They needed to calm the controversy about MFPS.
I agree -- I think there were a lot of requests for more cat/dog content so they figured they could combine those requests with the desire for small pets. If the pack hadn't contained the C&D content I think it would have been far less controverial. There's currently a pretty nasty bug involving the pet cages from the pack, but otherwise it's a cute pack -- if you have Parenthood taking care of the animals is a fun way to build Responsibility, and even if you don't children can study the rodent and that counts as the daily homework; sometimes it gets boring watching them just working in a workbook all the time. I'd like to see more types of active homework like that.
The controversy surrounding MFP plus the gearing up of EP production may have put SPs on the back burner for a bit, along with possibly just not having any good themes. I do think we'll see a couple of SPs this year and at least one more GP.
