KittyCatS History: Who discovered what & when?

[Bea Shamrock]

For those who haven't posted an (approximate) date, I'd really appreciate it if you could do so please....I'm more interested in when something was discovered than by whom, except maybe in the case of the new traits from Halloween 2012 kitties. Thank you

Agreed, any and all data is appreciated! Any bit of information possible is so helpful, from who discovered it to when, even if it's an approximate date, so I hope we can get those dates too so we can figure out which collection the initial starter was from.

I will be adding a list to the first post of this topic with all of the information compiled thus far from this thread so everyone's posts are appreciated, I know for myself I've learned so many new things already. Yay!

I was the one who discovered the Curious Whiskers - but I must admit I don't remember when or from which collection -I was terribly terribly happy that day though! The funniest whiskers ever, lol. They came from the same collection as the Plush whiskers - that I know at least, as my Curious discovery came from 2 Plush-whiskered kittens.
-Coming to think of it, I actually think it was when new starters were introduced - not the new-new ones with the Genesis II furs, but those where the RFL 2011-eyes were introduced in starters, and the first Ocicat-furs as well. I THINK it must have been late summer 2011? Try look at the news from the time.

I THINK Kendrah was the one to discover the Odyssey No. 2 ears - if you don't count the "teaser" that Equinox displayed on a fair a while before. I bought that cat, and bred out Odyssey 1 ears - but I think someone else had discovered them first.
I also think Kendrah discovered the Beach Blue eyes - but again, I am not sure. Try ask her? I just know that the day they were discovered, Kendrah put the kitten up at my auction. I know those eyes were from the RFL 2011-cats.

If you're writing KittyCats history, it may also be worth mentioning that Thunder Rae was the first person to breed out a fully traited cat. -At the time, that was 7 traits, as the whisker-traits weren't introduced yet back then. 4-5 days later, I bred out the first 7-traited GIRL kitty, lol... I was also quite proud of that, since I hadn't even bred KittyCats from the start. -I very much regret I don't have that cat anymore - I later sold her.

Oh, and I haven't read all posts closely, but someone mentioned Glitter shade - and that was there from the start, it was not from any special collection. -As for who discovered it, I have no clue. But they were still selling for insane amounts when I started breeding - and no one had a clue why those damn glitter-cats NEVER passed their shade! LOL.... Seriously, we didn't know a thing about KittyCatS-"genes" at the time ;-)

-Oh, and GREAT initiative, btw! I will love to see how many historical KittyCats-facts you collect. -I can heartily recommend Google Docs for easy sharing and updating ;-)

I agree it is a super idea and thank you for clarifying the Glitter shade
It would be cool to have this history in Google Docs indeed!

I added a chart to the first post of this topic that includes what everyone has contributed plus my own (very limited) knowledge. I'm not very familiar with setting up Google Docs so if anyone wants to get one started, for sure add it. I will try to tinker around with it later as well!
