BTW, Chaos Theory can handle those two almost-random images and allow us to work on the emerging non-randomness. It can't do a thing with the random one because .. it's truly random .. there are not patterns to emerge.
I don't think it's a matter of not trusting, they may decide (or have decided) to change things up a little bit to keep the cats fresh, and viable. In fact, at the Q&A, they said so much as that they would be adding trait(s) at some point, along with other surprises. I have recently gotten into the kitties, after bad experiences with two of the first three breedable pet types. after a certain run time, depending on how the creators handle things, the popularity dives due to boredom, overpopulation, and/or creator indifference once they've reached a "plateau". I haven't seen any indication of these with the kitties as of yet, and the fact that the creators are still heavily involved with the community this far in is a very good sign.
Change can be good though, as I said, to keep it fresh, and since the creators are accepting (and asking for) the community's input, I'm sure any changes they make would be welcomed by the majority of kittycats owners.
