I don’t know if this has been said before, or not, but why just have cats that you can add to your home instance? That only really feeds into one group of people, cat people. I personally wouldn’t spend even 1 copper to get these cats in my home instance, but if I were given the opportunity to add puppies, or full grown dogs to my home instance I would blow through whatever gold it took! Please?!

It’s because cats were once worshiped as gods. They will not let us forget this. A cat is making me type this right now.

Because ArenaNet kitten loves kittens and decided to kitten players who are allergic to kitten cats by kitten adding only kitten kitten for the kitten home instance

P.S. I didn’t use swear words, I inserted all the kittens myself. Kitten awesome, right? (runs away traumatized by too many cats occupying my home)

I want rabbits, lots and lots of rabbits! And while we are at it, why no ranger pet rabbits? In beta I got my butt handed to me by a rabbit and I would love to see a rabbit pet turn around and kick an enemy backwards. Rabbit kick knock backs for the win! And rabbit mini pets? Yeah, I know we have the jackalope but in GW1 we had honest to goodness rabbit minis, brown, white and celestial! I could turn in to a rabbit with my rabbit potion and run around with my pet rabbits, it was epic! We need more rabbits.

Why do I feel like i want a salad or a carrot now?

Gaile, if your being held hostage by “the cat”, just wave 3 times to any player in game. I am sure someone can hide you out in their guild hall until it’s safe. ;-)

I love this little home instance thingy! though it would be fun to see a dog or other animal ripping through there…the frog hopping about with the PvP cats is a total hoot; and there is the cub (too cute) and the snow ball kitties. Totally awesome the way the devs made it interactive so the cats followed you if you had the snowball. I hadn’t realised the collection had been expanded so I need to go back and pick up some more.

Dogs and cats will handle a crisis in the family differently. Cats are analytical and dogs are not. This means cats are better in handling situations.

Proof.
Attachment 1) a crisis in a home and how it’s handled by the family dog and cat
Attachment 2) a picture showing how vicious the family dog can be

Maybe because cats are hosts of Toxoplasma Gandii, “one of the most common parasites in developed countries”, that can perform mind altering magics benefiting cats.

“Because T. gondii can sexually reproduce only within cats, they are defined as the definitive host of T. gondii. All other hosts – hosts in which only asexual reproduction can occur – are defined as intermediate hosts.”

As an asura player, I disagree. Only 60% of all intelligence, culture and sophistication on Tyria comes from the charr. The other races do provide some.
