Thank you for this thread, Ivy! Although I admit that I tend to structure all my breeding project goals to end in "couture" cats with a full 9 traits, an interesting project has been to choose a genesis trait and treat it as if it's a regular trait. This can be both fun and frustrating, as all the gen traits are very, very dominant - more dominant than any of the "real" traits, so if kitty doesn't pass that gen trait, it's lost, and you end up with a normal 9T cat :-D I love the Genesis Flames - all 5 generations of them, but I've concentrated on keeping the original Gen Flame traited with current traits. I do consider these cats a full 9T for the sake of the project. Also, they have been received very well in auctions and the marketplace, so to the original question "Is this a good cat?" I'd have to say, YES! Here is one of the most recent in this ongoing project:
