Or is it just me?

Not just you, it totally does I noticed this earlier XD lol

I was considering adopting one but I know someone's going to come stumble upon them and fall in love.

but hey! free pet color achievements!

i felt bad about adopting then abandoning milkyway but i knew it was the right thing to do cuz i wasn't going to appreciate it properly.

I felt the same, they are awesome pets for someone to make characters for most of the colors are amazing and expensive to get :)
