A couple of years ago, I played The Sims and had my characters buy a pet. In the game she was a little grey tabby cat named Pliny. About a year later my friend rescued a cat that had been horribly abused and left for dead. My friend nursed the cat back to health and it turned out that she was pregnant. I volunteered to take a kitten once they were born even though I never even saw the mother and had no idea what she looked like. When Pliny was finally weaned, my friend brought her to me – and she was the spitting image of my electronic pet in The Sims. The Secret works even if you aren’t aware that you’re making it happen.
