Zooby Animesh Cat

We now have cats at Aurelias Rainy Cafe! Zooby has just released the Animesh Cat, and if you like interactive pets, you’ll want to get your hands on these cuties for your Second Life. The animations are the cutest thing about these cats! I’ve rezzed two at the cafe, and they run around making realistic cat sounds.

Luna & Tiger, the Aurelias cats

Meet Luna and Tiger, the first Aurelias cats! The Zooby Animesh Cat has a variety of accessories that you can buy separately, for your cat to interact with — such as food bowls, beds, and litter boxes. The accessories are optional, so you don’t need to get them if you don’t want to. I bought my cats some food, but I don’t think feeding them will level them up or anything. You can also choose to not feed your cats, and they will still stay healthy, cos these are not breedables. You can also rez as many copies as you want to, they’re copiable.

Zooby Animesh Baby

I have always been an early adopter when it comes to new products on the grid. When I saw the promo videos for the Zooby Animesh Baby last week, I knew I had to have one! Ten years ago, I first blogged about Zooby babies; has it really been that long? The new Zooby Animesh Baby is interactive, adorable, and created by a brand that truly knows its customers.

Emily is the “Eden” model

Hello world, meet Emily! My future spoiled rotten toddler. She’s only a few days old, but she is already so stylish with brand new clothes and hair.

The Zooby Animesh Baby is $4,000L and includes so many options that it’s easy to redress it as different babies. For example, unlike the legacy baby, the new animesh baby includes a HUD to change skin tone, eye color, tint, and even the ability to buy extra skins for your baby. It works pretty much like mesh heads for your avatar, you can truly customize as more products are released.

Each baby includes a Zooby Animesh Baby HUD and Zooby Animesh Texture HUD. All the caring, rezzing, and clothes shopping is done through the HUDs!

There is a caregiver HUD available so you can assign caregivers and friends to help keep your baby’s happiness level up. Your baby will not die if you don’t do any caregiving (only in Second life!) but it’s an extra interactive feature that makes this baby so realistic. My friends have volunteered to look after my baby and keep her happy, cos I will go broke keeping her clothed! It truly takes a virtual village to raise a child, LOL.
