At the end of March, Jody of CryptoKitties411 held a contest where members of the community came up with their own “Fancy Cat recipes”. Roll Dice Club made a mock-up of what those recipes would look like, and they are basically the cutest things we’ve ever seen.

In April, we told you that we were so inspired by the creations you made for this contest, we were going to release a Fancy inspired by the contest itself.

Originally, our plan was to pick a recipe we liked, and add a new trait to it (that we would release right before we released the Fancy). So we announced that we would be taking a recipe, adjusting it, and sending it your way.

We’d already promised we weren’t going to copy an existing recipe exactly, of course, so we decided to stick with that pre-existing plan. We chose ‘Fun Day at the Beach’ by Kittynetic for our recipe, and removed the coralsunrise requirement.

A few weeks ago, we released that Fancy into the wild, and you all very quickly put together and shared a spreadsheet of every possible recipe combination — very clever. Can you believe it only took twenty one days for you to unlock the Fancy?

Nice work! I’m sure you recognize those terrified eyes from the Fun Day at the Beach Fancy — and you don’t want to know where Chat Plongeur is hiding that tail!

Salut! I’m afraid I have made a terrible mistake. My name is Chat Plongeur, and I am here to tell you: water is really, really wet. It seems so magical when you’re staring at it from above. It holds fish, as far as the eye can see. They’re waiting for you, down in the depths. But so is the water. Mise en garde!

Want a Chat Plonguer to bring into the bath with you?* There are some available on the marketplace, and at the time of writing there are also a bunch still available to breed!

*We do not recommend bringing your computer into the bath with you. Come on, people. They’re cats! Cats hate baths.
