- The page lists 13 cats and 47 dogs for the free surprise draw; custom photo pets cost $4.99 once.
Field notes
The page shows interaction examples, including clicking a pet to make it leap or wake a napper, and stroking a dog to prompt a wag. It lists coat variations and named pets with short personality notes; custom-pet buyers can review the result before paying. The roadmap identifies meerkats as the next animal, rather than presenting them as available now.
