If what the cat Hides is accurate, then how is that a gimmick? If a genesis fur hides a new rare fur, and it is proven to be so, should that cat only be labeled as as a genesis fur, with no mention that is is hiding a fur discovered 5 days ago worth 20K? Really?
I don't use the term Hide - I put accurate hidden traits of significance in parenthesis after the showing traits. And since I breed most of my cats from starters to 9T, I don't have to guess about the past pedigree. If I am not sure, I don't list a hidden.
Every cat I breed gets important hidden traits listed in the name - for MY OWN USE, when it is born. I see no reason to delete the hidden information when I sell them.
What I really hate is people who list a kittenbox name as "New Kitten", and then don't even check the "Enable In World Pedigree Link" box or include a pedigree giver. I never buy a cat without all the information listed. And, the more information listed in the name, the more useful area search is when looking for a trait at a busy sim.
