Charm and I have been running some ALTs. I think Charm got hers in two or three boxes. I got mine in 2. One ALT got one right off, another in 2.
Last St Patrick's day, I remember on ALT took 12 or 13. So long runs CAN occur.
Both of the friends I loaned a 100% cat too were NOT Alts. And neither had any Royal cats before, in fact they had only one 100% cat ready to breed, and both got the Royal on the first try, with my two different 100% cats. I was NOT the owner of either cat I loaned when it was bred. I sold them before breeding so my friends would be the owner of the Royal. And so I would not lose my eligibility for my one Royal kitten.
After they got a Royal, they sold the 0% cats back to me. I am not an Alt and as one avatar, I have never produced a Royal in 12 tries. I also tried one pair with my Alt, and got nothing, but not surprised there.
I am wondering now if this is a bug in the programming. That is, since I now own 2 cats that did produce a Royal, but not with me as the owner, that Kittycats! logic thinks I already have a Royal, since I now own one of the parents again. Long strings have a low probability too, and I am not wasting more cats to prove I can never get one.
