Oh, you're NOT the only one!
When I first started and saw the pics of the Boo Boo traits on the website, I didn't like them, but then when I saw them on cats in world, I decided they weren't so bad - they give the cat character - plus, that another T, right? And, I do feel like "that's a scrappy cat" when I see a couple boo boo traits on the same cat.
But that's different from wanting to have them in my breeding lines. I start wondering what the heck the cats have been doing while I was gone that all their babies have them! :-)
And then you have the BIG Boo Boos. My girl said that the tail on one looked "evil". That's a bit strong, and while that's one tough cat, since when do cute, little, innocent kittens that you just want to protect and love inherit their parent's battle scars? (Everyone say, "aww".) But, honesty, in adding those particular T's, I feel more like I'm selling a deformed cat than a "better" one.
I really like the boo boo whiskers - I think they are some of the most naturalistic and have a lot of character. I don't mind a bit o'boo boo on the ears. But the boo boo tails, no. I've got way more of those than I want but they tend to be hiding posh in my lines and so I work with them. I will be happy to see the last of them exorcised.

*nods* The boo boo whiskers don't bother me at all, and I quite like them as well. It's boo boo, and especially Big boo boo, ears and tails that get me.
I love the boo boo ears and whiskers! I find them very sweet and endearing. My sweet furbaby that passed a year ago had a boo boo ear. I adopted her when she was 12 and that boo boo ear was one of the reasons my heart completely melted. I think it gave her character. She was a doll. She was 17 years old when she passed.
My ocd doesn't like the boo boo tail though because it bends oddly.
