At the risk of looking like mercenary, money-grubbing fat cats, I'll make this announcement:
On January 1st (or rollover on December 31st, depending on time zone), the piano cat and dramatic hedgehog will disappear from Mr. Store. They will be the last fairy/leprechaun and volleyball/leprechaun familiars available year-round.
They will be replaced with two new 2 Mr. A familiars: one which drops spleen-for-adventures items (like the fairy-worn boots), and one which opens up new adventuring zones (like the xenomorph, sandworm, astral badger, etc.).
So if you're interested in piano cats and hedgehogs, get 'em while they're hot!
