RE: Suggestion: Milk to specific cats
Exactly. In the cattery, we need to create a "geography" concept; not only for milk and food, but for a number of other reasons, including stock organization and management, and even allowing users to control pairings without the need for using the "partner" facilities.
One form of "geography" would be to take the familiar "folders" concept, which could be renamed to something more appropriate to cats. This is a one-to-many mapping. Another would be a one-to-one mapping where a specified quantity of food or milk can be allocated to a specific cat. The only other mapping would be many-to-many and I can't see a use for that when it comes to supply-to-cat mappings.
At present, the workaround would be to use ALT accounts to segregate stock in the Cattery. While that works, requiring no programming effort on the part of the KittyCatS, it's cumbersome, error-prone, and does not scale well.
Correction: a many-to-many mapping would allowing sharing stock (for breeding purposes), and allowing modelling 'group access' food and milk.
