RE: How are the Confetti kitties going for you?
While I fully agree with the il-advised 'kneejerk' reaction that all non-Confetti offspring are worthless, you have to remember that Confetti Starters *are* just Normal Starters with an extra 'Confetti-ness'.
A more apt analysis of Confetti Starters would be to ask yourself .. do I want Normal Starters in my breeding program? If the answer is 'Yes' then the addition of 'Confetti-ness' might be something to consider.
If, however, you're 'breeding for Confetti' then you're playing a losing game.
And, yes, if you're only interested in the Menagerie Starter-ness of Confetti, you might be better served by simply going for 'normal' Menagerie starters such as the Le Tigre. At least, with those, you know, going in, that you're not going to ever see a Le Tirge offspring, so you're not setting yourself up for the bad feelings the near-consistent failure of Confetti's engenders.
Perhaps a middle-ground would be to have a permanent Special-Offspring Menagerie Starter. Something which works like the old Lepricat (meaning you can get the offspring, not that there is a limit to the total number of offspring game-wide like they had). Even at 1-in-10 odds, where you'd have a fairly high chance of breeding out to 120 days and never seeing the offspring, you'd know, going in, that breeding offspring-to-parent or offspring-to-offspring would never produce another. So, that should almost (but not quite) eliminate the bad feelings that Confetti seem to be breeding. Set the odds at 1-in-4 and you're be fairly sure of getting one and, possibly, getting a second or even a third, before the parents aged out and you'd need to go back to the Main Shop to get more.
