Traits - tool to count them?

[Tad Carlucci]

For tools, I used to use my fingers; but Charm pointed out I was moving my lips, too. So I worked real hard at it and can now do it without doing either!

This is all covered in the FAQ. Basically, you only need to learn which are starter traits and NOT count them. So anything Genesis does not count, large pupils don't count, etc. (You won't find anything about it in the manual because from their point of view, all cats have nine breedable traits, and two non-breedable, gender and size.) Countable versus non-countable is a player-thing, not a company-thing. That's why it's in the FAQ.
