Bunny

"Bunniez love to play in the outdoors." Bunnyz are a "friend" breed introduced in Catz 4.

Like Pigz, their Pick A Pet icon is a star.

Bunnyz were originally intended as Downloadz for Petz 3 but were instead released with the base game of Catz 4.

Bunnyz do not appear as an adoptable breed in Catz 5, but a Bunny may appear in the Back Yard as a host character.

Description
"The Bunny is lively and energetic, a real free spirit. Bunnyz secretly wish they were Catz!"  - Catz 4  The Bunny's fur texture becomes opaque when painted. It is possible that the texture was made using the Babyz palette instead of the Petz palette.

Behavior
They display traits from Calico, Persian, and Orange Shorthair personalities, displaying both bouncy behavior and terrified running, as well as flopping heavily like Persians do when dropped.

Breeding
Bunnyz are spayed and neutered by default, and unneutering them with PetzA and then attempting to breed them will crash the game as, similar to Pigz, their breed file does not contain a second-generation genome. They can only be bred using hexed breed files.

The Petz 4 Bunny uses an opaque texture that does not display colors, making mutations invisible.

Trivia

 * Bun5.gif Kittenz are called Baby-Bunnyz in their profile.
 * While Bunnyz in-game only come out of the Adoption Center in a white variety, all the Bunny clip art in the Web Fun Pack features a gray-hooded variety.
 * There are two unused textures embedded in the Bunnyz's  file, COTTONGREY and COTTONWHITE.
 * Bunnyz have three extra unused LNZ profiles, "BUNNYALBINO," "BUNNYBROWN," and "BUNNYPINK."
 * Unlike every other breed in the game, Bunnyz's Pick A Pet pose is radially different from their Adoption Center picture. Pick A Pet is a shot from the front, while Adoption Center is a Bunny reclining in a Siamese pose.
 * The breed name is pluralized in the Catz 4 manual as "Bunnyz," but the in-game On-screen Tips line spells it as "Bunniez."
