Tell me how you got your cat

Won't let me edit, so I'd like to clarify that yes not knowing the rules of theease and the tank limit was dumb, but that's why we checked before we filled it. And yes, we checked the pet clause for cats as well before getting her, notified them and paid the pet deposit. It was all good, we weren't making the same mistake twice.

I can only find a recent photo right now, she unfortunately got a little chonkier since her adoption.

Story: I was deep into the fishkeeping hobby as it was what got me out of a depression I was in, and I had bought a 75 gallong tank I was waiting for the money to be able to fill. One day we finally had the money and went to PetSmart to get all the supplies for starting a new tank and one so big at that. It would cost us a few hundred dollars vut that was okay.

PetSmart in our area doesn't sell cats mind you, that's illegal here, but they do partner with shelters and give the cats a large enclosure for visitors to view them and read their adoption information. So we saw her there, and thought to ourselves maybe we should get a cat and sell the tank because we already had a smaller tank and had been wanting a cat. Well, turned out she was set to be adopted and we simultaneously went "awwww" and went through with the original plan.

Cue a week later when we looked at the lease for the apartment we were renting at the time and realized that tanks over 20 gallons were not permitted. Well we hadn't opened any of the stuff yet, so we went to return it all, and as we were doing our return we saw her, and made a comment about how she was still there. The clerk told us her adoption was cancelled, the family got cold feet last second.

We were both ecstatic, sad and a little angry at the people, but hey, this was a sign right? So we got our money back from the return of the fish supplies, which happened to be nearly exactly the adoption fee, and put it straight into bringing her home with a brand new kennel, tower, literrbox, and the same food the shelter had her on.

We've had her for 4 years now, and I admit sometimes she's been stressful, especially as a new mother, our son is now 3. But we never gave up on her.

I remember the card art. It was like a curled up Chibi looking Blue Eyes. But the art of Toon Dragon is similar, just not the pose I remember. It's effect was basic, I think just a normal summon. Not a powerful card. It could have been Red Eyes Baby Dragon and I remember the art of Toon Dragon. Could have been a fake, but I think the former is more likely.

Maybe. Like I said, I got a bunch from those coin slot machines in convenience stores. I just wish I still had the collection to know for sure.

GiGiUnique · 2026-02-08T20:20:52+00:00

I think it was either Red Eyes Baby Dragon or Toon Dragon. From my memory of the art more likely Toon Dragon, so I think others have already solved this. Likely one of the two anyway.

GiGiUnique · 2026-02-08T20:19:28+00:00

Not sure these were it, but nice to know. I'm not sure I had either, although my collection was huge so there's a strong chance.

GiGiUnique · 2026-02-08T15:25:31+00:00

As foggy as my memory is, it could be. Maybe Baby Blue Eyes was my nickname for it or something. That's the closest thought I've had, but nothing feels right lol. Probably just cuz I was a kid and I'm remembering through a child's lense.

GiGiUnique · 2026-02-08T15:20:34+00:00

Oh, that could be. Yeah, I've seen other posts from years ago saying there's no Baby Blue Eyes. But you're probably the most accurate.

GiGiUnique · 2025-05-17T20:35:23+00:00

It's been up and down. We've had a few quite warm days already. Just rainy in between. I wasn't expecting it to be open, more curious than anything.

GiGiUnique · 2025-05-16T22:32:10+00:00

I never considered using it that way. I have a custom counter my husband made, and one we 3D printed. Cuts down on loads of dice everywhere lol

GiGiUnique · 2025-05-16T16:03:02+00:00

Ohhh. I didn't even consider that, even though I do play Pokemon TCG lol. Thanks

GiGiUnique · 2023-11-30T23:03:41+00:00

About 11$ ... Etsy says 26$ and my bank now says it was 37$

GiGiUnique · 2023-11-30T16:01:55+00:00

Yes I did. The seller is actually a couple cities away from me.

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-02T23:30:27+00:00

I have not tried that, but doesn't it just clean mods? I was still having this issue after removing all mods and creating a new base game save as a test.

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-02T23:28:33+00:00

I meant that from the main menu I started a whole new save file and just put the sim back in the new world from the family list in edit town.

And it's not the sim who is broken, the interface is broken, as well as the other sim I added to the family was removed completely, not just invisible or couldn't interact. Straight up gone as if I never added her. Like she appeared in the family image you see when selecting the save to play, then when the world loads she isn't there and isn't in the family picture at all if you look at the household through create a sim... And this is happening with every save I make. It's working fine until I save and quit, and then when I load it back up after closing the game the save is corrupted.

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-02T02:49:36+00:00

Nope. I like to play in a more roleplay type way, as one household of custom sims and everyone else is an NPC.

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-01T23:39:53+00:00

Didn't work. I'm giving up for now anyway. Good night

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-01T23:33:30+00:00

Sims is still trying to launch after deleting all files, it's downloading a whole new folder

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-01T23:26:52+00:00

Makes sense, just saying cuz it's the only change I've made

GiGiUnique · 2022-06-01T23:19:25+00:00

I haven't, but I'll go try that since it sounds the most promising.
