Old crate pets

I know it’s been brought up before by others (and me), but rather than necro I just figured another try.. can we please consider retconning the older pets to allow for the illusion function as well since that’s been the trend for a bit? If that’s too much of a pain then maybe a new NPC that will trade you the old one for a revised version? I’d love to turn my pet into an evil eye for science.
