’ve since fixed that As you can see they like each other now. I brought them to the Southern Seas for a little pirate adventure! Since for whatever reason I decided to make them pirate themed with their attire and I’ve just gone with it. Steamboat posing for a postcard. Unfortunately, when I closed out the game, it threw an error and didn’t save anything. Which I somehow knew it would. But that wasn’t the first time I got this error. I think one of the newer toyz I downloaded my game wasn’t happy with, IDK why, it might be clashing with another toy? In the error it kept saying petza.toy was causing it, but that doesn’t really make any sense. So far I guessed it might have been one of the newer toyz I downloaded after some testing, and it only seemed to happen after I took them out. The error shows up not right away but after a while, and only if I close/minimize Petz. (I really wish Petz had a save button omg) But it was just Rooby and Steamboat’s first trip that got erased, everything I did before then was saved thankfully, since I make a habit of closing the game multiple times to not lose a lot of progress in case of a crash. I took them on a new trip without the toy I think might have been causing the error. The plane is perfectly placed behind Steamboat to where it looks like his pirate hat has a propeller. At least they still had fun on the new trip! While that sums up today in Petz 4, I did the unthinkable and downloaded Petz 5 the other day, because I’m curious. (And I wanted to raise more petz from gen 1, but I need to raise all the other petz I have right now so I figured just have a separate game). So far I don’t have a strong opinion yet but if I end up disliking it (or I find it crashes too much, but that hasn’t happened yet) I can always Petzflux the petz back to Petz 4. At first I was going to just start with two Catz, a boy and a girl, but then I couldn’t choose between these two Maine Coons (who were both girls) so I adopted them and thought about getting two boys after. These two are Crumpet and Muffet. I don’t know why those were the names I came up with, but sure. Crumpet is the darker one, and Muffet is the lighter one. Yes, I am still using OWs because I like having more options. (This is the smoke and tabby MC OW from Cargo). They both get along well and cause chaos. In the AC Crumpet flung Muffet’s hairball across the screen. I knew I couldn’t not take them home lol. Nothing was more fun than playing with food bowls. And staring into my soul. Omfg Crumpet stop Muffet wanted to take a bath. Then I got a Spivak (a breed gyiyg made) and a Desert Lynx (which is also using gyiyg’s OW for it). Both can be downloaded from here. I wanted to get a Spivak because I wanted to try breeding regular catz with the colouring/textures of the Spivak. Okay, if you thought Muffet and Crumpet were weird names, I somehow ended up naming these two Buttshake (the Spivak) and Mrrreorw (the Desert Lynx). I was laughing like a 5 year old at those names, I’m so mature I know lol. Okay there is context. When I was first taking out Spivaks, there was one that came out with the same colouring as Buttshake and immediately did the butt shaking animation in the middle of the screen. I didn’t end up adopting this particular Spivak but I named him after it to never forget the amazing memory. EDIT: I was taking pictures of them after I made this post and he did it.
Now Buttshake lives up to his name.
I named the Desert Lynx “Mrrreorw” because he kept spamming one of the Desert Lynx sounds and that was me trying to type out the sound lol.
I’m going to have Dogz in Petz 5 too to breed, if I keep playing it, but I have an idea for it which might take me a bit, so I’ll be focusing on the Catz in Petz 5 for now.
Finally, we'll end with this goofy picture of Dante on the dog bed:

Oooooh, more petz to cause havoc! What's not to love?! I've got the Cargo OW for the Maine Coon too, but I put it in after I adopted Moon, so she's just regular Ubi.
I really like the bright, wild colours of the Spivak! May he long shake his butt!
Oh yeah, and the picture wall is just amazing! The Dalmatian is my favourite.

Sep 6th, 2022I didn’t know Catz could howl… Muffet doesn’t look happy about anything going on here. And Crumpet is scared of everything. Crumpet: “Maybe they won’t see me like this” Muffet is certainly not impressed. A new favourite toy: creepy scarecrow child that laughs while a pet chews its face off! It started snowing despite there being no clouds, and Muffet thought it was a good idea to sleep like this in the snow. These two hate eating. They carry the food dishes around more than they actually eat anything. You think they will actually eat now? Nope. They couldn’t last one bite between bowls before running around again. (Honestly though it’s funny watching them) Sep 7th, 2022I had opened the game earlier and had Dante and Smore out a bit but I wasn’t really recording what was going on much. I opened it again later since I hadn’t actually finished playing and I took Vinny and Lauren out. Hmm… Omg. This will be the first kitten I’ll ever have in the game! I’ve never even used PetzA to test/experiment breed Catz before, so this will be exciting. Also, while this happened I was listening to random video game circus music to try to find music for a personal project I’m working on (unrelated to Petz) so for some reason that coupled with this was really funny. Dante, how did you get stuck in the carrying case… I like how Smore is always just staring at him wondering if he’s okay. Sep 8th, 2022
No matter how much Steamboat tried… He was unsuccessful in catching the airplane. Hey Crumpet… you might not want to swat that. Even Muffet knows what should be coming. Good thing the balloons in this game are made of steel. Okay Crumpet WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR EYES I started feeding them on the desktop to bypass the buggy physics (and maybe they would actually eat). It’s weird that there’s no playpen in Petz 5? So you’ll have to live with the wallpaper. They still liked to switch between bowls a lot though. Finally, have you two decided on one? Crumpet doesn’t want to share the bathtub. Oh yeah, I decided to be a bit more mature and renamed the two other catz. Buttshake is now Mr. B Shakes and Mrrreorw is now Marty (Mrrreorw was kinda temporary anyway because I couldn’t think of anything). Never ceases to disappoint me. These two wrestle a LOT. Which is when that annoying Desert Lynx meow spams so I get to hear it a lot lol.
By the way I think I'm going away next week so I won't be able to play Petz much, so if I don't post again for a while that's why.
I might get MAYBE one more post in before I go, but only if I have enough time. Otherwise if I play I'll save it for when I get back.

So I believe in the last post I made on this thread, I mentioned that Lauren and Vinny were due for a kitten. The kitten has since been born!
His name is Bartleboy (based on an ancient inside joke where I misheard the name Bartleby as a kid lol) and he's a Tabby. But my favourite thing about him?
He apparently has high finickiness. He does the snooty walk LOL
It's especially funny because neither his parents do this, so it must have been inherited recessively. Once he turned 12, I did check his personality traits with GoalDescriptAnalyzer and iirc his finickiness was somewhere in the 70s. Vinny has a lot of Siamese in his genetics so I thought it might have been passed down from him, but Lauren's finickiness is actually higher than his (it's around 40), though she has a lot of Chinchilla Persian... do they have high finickiness? I'm pretty sure Siamese do but I don't know, I don't have a lot of experience with those breeds yet.
Bartleboy has been put in the storage for now until I get around to naturally raising him. I'm trying to get through most of the petz I had already posted in my Airtable (they're hidden right now), after that I'll probably just start taking out those I have saved in my "new petz downloads" folder based on whoever I feel like raising at the time. I'm determined to naturally raise most of my petz even if it will take me a while with me wanting to adopt more petz all the time... rip.
On another note, there's this weird thing I noticed with my catz. Some of them like to constantly fling the same item over and over. Like, they just don't stop. They grab the item, go on a ledge, and fling/drop it, then go and grab it again... rinse and repeat. It was funny at first, but then it started getting a little annoying because they wouldn't do anything else, and I had to remove the stool I had in the playpen because of it.
Juniper here (hexed by Raine @ Serenity) was the worst offender for this (but I think some of my other catz were doing it too). Here he was doing it with the music box. I think the time I got rid of the stool he was grabbing the blue dog food bowl and flinging it from the stool in the playpen. Juniper I know you hate dog food, but omg do something else lol.
I had no idea catz could actually hang upside down from the bottom of the carrying case?! Amazing. Then he started slowly sliding away from it.
Anyway, Lauren and Vinny both turned 100, so they are now fully aged!
And here's an age 12 Bartleboy to complete the family:
As for my dogz I've been recently raising in Petz 4, well here we have Smore the dali (as seen in a previous post here) and Ralphie the dane (from Sinnie @ Amphigory)! I can't remember if I mentioned this already, but they at first didn't get along, but I hexed them right away to be friends so I didn't have to deal with the bullying stuff.
I don't really have anything specific to report on them, but I do have a lot of funny pictures of them, especially of Ralphie. So here's a little showcase of them.
Don't know if you can tell, but he has a Sheepie SCP. You know, I'm not a big fan of the sounds the Sheepdogs make, but omg the SCP is pretty cute. I love it when Ralphie just suddenly flops over. He's not a trotter, he just flops over randomly unprompted and it's cute. He also likes to wave at me. (It's not the wave animation they do when a pet they don't like gets sent through the door, it's a different one he does sometimes while looking at me).
I don't know what Ralphie was looking at angrily there. And just after... Ralphie are you okay?
Then Smore looked like he was dabbing at a stick. Great. Fantastic.
So that's most of what I have to say about Petz 4, but now to Petz 5! A lot has happened with my weird little crew of catz.
So since they became adults, I paired up Crumpet with Mr. B Shakes, and Muffet with Marty. They fell in love pretty much immediately, and kittens were imminent.
Crumpet and Mr. B's kittens! I named them Skawn, Shawn, and Liming, respectively. These were temporary names that ended up sticking lol. I love that they all ended up having the Spivak spots, which is a trait I hope to keep in their descendants' phenotypes.
Here's the family together on the first day of the kittens' birth. (Nice pose, Crumpet).
As for Muffet and Marty's kitten, I forgot to take a picture of the birth certificate. So here's a picture of Muffet with him. His name is Monty.
Now the kittens are at age 12 and separated from their mothers. Here they are, ordered as Skawn, Shawn, Liming, and Monty:
I definitely want to keep Skawn. I really like the Spivak face on him. I might keep Monty, though they are expecting second litters (both pairings) so I will wait and see what comes of that. I like that Monty has green eyes though! I'm pretty sure it must have mutated because both of his parents have dusty coloured eyes. I may or may not keep Liming at least to breed (since I plan to pair a kitten from both litters together) but I'm not sure if I will keep her permanently in my crew.
Anyone who's left over I may put up for adoption later.
And that pretty much wraps up today's post! We'll probably see more kittens in the next post!

Isn't that the truth?! I was going through my storage folder of petz-to-be-raised, putting them in the game to check what they actually were, because I had forgotten half of them. Your kittens all turned out looking great! I don't think I could have parted with any of them, LOL! Can you tell I was that possessive kid, who never offered my pretty marbles for trade? The glowing blue Spivak markings look so beautiful against the shades of brown in their fur! I've got a thing for blues with browns. Don't tell the others, but Liming may be my favourite. Definitely keep her!

Definitely keep her! Yeah, I find it hard to part with them too! I kinda want to offer some adoptions though, so I thought to offer any extra petz from my Petz 5 litters. Blue and brown look really good together, I definitely agree! (I have a lot of characters I've made with similar colour schemes). And I do like Liming too, she was my favourite at first, but then for some reason I really liked Skawn. But I like how tiny she is compared to her brothers, haha. I'll probably keep her and pair her with Monty later.
