Would anyone be willing to give me the short version of a Dummies' Guide to Traits and How They Work?? Or tell me where I can look to learn more? Any insight, however small, will be greatly appreciated!! Yes -- I'm a complete noob to this world...

I'll take a crack at this. In many ways its a mystery on how the actual traits work but what most of us tend to do is apply our knowledge of other breedables and what we have heard from the KittyCats creators and also through our own experiences. As far as experience there isn't too much to go on yet of course, we are only hitting second breedings. Although we did these in beta and bred dozens and dozens but admittedly i didn't pay to much on how traits passed. More focus was on spotting glitches and bugs.

NOTE: Everything below is my personal opinions based on my own breedings, and most of my logic comes from bunnies. While these are absolutely different I don't have much else to go on until we breed these through generation after generation. This is a game and part of that game is to figure out the breeding and its the part I enjoy....my partner on the other hand just likes to look at the pretty kittys :Tongue

My understanding is KittyCats work on the common 1 shown gene and 1 Hidden gene for each of the traits. When two cats mate and create a kitten the kitten will then receive a shown and hidden gene for each trait. These shown and hidden genes will be taken from the shown and hidden genes of the parent for each trait. So for example the fur you have 4 possibilities for the shown fur to be, if the mother and father are same fur then its 3 possibilities. If we have figured out the hidden fur of the parents and the same as the shown then we have one possibility. I guess that is the only thing I am sure (mostly sure) about actually. The rest is assumptions I am making and questions I have.

My other assumption is the cats traits are set when its first born like mentioned above and never changed. This is why you always need to buy new starters with breedables to get new traits. Yes its a money thing of course (and its not bad for people to want to make money) but it also just makes sense.

Question I have:
1. With bunnies If the shown fur came from the mother then the hidden would be pulled from the father, wonder if that's the same with KittyCats?
2. The one in 4 possibility i talked about, is it an even 25% chance of each or is the shown fur weighted higher to pass?
3. Can different furs be waited differently to pass? The assumption in bunnies is that was the case, but after breeding like 5000 of them, i don't buy it. Is there any weighted difference here?

Hope it made sense and didnt just confuse you more. I look forward to hearing other opinions and sharing our experiences to unlock some of the mystery...happy breeding Smile
