The Kitty Corner Crisis quest cooldown has been reduced from 12 hours to 8 hours, and has been added to the Town Crier's quest watch, so you can see the cooldown remaining and if it's available again.

As a crazy cat lady, this is by far, my new favourite mini event... ever!
Thanks Nick!
Have a question: I was only able to get 15 cats, is that ok or a bug?
Wonder how we´re going to achieve the goals if kitties don´t keep coming... as in other events...

Should we be able to get cats in between quests? They seem to have stopped dropping after the quest. Sadly, some of us cannot play more than once per day and will not be able to get all of the rewards. It would be nice if events were fully inclusive to all of the players. Folks may have jobs, families, disabilities, school, or other obligations that strictly limit when and how long they can play in a 24 hour period.

Exactly @cutename, I can only play once a day. Not every 8 hs as is the actual cooldown for new quests.

I have found 15, but I'm not getting the checkmark on the quest popup for finding 15. And it's beyond frustrating to see that other players somehow are DONE and I'm stuck at 25% completion. I was in the hospital until late yesterday so I didn't even know this event existed until this morning and I can't even make progress.

Those players aren't 'done'. They were lucky with the Time Turner trinket and got to repeat the quest.

Never heard of that trinket. But every quest that comes up, I see players who are at 350-3500% done while I'm barely a quarter into it. I'm struggling to have energy to play more than an hour a day and they finish a 14 day quest on day ONE. :'(

I wish this event was longer as well. I won't be able to finish.

This is a cute questline, but so far it feels more like a standard mini event. I can't put my finger on it but it seems that we usually have more to do in Community events to help everyone reach the community goal.

@Knot4Him The 'event progress %' is never accurate, just ignore it. It mostly shows how many event items have been turned-in, not actual event quests completed. The people with high percentages are usually end-game players who have tweaked their trinkets/runes/mounts/pets to achieve an 'indefinite play' build.

The excruciatingly slow rate at which the game allows me to earn catnip means I will NEVER be able to obtain all the items from this quest.
Frankly, I'm pretty ticked off. This quest sets us up to FAIL.

This event is for players that can play every 8 hs.
Not fair.

Hi folks!

Completing the quest once per day should be enough to get you 100% on the event. The 8 hour cooldown was intended as a stretch goal to give players the option to do some extra quests if they can and want, and get some additional store rewards.

That being said, I've seen the sentiment and understand the expectation the 8 hour cooldown can set. We'll take this into consideration the next time this mini-event comes around.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated! Happy whacking :D

With 17 hours left, I can only hunt for cats 2 more times. I'll have to be awake at 2 am when my next cooldown ends, and then again at 10am Pacific Time. I MUST NOT MISS staying up for the 2am cooldown ending. If I go to bed like a normal human with a life (sigh) I can't get two more rounds of cat hunting done in the 17 hours. But getting cats two more times means I will only be able to get one more of the event items. So far I have two...are there 3 of them or 4?
It seems that unless you have been hunting for cats EVERY time the cooldown ends, you will never get enough catnip to get all the event items. Am I wrong?

"Once per day" is 15 cats per day. But you need 30 catnip to buy anything so the math isn't really working for me. You have to cat hunt 2x per day to buy that day's event item...right?

And I just realized the getting of 100 cats is completely impossible.
But I slept through my 2am cooldown ending anyway so I won't be able to get all the event items. So that's 2 of the event goals completely out of reach.
Not being able to finish EVERY event goal has left a really bad taste in my mouth about this one. I'm not renewing my VIP this month because of this.

@Nickshire,
Promises to do better next time, likely a year from now, does nothing to resolve the current issue. This could have been resolved a few ways and much sooner. A whole bunch of us have still been excluded and left with bad feelings about this. Is this how Codename intends to treat less privileged players?
