Dogz® and Catz® are virtual Petz™ that live on your computer desktop. From little puppy-Dogz and kitty-Catz, you raise them as they grow, play, and learn together. When they grow up, many will start families of their own. Petz look to you for care, guidance and training. For every Petz you adopt, you'll get to sign an Adoption Pledge promising to be a good Petz owner. Make sure your Dogz and Catz get plenty of healthy food, exercise, playtime - and lots of love from you! Tasty Treatz are one way to reward your Petz for good behavior - just don't overdo it. Use the Spray Bottle to keep particularly naughty Petz in line. Your Petz will run away if they feel neglected. Please adopt only those Petz you're sure you want and take good care of them! On behalf of our development teams and Mattel Interactive, we would like to thank all of you that have purchased our Virtual Life products since 1995. Due to your incredible support, the Virtual Life phenomenon has grown in record numbers, with hundreds of thousands of products sold worldwide. More importantly, your enthusiasm has been largely responsible for creating a thriving online community of unique and funny services for our virtual life titles: Creatures, Dogz, Catz, Babyz and Oddballz. Regrettably, changes and consolidations within Mattel Interactive have required us to suspend further development of Virtual Life products for the time being. We cannot say at this time, when this will change. We will continue to maintain basic website services but will no longer be able to maintain our online community activities. However, all of the fun and unique shows, camps, breeding services, weddings and training services will continue to flourish as long as there are people like you that enjoy playing with your Babyz, Petz and our other Virtual Life titles. Once again, we appreciate your passion, and truly value your commitment to our Virtual Life titles. Fashion Shoes
