I can't really tell if I would have been tempted by that picture because I met KittyCatS in world via the RFL 2011 costume kitties and they were very colorful and when I first payed a visit to the website during my registration I though that Genesis Diamond was pretty cute actually just like a real cat and that was pretty tempting.
The secrets behind the KittyCatS I uncovered way later and what they could hide I liked that journey in a way.
Perhaps I would have been discouraged if I saw all beautiful cats when I got my first genesis XD
I loved my Domino right away as I liked him better than the Diamond on the front page so I felt I was a very epic breeder already
If I only knew but I kind of like the fact that it is a surprise.
Now KittyCatS is my first breedable so maybe that is different than for someone who bred various creatures.
But can you imagine I threw away my first kitty, from which I later heard was pretty rare, which showed a glitter shade?
That kitty scared the crap out of me and it had fire eyes too >.<
Maybe die hard breeders want to know what a kitty can hide and all in first instance to know straight away if it is to their taste.
I think if I was confronted with a picture of a kitty with unnatural for example ody eyes and an Illume shade and pointed soft fold ears or ody 1 ( they did not excist back then) I would have ran away real quick.
These type of traits need to grow on us I think.
Therefore I understand they have chosen for a pretty average kitty the customer will likely meet after they bought a starter kit in the store the chances are high a genesis diamond is in the pack.
I think the fun part is one can find out themselves what that kitty hides made me feel back then a littlebit like a genius while if they showed all epicness up front it might have felt unreachable or not as a surprise or even if the kitty looks very funky not so attractive
As for the information offered on the main page I think this could need indeed some adjustments.
