A *long* time ago while I was surfing one of my favorite sites, Download.com, I found the demo for a game called "Catz". The description sounded interesting, so I downloaded it (wow, it took forever, too!) The Catz demo allowed you to play for two 15-minute sessions, then you had to buy the full version. After my thirty minutes with Pouncer, Scaredy, Homebody, Sophisto, and Jester, I wanted to buy the game but my comp was really quite... eh, well, it was a 486, that's all I'll say ~grin~

Suddenly (can't remember when or where) I found Petz II at Computer City. Wow, the graphics were much improved! The Petz could play together! I had a better computer! Yes, I got Petz II, and loved it for a very long time... got the 10 new breed downloads (Maine Coonz were impressive, they taught the other Catz to walk on the screen)... then there was Petz 3.

Wow... Petz can BREED now? Woah! Forget the playpen, your Petz had n entire house to live in! I bought Dogz and my sister bought Catz, it was cool 'cause they came with beanbag Petz (Mutt and Persian.) The first thing I did was import Puddles the Mutt, my favorite pet. He and his mate Stardust (Dalmatian) had puppiez, and someday I'll put all of the family up here on the site. I also uploaded Lucky the Maine Coon, who you already know... It was SOOO COOOL! The Petz Community thrived on the goodness of Petz 3 for a while when Petz 4 rumors started floating around. People found the hidden downloads (Healthy Treats, Roach Motel) and some said there was a Collar and Leash, or a Horse breed... you should have seen the Petz Central classifieds board! "Will trade Horsez for Collar/Leash!" Of corse, none of those things actually existed... yet...

"Hmmm," I thought. "Why doesn't someone make a Horse breed?" So I did. Yes, I made the Clydesdalez, and they were a HUGE hit (Carolyn's horsez are much better ;) thus filling my email box with requests. The only place they were availible for download was Cloud 9 Kennels, which later shut down. So then there were more emails... I couldn't even check my Inbox because it wold crash my computer... and the Clydesdalez weren't even that good! So, for a long time I didn't play... there was nothing new... when Petz 4 came out, I was really excited, but I didn't get it until a couple of years ago when my friend gave me Catz 4. I still don't have Dogz 4, though, so I prefer to play Petz 3 (for other reasons too.) Recently, I have been playing again, and have FINALLY made this site, which has had a lot of names on paper... Area 51 Petz, Puddles' Petz Place, kittyCatz puppyDogz, and finally Meow Corp. Petz (which is an inside joke I don't care to explain right now.) It is so sad to see the once-thriving Petz Community in ruins... yes, it used to be HUGE. But finally, it looks like we have hope... I guess UbiSoft was tired of being attacked by angry Petz fans, and have announced Petz 5! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! It makes you wonder what kind of stuff they'll change, though... will they fix the programming so it's easier or harder for us to hex Petz?
