Extinction

[Songdog Woolley]

I admit it, I'm one of those hoarders. Early in my Kitty obsession (before profilers), I'd spend evenings cruising the secondary markets for interesting things. In my travels, I learned quickly how uncommon some traits had become, so I set about collecting them all. I'm sure I'm not the only one. It took a long time and continues still, as the combinations are endless, and each combination has potential to benefit future breeding programs. I regularly breed old traits with new; and am currently breeding Abyssinian Fawn, Burmese Champagne, and Silver & White Tabby, as well as similarly old retired eyes and other traits. A while ago I even "traited up" the original Genesis Flame fur, which was a fun project and lasted about a year. As long as I am in KittyCats, no trait will go extinct if I can help it! :-)
