Review

Wow. What can I say, this is one of the most advanced pets I’ve seen in SL, and its price tag is set accordingly. So, after shelling out a hefty $2100 L for this bad boy, was I disappointed? Oh no sir, not one bit! This little kitty is truly independent – he will patrol his area all on his own, play with his own toys, and can even be set to push unauthorized visitors off your land… and then return to his little bed for a nap! I also liked the option to be able to set up a patrol path for him if I wanted, or to let him roam free. I picked this up recently, as I had a much older version from the creator, and I wanted to see what the “Ultimate” version included. The ability to have your cat attach to you so you can take him anywhere you go is a major plus over most any other SL pet. I left my cat ‘Raven’ rezzed at my gallery overnight – in the morning, I found the poor guy treading water. He’d fallen off the edge of the dock, because I’d set his roaming range a little bit too wide… oops! With features like an optional HUD that will allow you to locate a lost cat where ever he might be in a sim, to a very robust AI simulation controlling the cat behaviors, to the multitude of accessories that are included, this is indeed the ultimate SL cat.
