So, please excuse how HORRIFICALLY overdue this is!! I was literally working on these graphics the night the house fire happened...it was the last thing I was doing on my computer, editing these to upload them that evening or the following. This was supposed to go up in JANUARY and as such, most of these images are older now.
But these Petz are important to me, and to someone else...and I was able to recover them and all the images from the fire, so I figured I'd pick up where I left off. I finally had the time to sit down and finish these...and here they are!
At the beginning of the year (or end of last year, right in that area) smonikkims reached out to me. She told me she really wasn't playing much Petz anymore, and didn't really know what to do with her crew of Petz. She felt she might want some still, but also might want to return some, and just sounded like the struggle of not knowing what to do was keeping her even FURTHER from Petz. In the end, she asked me if I would take in her crew and either look after them, or take care of returning them.
I agreed, and what I chose to do was keep them and look after them...and potentially return them to her someday. If she comes back to Petz and is absolutely hurting for someone, I wanted to be able to tell her "Well I still have that pet right here waiting for you! Here, I'll send them over!" rather than saying "Well they had to be returned and I have no idea where they are anymore." So I reached out and contacted as many of the original breeders/hexers as I could find, (except for those who already stated MPAing is okay) letting them know about this unique situation, asking if they minded if I either kept the Petz if Smonikkims doesn't want them back, or simply keep them until she someday does.
And it looks like everyone more or less checked out okay! On top of that, I wanted those hexers/breeders and Smonikkims to know that I do think these Petz are special, and I'll look after them! So, here's some pictures of Smonikkims' old group that are now sticking with me...whether for now, or for good!
I did have to change some names because I already had some Petz with names that hers came with. I tried to keep their names as close as possible to the originals though, as I didn't truly want anyone's names to be replaced...just lengthened/shortened, or reshaped in a way we can still use the original names as nicknames. But I didn't want multiples with the same names to risk overwriting anybody, so this was the safer method. I hope that's okay!!
BTW uploading these large images with my motel's crappy internet connection was not fun. I can't wait to upload the images for my next two showoffs...sigh...
---
First is Apricots (bred by jesi @ shotglass ) and Texas! (Formerly Apricot and Tex...but we can still call them as such!) For some reason, Apricot was always standing out to me whenever Smonikkims posted pictures of her. <3 She's just so uniquely pretty, and always seems to have such personality to her. xD I mean, she IS a Meezer, they always have quite a bit of sass to them, so it's not too surprising! But she's just...special, somehow! I can't quite put my finger on it. I love her smooth coat and puffy tail, and neat colors!
Tex, though he looks simple and possibly plain to some, has a unique beauty all his own. The fact that he's almost entirely solid orange, right down to the gold, almost orange eyes...that alone makes him look pretty fabulous! He's got the big sweet Oshie cheeks too, but he's not a nervous boy at all xD He's also got a bit of spunk and goofiness to him...and when comparing the two's personalities, it's not too surprising that they fell in love! Apricot arrived here with their kitten still with her, not yet able to come out on his own yet...you'll see him lower down later!
But yeah, these two are such familiar faces to me, and are so full of fun...I'm kind of nuts for them already! <3
Matthews (previously just Matthew, bred by Bryk) and Sweetcheeks...it's been so long, I can't remember how it happened. I believe I was playing with one, and the other came out...and they INSTANTLY started flirting!! Did these two have a previous relationship? I don't know, but either way, they sure are happy they get to stay together!! They had Minka, who I have been naturally raising...and honestly, she's the cat I was most scared for when the fire happened. I couldn't remember if I backed up Sweetcheeks' file after she'd had Minka...I thought I did, but I wasn't sure. (I still don't know...I haven't checked my backup drive, but it doesn't matter since I was able to get her file from my main computer xD)
So I'm very relieved that she's okay! Anyway, Matthew is quite beautiful! I love his autumn colors and light colored eyes so much...and something about Sweetcheeks' gingerbread colors, frosting tail tip and reddish eyes makes her seem so Christmasy to me!! She's like a little Christmas cookie!! And she's both so precious, and so silly and feisty at the same time xD I love her! These two are quite the sweet and beautiful little couple!!
Minnerva, now with an extra N, is a bit of a wild card. I'll admit, Miss Ann Thrope , her breeder, has fallen off the face of the earth. We used to be very good friends, (I still consider her a friend too!) but...the last I heard from her was over a year ago, and her health wasn't very good. (It worries me...I hope she's okay!) So while I did reach out to her about Minnerva, I've still heard nothing from her. She's supposed to be returned, but I know for a fact that she will sit in her inbox indefinitely if I send her back right now...so I decided to keep her until told otherwise. I feel a little guilty about making this decision, but I know Miss Ann Thrope wouldn't mind, since we were friends...and I'm not really causing any harm. I just want to take care of this kitty, rather than let her be forgotten about.
She's also right up my alley, color-wise. xDD Dusty with pink eyes...my gosh she's absolutely dreamy! And so adorable and hilarious...Chinchillas are so great! xDD And she looks amazing in anything pink! <3
Sweetstuff was bred by shebaatje , another Petz player who seems to have vanished. But even still, I reached out asking about Sweetstuff. At first, I heard nothing...but VERY recently (like within the last month?) I heard back, and got permission to look after him! And I'm so glad because oooh he's so cute!! So sweet, soft and snowy, and just somehow so perfect!! He makes me smile when I play with him, and he's so much fun! I'm very thrilled I get to take care of him, either for good, or until he goes home again! <3
Chaplin and Chestnut (whose name extended to Chestnut Grove!) are bred by Lovecraft ...and here's the one remaining person I've yet to really get in contact with. Lovecraft, if you see this...I tried emailing you a couple months ago about these boys, but never got a response. I'd like to know if it's alright to keep them, in case Smonikkims wants them back someday. If she doesn't...I'd still love them, as I'm kind of addicted to these dreamy boys...but if you'd prefer them sent back, let me know where to email you, and I'll do so! I might have gotten the wrong email address!
That said, here's hoping they can stay! These boys are beautiful beyond words, and in typical Calico fashion, are just the best kind of happy, goofy Catz you could ever hope for! xD They remind me why Calicos are a favorite personality of mine...they are just the embodiment of pure joy! Happy as can be, no matter what, and you can't help but smile when you play with them!
These two bring a lot of smiles and laughs, and are also quite fashionable! They look good no matter what they wear, and are always keeping the other Petz on their toes...there's little time for relaxing with their energetic games to play, haha!
Oh man...I have to say, I might feel like I was just the luckiest ever when I saw French Rose. ;-; She's hexed by Thor , and from the very first moment I saw Smonikkims showing her off, I was just IN LOVE. One of the prettiest Poodles I've ever seen and I was just absolutely melting over her. And I felt like I was holding my breath while waiting on Thor's response to whether or not I could keep her...I couldn't believe it when she said yes! So...French Rose gets a lot of gushing and reminding of how utterly beautiful she is...I could almost swear she knows it too, as her Poodle posing seems ever so slightly more proud, if that's even possible...
Sage is from Bunni , and I can't believe I didn't have a pet with that name...because I love that name!! o.O Must have been meant to be his! I'm thrilled I can keep him too, because come on...who wouldn't want a spotty little Poodle plush like him?? He looks like a stuffed animal!! <3 He's a snobby boy though, and isn't too interested in French Rose, or Apricot, who wanted to come say hi to him. x'DD
Oh man, these two!! It feels so weird to have them! I feel like ANYBODY who knows Smonikkims knows one or both of these Catz! They were always in her avatars, always being shown off...they are practically literal pieces of her by now!!
Bianca (whose name extended to Lady Bianca) is just such a beautiful, sweet girl, and I find myself wondering sometimes if she misses Smonikkims...that's the only person she's ever known, after all, and it must feel so strange to suddenly be somewhere else! Or maybe it's that nervous Oshie personality talking. xD Either way, I gave her lots of petting, treats, and am looking to find her some friends to make her feel more at home. I told her not to worry...she can have two homes! She can be with either of us, and visit the other whenever she likes! Either way, she'll never be alone. I loved watching her get braver when I brought out the treats, haha!
Promise, (whose name was lengthened to Promises) was another I felt would have to be returned, for sure. But after contacting delighy and explaining the situation...I was allowed to keep him and look after him! I'm quite surprised, and also very thrilled, because I adore this file and missed out on it...and Promises might be one of my favorite customs! He's just so bright and beautiful...I'm very happy to get to know and enjoy him, whether for a long time or a short time! There was much gushing over how adorable he is in pretty much every action he does. x'DDD
And speaking of delighy ...these two cuties were also bred by Delighy! <3 And they also had to have name extensions. xD I just added the 'flavor' in front of their original names, nothing much changed!
But man, regarding Ice Cream...LOL! There really has been some back and forth with her! I initially bought her from Delighy's PUGS shop...or maybe won her in an auction? Either way, I learned later that Smonikkims had had her eye on her, and really loved her. I forget how the exchanges went, or why they did...but after getting the okay from Delighy, I decided to adopt Ice Cream out to Smonikkims instead! I still loved her, and said I'd LOVE to have her back if she decides someday she doesn't want her anymore, but I had a feeling Smonikkims would really love and spoil her. And she really did! <3
And now, she's suddenly back with me! It's nice seeing my girl again, and I love that Birthday Cake got to come with her! The two are absolutely beautiful together, and they're just so sweet and mellow! Yet they like to goof around quite a bit too. xD These two are just so precious!

From here...are the graphics I made the other night, using the old images from January. Everything ABOVE this point has been ready to show since January...
I don't know why I think that matters to say, but there you go. x'DD
---
Babies!! So there's Tucker (whose full name is Little Tucker now) who was Apricot and Tex's baby that came with Apricot! I'm naturally raising him, and by now, he's bigger than these images, but not fully grown. I've only just recently resumed doing this, so he's only made a little progress, but I hope we will face no more interruptions!!
I love his Oshie coat, and how he's a scared little Oshie...yet also runs with his nose in the air. xDD It's like he tries to be brave and snobby, but underneath is so sensitive. <3 He has befriended Jido, one of my Poodle puppies (I guess to go with his pretend snobbish personality xD) and he also does tricks! He's a little character and is quite a cute little kitty!
Minka...I actually took her pictures just the other night! She was only recently able to come out on her own, and now she's finally on the road to growing up naturally! Do you suppose she'll be a normal sized cat, or a mini? I could see her going either way! She has such a cute personality, I can't stand it!! xDD I love those head tilts and all the flopping, LOL! I love her little Tabby face too!! I'm looking forward to watching her grow!
Here's a couple of beautiful Russian Blues, or Calico Russians! Mistily (previously Misty) was actually bred by me as a Christmas present for Smonikkims! I still remember how long and hard I tried to get pretty much exactly this cat!! xD It was quite challenging, because my Petz rarely seem to want to throw a face stripe AND chest patch, like Smonikkims said she preferred, and there were SO MANY leftover Catz afterwards LOL! But it was fun and me and some other friends got to pick from the leftovers, so everyone enjoyed that breeding spree.
Misty makes me think of an early Christmas morning...perhaps a cold one, where mist is settling over the early day. She's festive and exciting, yet in a calm way, if that makes any sense. I don't know, perhaps I'm just being weird, haha! But I love her colors, I love the memories of trying to get her, I love how playful and fun she is...she's such a good girl. <3
Young Sir is from Arie , and like with all my Russian Blues now, I did fix his pupil size to be a tad bigger. Hopefully it's okay! I think it's the way Russian Blues were supposed to be, and it looks much nicer. He is just handsome as can be, and maybe I'm giving him a big head by letting him wear that crown, but does it not suit him?? He's just so regal looking!! I love his slightly smaller size too! <3
Honestly, this one might surprise even Smonikkims!! When I was clearing out her backup folder of Petz she'd adopted from me...I noticed Coconut (now Coconut Grove) sitting in there! midnightwolf hexed these some time ago, but if memory is correct, he gave me the file and let me hex custom colors he could then adopt out. Which is how I had a copy of Coconut...I hexed that variation. I asked MidnightWolf about this pet, and he said he hadn't really done anything with it, and didn't mind if I wanted to keep him, so...Coconut Grove stays with me, and has reconnected as a part of Smonikkims' crew now living with me! xDD
I have my own kitty from this file...tempted to introduce them, but that never goes well so I just haven't yet. x'DD Coconut is a goof though! He's quite handsome and photogenic and always seems to be taking good pictures! He's a sweet boy, and loves to play and hunt!!
Primrose (whose name extended to Lady Primrose) is another pet I didn't expect to be allowed to keep! She was hexed by Queenie, who I don't believe has an account on RKC. She's another pet I was quite impressed by!! The way the flower and eye textures are being used to look like perfect flowers or gemstone eyes...it's honestly very impressive, and the file is quite beautiful! Queenie allowed me to look after Primrose, and I've had fun getting to know her, and see her move around in-game! She's on the go almost constantly! xD She wants to be doing things and chasing things!!
Here are some more very pretty babies I was surprised I could keep! Blue Bamboo was hexed by Ilyana , and the rules stated MPAing was okay, so he's been allowed to stick with me! He makes me realize you really don't see a lot of hexed Tabbies! And he's just so unique and pretty...he's another I'd really adored from Smonikkims' crew! I'm very happy to get to know him, and his goofy self!!
And the next one is from pinto ! And this one...I am sorry, I did change this boy's name the most. His name was Spitz...and I could really only hear "spit" from it...and it just didn't sound nice to me when looking at such a pretty cat. I tried to come up with something that used similar letters but sounded cute...and somehow I came to Spindle. xD I really rather liked it, so that's what we went with. I hope that's okay!!
I actually thought between the name and Alley looking ears that he might be an Alley personality, but he's not! He's actually a Tabby, like Blue Bamboo! I really like the unique shape, fluffiness and textures this file uses, and I thought for sure Pinto might want him back...but I'm really glad I get to enjoy him until Smonikkims reclaims him...or doesn't. But either way, he's here for her like the rest! He loves his new crown though. x'DDD
Nea, previously Niamh, had another slightly bigger name change...though I tried to make it a nickname for her original name. I REALLY struggled to keep it close, because I had so many pet names already similar to hers. (I had a Niamh, and a Nia...) I was running out of ways to make the name work. xD This was the best I could do. I still refer to her as Niamh, and really just use Nea as a nickname. But did you know she could do tricks?? I taught her how to belly flop!! LOL Didn't expect her to learn that, and it amused me way too much. x'DD
She's a smart girl, and despite her Oshie nerves, she's actually quite a brave girl! She's not too scared to try most things, but the camera still tends to freak her out. xD She's so pretty! I love her colors, and how she looks almost decorated or/and painted somehow...she's just very pretty, and not what you'd expect when you bring her out to play! I love her, and see why Smonikkims did too!!
And oh my goodness, Sacha! (Whose name was extended to Sir Sacha!) He's from Arie , and while she said she might have kept him if he'd been returned, she still let me have him! And he's another I'm kind of thrilled about...he is my weakness! Black and dusty with pink eyes!! And on top of that, such a unique shape, and endearing personality! He really is so fun, so charming, so lovable in every way...I feel lucky to have him!! <3
Rouge (now Rouge Tint) is ALSO from Arie , and is this adorable, wintery looking Persian...with a hint of spring coming through, with those bright pink eyes! She's about as sweet and mellow as snow and spring, but once the treats come out, she's wild and goofy! It's such a contrast to her usual softness that it's actually pretty funny to watch!! She has such a sweet and feminine look to her somehow...I had fun with pink accessories xDD
Okay seriously though, how handsome is Uzuki?? He's another I already really loved, just because he's so wintery and nice looking...he even has big paws, like snow boots, to complete the winter look! He's also very photogenic and we got lots of cute pictures of him! He's also quite fabulous in his new crown, haha!!
And lastly, we have these two sweet girls! <3
Snoozes is from Kaelci, whose name I don't recognize and she doesn't seem to have an account here. But MPA was in the rules, so Snoozes is good to go with me! I actually really like her colors and markings!! I love her ringed tail, her Alley ears, teeny size and soft blue eyes! She's just such a sweet little thing!
And Sweetpea is from Batspam! Her simplicity makes her stunning to me...I love that she's tiny, white and fluffy like a little snowflake, but has those beautiful orange eyes that stand out so strongly! She's also very sweet and playful, and I've been having fun playing with her! <3
---
SO YES. I played with these guys quite a bit before the fire...and haven't had much chance since, but as I'm slowly working my way back into my old Petz routine, I'm going to spend some more time with these guys, and many others. <3 I adore them and am very happy I get to take care of them. Whether for now, or for good, they'll at least always have a home one way or another!
Smonikkims, if you come back and want anybody back...whether to simply visit, or to keep, no matter if it's within days or years, let me know. Your Petz will always be here for you. ^^ Thanks for letting me help look out for them for you!
But these Petz are important to me, and to someone else...and I was able to recover them and all the images from the fire, so I figured I'd pick up where I left off. I finally had the time to sit down and finish these...and here they are!

And now, she's suddenly back with me! It's nice seeing my girl again, and I love that Birthday Cake got to come with her! The two are absolutely beautiful together, and they're just so sweet and mellow! Yet they like to goof around quite a bit too. xD These two are just so precious!

From here...are the graphics I made the other night, using the old images from January. Everything ABOVE this point has been ready to show since January...
I don't know why I think that matters to say, but there you go. x'DD

Babies!! So there's Tucker (whose full name is Little Tucker now) who was Apricot and Tex's baby that came with Apricot! I'm naturally raising him, and by now, he's bigger than these images, but not fully grown. I've only just recently resumed doing this, so he's only made a little progress, but I hope we will face no more interruptions!!
I love his Oshie coat, and how he's a scared little Oshie...yet also runs with his nose in the air. xDD It's like he tries to be brave and snobby, but underneath is so sensitive. <3 He has befriended Jido, one of my Poodle puppies (I guess to go with his pretend snobbish personality xD) and he also does tricks! He's a little character and is quite a cute little kitty!
Minka...I actually took her pictures just the other night! She was only recently able to come out on her own, and now she's finally on the road to growing up naturally! Do you suppose she'll be a normal sized cat, or a mini? I could see her going either way! She has such a cute personality, I can't stand it!! xDD I love those head tilts and all the flopping, LOL! I love her little Tabby face too!! I'm looking forward to watching her grow!
Here's a couple of beautiful Russian Blues, or Calico Russians! Mistily (previously Misty) was actually bred by me as a Christmas present for Smonikkims! I still remember how long and hard I tried to get pretty much exactly this cat!! xD It was quite challenging, because my Petz rarely seem to want to throw a face stripe AND chest patch, like Smonikkims said she preferred, and there were SO MANY leftover Catz afterwards LOL! But it was fun and me and some other friends got to pick from the leftovers, so everyone enjoyed that breeding spree.
Misty makes me think of an early Christmas morning...perhaps a cold one, where mist is settling over the early day. She's festive and exciting, yet in a calm way, if that makes any sense. I don't know, perhaps I'm just being weird, haha! But I love her colors, I love the memories of trying to get her, I love how playful and fun she is...she's such a good girl. <3
Young Sir is from Arie , and like with all my Russian Blues now, I did fix his pupil size to be a tad bigger. Hopefully it's okay! I think it's the way Russian Blues were supposed to be, and it looks much nicer. He is just handsome as can be, and maybe I'm giving him a big head by letting him wear that crown, but does it not suit him?? He's just so regal looking!! I love his slightly smaller size too! <3
Honestly, this one might surprise even Smonikkims!! When I was clearing out her backup folder of Petz she'd adopted from me...I noticed Coconut (now Coconut Grove) sitting in there! midnightwolf hexed these some time ago, but if memory is correct, he gave me the file and let me hex custom colors he could then adopt out. Which is how I had a copy of Coconut...I hexed that variation. I asked MidnightWolf about this pet, and he said he hadn't really done anything with it, and didn't mind if I wanted to keep him, so...Coconut Grove stays with me, and has reconnected as a part of Smonikkims' crew now living with me! xDD
I have my own kitty from this file...tempted to introduce them, but that never goes well so I just haven't yet. x'DD Coconut is a goof though! He's quite handsome and photogenic and always seems to be taking good pictures! He's a sweet boy, and loves to play and hunt!!
Primrose (whose name extended to Lady Primrose) is another pet I didn't expect to be allowed to keep! She was hexed by Queenie, who I don't believe has an account on RKC. She's another pet I was quite impressed by!! The way the flower and eye textures are being used to look like perfect flowers or gemstone eyes...it's honestly very impressive, and the file is quite beautiful! Queenie allowed me to look after Primrose, and I've had fun getting to know her, and see her move around in-game! She's on the go almost constantly! xD She wants to be doing things and chasing things!!
Here are some more very pretty babies I was surprised I could keep! Blue Bamboo was hexed by Ilyana , and the rules stated MPAing was okay, so he's been allowed to stick with me! He makes me realize you really don't see a lot of hexed Tabbies! And he's just so unique and pretty...he's another I'd really adored from Smonikkims' crew! I'm very happy to get to know him, and his goofy self!!
And the next one is from pinto ! And this one...I am sorry, I did change this boy's name the most. His name was Spitz...and I could really only hear "spit" from it...and it just didn't sound nice to me when looking at such a pretty cat. I tried to come up with something that used similar letters but sounded cute...and somehow I came to Spindle. xD I really rather liked it, so that's what we went with. I hope that's okay!!
I actually thought between the name and Alley looking ears that he might be an Alley personality, but he's not! He's actually a Tabby, like Blue Bamboo! I really like the unique shape, fluffiness and textures this file uses, and I thought for sure Pinto might want him back...but I'm really glad I get to enjoy him until Smonikkims reclaims him...or doesn't. But either way, he's here for her like the rest! He loves his new crown though. x'DDD
Nea, previously Niamh, had another slightly bigger name change...though I tried to make it a nickname for her original name. I REALLY struggled to keep it close, because I had so many pet names already similar to hers. (I had a Niamh, and a Nia...) I was running out of ways to make the name work. xD This was the best I could do. I still refer to her as Niamh, and really just use Nea as a nickname. But did you know she could do tricks?? I taught her how to belly flop!! LOL Didn't expect her to learn that, and it amused me way too much. x'DD
She's a smart girl, and despite her Oshie nerves, she's actually quite a brave girl! She's not too scared to try most things, but the camera still tends to freak her out. xD She's so pretty! I love her colors, and how she looks almost decorated or/and painted somehow...she's just very pretty, and not what you'd expect when you bring her out to play! I love her, and see why Smonikkims did too!!
And oh my goodness, Sacha! (Whose name was extended to Sir Sacha!) He's from Arie , and while she said she might have kept him if he'd been returned, she still let me have him! And he's another I'm kind of thrilled about...he is my weakness! Black and dusty with pink eyes!! And on top of that, such a unique shape, and endearing personality! He really is so fun, so charming, so lovable in every way...I feel lucky to have him!! <3
Rouge (now Rouge Tint) is ALSO from Arie , and is this adorable, wintery looking Persian...with a hint of spring coming through, with those bright pink eyes! She's about as sweet and mellow as snow and spring, but once the treats come out, she's wild and goofy! It's such a contrast to her usual softness that it's actually pretty funny to watch!! She has such a sweet and feminine look to her somehow...I had fun with pink accessories xDD
Okay seriously though, how handsome is Uzuki?? He's another I already really loved, just because he's so wintery and nice looking...he even has big paws, like snow boots, to complete the winter look! He's also very photogenic and we got lots of cute pictures of him! He's also quite fabulous in his new crown, haha!!
And lastly, we have these two sweet girls! <3
Snoozes is from Kaelci, whose name I don't recognize and she doesn't seem to have an account here. But MPA was in the rules, so Snoozes is good to go with me! I actually really like her colors and markings!! I love her ringed tail, her Alley ears, teeny size and soft blue eyes! She's just such a sweet little thing!
And Sweetpea is from Batspam! Her simplicity makes her stunning to me...I love that she's tiny, white and fluffy like a little snowflake, but has those beautiful orange eyes that stand out so strongly! She's also very sweet and playful, and I've been having fun playing with her! <3

SO YES. I played with these guys quite a bit before the fire...and haven't had much chance since, but as I'm slowly working my way back into my old Petz routine, I'm going to spend some more time with these guys, and many others. <3 I adore them and am very happy I get to take care of them. Whether for now, or for good, they'll at least always have a home one way or another!
Smonikkims, if you come back and want anybody back...whether to simply visit, or to keep, no matter if it's within days or years, let me know. Your Petz will always be here for you. ^^ Thanks for letting me help look out for them for you!
