Is it plausible for a toddler-equivalent kit (think 3 or 4 years old) to bond with young adolescent or almost-adolescent kits?
Speaking of age, how long does it take for an Avali to grow to maturity, in terms of human years? (And how long are Avalon's yearly cycles in comparison to Earth's?)
A lot of specific details about pack bonding are not completely set in stone (If only because they have needed to adapt a little to better accommodate players expectations :p - as well as some emergent issues with the idea), as is maturation rates. Even though Avali are considerably longer lived than humans I wouldn't expect their maturation rate to be considerably slowly, simply because it's impractical for creatures to remain child-like for longer than is essential.
_______________________
A "year" on a planet like Avalon gets weird because it's a moon, not a true planet. A "year" on Earth is basically the Earth's orbital period around the sun. And our moon has an orbital period around the earth of ~28 days (Which you might recognize as the lunar cycle, and the original basis for a month)
The precise metrics here arn't set in stone and there's a number of variables that would change these if I were to ever commit it (ie the class and mass of the parent star, the mass/size of the gas giant, and the mass of Avalon itself all play a part in the equation. But roughly speaking Avalon has an orbital period (A 'month') around it's parent planet (A gas giant), of around 2 earth week and it's parent planet has an orbital period (a 'year') around the local star of around 20 years.
Just to make stuff weirder, since Avalon is tidally locked to it's parent planet (One side always faces the planet), the centre-point of planet-facing side would probably never see direct sunlight, so we can surmise Avalon has 4 distinct "poles". A north and south pole where sunlight is minimal all year around and ice caps exist. A 'super glacial' region on the side facing the local planet. And a desert region on the side facing away from the planet, where it gets the most sunlight. Even on the side that gets direct sunlight, night would last a full Earth week (So, no the Avali do not have a circadian rhythm as we know it :p)

Cats...
I mean, they're nice and all, but when they're not sleeping or sitting around they're just annoying.
Though they are funny in some cases.

Looking at the forum rules, a funny thought occurs to me.... if I were to post something NSFW, and break the rules... would I get banned from the Avali community? :p

Unrelated note but in GalCiv I colonized a planet with a "snuggler colony." I thought it was useful in a less than legal way at first but then I realized I had misread and now I think my best bet is to try and sell the damn things.

Nuclear Throne is so good, you actually reminded me I haven't touched it in a while.

So, after the horrifying ideal of being left at the amusement park 1 hour away from home by the school bus and being shoved into a car with too many people in it, fighting rush hour traffic the entire length of the journey, I am back, and I am completely and utterly bushed.

You would be working to make as much NSFW as possible to work back membership.
