Well thanks Kay, Vamp and Ms
I'd like to say that this was just another golden nugget that popped out of my awesome grey matter
(whaa ?!!) but in fact it was KCR who'd already thought of this in the link i gave above so i just developed a bit .
We know well by now that just because they say no to us often they really do regularly reconsider our more reasonable requests.
Remember gender on boxes ? In fact it's only since sometime in summer 2012 that we've had access to this feature :
http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=1385 (i do like going back over these older threads, takes me back to the times when we had a lot of long and really interesting, often heated, discussions in this forum.)
Anyhow i know that this suggestion will be considered, so cross fingers everyone who supports.

Recap for those who tend to skim posts (like me) : this suggestion is NOT just to have a cheap permapet, it will also make the kitty NO-TRANSFER, therefore NON-MARKETABLE.
