Could it not just be added to the front page, just like showing box gender in pedigree? One checkbox instead of many? I think many many people would love this.

The place to add the option would be your options page .. right where you already have the options to show box gender in the Pedigree and Cattery, and to allow others to browse previous generations of your cats.
Also, unless the system is completely redesigned, setting the option should NOT effect existing cats and boxes in-world (only those newly ariving in-world from birth, dock, bottle, whatever).
That would be three options on the My Account page. I can think of several more which really should be there. So, it would also be time to split My Account into tabs (or whatever) to clean up the developing mess there.

Adding my vote of confidence, "Yes, Please, KC, make it so!"
Please add inworld pedigree link enabling for all cats!
And as another breeder wrote earlier in the thread, "Who's trying to hide it?" NodNodNod heartily! Why would we want to hide pedi info? I mean ... unless the kitty has (shudder) a Skeleton in the Closet! (and ... being a descendant of a Skelecat would not be a bad thing
)I shudder to think of having to go through all those clicks for each of several hundred boxes. It's not that "clicking is hard," but rather, it's one more thing that can add "gratuitous time-consuming-ness" to the kitty experience.
I am noticing how some things require a ton of extra clicks and waitings ... each kitty page takes a while to load ... during which time you have to watch the spinning thing go around, and sometimes the page doesn't load. Even looking at a pedigree page makes you do a gratuitious click for "View this kitty's pedigree?" Like ... yeah, why did I click a million things to get to this page if i didn't want to view this kitty's pedigree? why are you asking me again?
Other gratuitous time-consuming-nesses:
*being asked if you're male or female , every single time you go to pet a cat. Give each cat a "memory" so that it knows the gender of its owner? Or maybe use unisex cat-petting poses? After all this time ... my cats should know my gender.
*having the prices removed from the boxes if a for-sale kitty is sent to cattery or updated. (this one could be impossible to fix from within KC, though).
* the fact that kitties don't gain happiness while being walked, only cuddled/held -- this limitation rules out a lot of other activities ... things you can't do while humoring a kitty. It's hard to build or ... do photos or make stuff ... and KC DOES want kitty owners to continue to be productive citizens, right? so don't disable our avatars when we pay attention to kitties . There's really no good reason why the kitty can't become happier while attached as walking-buddy -- except maybe to reinforce the idea that kitties don't have owners, they have staff. Liberate our little avatar-bodies so we can get something done while snurgling them?
Summary of the above: yes, pleeze, make a global "enable inworld pedigree" button that only has to be clicked once!

This one is most definitely impossible to do anything about.

Or better yet, just make the Pedigree page visible by default. What is the reason why KittyCats thinks this should be an option?
I still see cats for sale at shops and auction boards with no pedigree visible. This is a real problem for special costume cats - where you can't see that that cute costume is just that, and you are buying nothing but a starter for breeding purposes.
I have known several noobs that thought the costume traits were real, since the seller conveniently did not check the pedigree box OR include a pedigree giver. All this does is sour a newbie on the KittyCats experience, by taking advantage of their newness to sell them something that is not what it appears in the chat listing!
