I did another breeding project like my Bobtail one, where I mostly just saw what I can get from two catz of the same kind.
I plan on doing another part for this, but for different eye colours! A pink-eyed Alley Cat has been in my sights for a while, and I don’t want to just hex one…
In the meantime, this stamp is going up on my Stamps page!

To celebrate the release of my files for the Emmunos and Evmunis, I made pixel art cliques of each variety!
Go get them on my Cliques page! I’ve added more from others’ sites too, since I found some new cool ones.

Because I tended to love fictional species from video games as a child, and loved to make them my own (re: Maskbunnies, BirdWorms, Îgplas, Emmunes), I’m going to add a new lore category for explaining how I envisioned these species!
Of course, you don’t have to follow the lore if you don’t want, but I imagine some of you would like to see my thought process behind these breedz and what they do!

One of my favourite pastimes in Petz was always training my petz to catch the mice. It was always integral to the Maskbunniez – I had a whole culture envisioned for them – but I still do it with other petz.
Included here are a version with the white mouse, a version with the grey mouse, and a version with the “mouse” symbol in Petz 4!
Head to my Cliques page to get them for yourself!

My university roommate challenged me to do a breeding project where the final result needed to fit these conditions:
This cat is Sneefer, and she fits the criteria pretty well, I’d say! You can’t see it in the stamp, but her feet (minus one black toe) and the second ball of her tail are white.
I found the traits!
I was going through my notes on my phone to find an old one when I came across the list of traits I was going to give the cat from the Thx Roomie breeding project!
It is as follows:
All in all, I’d say Sneefer turned out well!

I’ve already bred a black-eyed dog naturally, so this time I gave black-eyed cats a shot! This is Charcoal, and he’s a Siamese-Japanese Bobtail mixie. No funky cat breedz here—I was actually shocked to get him so easily.

I’ve been thinking of making a new Breed Update for the BirdWorm again, this time to add the stubby little wings the TK has.
The BirdWorm is absolutely perfect as is – I love the way they look like my pompom TKs – but I might add a possible body variation that has wings? Just because I do like the fetus-like shape the actual TK has.
As always, I’ll update if I do end up doing this variation, or if I just abandon it.

This new stamp is in honour of my successful(?) Japanese Bobtail breeding project! From one black and one orange cat, I got 16 unique and interesting mutations! Sadly most of the eyes were flukes…
As such, I figured I should probably commemorate the occasion that happened yesterday where I actually managed to breed a dog with black-244 inheritable eyes without the Voiddog file!
As with the others, this stamp can be found on my Stamps page.
I may or may not put these guys up as a download, we’ll see.

Visit the Catz section of my Crew page to learn more about her!

I’m adding a Crew page to my site soon! This way you can see all my strange creatures. I might divide it into pages for catz and dogz, and maybe for common breedz I like too.

My cheese-hating roommate and I have come up with the “cheese cult”, which is basically any pet that eats cheese regardless of favourite flavour. This is… a large number.
If you, too, want to have Petz join the cheese cult, you can get this clique from my Cliques page!

As a proud member of the queer community, I decided to make a bunch of these pride cliques! All of these are based on quirks of Petz coding I’ve encountered:

I have made 14 different cliques for your favourite range of “natural” Petz eye colour! Go grab the ones you want from my Cliques page!

I have mentioned before in the Voidpetz post that, though I’ve gotten fluke mutation black-244 eyes, I had never been able to get inheritable ones before outside of using that file.
As such, I figured I should probably commemorate the occasion that happened yesterday where I actually managed to breed a dog with black-244 inheritable eyes without the Voiddog file!
Of note is that Forceps here is part Tinybaby dog, but no Tinybaby has black eyes, and the specific kind that he’s got genes from is the blue with pink eyes!

I’ve made a page to put cliques I’ve joined and my own cliques I’ve made! Go check it out!

As I’ve just joined the Whiskerwick forums (and the RKC forums as well – I’m @/ivymercury on both!), I’ve decided to engage in a Petz community tradition as old as… well, not time itself, but 2016 – making Petz stamps!
There will be a new “Stamps” page under construction to reflect this!

I guess technically it's a kennel and a cattery, but eh.
I chose the name Hydrargyry, from hydrargyrum, Latin for "mercury" (that's why its atomic symbol is Hg!). My Tumblr username is "owlkhemy", like "alchemy", so I thought it was a good fit, even though it's not really reflected anywhere here on WP. That's also why the icon for my site has a mercury symbol (☿) in it!

I've just started a site here! Not that my Tumblr wasn't good, but it's nice to have something more official. Now I really feel like a proper member of the Petz community, lol.
Anyway, I'm Ivy! I've been playing the Petz series since I was a child. I've only ever played Petz 5, but I have plans to try out Petz 4 at some point simply because most of the Petz community focuses on it. Most Petz fans don't like 5, but it was practically my childhood.
