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.
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.
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.
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!”.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Specialty Cats
CrowdStar has introduced many specialty cats to Happy Pets. I Catzilla Iron Cat
have not been able to locate a completed list of these cats with
images but you can look at these two HERE and HERE.
Dye
Randomly changes the color of your cats coat, coat features, and sometimes will also apply to
your cats glow.
Lens
Changes the color of your cat’s eyes.
Combination
Remember 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.
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.
Social Breeding
Once 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 required
that means they want you to buy a Love Potion with FBC to process the social breed.
If possible you should try to bless your neighbors baskets in their nursery daily. If not possible at least bless the baskets of
those 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 Store
I 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.
Genealogy
If 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.
Size
When 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 room
before you decide to adopt.
Basic Cats
If 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.
Breeding in general has a 45% success rate when the cats are in a clean room
with full Hunger and Happiness.
In theory, if you breed the same When you are randomly breeding
two cats together 10 times you will random cats together with no
produce 4 babies, 20 times will achievement goal you will quickly
produce 9 babies. learn you are not getting the cat
traits you want.
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.
* 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.
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.

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