**Moonstone Cats** Flatsale Over! ~Grand Opening~

[Puddle of Ink]

No one is quite sure how the first Moonstone came to be. There have been many theories. We like to believe that the essence found inside the stones is of felines that have passed on. This is their rebirth sort of speak. It may seem morbid to some. I look at it as a new beginning. A chance at a life that is much different than before. It is up to you to decide how your Moonstone will thrive. Will it be a good choice? We shall see...



Luna is always here to watch over the shop, and to care for the little ones. She is very loving, but also very protective. Due to an undeveloped uterus she can not have babies of her own. This does not stop her from being "mom cat" to all.

[Puddle of Ink]

First Stage: Stone - Will last one week.
The beginning of life. The essence of a feline has entered into this moonstone. Leaving only a comet looking tail sticking out. Not much happens during this stage. Gender is unknown.

Second Stage: Comet - Will last two weeks.
The essence has grown tired of it's small home. It breaks free from the moonstone and begins inspecting it's surroundings. How you interact with your pet during this stage will determine the outcome of the kitten stage. Gender is still unknown.

Third Stage: Kitten - Will last one month.
The essence has taken it's first true feline form. Kittens are very curious, and will depend on you for guidance. How you interact with your pet during this stage will determine the outcome of the adult stage. Gender is finally known. Eye and body color are visible.

Fourth Stage: Adult - Will last forever.
All that waiting is finally over! Your pet is now an adult. They can now breed and have little stones of their own. Markings and/or mutations that may have developed during the kitten stage are now visible.

<3 Breeding Season <3

Love is in the air. The birds are singing and the bees are buzzing. Adult moonstone cats have that twinkle in their eye. What could all of this mean? It's time for makin babies giggity, giggity! [shot] It's breeding season of course! Please read all of the info below very carefully.

All female moonstones give birth to 2-3 stones each breeding season. Females are allowed to breed once per season. Males do not have a limit unless the owner decides to limit them. Stones from breeding will be posted on the pickup post. I ask that you hotlink the images so that I can age them easier.

Owners may ask for a breeding fee for the use of their pet be it male or female. Breeding fees are not to go over 5k. Doing so will get you banned from future breeding seasons. You may post your available pets in this thread, but only during breeding season!

To breed with someone else's pet(s) you must have their permission. They will need to post in the thread saying it's ok for you to use their pet(s). No permission posted means no breeding.

At this time only males and females may breed together. I may make an item later on that will allow same gender breeding. I'd like other peoples input on this before making my final decision.

A breeding form will be added once breeding season has started.

[Puddle of Ink]

All the stones from breeding season will be posted here. You will need to hotlink your images in order for them to grow!
