Accompanying Letter

From: Breanni
Subject: Stinker's New Home

I've heard how well you take care of our furry friends. I hope you don't mind but I must get Stinker a new home. He just refuses to play nice with others.

Please make sure to feed him twice a day, and um... he has a thing for black cats.

-- Breanni

Pet Journal

Stinker uses his aroma to repel predators and attract cats. He's much more successful with the former than the latter.

Trivia

• The last line in the letter as well as the pet journal is a reference to the Warner Brothers character Pepé Le Pew and his love of a black cat who usually has a strip of white paint poured down her back making her look like a "skunk".
• When a Black Tabby, Calico Cat or Bombay Cat is summoned in the presence of Stinker, a heart will appear over Stinker's head and he will begin chasing the cat, which is a reference to Pepé Le Pew (and Penelope Pussycat).
• The "Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart" achievement name is probably a reference to the real world pet store, Petsmart. Their motto is verbatim of the motto of Reeking Pet Carrier. It could also be a reference to the movie "Bruce Campbell vs. The Army of Darkness", where Campbell's character works at a fictional store called S Mart. Their motto is "Shop Smart, Shop S Mart."
