This guide is not official nor is it endorsed by CrowdStar or Happy Pets.

I, Jessica Rangol, am a Happy Pets player and have compiled this guide from information gathered from the Happy Pets community, Informational Posts from CrowdStar on said community, personal experience, and mathematical calculation based on breeding outcome.

It is the intention of this guide to provide direction to a new breeder who is trying to develop a diverse house full of cats with which to breed. I have not checked these statistics and information against other types of animals (in other words: Dogs, Dinos, Etc.) but it may be applicable there as well.

This guide assumes you have a working knowledge about computers and the internet. Certain information is omitted based on this assumption. If you need additional assistance, use the Happy Pets Community or Instant Message me via Facebook.

I will update this guide periodically. This is revision 1.0 released in January of 2011. Update notes will be found on this first page in future revisions.

As this is a guide pertaining to cats it is going to be assumed that you have chosen to work with cats. To successfully breed the first thing you must do is get neighbors. Lots of them. At least 40. You can accomplish this in a couple of days with a little time.

First : prepare your profile.

Are you using your regular Facebook profile to play Happy Pets?

Many users choose to create a dedicated profile just for Happy Pets. It makes it easier to communicate with neighbors, create social breeding/adoption/trade photo albums, and you can post freely about the game without worrying about annoying friends and family. This is a decision you need to make early on, as once you start leveling it is frustrating to start over.

Did you choose to have a dedicated Facebook profile to play Happy Pets?

Make sure your profile picture is Happy Pets related. This makes it easier for you to find neighbors and new neighbors to find you. Also it may be to your benefit to put Happy Pets in your profile name. For example: Jess’s Happy Pets. Some users just have their name set as Happy Pets. This makes them easy to find in friend search so you can quickly add them as a neighbor.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, familiarize yourself with:Being a Good Happy Pets Neighbor by Jesse Carson HEREHappy Pets Etiquette by Heather Froman HEREBefore Proceeding

At the top of your Happy Pets game screen click “Support”. If this is your first time accessing the Happy Pets community you will then be asked to “Allow”. Scroll down to the section named “Meet Other Happy Pets Players!” and click the forum link titled “Add me!”.At the top of the forum list click “New Topic”.

You need to have your profile completed at this point with a profile picture of some kind.

Be sure to include a subject line. Leave some information on why a new potential neighbor should consider you and keep it short. Click submit once done.

Second: Find Neighbors Via the Happy Pets Community

Page 7: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 3

Finding neighbors from the Happy Pets Community Continued.

Now you have gotten started. Next you need to go through a lot of the posts in the “Add me!” forum and open up the Facebook profiles of the people you want to add as neighbors in tabs in your web browser.

Once you have found 10 or so people you want to add, visit each of the tabs, click “Add As Friend”, then if the option is available click “Add a personal message…” (not all users enable personal messages from strangers). Then start the message with “Happy Pets” and a brief message about why you are adding them.

After doing several adds the send request button will move to the right and will change to say “I know *user’s first name+”. It will still be blue just watch the button and you will get through it all fine.

Third: Find Neighbors Via Gamer’s Unite

Go to www.gamersunite.com

From the Gamers Unite! Home page click “SEARCH GAMES…” and type in “Happy Pets” and click “Search”.

It will take you to the Happy Pets page. Click “ADD ME” then “Add Me Here!”. If you have never accessed Gamers Unite! Before it will ask you to allow F-Connect on two different screens and you will have to click “Add Me Here!” again. Put in a short message about yourself and click “Add!”.

Finding neighbors from the Gamers Unite! Continued.

Now you have gotten started. Next you need to go through a lot of the posts in the “ADD ME” section and hover over the users to see their message. When you find one you want to add, click “View Facebook Profile” which will open a new window where you can submit them a proper add request with a message.

Follow the same protocol as before. The message is an important step as it notifies the user what game you play (if they play multiple games) and increases the likelihood that they will accept your friend request.

Page 10: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Fourth: Find Neighbors Via Your Facebook Friends

Go to your Facebook homepage

From your Facebook homepage click “Account”. A drop down window will appear. Click “Edit Friends”. On the next page on the left hand toolbar click “Find Friends” then scroll down to the section called “People You May Know” and click “See All”.

Remember, not all the people who you have mutual friends with play Happy Pets. I tend to only send add requests to people who indicate they play either in their profile name or profile photo. Open the users you want to add in tabs and follow the same protocol as before, submitting an add request with a message.

Page 11: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 7

Go to your Facebook homepage

From your Facebook homepage go to the search bar at the top center of the page and type “Happy Pets”, then when it brings up the results scroll down and click “See more results for happy pets >”, on the next screen on the left hand toolbar click “People”.

Now a list of people on Facebook with Happy Pets in their name is displayed.

Open the ones you are interested in neighboring in tabs and send them a request with a message indicating you are interested in playing happy pets with them.

Fifth: Find Neighbors Via Your Facebook Friend Search

Page 12: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 8

Sixth: Add your new friends as neighbors

Load Happy Pets Game

Click on the “My Neighbors” tab in the Happy Pets game. Doing this I like to keep a little text document open so I can keep a list of all the people I am adding as a neighbor so that I may also send them an energy gift. Often if someone sees a neighbor request (NR) followed by an energy gift they are more likely to accept your request.

If you are only sending one NR the pending neighbor request will always show at the bottom of your list and you can easily send them a gift from there. It is only when you have many NRs to send that it is easier to do one gift send.

Click “Add *username+ as neighbor”.

Page 13: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 9

Adding Neighbors Continued

If someone does not accept your neighbor request after a full day (or longer) scroll down to their pending neighbor request under the “My Neighbors Tab” and click “Cancel Request” the “My Neighbors” section will refresh and the friend will be back at the top of the list of neighbors for you to click “Add *username+ as a neighbor” again.

Again you should send them a gift. This time you should load their Facebook profile and send them a private message requesting they accept your neighbor request. If they have requests for a shy pet on their Happy Pets wall try to fill that also as they will see your name associated with that blessing.

DO NOT: post a message on their wall asking them to accept your NR or post a screenshot of your pending neighbor requests with the offenders name tagged. Your communication with your potential neighbor should be private, not-demanding, and polite.

To breed good cat stock you must know what is available and what you want

While you are going through your neighbors houses getting coins from their piggy bank and using the laser on their pets look at their cats and see if there are any you are particularly attached to. Figure out what kind you like.

Four Standard Cat BreedsBelow we will go over the four breeds of cats, then we will go over some of the features.

Coat features

Here we will go over some of the more common coat features.You can play with some coat features by building your own cat HERE.

Spotted/Leopard Calico

Solid Striped

Basic Coat Types

Eyelids

Eye LinerCan only see when

eyes are closed because eyelids wont

match.

Mask

Point/Siamese Mask

Mittens, Socks, Or Boots

Star Belly/Star Butt

Ringtail

Page 17: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 12

Variants/Overrides

Some users like and specifically seek cats with certain variants or overrides. A variant or override is when a certain part of the body is a boldly different color from the rest of the body.

The two words seem to be used interchangeably amongst traders.

To the right you see an example of override eyelids and an override ringtail. People also often seek override ears, eyeliner, and colored star bellies.

Random/Glitch Eyes

Random/Glitch eyes were originally two different things. It is rumored that the glitch eyes were initially introduced into Happy Pets by a hacker somehow.

Sometime thereafter, Happy Pets introduced the random pet which introduced random eyes that were very similar and sometimes the same as glitch eyes. Some traders feel a true glitch eye is only the original 29 (3 of which are now achievable with store bought lens) on the list on the following page. There is also an expanded list, with many more eyes however authors of both lists are unknown.

The best way to tell what is or is not a glitch/random eye is to know what standard eyes are.

Page 18: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 13

Random/Glitch Eyes Continued…Below is a list of the original glitch eyes and all of the standard eyes that have been on cats available through the store. Eyes outside of these eyes are random eyes instead of glitch eyes.

Cat Sizes

Cats come in different sizes. Different sizes can be bought from store. Generally in special edition cats, and cats can also be modified with growth or shrink elixir (more later).

Page 20: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 15

Special Features

Cats also have special features that make them stand out from other cats.

Glow CatsGlow cats have a single color of opaque glow surrounding their bodies.

Cloud/Puff CatsCloud/Puff cats are glow cats whose glow blends in with a part of their coat.

These can also be multi-glow.

Sparkle CatsSparkle cats have a moving sparkle surrounding them.

Can also be multi-glow or glow.

Multi-Glow CatsMulti-Glow (MG) cats have a opaque inner glow with up to two other translucent glows surrounding the initial inner opaque glow.

Specialty CatsCrowdStar has introduced many specialty cats to Happy Pets. I have not been able to locate a completed list of these cats with images but you can look at these two HERE and HERE.

Catzilla Iron Cat

Ghost CatsTranslucent cats. Originally came blue glow/white body.

Page 21: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 16

ModificationCats can be modified with items from the store found under Accessories > Clothing > Makeover.

Growth / Shrink ElixirGrows or shrinks your cat by one size level.

DyeRandomly changes the color of your cats coat, coat features, and sometimes will also apply to your cats glow.

LensChanges the color of your cat’s eyes.

CombinationRemember that any of the aforementioned coat types, features, or eyes can be mixed and matched on your cats!

Most breeders work very hard to create complex coated cats. This is much more difficult to achieve in glow cats.

Getting StartedNarrow Down A Couple You Want To BreedAfter Step 1 you should have a good amount of neighbors. In addition to this guide you should have seen a lot of cats and you should have some idea what you want to breed.

Make Sure You Are PreparedYou should have around 40-50 neighbors. This is important for two reasons: 1) it takes 40 neighbors to unlock the nursery 2) It takes 50 neighbors to unlock 64 slots in the hotelYou need these spots to house your baby baskets and cats you want to keep but may not have room for. This is especially important if you are low level.

HOTEL EXPANSION RATE:4 slots - 0-9 Neighbors8 slots - 10 Neighbors 16 slots - 20 Neighbors 32 slots - 30 Neighbors 64 slots - 50 Neighbors

128 slots - 100 Neighbors 256 slots - 250 Neighbors 512 slots - 500 Neighbors

level 0-2 gets 14 slotslevel 3-7 gets 16 slots

level 8-11 gets 18 slotslevel 12-15 gets 20 slotslevel 13-16 gets 22 slots level 17-20 gets 24 slotslevel 21-24 gets 28 slotslevel 23-28 gets 30 slotslevel 29-32 gets 33 slots

level 33-36 gets 36 slotslevel 37-40 gets 39 slotslevel 41-44 gets 42 slotslevel 45-48 gets 45 slotslevel 49-52 gets 48 slotslevel 53-56 gets 51 slotslevel 57-60 gets 54 slotslevel 61-64 gets 57 slotslevel 65+ gets 60 slots

NURSERY EXPANSION RATE:If You Aren't There YetThen Room 1 will be your nursery. Put all your baby baskets next to your piggy bank so your neighbors can easily bless your baskets.

Be careful when you start breeding to not breed in excess of your hotel and room area unless you want to use FBC to expand your storage. Else you could possibly be stuck giving away pets you want to keep!

Page 18

Work Your NeighborsTroll the Pet TraderYou know now what you want to breed. So you have an idea what you are needing to get. If you want cats that are stripped and spotted, and you don’t see a cat in trader that is both then get a striped cat and a spotted cat and breed them until you get your desired cat.

If you want a glow cat, pick up a glow cat from trader that has a glow you like, even if you dislike the fur, you can breed out fur color, but its harder to change out glow color without many glow cats.

Go to the pet trader, then find a pet, and scroll the pages. Animals named 4[somename] have been promised to someone else and are not for you. Cats in trader with no code (no lock icon) or cats in trader with a lock named code=nursery or bless4code are up for grabs.

For cats named code=nursery , code@nursery, and bless4code you will go to the nursery, bless their babies, then look at the nursery name for the code. Sometimes the user wants you to bless their nursery then message them for the code.

Page 25: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 19

Troll the UFT and UFA albumsSome neighbors wont put animals in the trader. Instead they keep them in the hotel until requested. These neighbors may have trade albums. If you see a neighbor who has pets you like, check out there albums.

Go to the user’s Facebook profile. Click Photos, then look for an album named UFT (up for trade) or UFA (up for adoption).

Cats UFT, the user wants something in return, do not ask the user to give you these cats for nothing in return. Sometimes the user will list on the album what they want in trade, sometimes it will be listed on each individual image.

If the album is labeled UFA (up for adoption) the cats are available for nothing in return.

Once you find a cat you like you can comment on that individual image or send the user a private message asking them for further details. If the cat is UFA you should ask if it is still available. If the cat is UFT link them to your UFT album or tell them what you are willing to offer for the cat.

If you are new, and you don’t have much to offer yet, tell the user that you are interested in the cat but that you are new and may not have anything that they are interested in. Be polite and complimentary. Sometimes they will give you the cat for no trade if they feel like you need it.

Need a UFT or UFA album? Learn to make one HERE.

Page 26: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 20

Search Your Neighbors HomesSome neighbors will have rooms labeled Free, UFA, or UFT full of animals. Keep your eye out for these as another way to find animals. You find one you like, use the same protocol as before to message your neighbor about the pet.

Social BreedingOnce you reach level 25, you will be able to submit social breeding (SB) requests. Neighbors sometimes will create social breeding albums (just like the UFT and UFA albums) that have pictures of their cats with information on what room they're in. Other neighbors may have rooms designated with blocks or room name for social breeding. If you aren’t sure if a social breed request will be welcomed, just ask your neighbor. Never send a social breeding request if the neighbor has not indicated in any way that their cat is up for SB. They will let you know! If the user indicates that a LP is requiredthat means they want you to buy a Love Potion with FBC to process the social breed.

Need to know how to submit a social breeding request to your neighbor’s pet?

Just go HERE.

Page 21

Work Your NeighborsMake sure you are blessing your neighbors baskets in the nursery and sending them items they request. Don’t just send gifts blindly. Monitor the feed for item requests and shy pet requests. Once you bless their babies (following request), help with shy pet, or items, leave a comment saying “Helped” or “done”. Use a smiley such as :) :3 or a heart <3 .

To get to the feed, go to game requests, then scroll below the requests, select happy pets and there is your game feed!

Right Click & Open in New Tab, Can Only Do One at a Time but You

Want to Keep This Window Open To Place Your Comment When

Done.

If possible you should try to bless your neighbors baskets in their nursery daily. If not possible at least bless the baskets ofthose that have given you pets and helped you with advice in the past.

If you see a neighbor online and you like their pets tell them you enjoy seeing their pets. If they have pretty glow baskets compliment their baskets.

When you have been a good neighbor you can message your neighbors who don’t have trade/adoption albums or trade/adoption rooms in their homes and tell them you really love their pets and would like to know should they ever decide to trade or put any up for adoption. Do not ask your neighbor to give you a pet, but tell them you love their pets and would be interested in one should they give them up for adoption/trade.

The StoreI have put this last, because aside from limited edition and Facebook credit cats, the cats from the store will not be as unique as ones you can get from breeding, trading, and adopting if done properly.

The Happy Pets CommunityThe majority of the people I have traded with over the months I found in the Happy Pets Community Cats forum.

Go to the Happy Pets Community and scroll down to the forum named cats. Here you can dig through hundreds of lists of cats UFA and UFT as well as people that are looking for specific cats that you may have.

If you cannot find what you are looking for you can always post a new topic requesting a certain type of cat.

Keep in mind though, trading with your neighbors makes for loyal neighbors.

Trading TipsIf possible, and you aren't just picking up a quick adoption that was already in trader you always want to get some background on the cats first.

Information About Parent CatsIf the parent cat was a glow cat, ghost cat, sparkle cat, or multi-glow cat the cat you are adopting has a higher probability of passing on those traits to their offspring.

GenealogyIf the cats you are adopting are related to each other you will not be able to breed them together. You cannot breed Daughter/Son to Mother/Father, Brother/Sister to Brother/Sister, or Half-Brother/Half-Sister to Half-Brother/Half-Sister.

SizeWhen taking pictures of pets there is no difference shown in size. You will not be able to tell from most pictures the size of a cat. If you are specifically seeking a certain size or avoiding a certain size it is best to see the cat roaming in a roombefore you decide to adopt.

Basic CatsIf you like really pale colors, get some white cats to lighten the colors of the cats you adopt through color mixing (more later). If you like darker colors get darker cats, etc… Pick single features in cats that you like with the plan to breed those features into multiple cats. For example spotted striped cats can come from a striped cat and a spotted cat.

Page 24

Breeding New CatsBreeding in GeneralOnce you have some cats that you want to breed it is best to first get organized. Pick two cats you want to see traits combined on and start breeding.

In theory, if you breed the same two cats together 10 times you will

produce 4 babies, 20 times will produce 9 babies.

When you are randomly breeding random cats together with no

achievement goal you will quickly learn you are not getting the cat

traits you want.

Breeding in general has a 45% success rate when the cats are in a clean room with full Hunger and Happiness.

Page 32: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 25

Breeding Like TypesHere I am breeding two multi-glows. As you can see, each time I am consistently given multi-glow kittens but the coloring and breed of the kitten changes. I have actually bred these two cats well over 30 times and have gotten a myriad of combinations from these two cats. For a few days now though I am retiring their breeding to breed that multi-glow Siamese with a black cloud/puff in effort to create a Siamese multi-glow black puff.

This is an example of why it is important to stay organized. These cats have simplified coats, to breed more complex coats you would have to breed the same pair of cats together sometimes for a long while before getting the desired result. Same thing goes for passing on rare traits (more later).

For more examples of breeding outcomes over time between cats check out this pictorial log HERE.

Page 33: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 26

Breeding Special TraitsOn page 15 we discussed special traits: Sparkle, Glow, multi-glow, Cloud/Puff, and Ghost. If you read the HPC forum announcements when these pets are announced they list specific percentages sometimes for breeding outcomes on these cats. However I have noticed that over time these have changed.

Breeding Glow to Multi-GlowWe are still subject to the 45% success rate for breeding. Of those successful breeds 40% will result in a multi-glow cat.

Breeding Glow to GhostWe are still subject to the 45% success rate for breeding. Of those successful breeds 10% will result in a ghost cat.

Breeding Glow to Non-GlowWe are still subject to the 45% success rate for breeding. Of those successful breeds 10% will result in a glow cat.

* Breeding statistics on this page are based on data from breeding the same two cats together over time. Breeding outcome was tracked in a spreadsheet. When you are mixing and matching cats you can alter the amount of time it takes to achieve these results. Breeding outcome images on this page show worst case scenario with the desired cat at the end of the breeding line.

Page 34: Happy Pets CatDevelopmentGuide

Unofficial Cat Development GuideCompiled by: Jessica Rangol

Page 27

Breeding Sparkle to Non-GlowWhen breeding a Sparkle cat to a non sparkle cat you will pretty consistently get sparkle cats. My data on this varied over time, as I had sparkles before I ever had glows. But it seemed to range depending on my pair of cats anywhere from 60-100% of breeds resulted in a sparkle basket.

Breeding Sparkle to Glow or Multi-glowWe are still subject to the 45% success rate for breeding. Of those successful breeds 10% will result in a Sparkle Glow or Sparkle Multi-Glow Cat.

Breeding Cloud/Puff CatsBreeding puff cats is more difficult because puff cats are not as much of a special trait as they are an anomaly. For this reason, you will see a ton of panther puffs because taking a cat with a solid black body and breeding it to a black glow is much easier than matching other bodies to glows.

If you have one puff cat, the best advice to keep the bloodline going is to find a cat with the same color fur as its glow and breed them together until you produce a second puff cat.

Of course if you are lucky enough to have two identical puffs that are not related, they will continue to produce puff babies.

* Breeding statistics on this page are based on data from breeding the same two cats together over time. Breeding outcome was tracked in a spreadsheet. When you are mixing and matching cats you can alter the amount of time it takes to achieve these results.

Getting The Colors You WantGlow ColorsWhen dealing with a single glow or a multi-glow that sticks pretty close to a close range of colors the color mixing is simple. Having a background in art I turn to a simple color mixing chart to try to see what color combinations I can get. Keep in mind that sometimes in breeding instead of the colors mixing one of the glow colors will just be duplicated. But once they do mix it is easy to get your desired result using a mixing chart. Select a color from the vertical axis and the horizontal axis and drag your finger. Where they meet will be the outcome color.

Coat ColorsThis is very simple when dealing with non-complex coats or coats with features that are a similar color to the base coat.

Select a color from the vertical axis and the horizontal axis and drag your finger. Where they meet will be the outcome color.

Brighten / Darken ColorsCats with pure white glows, pure white bodies, pure black glows, and pure black bodies are highly desirable because they can be used to lighten and darken coats and glows.

Again this takes time as sometimes when you breed them to another cat you will get a duplicated feature instead of a mixed feature.

Breeding Cats That Pull Weight in TradePB OSOf course the number one most desired thing will always be the purebred offspring (PB OS)of limited edition special cats from the store. Purebred Offspring are the children of two identical store bought special cats.

AnomaliesAnomalies made from the special limited edition cats such as:Sparkle GlowsCloud/PuffsMulti-Glow GhostsPatterned Fur GhostsGlow Fluffy CatsMulti-glow Fluffy CatsGlow Calico CatsMulti-Glow calico Cats

And any other feature combination that cannot be purchased and was never available for purchase from the store.

OtherOther people are seeking specific coat types and non-special cats. However, you cannot trade these with as much ease as the items listed above.
