What can be expected to happen when you breed a starter with a starter?

generally you get very low trait babies.. much better to breed a starter to a high trait kitty

Logically that is what I thought, but somewhere I read that it is good to pair a starter with a starter, but i don't remember the reasoning behind it and can't find that post or document anywhere now.

More than likely it's because some "starters" which is what collection kitties are released as with a costume make a special baby. Unless of course your breeding for genesis traits or trying to trait down or breed out.

Yes, unless there is a "special" where starter-to-starters is a Requirement, any time you see advice that breeding a starter to another starter is a good idea, your rule of thumb should be to presume the person making the statement does not know what they're talking about.

If the advice is honestly meant, it can only be because the person giving it prefers spending a lot more money, for much lower results, but really enjoys the occasional surprise appearing from a long line of low-trait-count Genesis cats.

Glad I asked! Thanks for the clarification.
