Teacup breeding

[Kayla Woodrunner]

I know randomness means that sometimes within randomness, you can get coincidences which means a particular pair may get more than it's share of special size babies. So I do understand that intellectually, Tad.

However, I do agree with Vrem, on a gut level, it does seem like once in a blue moon, I get a special pair who pop out the specials. Now I like to crossbreed a lot so for the most part, my cats don't often get the same partner again and again. I made one exception because they would pop out specials Abby + Tannen. Here was the line up.

Child 1. Normal (Parents: Lucia + Tannen xmas starter). This child is named Bridgette, Tannen's daughter
Child 2. Toy (Parents: Abby + Tannen) This child is named Morella.
Child 3. Toy (Parents: Abby + Tannen)
Child 4. Normal (Parents: Abby + Meeko)
Child 5. Normal (Parents: Bridgette + Tannen)
Child 6. Normal (Parents: Abby + Ferrell)
Child 7. Normal (Parents: Bridgette + Tannen)
Child 8. Teacup (Parents: Abby + Tannen)
Child 9. Normal (Parents: Abby + Tannen)
Child 10. Normal (Parents: Morella + Tannen)
Child 11. Normal (Parents: Abby + Patches)
Child 12. Normal (Parents: Abby + Bede)
Child 13. Mega (Parents: Numina + Tannen)
Child 14. Normal (Parents: Pia + Tannen)

Abby and Tannen had 5 children together. 2 toys, 1 teacup and 2 normal
All other Abby children are norms
Tannen had 1 mega with another and the rest were norms.

If about 1 in 7 are special, you would expect most cats to have 1 to 2 children who are special if you breed the full cycle of 120 days getting about 10-15 children. So these two together were incredibly high. I was sad, though, that Tannen was a starter as he liked to pass genesis traits along with special sizes. The one child I did birth only had 1 special. I didn't birth 2 of the specials as genesis fur. Tannen's mega child I sold so don't know about its children. I bought Abby and Tannen from a love table so they probably had children before I got them but again I have no way of knowing if they were special sizes.

I really wish I could have more kittycats that would have 4 special chidren! Sadly, it never happened again.
