message: Could somebody put in a reference to the definition for a "tamsin" at Starswept? It can be found here, but I don't know how to add a list of sources. That should help, though. *Still Calico (talk) 17:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Please stop removing it. Several people have reported or apparently experienced 'gay' petz, myself included. Whether or not you believe it is true makes no difference. If you have some sort of personal problem with homosexuals then please take it somewhere else. --Still Calico (talk) 18:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoa, hi Nicholas! Thanks for the info. That should put (somewhat) of an end to the 'Petz A' reasoning that a lot of people use to excuse homosexual petz. So, if I read what you said correctly, does that mean I was correct in my assumption that homosexuality only ever really occurs in just female petz, as I implied in the article note?
I have only ever experienced lesbian petz, and I was definitely wondering about that.
Thanks for clearing up some of the confusion. :) By the way, you're an awesome programmer, hehe. --Still Calico (talk) 18:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Female pets can mate, true, but it is the clear intent of the binary that homosexual relations be excluded, it can only happen due to a bug in the game. A game that intentionally included homosexual pets would be significant, and would definitely warrant a mention on the article page - parents might possibly be upset. As it stands, this probably isn't notable enough to make it to the article. --Thenickdude (talk) 02:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yes, of course. Even in the manuel it's made clear that homosexuality shouldn't occur in the game. Henceforth I'm not going to make a big section on it, but leave in a small sidenote about the glitch, hehe. By the way, could you possibly offer any information on things such as ANY possibility of cat/dog hybrids? Carolyn made a breedfile with exploding catz/calicoes in it a while back, but it was a dogz file. But even then I found I could only mate it (through Petz A) to other catz ... I'm still a bit baffled. --Still Calico (talk) 21:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I removed it a few minutes ago without checking this page, I just felt that is was irrelevant, and having had literally hundreds of Petz I have never, ever seen this occur - I assume that it is extremely rare. I am guessing that Petz A was blamed because so many people have it, it's likely that it mostly occurs with people with Petz A. I'm not sure if I should undo my edit or not since it is under discussion. I think I will review and edit it. I don't think it belongs in Petz life cycle, I'll put it up before that.

text: Oh and in response to your question about cat/dog hybrids, Catz and Dogz cannot breed because they draw from different files. As the article states, "Dogz and Catz cannot breed together as they rely on different base files that determine their movement and behaviour." People can hex hybrids, but they would have to base it off either a cat or dog. The only way I can think of to have cat/dog hybrids would be to hex dogs that looked like cats or vice versa. Then they could breed because the game knows that they are all dogs and treat them as dogs. So you can have Petz that look like cats breeding with dogs, but the cats would all behave as dogs and move as dogs. Does that make sense? Anyway, that's my understanding of it.

replies: text:  Solloby, that's correct. The game has a set of animations for dogs and a set of animations for cats. These define the shape of the animal's body. They both use quite different ball numbers, so you can't just have a "blend" between the two species.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenickdude (talk • contribs) 01:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

text:  Yes, I'm quite aware why dogz and catz cannot breed, being a hexer and a player of the game for 5-6 odd years, lol. However, I wasn't referring to cat/dog breeding; I was referring to the 'crazy' calico or something odd that Carolyn Horn hexed a couple years back. It's actually called calico.dog, has the looks of a calico but acts completely crazy, but (using Petz A) it could only be bred with catz. I was just wondering if any of you had any idea about how Carolyn might've done this or offered more info on the files, since I know there are quite a few very experienced hexers lurking somewhere out there. *smile* Here is the source--http://boardwalkerz.com/carolyn/carolyn.htm If you go down to the bottom of the "Mad Scientist" page and download the "insane calico" file, you'll see what I mean! Also, thanks Solloby for putting it back in. Where do you feel it would be better off? I thought it should go under the breeding since lesbian catz actually produce babies (somehow)... LOL! *Still Calico (talk) 19:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jargon section 

message: I removed the following because it is poorly written despite spelling/grammar edits already, so I thought I'd dump it here incase someone with the games in question feels like rewriting it and readding it to the article. 
Wii/PS2 Catz/Dogz
The game starts when the player chooses a satisfactory breed of cat/dog to their taste, which is also unable to breed or be hexed. In the game, your family (consisting of you, Mother Ione and Father Arvin) protect the Magic Hat, a mysterious hat with the patterns of the sky on it's surface. Evil white wolf, Ivlet, who is in Pawville jail, tricks you and your best friend into giving him the Magic Hat, and chaos reigns.Wild animals attack cats/dogs and buildings destroyed. Abilities are gained in your travels and can be used during quests in the game, including the ability to shift rocks, catch fish, bugs and wild animals, ride creatures and stun them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solloby (talk • contribs) 04:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't realise it was pasted here, I thought this article was just for the old Petz series. So now that sort of info is on Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2. And you know it says it's in need of attention from an expert on this subject... I'm not exactly an expert, but I do know how the whole Petz thing works (like what the games are in different countries and such). But I'm not sure what 'attention' really means. Can someone be more specific? Melon247 (talk) 15:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
