RE: Build-a-cat
My feeling was that the only rule for when a Pedigree/Cattery image would be installed should have been once it had been discovered. And, once discovered, all flavors of the image should be installed. It was explained to me that it's "more complex" What "more complex" means was never defined. All I can say is there are traits which have been discovered, have been shown to be breedable, but for which certain combinations of traits have no image.
The images are "combined" in a rather logical manner. Eye color/shape/pupil-size is one combination. Whisker color/shape is another. Ear/fur is the final combination. Ear selects the shadow, as well. Tail is not visible in the images, and shade would be all but impossible to show on the web.
Size is shown on the Pedigree/Cattery pages by scaling the images. This is a bit problematic with the new sizes .. some of them scale so large the ears (and possibly even the eyes) are getting cut off. My page doesn't do size. I display the image at it's "natural" size .. the size of the actual image file.
