When to make a cat a Perma Pet and How?
Hi, I am new to breeding and am still learning the ropes. I just bread a beautiful Fur: Scrambled EggS! - Quiche. I love her, but I bred her to a dark chocolate abyssinian with odyssey Bellini eyes in both parents and three grandparents blue mink grand parents. She produced a Burmese Sable with Pink Ice eyes. I decided to turn her breeding off but want to keep her. I have seen people turn these beautiful collector cats into permanent pets that don't require food. How do I do that? Or is it to early to give up on breeding her? Here is the link to her kitten's pedigree:

and the link to her sire's pedigree

https://kittycats.ws/pedigree/pedigreeview.php?p=-1&cat_id=a228426

Advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Evo

Turning breed off halves the food consumed. Turning it back on involves a one-week delay for 'Pet Food Recovery' before it can begin breeding again.

The Perma-Pet pack is available in the Main Store.

The price for the pack drops once the cat attains 121 days of age. If you truly intend to cease breeding the cat, then you want to Perma-Pet it as soon as possible to stop wasting money on food. But, if you want to save money, turn breeding back on and continue making boxes until it's 121 days old and can no longer produce boxes (and the kit price drops).

The question is: should you bother with Perma-Pet at all? It can be cheaper to actually keep feeding the cat well past 121 days of age. For example, if you're only going to have it out for an annual one-month special event, simply starve the cat until one week before the event, feed it for that week and the four weeks of the event, then starve it for the remainder of the year. Doing this, you'll not spend more money of food than you would have on the pet kit for about .. IIRC .. a decade.

RE: When to make a cat a Perma Pet and How?
This may sound a bit harsh, but it's the cheaper route to permapetting. The perma-pet treatment also heals the cat if it is sick without you having to do anything else to heal it, so you can tuck it away in your inventory or your online cattery (if there is no food there) until it turns 121, and then permapet it at the lower cost without having to feed it until then. A lot of my permapets are actually sick collectibles that I've bought from people that were leaving SL or needed the money so I know this works. Of course, if you want it out, you can just leave breeding off until then and it eats 1/2 as much - or it's only L$300 more to do it before 121 days. The permapet lets you wake it whenever you want, with full energy, and I did it early with a toy-sized collectible so I could wear it on my shoulder and show it off whenever I wanted.

Regarding breeding - the pedigree links expire after 30 minutes so we can't see the ones you posted above, but it sounds like you already know that fur and eyes she's hiding. As you probably know, the fur on her is a costume, whic she can't pass and all her shown traits will be Genesis ones. I believe the traits are assigned when the box is first rezzed out in world, so, being an older collectible, she probably wouldn't have anything super new hiding. You could try to figure out other hiddens, but if you're not interested in what you've gotten so far, I'd probably stop spending the extra money on kibble.

Oh - the one thing you might check is whether those collectibles had special babies. They did - https://kittycats.ws/forum/showthread.php?tid=8232
It looks like the special baby is the "Deviled" bunny-eared one: http://kittycats.info/market?costume=Scr...%20Deviled

If you like the special baby, and want to go through the effort and expense to find a boy from the same collection (it can't be the special baby), the first time you put them together, they'll give you the special baby. After that though, they'll breed like regular starters.

Forgive me if this is a duplicate post. I am not only new to breeding but to the forum. Thanks again to both Tad Carlucci & Ms Magick for the wealth of information! I have already invested quite a bit in this new hobby and this information is very valuable. I appreciate you both for taking the time to respond so quickly and thoroughly to my inquiry. You both are such wonderful examples of this new community, and KittyCats hobby I am exploring.
