Cyska Siberians - A New Experience

A lot of people have been buzzing recently about a new animated pet site called Cyska Siberians. For those that don't know, Cyska is a fairly new site (launched on July 3rd), that focuses on Siberian cats. It is in its beta phase still, and currently the only way to check out this site is by invitation from another player. (You can also check out Cyska Siberians on Facebook)

A couple of things you should know about Cyska:

First and perhaps most important are the two Admin of the site. Namely Cyska and Sawyer. This team has done so much in the short time that I have been a member of the site. New cat colorations have been steadily introduced along with new features. Many of these are features that were proposed by players.

This is an age restricted site geared towards upper teens and adults (woo-hoo!).

For anyone who has an account but hasn't signed on lately, some of the new features are:

• The feed animation has been rendered, and it is ADORABLE! (see vid at the bottom of this post)

• There are now ledgers for PurrPoints (the money you earn in game by signing in, petting and feeding your cats) and CyDollars (this money can be purchased only at the Bank, or can be earned by other players for selling items, pictures made, etc.)

• New Cat Security allows you to lock each cat with a password. This was put in place to help prevent the scamming that is so rampant in other places. Luckily, we've had some awesome players so far and we haven't needed it. There are a few things you can do with cat security - a simple lock which keeps anyone who might access your account without permission from being able to sell your pets, a NFS (Not For Sale) heart which tells people which babies are in their forever home, a reserve status which lets others know that your cat is already spoken for, and an option that no one can feed your cat but you.

• Also there is now a private sale option that allows you to sell your cat to one specific user for 70CD+

• Bump button that allows you to simply click "Bump" at the bottom of your screen to put your topic at the top.

These are just some of the awesome features that have been introduced since the site launched in July. More are in the works. 

The current cat colorations are Black Mackerel Tabby, Solid Black, and Solid Orange. And Tortoiseshell Tabby is currently being rendered with beautiful results. There are pre-release Torbies (Tortoiseshell Tabbies) currently available for sale by Cyska. Just to give you a hint of how adorable these cats are here is a preview of the Black Mackerel Tabby:
