Ugly Petlings Get Dyed

I’ve decided to give biscuits to all four finalists of the Ugly Petling contest, because my last post about them may have been unfair. The petlings were paired with pics of real animals. While the comparisons were interesting, the real photos may have influenced people as they cast their votes.

My whole point was that it’s hard to define what is an ugly petling when they’re all kind of cute in their own way. Pet Society is driven by cute. The pets are cute, the toys, the houses, even the piles of poo are cute. So how could the petlings not be cute too? They’re all designed to make us go “Awwww.”

Still, I’ve given out the petling biscuits to the finalists in the colors they wanted.

  • Julie didn’t like the black fur and yellow eyes of her cat. The petling biscuit can’t do anything about the eyes, but they look less prominent against gray fur.


     

  • Annie went against the crowd and wanted a blue petling biscuit. As you can see, blue is a definite theme in her household, and her big pet is aptly named “Sky.” (We don’t have the after pic as Annie hasn’t fed the biscuit to her petling yet.)


     

  • Hrefna’s petling Poppy won the vote earlier this week by a overwhelming margin. She got 62% of the votes, while the other three petlings got 10%-14%. She wanted the dark brown biscuit, but the last time I checked, Poppy was still blue.


     

  • Last but not least is Nik’s pink cat with yellow-orange eyes. It was actually Nik’s comment on the Pet Society Anonymous fan page that gave me the idea for a contest. He wrote, “I bet I have the ugliest petling.” Short and simple, the comment intrigued me. I wanted to see for myself how ugly his petling was. I was expecting something horrific. Something blinding. Yet, after this picture was posted, many people said that the pink cat was cute. Nik hasn’t responded to my email about which petling biscuit he wants. Perhaps he’s decided his petling isn’t so ugly after all.

    I bet Nik didn’t like his cute pink cat because it was pink…a ‘girly’ color. Embrace your feminine side Nik! That’s cool you gave one to all of the,. you’re right…I bet the real picture of an ugly blue dog swayed some votes. ( I think all the petlings are cute too!)

    Maybe Nik decided to just sell his cat and buy a new one, I found out that we could sell them after entering, and decided to keep my cat. But now I am finding we can only have 5 petlings at a time, the whole idea confuses me..

    I don’t get why people don’t like blue Petlings…I love my petling, Donnie, and he’s electric blue wih white eyebrows, and I love him :) It’s a lot more intresting than brown or grey Petlings, in my opinion. :)
