RE: How are the Confetti kitties going for you?

Sounds like there needs to be something so special about the confettis that while the odds stay the same the feeling of reward is such that people consider it a worthy gamble and don't feel that losing the gamble colors the breeding of "normal" KittyCatS. Although ... isn't this pretty much what the Menagerie series does? You get them because they're unusual and it's a triumph to obtain one.
One thing I've been seeing in months of confetti discussion is a kneejerk dismissal of starter offspring as worthless unless they show something super duper extra-special. I think the problem is more psychology than mathematics: Many who discuss confettis *expect* great rewards (goodness knows about the ones who don't discuss them), which isn't really how the average KC owner thinks. Unfortunately the average person tends to respond to these discussions by feeling embarrassed that their own highs aren't so stratospheric. So they go quiet and socialize less.
