I'm Meiari. I like big Mutts, and I cannot lie. I'm probably somewhat older than a good portion of the community. I've been playing Petz for... roughly 14 years? I was given Catz II as a gift when I was around seven-ish, played it on my Windows 98 Compaq Presario, with its whole 50-something MB of RAM. Then I found Dogz 4 a few years later and fell in love with it until corrupted pet files broke the game, and the same thing happened with Petz 5 a couple years later. Being a child with no home internet until I was almost 15, I didn't know how to fix it until I joined VLF in 2008-ish, which by then I was already bored of Petz and did so more for nostalgia's sake, until the wonderful people like KishiKat and Russa helped me fix it, and patiently put up with me being a noob of Petz addons, forums, and the Internet in general. So opened up to the world of downloading user-made toys/clothes/breeds/ect, I had gotten back into Petz, specifically Petz 5 (Catz II and Dogz 4 I still own but they don't work well on my computer). I joined AAP soon after, you may know me from there as redwulf. I met some friends there that I proudly still keep in touch with, as well as learned how to roleplay (which I loved but was terrible at back then). Now I don't play Petz as much as I used to, but I still fire it up from time to time. Games: Petz 5 Favorite Base Breeds: Mutts and Maine Coons Dogz or Catz: Both. I'm a dog person, but the Catz in the game are better designed (like seriously, what even are the German Shepherds? e_e) and tend to have more personality. Has Played Petz For: Roughly 14 years, on and off. First Pet: An Orange Shorthair in Catz II named Fluffy. Oldest Pet Still Owned: Max, originally from Dogz 4, imported to Petz 5. Adopted: December 25, 2003 Some Favorites: Most are hexed off of characters of mine, or bred/hexed Petz who ended up becoming characters.

Oh wow...Redwulf sounds vaguely familiar from waaaaaaay back when! I know I must have seen you around AAP years ago, but I can't recall if we ever really got to know each other! Crazy to hear a name from back that far again!
BUT HI! I love Mutts too. xD I don't know why, but I'm just crazy about them!

[15 Male Ballerinas Clubbed To Death By Baby Seals Wearing Purple Camisoles During A Dispute Over Parking Spaces At Local Mall] Well, You did say "insert witty title that intrigues and amuses you". Okay, maybe it isn't witty, but it intrigues and amuses me. Of course, that's really easy to do anyway, so yeaahhhhhh... Anyway, welcome to RKC! Another long time player, eh? Max is adorable! I have a soft spot for mutts as my first pet was a mutt in Dogz 2. I still have him too, imported him into P4. And yeah, I agree that the Ubisoft German Shepherds were a disappointment, pretty ugly for such an awesome dog in RL. Luckily, there are hexed GSD OW files to the rescue, like ButterflyChaser's. Or realistic show files like the Java GSD. That's quite an interesting collection of petz you got there! You will surely add to it, as there's always an abundance of irresistible petz around to adopt. They're like crack, very addictive, and you can never get enough.

Thank you all. c: It's a bit sad to see AAP as empty as it is, but it's nice to know that it's not the entire Petz community. CatCreature Yeah, I joined there June 1, 2008. Did you go by that name there, too? I think I remember seeing that name around. c: Good to see some old faces. ^^ Bec Thank you!^^ That was just the ones I had in my current folder that I felt patient enough to get pics of last night. Barguestspirit That is certainly a title of intrigue and amusement. XDD Love it, wish I'd thought of that. Reminds me of a game called 'Stop Clubbing, Baby Seals' because baby seals at a nightclub is great. And aww, that's so cute you still have him. <3 I was certain I'd saved the file of my very first pet, but I can't find her anywhere. And Mutts just usually have the coolest personalities in game (as well as RL ha). And lol, I remember being so excited as a child when I saw Petz 5 had German Shepherds, one of my favorite breeds, only to see this creature with forelegs that moved like a cartoon bulldog, an awkward back alignment, and ears that sometimes seemed to detach. X'DD You tried, UbiSoft. And fixed ows sound interesting, are there any semi-realistic ones? Like improved realism but Petzy enough to walk and sit without looking like it needs a vet? And ha, that's not all of them, just a few I had on hand I felt like getting pics of. But I'll check into adoptions and probably offer my own. ;D Sasha Thank you, same to you. I love that face of the cat in your av. XD

LOL. There is, in fact, an old "point and click" Monty Python game based on "The Meaning of Life" movie. At one point, it has you use a monk to club an adorable white cartoon baby seal to death with a plank of wood in a sequence that is both disturbing and hilarious. It's a wonderful game, full of weird and pointless, very "Monty Python". In fact, I purchased my first Petz game, Dogz 2, and "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" computer game together at the same time. Ahhh, memories. Yeah, the mutt personality is just so easy going, friendly, and really easy to train. I find mutts learn tricks and posing really quickly (usually even quicker than dalis, another quick learning breed), and a lot of them have a tendency to be "mentors" to puppies, which is really cute. They have this good-natured goofiness that's just irresistible. And who doesn't love mutt patches? Those always look good whether it's on a mutt or another breed. Yep, there's ButterflyChaser's GSD OW file, which I really like. It's a unibreed, so it can be used in P3+. Here's picture of one of my dogs bred using the file: She fixed the ugly legs and ears, I think this is a nice fix for the GSD, it's good for showing, but also still petzy. Here's a link to download if you're interested.There's another GSD OW floating around, hexed by Manda: Link. That's a nice one too. I like Java GSDs for showing, but they are certainly not play friendly. There are a few showy type hexed breeds that I like, but overall, I tend to prefer petzy and play-friendly files, and I know a lot of other people do too. I have to mention that your Sunshine is just adorable. I love her color combo, pink eyes, plushiness, and that expression. So cute! <3

D: Have you got it downloaded yourself? And yup, I've been CatCreature on all the petz forums. xD So that would definitely have been me back then!

Aww, yeah, I forgot about that link not working anymore. I don't think there is a working one anywhere at the moment, and I can't find the file in my folders. I used to have it, not sure what I did with it though. I'm pretty sure some other people around here do have it though.

Aww, that's a shame, I quite like Manda's. Though ButterflyChaser's is nice too. And yesss, Mutts. <33 They do make good parents lol. Plus the wonky eyelids are so cute. Showy cat breeds are usually alright ingame (except droptailed, I prefer my pets without their butts experiencing rigor mortis) but most showy dog breeds are... nice in pics, not much else. I'll never forget my disappointment the first time I downloaded a bunch of PKC registered breeds. XDDD The pics looked great, though. And Sunshine? Sunset? This cat? Sunset is a hexie based off of a cat I bred years ago and really liked, used her a lot in RPs lol, but unfortunately lost her original file. I remade her in the same colors, but gave her a plush texture, pink eyes, and a little more fluff. c: And I didn't remember who she was originally related to, so I left the fluffy plush cali base in and bred a family for her. An old pic of the original Sunset, and the remade for comparison.

Hey, welcome, Meiari! <3 Something seems silly about welcoming someone who already has more posts than you, but whatever. xDD And cool, I haven't had the time lately, but I love roleplaying too. ^^ What kind of things do you rp? Certain animals, human characters?

Thank you. XD And hey, I'm pretty sure you still joined before me ha. And I'll roleplay pretty much anything, except fandom RPs (though I have done oc Warriors RPs [even though I dislike the series lol] and oc Pokemon). I have a great deal of canine characters (dogs, wolves, coyotes), domestic cats, a couple of lions, and a lot of humans. X3 Are there ever any RPs here? I haven't come across any. What about you, what do you do?

Woops, yeah, Sunset! Very fitting name really. Those colors are lovely, and the pink eyes top it off. The original Sunset is awesome too, but the plush version makes me want to reach out and pet her.

Think I'm about the same. xD Most of my characters are either humans or lions, and probably what I'm most comfortable roleplaying. I've also got a few canine characters, and that's what I used to roleplay all the time, but a little bit less so nowadays. I've never done fandom-specific roleplays, but I think they could be interesting. xDD There's a handful of characters from different series that I love, and I have found some to be alarmingly fun to write about. :'D Pokemon could be fun too, though I'd probably lean more towards the ways of the Mystery Dungeon series, haha.
And I...have no idea. :x Haven't looked around for roleplays here yet, so your guess is as good as mine.
