Gender Ratio of Kittens
I've gotten 14 boxes and all but three have been female. Do vitamins or something else affect this? How do I get more boys??

RE: Gender Ratio of Kittens
It's been an issue since the beginning of KittyCats. It's part of the "game".
It is very frustrating for people doing project line breeding.
It is a material lesson in statistical deviation from the 50/50 people expect with gender distribution. (Although, generally speaking, I think KittyCats has weighted algorithms and does not just do simple dice-rolling odds.)
It also encourages people to turn to the secondary market for partners, which can be a good thing.

RE: Gender Ratio of Kittens
I have this problem with several of my lines. It's very frustrating to pull all the right traits multiple times on the wrong gender. I've always thought a gender bending vitamin that could be purchased would be a nice addition (though I don't know the full logic in not having an option like that available already). It would be nice for experienced breeders to really hone in on the traits they're chasing from the offspring that they have bred.
