It's recessiveness seems to be between Kaleido and Ody Bellini more info in this post »

Thank you so much! I believe this is the first discovery and KittyCats Addicts just announced the same as well!


Updated both charts to reflect the discovery of the Odyssey Slush eye!

Prismatic - Discovered by Katzen Resident - Valentine 2013, March 6 2013 http://www.flickr.com/photos/katzenmiu/8535597168/

Congratulations!

Sorry Katzen, I think this is wrong....Jolita posted a photo of these in her flicker stream on the 1st March. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16879306@N0...hotostream
I also got some birthed the other day too...I thought then I was the first but Jolita beat us

Thank you so much for providing this information! Corrected

Like I said, Deery....it's just me. I just find it odd that just weeks ago there was a thread and a poll because people didn't want their names as breeders on the pedigrees but when it comes to this thread it seems minutes or even seconds are tried to be tracked to determine whether someone was first, second or third to get a new trait, like what happened just above with the Prismatic eyes.

It doesn't really matter and I don't want to make a big deal out of it. It's just what I observe and feel and felt like saying it. That's all.

It's a bit of a stretch to allude the history document with a discoverer's name on it to a pedigree thread where people didn't want others to see an alt who may have bred a cat (I know this was my only issue with the pedigree in the other thread as alts have a right to privacy) or for the sake of newcomers not being discouraged that the entire pedigree wasn't bred in their name, and may not make a sale as a result and frighten them away from partaking in the secondary market or community as a whole. The other issue with that thread was that we need a way for people to opt out of the pedigree change no matter what their reasoning may be, and I provide this means of opting out as well with the history document.

I note that both on this thread and in the Google doc that if for some reason, someone doesn't wish for their name as discoverer or for their picture to appear, they can PM me on the forum or send me an IM/notecard in-world and I'll remove it immediately, they don't need to disclose why they wish for their name or picture to be removed, I completely understand anonymity and privacy and am all for it.

The difference between the two prismatic eye discoveries was a week apart and is worth noting. If I'm to provide the discoverer and exact date if possible for one trait, I need to strive to do so for all of them if I'm given a tip that allows me to do so, and in this case I was by both Kayleigh and Khea. (Thank you!)

While it may be important for some individuals to know the exact date and to know who pulled the trait along with a picture (I wish everyone would provide a picture, I so love these, definitely my favorite part of doing this chart, LOL!), others don't particularly care as much about these tidbits which is why I love providing that little extra information for people who do have interest in it and strive to cover all facets of our beloved KittyCats history, not just a select bit of it but any I can or am tipped off about as I'll save this information anyway as reference for later. That's a positive perspective of this detailed history thread and doc; it may have some information that you find handy, while others find the some of the other information handy, and some find all of it handy or at least interesting knowledge to glance over, and that's great in itself that it may be useful in such a myriad of ways, and with a thread woven by the kindness of the community at that.

There's no big deal at all, everyone's perspective is different as shown here and that's why this doc has so much information to provide for every perspective. Hugs!

And my apologies for writing a novel LOL, I tend to type on the (very) long side!
