Don´t understand… different information

[Molemina Resident]

Hi.

When i click on the link Pedigree i can see my box with my St. Paddys boy and i can then see se following traits.

St. Paddy's Boy - Lucky Dream- Fur
St. Paddy Green (Mysterious|Small) - Eyes
Flash - shade
Swanky - Tail
Genesis - Ears
St. Paddy Green - Wiskars
(Plush) - shape
Normal - size

But if i click on him to see his ancestors too i can see following information

St. Paddy's Boy - Lucky DreamOpen
Fur: Genesis - Domino IV
Eyes: Fire (Curious|Small)
Shade: Natural
Tail: Genesis
Ears: Genesis
Whiskers: Silver (Mysterious)
Size: Normal

Why are they different? and what will he have? Will he look like the first ones trait but are caring the other ones? Or will he look like the second information and are carrying the other traits?

Collector cats, like this St Paddy edition, are wearing costumes.

When you hatch this kitteh, it will look like the St Paddy costume.

Underneath the costume is the basic traited kitteh.

The only way to see underneath the costume is file a support ticket
and have them remove it permanently.

Unless the kitteh underneath the costume is something uber cool,
its doubtful you would really want to do that.

The costume 'traits' do not pass through the breeding process.

So if you use this kitteh for breeding, the costume traits wont count.

He will always look like the first set, but when he breeds, the second set are his shown traits for breeding. There is also a third set of traits that you can't see that are the hidden traits that he could also give when breeding, so...

First set = His external appearance

Second set (Shown Traits)
+ Hidden Traits
= Traits for breeding

The Shown Traits & Hidden Traits still came from his parents, as per usual.
The St. Paddy's is a special costume that any box produced this week has a random chance of getting. It's one per avatar/account, and collectible.

And, I love Domino IVs BTW!

Thank you both

Each trait appears THREE times:

The VISIBLE value.
The DOMINANT value.
The RECESSIVE value.

For most cats, the VISIBLE and DOMINANT are exactly equal, and we call it the SHOWN instead of DOMINANT. And we often call the RECESSIVE the HIDDEN.

But, for Special Collection Starters, and the St Patrick's offspring, it can get confusing because, for them, the VISIBLE and DOMINANT are different. These cats show the visible and hide (sorta) both the dominant and recessive. But, even for them, when you check the online Pedigree, you'll see the DOMINANT, rather than VISIBLE.
