While a website with full pedigree information would be great, a stop-gap (that could form part of an API) would be two web services that, given a cat's ID, return the parents' IDs and return the cat's genetic traits.
As Kristoffer mentioned, tracking lineage is really important and an API (as opposed to a full website) would hopefully make this feature available more quickly.
I agree what is needed can be such a simple web interface that you just enter in a cats ID and returns back its parents with their ID's, you can then digger deeper down its lineage by entering in the parents IDs.
A BIG mistake made by Ozimals was never offering something like this and telling everyone they were working on a full system which then took them a year to come out with and was so bloated with useless features they never focused on the real intent and that was lineage tracking.
While a very nice interface and a way to view at least 3 generations back on one screen with minimal clicks is needed, in the meantime just throw up a simple web page to verify genetics.
On the opposing side I guess will be people saying they dont want their genetic info publicly viewable by everyone, myself I dont feel that way, but I understand that opinion.
