Technical Breeding Tips and Advice

[Mellyn Llewellyn]

The best tip I ever got I read here on the forums, and I think it might have been Tad's but no longer remember.

It was to pair two kitties whose traits you want to blend and wait for two siblings, one of each sex, before opening the boxes, then pair the siblings, rather than opening boxes right away and pairing offspring to parent. I've gotten faster results with lower food costs by doing this. The 2nd generation siblings won't be great kitties -- it's the 3rd generation that can be stellar.

Patience is helpful - it seems like the first gen 3 box or two never is what you want, but given some patience, the good kitties do come. I've gone from 4-5T kitties to well traited 9T in 3 generations a number of times.
