All about Confetti kittens: 8 total colors found! update

[Eleanor8 Resident]

Fifteen weeks in and my first 4 pairs have now retired. I’ve been adding to the original 8 by a combination of a few I’ve bought, some of the offspring I’ve bred and some newbies from the vendors – one thing they do is give is plenty of genesis kitten boxes to send to menagerie to get more cats.

So, week one saw 4 pairs breeding and somehow by week 15 I was up to 18 pairs. I’ve back bred the offspring, swapped the partners around, paired colour with colour (of the few colours I’ve got), generally mixed it up.

Results have been mixed. Disappointingly few colours – I got Appleberry with the week 1 kittens, Orangeberry appeared in week 6 and Blueberry in week 12. I swapped an Appleberry for a Plumberry (who has refused to pass her fur so far). They are however good at producing sized kitties – they have made an Orangeberry Mega, and Appleberry Mega and two Cocoberry Megas as well as a good mix of other sizes.

I’ve had some very good weeks and some very bad ones – week 11 was perhaps the worst – all they made was 16 genesis kittens. But they have made some very cute cats.

I just wish it was a bit more consistent and transparent how they work. With normal Kittycats I now know how to pull traits, trait up, etc. With these I’m still pretty clueless. Some of the cats have been good cats and have produced quite a few confetti offspring, others have been pretty awful – Phil, my first Appleberry, a cute little teacup – has made 14 kittens up to now, one Appleberry finally appeared in week 12 but his other 13 kittens have all been genesis, regardless of who he was paired with.

I was considering throwing in the towel but seem to have 6 new confetti kittens running around in cattery, so I guess I’m continuing.
