If history has taught us anything about Zynga's many Facebook games, it's that each game's loading screen can tell you just as much as any official announcement. Such is the case this evening in CastleVille, as a new loading screen has entered rotation, showing off a similar image to that of the puppy teaser that launched a few weeks ago, but with dragons instead.

To be specific, you'll be shown in-game avatars cuddling with and petting dragons of all shapes and colors (pink, green, orange/yellow and blue baby dragons are shown off as "babies" in the image), alongside the text: "Build a happy kingdom with your fiery friends." Clearly, this is an intentional pairing, as the puppy teaser image had "furry friends" when showing off dogs and cats.

Speaking of cats, if this dragon update will be the next to launch in the game (apparently, they'll hatch from dragon eggs), then where did cats go? Are they being left behind for now in favor of the dragons, or could both be launching in the next few days / weeks?
