Confession: I have recently started doing Second Life more often because of one reason and one reason only: Breedables! Meeroos are prairie dog/kangaroo critters who grow, breed, send out hearts, openly ask to be cuddled, and are absolutely addicting! For a small fee of 50 lindens for each nest, I was able to birth each of my three meeroos from their nests and set them up(with a trunk home and enough food for all three) in my second life home. My first meeroo is named I Love You Cutie Pie, second one is Melindarina, and my third is Buster. All three have the potential to breed, so I'm looking forward to finding one of the girls expecting any time. One of the most wonderful things about meeroos is that you can pet them and they can be picked up and cuddled! Their eyes draw you in. They're just soooooooooooooo adorable!
Ok, so the meeroos got me started, and then I started looking around for other breedables and came across....KittyCats!! The KittyCats breedable is truly unique in that the cats are absolutely GORGEOUS, they send out butterflies and hearts when they're happy or want to be hugged, they can be picked up and cuddled with a very adorable animation! I have two KittyCats at this time. My first I named Boo Boo and the second is Miu Miu. Because of the fact that I have scarce prims available, I decided to click off breeding ability so that they would only be pets. But they truly must be the most beautiful scripted animals on second life! Since finding about KittyCats, I have also found out about another breedable cat called WildWood cats. These cats are somewhat less interactive. The WildWood cats can't be picked up and cuddled, but they're very cute, a bit more cartoonish than the KittyCats, but I love the way the WildWood cats move.
So, what about dogs, you ask? I found out about BioBreed dogs recently. I decided I absolutely had to have a BioBreed dog, so I paid 25 lindens for a puppy box, clicked it to birth the dog and ended up with a very cute yellow lab! The BioBreed dogs are also less interactive than the meeroos and KittyCats because you can't pick them up, but you can set their home and they'll walk around and basically be very cute.
The only two aspects about breedables that are somewhat of a concern are a) food - Each variety of breedable requires to be fed on a regular basis. That's what I'm assuming the makers of these animals make most of their money on, since one can only buy food for each variety from the main store of each of the companies. b) prims - I own a Linden home which only allows for a limited amount of prims. I now own 7 animals and have gotten rid of all furniture and other items which take up prims. I'm in complete need of more prims and I am looking around.
All in all, breedables have truly made my experience in Second Life MUCH more fulfilling, enjoyable and fun! Plus, they're all just so incredibly cute!
