In celebration of the football season we thought what better way to celebrate then with a Football for your cats to carry about and play with.
Celebrate the Football Season with a WK Football
These Wild Kajaera Footballs will be available at the two main stores.
It has come to our attention that a real world company has contacted the owner of a web blog hosting a forum respectfully requesting they remove all references to their real world Trademark. While this real world company has yet to contact us directly, we feel it is our best interest and best interest of our users to change our name. It was never our intention to infringe upon the rights of any trademarked brand.
Over the next few days and you will see our name change to Wild Kajaera. Now you might be asking yourself, what’s a Kajaera? Well it is us, KAy JAE and RAndom all blended together to create a completely unique and wonderful word and our unique brand. We would like to thank all of you because it was with your words of what you liked about the cats that led us to this new name. You said you love the Cats, the Customer Service and the Company over all.
We know change is sometimes hard, but we hope that you will embrace this change as it is for the best for all of us going forward. Small changes will be the first noticed such as signs and logos.
We encourage all users to bookmark the new web site and delete any bookmarks or links to the old domain. Please rest assured your animals and items will continue to function normally while this transition takes place.
You may see your cat running around SL but yet your dashboard says they’re inactive. How can this be ? Well the term just means that the cat and the server are not communicating at the moment that the last time the server tried it got the 404 not found error. This is nothing really to worry about unless of course your Moxie is close to 60. The cats have a auto reconnect that will reconnect them to the server with sending a new message to the server saying basically where the cat is located. The reason that they go inactive can be many things and we can speculate on why it but it is simple something that happens.
Moxie effects a cats ability to breed if the cat is 60 or under pregnancy and heat gain will stop. This is why we advise watching moxie but moxie does not need to be at 100 and will take days to drop. We are watching this and trying to sort out how often the cats go inactive but at the moment feel that the balance is there with the amount of cats that may go inactive for a few hours being less then 1 %.
Some of you may have noticed that the pregnancy delivery time was starting to take longer. A cat would reach a 100 and sometimes be stuck in that state for upwards of an hour. While this is a short time in the reality of time it is a VERY LONG time when one is waiting and pacing the floor for that stork and the cub sack to appear. In order to help with the time arrangement we have made some changes to when Moms would move up to the the 100 grouping them together by species. Tigers being the biggest of the cats and the ones to maybe get more grumpy if a little cheetah got to go first so Tigers will move up to the 100 mark first and should be delivering the first little sack as the Cheetahs move up to 100. Then it is the Jaguars turn and the Cougars turn. This order is for the best to let the cats do there thing but you should see shorter wait times between the number in SL hitting 100 and the cat actually starting to hiss.
We will continue to try to make things run smooth and we thank you for your understanding as changes happen.
Alright this is getting rave reviews in world already but for those that have not had a chance to check it out we have added to the rarity calculator to calculate the total traits for you to make it a simple issue now to count your traits. Log in and check it out today!
If you had updated the Happy Teddy Bears in this last weekends update and reported an issue with them not showing the assigned name. Please update them again this has been fixed and your Bears now will show the name to which cat they are feeding Happy too.
This is MY Teddy go get your own
I am the lucky cat that gets spoiled with Happy Teddy 🙂 I am so happy 🙂 puuuuuurrrrrr
With the settling on a trait count one we really feel we can grow with as a company and as a community it was time to update the calculator. This is a few step process but the first of which is completed and that was to fix the few calculations that were not calculating right on the eye.
The calculation done now for traits are based on the Species (so for those that have asked if you are successful in getting a tiger eye on a cougar for example it will show more rare thus giving you your bonus). This will allow you to see the rarity based on a single species rather then on all the cats.
It is our goal to also add the calculation of the traits to the rarity calculator so that the process becomes even simpler. Stay tune we will let you know how as the process continues to unfold and to make it as pain free as possible.
Well yesterday was a ground breaking day for sure Jaed and I (Kay/ Queen) spent much of the day in conversation with a lot of you who had concerns and questions. It was like a great brainstorming session to us and while yes the Vote is in favoring the Newer system Jaed and My self and Random feel that there may be a better way yet to bring it all together and bring back the balance that we had.
The team has decided that a hybrid of sorts is what is needed and this WK Trait Guide is the result.
This Guide gives a base line to the cats as well as balancing out the Ear and Eye area giving benefit for new Eyes and Ears as they are unlocked. We really feel that it needs no explanation on how it gets figured and is pretty clear in its design so with no further delay. . . . . . . . .
Please Give a Warm Welcome to WK Trait Guide

Writing this post to help you all understand why the change was made to how cat traits are counted. Traits are like a guide to help you determine value and huge part of the value should come from rarity. If a item is rare and hard to find it should be of more value. In other breedables it is very hard to know how many of anything is out there other then lots of hours spent trolling the markets to see if others have something just like you. We provided you all with the rarity calculator which was hard to understand what the value was because you had nothing to measure it with. Now we have added the conversion on to it and your able to see how rarity can effect traits.
We know were asking you to change your way of thinking and this is not easy to do but we have been asking you to change your way of thinking since the beginning. We are not trying to upset you we are trying to ask you to look at this with a open mind and to see that yes with a little bit of work you will be able to have a much better system to understand the value a cat has especially when compared to all the cats out there by its same species.
So lets take a look at the new way off how to figure out a cat rarity.
| Rarity statistics for Animal id: 65447 ~ Wild Kingdom Cat | ||
| Species: Jaguar * 39 percent of all animals are Jaguar | ||
| Breed: US * 67 percent of all Jaguar are US | ||
| Trait | Name | Percent |
| Fur | Corn Silk~RedSpotted Nose | 3 % |
| Right Eye | Emerald | 17 % |
| Left Eye | Emerald | 17 % |
| Right Ear | Cupped | 17 % |
| Left Ear | Curved | 46 % |
| Tail | Natural | 80 % |
| Teeth | Natural | 95 % |
| Whiskers | Natural | 76 % |
| Glow | Natural | 100 % |
| Shine | Natural | 100 % |
| Scale | Natural | 91 % |
This is a randomly selected cat choose in from the most recent cats born it is a Jaguar so also one of the large groups of cats out there.
Looking at the new WK Rarity and Trait Guide chart we can go through this one step at a time.
Start in the lower right hand corner and we look at Breed and we have a 67 % on breed so this cat does not get the 1 point trait for being a new breed.
Fur this you will need to look at the cat to gets its Level being that most of you judge the fur based on its level we did not want to change this on you. This cats fur level is level 6 so this cat gets a Fur Trait count of 2.
Then looking for the stats that fall under 71 and we see that the eyes are 17 % and they are the same and a original from the Jaguar so we will count them one time at a trait of 4.
The ears are also different so this means we get to look at the counter twice once for each ear. The right cupped ear is a value of 17 % and that gets a conversion of 4 traits. Where the left ear gets a trait count of 2 because 46 % of the ears are this way.
These are now the count able traits
Fur 2
Eyes 4
Right Ear 4
Left Ear 4
For a grand total of 14 traits.
Does this mean that all cats have moved up in the base trait counting yes will they cap out at 22 no. If you read over this chart you can see what types will fall under each section and you can see a few have been added. Will we continue to add traits to the cats YES as they grow the more traits will be needed to make it continue to be fun for you to unlock more and exciting cats.
We felt that the traits needed away to grow with us and to work with you at building a strong more stable market. After all we want you to feel that you have a market you can depend on. Making this change now after giving you a period of time to see that the old counting way just really didn’t fit us because we had new traits to ad to be counted and where did they go and what was of more value then the others. Basing your value on a combination of rarity and traits really is the smart way to keep a strong market.
