I usually use a fur & eye combo with add +x#T to show how many additional traits are there. After all clicking on the boxes/image tells you what is there. The in brackets {} I usually try to use the same "naming" conventions lol simply so I don't forget what they hide.
Your right it's usually shortens considerably. Then on some I forget if I was referring to Curious tail, ears, or whiskers. Which works sometimes unless they are low trait-ed. ... :lol:
