I'm thinking it is a sickness

I was talking to a guildmate the other day, and mentioned that while I am keeping a slot free for Loque, I was thinking about freeing Gutripper for another pet. I don't play with her very much, as she requires a little too much micromanagement in PVP and I like my cats for soloing. In fact, right now she's at level 75 only because I pulled her out of the stable when I hit 80. That seems unfair, and I think she deserves to be free.

So we were talking about pets I'd like to try, and at some point, I said, "I'd really like another cat, but that's stupid. If I get Loque, that would be four cats."

And then he pointed out that I don't raid or even PVE on Ideale, cats are perfectly good pets, and if it fits her RP, why not?

There are pets I'd like to try — I'd love to give windserpents and hyenas a shot — but there are so many cats in the game that I love, and since Cinny hit 80 and is taking a well-earned rest, I pulled out Saffron and have completely reconsidered my earlier plans to abandon her. I love my cats, they're perfectly serviceable battleground pets, and if it's silly to have three and maybe someday four cats on my only end-game hunter, well, it's a game. And I will play it how I want.

Besides, Ideale is totally a cat hunter. My other hunter, Daj, who will someday be leveled to at least 39, is high enough to tame a hyena and half a level from being able to grab Arikara, so I can play around on her. But I know what I like, and that's kitties, so kitties I shall have.
