So here's another little thing I wanted to do...and have no clue whether or not I'll keep up with it. xD Here's hoping! But I recently got this cute little kitten, Cinna, from noluckduck : I kind of felt bad for her...despite having a lot of generations in her family tree, and more than one breed...she came out looking -exactly- like a Tabby! And it seems like that kind of basic look usually makes people lose interest, and not want to adopt. But I always want to give these Petz a chance, because they're all still different, even if they look similar to other Petz! You never know which is going to be your new favorite pet. I thought she would be a fun little cat, and I wanted to give her a chance, and get to know her. I thought it would be fun to naturally raise her, from a kitten. I also thought, since I love merging Petz and Babyz pictures together, daydreaming about how the two would be as one game...why not attempt some sort of 'photo a day' challenge, documenting Cinna's growth? So...here we go. Here's an attempt! xD But first, here's a graphic of just my new girl Cinna first! She doesn't do any tricks, she loves to eat and pull goofy wide-eyed expressions, she looks fabulous in blue and she's fascinated by her little mini me plush toy! xD So far, she's adorable, and I'm already loving her! <3 This is where I'd post a graphic of the baby I'm going to be using...but honestly my clothing situation is a mess in Babyz, and I want to try and fix it over the course of tonight and tomorrow night (we'll see how that goes) and so I'll just put a hold on this graphic for now. xDD But her name is Suzu! She's hexed by Jamie, and she's based off a character of mine...so she's very precious, and still fairly new! <3 --- Here's day one with Suzu and Cinna, meeting in the yard! Cinna is pulling one of her goofy, wide-eyed expressions I'd mentioned. xDDD --- And since it rolled over to midnight by the time I finished that...here's day two! Suzu getting to know Cinna and playing with her indoors! Seems like these two will be the best of friends! <3

Yay! So glad to see one of my kitties having a good life with her new owner! I'm thinking it might be fun to do a lookalike grab bag on PUGS some time. Or even just a lookalike where I don't list the breed lineage, so its offspring would be a fun surprise!

I'm glad you like it so far! And I love grab bags...that sounds like fun to me! <3 --- I've been dealing with too much heat today...so here's a sort of summery, out in the back yard picture. xD

Have they actually met or are these just extremely well-made graphics? This almost makes me want to play Babyz. Almost. I'm a bit creeped out by them, though Suzy is really cute! I love Cinna. I can't believe anyone would not adopt her just because she looks like a regular tabby. If anything, I think the way her mixed genetics somehow led to this makes her really unique.

Just well-made graphics. ;-; Babyz and Petz can't actually meet, but I've always wished they could!! It would be so cute to see them interact together, or even just hang out in each other's space. But since it can't happen, making pictures like these is the best I can do! xD So I can imagine it and enjoy how it would have looked! <3
LOL Funnily enough I'm not really into interacting with real babies...but I like virtual ones. xD I think Babyz are actually pretty cute, and they make me laugh! The only reason I'm not -as- into it as I am Petz, is because there's a bit less to do.
Also, her name is actually Suzu! ^^ Japanese for 'bell'! Though Suzy works for a nickname, honestly! xDD <3
And yeah, if a pet looks like a 1st gen, people tend not to adopt them because they look too plain...and they could get a pet that looks like that from the AC if they really wanted to. So I've adopted a few like that in the past to give them a chance, because they're still really nice Petz!

And here I was, hoping people had figured out a way to get them to meet! It's sad, I think I'd be more interested in babyz if they could play with pets. But those graphics are really good, they seem so real and you pick the best pictures to mix together. I'm the other way around! I like many real life babies but most babyz kind of creep me out. Maybe I'd like them if I saw them move around and interact but I can't get over their looks. It doesn't help that some of the hexies I've seen don't look like babies. I get to an extent, a lot of petz hexies are very fantastical, but they remind of me the creepy babies in Renaissance paintings. <.< I didn't know there was less to do Do they have their own games and stuff they can do? Oops, I know her name is Suzu, I don't know why I messed it up! I'm so sorry D: I guess the cool thing about bred pets that look like 1st gens is that the more mixed they are, the less likely it is that they'd look like that. Also, they often have personalities that aren't their breeds, which I like. I personally never see/get them I'm glad you adopt them, they need good homes too! I completely agree with your reasoning.

I wish! But I think to do that, you'd need to completely alter or re-make the games entirely...as Babyz isn't programmed to handle the behaviors or files of Petz, and vice versa. So I don't think it's going to happen. ;-; And I get that! xD I've seen some Babyz that, while hexed impressively well, aren't exactly my taste. Some of them DO look a little odd when you consider how real babies are supposed to look. Originally, I didn't even like the long hair on them, like Suzu has, because it didn't feel right. But to an extent, I do like that now. xD You have a good point about them looking like the creepy Babyz in Renaissance paintings! xDDD I never thought about that, but I can see the similarities, haha! But yeah! I personally find them to be cute, but it can go both ways for people xD It's a fine line to make virtual babies look cute and not creepy, and I think it's different for everyone! Oh yes, there's other things Babyz can do! They interact with each other, they dance, play with toys, build with blocks, eat/make messes, you can dress them up, teach them to talk......and that's kind of it. I think you could say Petz could get boring too, but probably what makes Petz feel like there's more to do, is you can breed them and (more easily) hex them. It's easier to get a whole bunch of different kinds and you can have families, or Petzy drama of them finding multiple mates, and other stuff. xD I don't know, it feels like Petz just has more things you can do to keep you coming back. Babyz, to my knowledge, can only be hexed by their code...there's no Pet Workshop-like program where you can hex by sight, which I kind of rely on. So I can barely hex anything. So yeah. xD I still love Babyz, but Petz keeps me coming back way more often. And actually, U and Y are beside each other on the keyboard, now that I look at it...maybe you just slipped? Or even just misread it. xD Either way, no worries about the name mistake...it actually gave me an opening to share her name's language and the meaning behind it, haha! xD Why I chose it, I don't know. I just thought it sounded cute! --- Time for dancing fun! Although I did cheat a little for this picture...Cinna doesn't want to dance!! She MIGHT be too young? Do kittens not typically dance? o.O Because all she wanted to do was nose it around. Then she randomly started doing a goofy Zott walk out of nowhere, slapping her feet on the ground and walking all weirdly...and I was like "GOOD ENOUGH!!" x'DDD I had a Tabby who loved to dance when I was a kid, so I expect she'll change her mind later! xD Only one picture! The day before yesterday I wasn't feeling up to it, and yesterday the power went out. They haven't aged since my last picture though, so technically I'm still on track and haven't missed an age-up moment of theirs! Also, sorry to Suzu...if this baby is anything like her character, she probably hates me for the pink and girly outfit...my character hates wearing girly clothes. x'DDD But she looked so cute I couldn't resist...

So...the pictures for the 20th and 2st are a little sad, as Suzu came down with a -nasty- fever that just didn't want to go away. At the time of writing this, she's still fighting it off. She's been battling it for a few hours now, poor thing! But she's got medicine in her, and she'll be okay by the next update. ^^ --- Here she is, feeding a grumpy Cinna...perhaps Cinna is in a bad mood about it because she just became an adult today! She's probably thinking she's all grown up now, and doesn't deserve this kind of treatment...if only the milk didn't taste so dang good. xD This was when I was noticing Suzu didn't look so good, and sure enough, the fever hit hard a little while later. --- Suzu's been doing a lot of sleeping since she got really sick. But I'm keeping her comfy with lots of plushies, making sure she has plenty of medicine in her, and orange juice...all we can do now is wait. Cinna is worried about her friend. She'll be okay, don't worry!

Thank you! The fever lasted longer than it does with most of my Babyz...it was a rough one! But she finally got over it about 15-20 minutes after I posted, so she's already feeling much better and ready for more fun! <3

In my other thread, we recently had a little Borzoi pup be born. He's out on his own today, and since Suzu is feeling much better and is in the mood for more play and sunshine, I decided to let them meet! --- On an unrelated note...Cinna has discovered the joy of auto rolling balls! xD I'd say she's nuts for them because she seemed especially thrilled when I brought one out...but Petz are always hyper-focused on those, so I don't actually know for sure if it's a favorite toy, or just one she's programmed to not look away from. xDDD But it kept her busy for a while, especially when she caught it and tried to wrestle it, LOL! --- As a bonus, look at Suzu's determined little face!! xD She actually tried standing for the first time today! I tried to help her, but she kept falling and just couldn't do it this time. But it won't be long...and soon, it's all she'll want to do!! xD

This is such a cute thread... I love lookalike petz - I have mutts and tabbies that both fit that category, and I adore them! I think it honestly might be because I have an easier time bonding with 1st gen petz?? Who knows!
Anyway, I've always loved this kind of petz & babyz combo thread; I really wish they could actually meet, but I have so much fun reading the little stories people come up with for them... It takes me back to Ye Olde petz days of like 2005 and I love it <3
Good luck, Suzu, on learning to stand!

I have a soft spot for 1st gen Petz myself, and also find they almost seem to have more personality, sometimes?? I don't know, maybe my luck's just gone that way. xD So I do enjoy Petz that look rather simplistic, or like 1st gens. They're still quite cute to me! And thanks for the luck! So far Suzu hasn't grasped it yet, and keeps giving up...but, she DOES keep trying every so often, so hopefully she'll get it soon! Also, speaking of Petz who look like 1st gens... --- So today when I was trying to get a picture of Cinna to use...Bami came out on her own and introduced herself to Cinna! And, they hit it off! They're quite the cute pair! I adore Bami...she looks almost entirely like a regular black lab, but she has scruffier ears, shorter legs and a longer body! xD She's just overall a very cute spin on a black lab! You can see her body shape better in her crew site pic! She's also still very new. She's a very adorable breeding reject, and hasn't really made any friends yet. Until today! Pallio is showing off his new trick he learned, and Suzu's just enjoying her furry friends! xDD EDIT: Almost forgot...here's the other picture I was tempted to use for Cinna and Bami, because it's also adorable:
