It's pretty much a basic principle of video game economics.....if something doesn't sell, then they won't keep doing it. Given how far in advance EPs and even SPs are developed, I'd assume they did enough market research prior to development on Cats & Dogs and this SP to know their expected sales would make it worth their time.
I'm actually okay with separating out small pets from Cats & Dogs -- that way if people can't run the EP due to not having high enough computer specs or not having the money for the EP (especially those countries that got hit with pretty heavy price adjustments), they'll still have access to small animals (in this case hamsters and other related cage animals) at a decent price point. My objection is that those people end up paying for content that they can't use (the C&D specific items). I guess players could maybe take the food bowl and such and maybe use MOO to add items for decor, but not sure if that would work. Just doesn't feel right to me to include items that you need another pack to actually make operational; might have felt better to maybe parcel the items out in a series of patches, or maybe some sort of "mini-pack".
