Hello kitty lovers
I wanted to try something different and unpair all my kitties. Sometimes I tend to wake them up if they are both at 100% and one is sleeping because I am anxious to see baby arrive. However, I thought I would throw caution to the wind and see what happens if I don't wake anyone up and mix and match all the kitties in 2D cat form as I have been doing in the past but this time, not pairing them at all and just leaving them to partner as they go along.
QUESTION: Is this ok for breeding or will it slow down the breeding process? It would be nice to see what kind of baby I get with kitties I would not normally have paired.
Thank you for your replies.
If it wants to breed and is not paired, it will "randomly" choose from the potential un-paired mates, or wait for one to become ready.
Charm and I used to use this behavior every few years to "stir the pot" putting N males and N+1 females in an area. Once the first random selection pairs up what it can, it becomes chose the next-male since there will always be a female ready and the system guarentees that eventually (in N+1 cycles) every male will have bred with every female once.
Oh really? I know so very little about breeding. I am learning as I go along.
I have to tell you that I have been having female after female for the past 3 months. Not a male in sight. lol lol
What is N and N+1?
Thank you for your response

Suprisingly long runs of one gender should be expeced. They are, however, usually phantoms since humans tend to overlook things which don't fit their ideas.
I'm a mathematician. N means "some number" and N+1 means a different number. So 5 boys and 6 girls will pair up best they can this week. Boy 1 with Girl 1, 2 with 2, leaving girl 6 with no partner. Next week Girl 6 will get with Boy 1, Girl 1 with Boy 2, etc. leaving Girl 5 with no partner. And so on until week 6 where the cycle starts over with 1-1.
Cats in the Cattery must be paired to breed or they will never "see" each other.
I find that cats in world breed much more quickly when paired. This has to do with sim lag rather than the KittyCats system.
Thank you Tad for your informative answer.
