First of all what is are Neopets?

Wikipedia's definition of Neopets:

The site takes its name from its core feature, Neopets, the cartoon-like inhabitants of the fictional world of Neopia. There are fifty-four different species of Neopets, some of which are limited edition or have special criteria for creation. Users are allowed to have up to four Neopets per account. To obtain a new Neopet, users can either create a pet, allowing them to choose its name, gender, basic colour, species, and some personality options, or adopt another user's unwanted pet through an adoption or transfer in a system called "The Pound." Once a user has a Neopet, they can use special items, such as paintbrushes, to alter their Neopets' physical characteristics. They can also customise their Neopet by purchasing wearable items for them, such as clothing and backgrounds. Users can feed their Neopet, play games with them, and use them to stage battles with another user's Neopet or a non-playable character in the Battledome.
