RE: Teacup breeding
Awesome mega, Kayla! Congrats! Bengal blacks with interesting black whiskers are so impressive! I also love it when they have interesting tails.
I am intrigued by Tad's suggestion about "shifting your box production to a low traffic time of the day." I did get one LE mega by superstitiously taking my unidentified box purchase to a favorite sandbox at 3 a. m. to rez it out. Low traffic sandbox, low traffic time. Who knows? Randomness just happens. Still ...
Yes theoretically size is random. But there are also some kitties with a lot of "special sizes" in their family trees. Coincidence or formula, who knows? Randomness can be calculated in many many different ways. The only answer we ever get, when asking about sizes, is that "it's random". But what kind of random it is, exactly, we don't know.
Even regular kitty breedings have enormous amounts of randomness in the selection of their traits. Generally with the regular 9 traits we know it's a " coin toss" for each parent, with each parent contributing one of its two "genes" for each given trait. On Size, we really don't know what type of randomness is used, except for the statistics already gathered about how many to expecct , of each size, per one hundred kittens. Even those numbers would benefit from larger sample sizes.
And we still don't know if kitties carry a size-likeliness gene somehow ... that would not be ruled out by the "it's random" statement.
