It would be nice to have the full pedi available with every cat.
While at it: please have some note function where you can fill in or unlock, if shown, the hidden traits of your own breeders. (it would tidy up my paper notes
)
I partly disagree with the "no owner" request though. Though when the whole pedigree server is browsable, your not-for-sale cats become visible, too. Maybe a good compromise would be that you can unlock the pedigree upwards for each cat.
I see some advantages in knowing where your cats come from:
• you can ask for the descendants of a cat when your cats behave oddly asking (vice versa: I give feedback on a hidden yay-trait, I discovered in some cat both to ppl I got the cat from and ppl who bought an offy)
• it is easier to identify "professional resellers" (yes, that matters to me, I do not support ppl after the easy buck and selling raffle cats and such)
• the name-tagging could be abused. Sellers with a bad reputation could make an alt and none would be the wiser.
Selling anything is a kind of contract, you have to let your pants down to some degree - RL, too.
