After letting this sit for a day, I am amazed at the different opions and reasons, anger and conspiracy theories. Here I just thought this was a really cool tool to give credit where credit is due, be able to see where my purchased kitties (gasp...omg yes most of my lines started with someone else!) started out and how far they have progressed (transparency can be a great tool depending on how you look at it). Then this great tool morphs into a way to out someones alt (could care less who your alts are...but in retrospect if you want privacy don't use your alts to conduct the same business as your main). Ugh...then the whole elitist thing....again it just amazes me at how seriously some take this...Should you be proud of a kitty you took from a Sega cat to a full 9T? Sure....heck I will freely admit the first time I bred out a Flame Siamese I squeeled a little...especially when that elusive shade popped up. And the white Russian line I worked on to get exactly what I wanted. As far as auctioneers...there are various rules no matter where you auction. Some want live, some allow boxes...some what more traits...some will take less. Now I will say I ran into a situation twice where someone WAS told their kitty was not good enough to auction and was asked to remove it. Because of these two particular instances, I have not returned as a spectator or seller. It's thats easy

With any large community you have various personalities, and these will invariably create cliques or groups that get along well and will exclude others; whether they mean to or not. Much like real life we all find our niche here in the virtual world, and it is ultimately up to each of of us how we interact with each other. For me, I choose to have a good time, meet interesting people, breed some pixel cats, and hopefully make enough off of sales to feed the little kitty-pigs. So I guess to wrap up, geez peeps...this is a cool little tool that was asked for in various posts, take it play with it, see what it will do for you...if it offers nothing for you then hey no biggie, for me I think it is a great way to see the beginning of my kitties, and lets be honest we all like to see our line pop up as a "grandkitty"....I have heard that at many, many auctions. So relax, enjoy and have fun
