That's what happened to me this morning! Oh, and shaking a dead meerroo on a stick at them works too, just not as well. Other than that, I pay close attention to the dominant/recessive trait lists developed by Saga with so many people's input. Oh and NEVER open 20 kitten boxes at once - I did and now can't keep track of who has what! lol

We need a voodoo doll on a stick to wave over them now! Scare them with the pins! lol

I have a ton of new kitties I opened the past month. One thing I do lately since I can't keep track of them is sort them on the pedigree site by age.
I also keep a lot of the babies in cattery so i can I can see their traits without having to click on them or look them up all the time. By the time I pull them out of cattery I have a good idea what they show and hide.

I sort mine on my pedigree page as well. I use my pedigree page constantly and can't imagine trying to breed without it (THANK YOU, KC peeps for creating that!!!). But I also keep various paper lists of which cats have or hide whatever trait I'm interested in breeding. Clovis keeps telling me I should create a database, but I'm old fashioned that way I guess (and lazy!)...paper lists just seem easier to me. I would love to hear about the various ways other people keep track of their breeders.
