RE: Lost Kitty Highlighting in Pedigree
I'd separate the "dud" cats which failed to rez completely on the Dock from lost cats.
The "dud" cats should be automatically detected by the Dock and automatically returned to the Cattery. This process should only take a few seconds and the only "loss" mode would be a sim restart during the process. If this is not currently the case, it should be marked as a design flaw/bug because the solution can be fully implemented in LSL/Mono. A sim restart can be detected too, and recovered from, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort due to the very low probability of it causing a problem.
Lost cats should be separated into categories. We all lose prims, and we all forget which sim they're on. Having the SLURL for cats on the Pedigree, and showing In Cattery for those not in-world, would allow us to TP to the cat from the web site. You can call a cat to you with the HUD .. but that presumes you have a HUD attached, and that you're on the correct sim.
Lost cats lost inside inventories, or inadvertently deleted for some reason, are those which are not talking to the Mothership; and those should be highlighted as suggested above. The date/time of last contact should also appear.
To assist with finding lost boxes, we need a listing which shows only those boxes (and/or cats) NOT in the Cattery. By definition, those in the Cattery are NOT lost. Boxes also report to the Mothership on owner change, rename, and possibly other events. Having the SLURL and date/time of that report would aid greatly in finding those boxes (and/or cats).
