Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bish-Kits are chibi, half-bishoujo/shounen and half feline creatures. Bred by Sarabi, there are currently 3 breeds available; Standard Breed, Kitsune Breed, and the Strays. The first, Standard Breed, is a lot like your average domestic cat; not really exotic, but still pretty cute. Among the many, many different Gaian Pets available, these Bish-Kits are popular for their easy-going temperments and generally sweet nature. The Standard Breed Bish-Kit was the breed that Sarabi began the entire Bish-Kit enterprise on, and the breed that, through experimentation, she was able to develop the Kitsune breed from.

To tell the truth, Sarabi really doesn't know where Bish-Kits originated from. She found Marvy and Jingo at a local Gaian Pound, and without hesitation, adopted the pair of them. Nature led the way from there, and it wasn't long before Sarabi found that first purple egg, snuggled in her bureau drawer. It took a rather long time for her to hit upon the idea of breeding them for profit; to help pay for all of the kitty food, tuna, and peanut butter (yes, peanut butter) that her adorable (but ravenous) pets were consuming.

After a few flat sales, when Sarabi finally realized that she could actually start a real business selling these pets, she started getting serious about breeding them.

Night after night she stayed up, with an Breedables Addict's devotion, and an Insomniac's working hours. It was during this time, at 3 in the morning, that Sarabi heard a scratching at her door. She waited for it to stop, and when it didn't, sighed and got up. Marvy apparently wanted to be let out again. Just as she thought, when she reached the door Marvy was waiting, his large blue eyes imploring. You know the feeling; you love your pets to death, but sometimes in the middle of the night, they lose a lot of their charm.

Sarabi opened the door to let Marvy out, then stifled a gasp of surprise as she saw a scruffy-looking creature sitting on the porch. This was...a Bish-Kit! Not any kind that she'd ever seen, however. It was so...dirty, and nearly feral-looking. She had definate doubts about the fierce little creature, but when Marvy greeted it nearly affectionately and led it inside, it was clear that she no longer had any choice in the matter. So she gave it a bath, and cleaned it up as best she could. She knew that she couldn't afford to keep any more pets, but surprisingly (and happily) was able to find a home for the stray Bish-Kit quickly. These strange, wild Bish-Kits still do appear at her home every now and then, and when they do, she always finds a loving home to take them in.

Now back to her research into the breeding of Bish-Kits. Many books (and many, many eggs) later, the Kitsune breed was developed. And believe me, it was a totally unexpected success. Sarabi found Jingo's eggs, (under the bed this time) and they were...a different color. They hatched a week or so after discovery, and Sarabi's suspicions were confirmed- a new breed of Bish-Kit! The babies had fox-like tails, and cute little fangs that showed when they opened their mouths to mew. Charmed, Sarabi soon released them to the public, christening them "Kitsune" Bish-Kits, after their foxlike characteristics.

That's pretty much where the Bish-Kit story now stands, and Gaia's pet lovers really seem to adore the new breed. The Breeding Center is now open, so Sarabi can introduce the Bish-Kit owners to the joys of raising their beloved pets' own offspring.
