I feel like a chinese dictator

[Liriel Garnet]

You have my sympathies as well as complete agreement! I'm one of those who tends to birth a high ratio of males to females and have been since I first started with kittycats. When I first started, it was truly insane, if i birthed a box, it was practically guaranteed to be a boy. Now I do get a better mix, but still weighted toward boys. The only time I seem to have more girls is when a bunch of my boys age out.

Nyn posted what she did before we birthed 5 last night in a joint project, and got four boys and one girl LOL. Of course the girl was one she birthed. The only girl that I birthed yesterday was one I was putting up for a raffle (of course, right?).

It's insanely frustrating when the cat you need is the wrong sex time and again. I wasted 2-3 months on working on building 9T Aby Lilacs and had to give it up because every 'better' OS i wanted to birth to continue with was a boy. So I finally kept the nicest boxes and menageried the lives. Maybe I'll pick it up again, maybe I won't. But that's not the first time it's happened that I had to totally give up on a line, and I doubt it will be the last.

I don't know what this "new release" that they spoke of elsewhere will have that will obviate the need for sex on boxes, but I wish they'd bring it out now, not later, before too many reach a level of frustration to the point they toss it all over.

One thing that I've found that helps. If you have a friend that has the opposite sex problem, joint projects can really be awesome.
