• Let’s fluff ‘n puff a virtual cloud pet! Get together to
adopt, care and nurture pet cloud, let it grow and
then rain on someone. Hey, that’s a cool way to
save our planet. Show your carin’ and sharin’ side
by loving this little cutie. Adopt and get going. Feed
it water and it would swell with affection. Give it
colored water and see its beautiful character. After
eating the animal crackers it cracks up to shape like
camels and hippos.
