I really wish there was more OBIOUS info about this released
maybe on the kittycats website to help protect ppl from making this mistake,
yes i am a victim of not knowing about this in the beginning,
I made the mistake of assuming it was more like rl than it is,
im kinda too smart for my own good and I tend to get in trouble sometimes
because I simply tend to over think things and make them more complicated
than they should be, and I know I'm not the only one who is like this.
I'm also very right brained and dyslexic and don't like to look at diagrams
for more than a few minutes cause it hurts my brain,
lemme just say that I HAD looked over everything twice and I found
this fact is really not obvious about kittycats,
I went 4 months before finding out about it, and the way i found out
was by being bombarded and badgered by more than one person at a time
at the bidboards in a very stressful way,
being accused of trying to fool ppl when you're the kind of person who would
never hurt a fly, kinda hurts, yeah it's actually kinda more than lame!
So I'm left feeling sad and broke after i have wasted a bunch of money
on having to refund ppl i mistakenly sold mislabeled cats and what not,
and that perhaps maybe this is leaving too much room for ppl to be shoddy,
there are the ones who definitely know better but maybe they can't help
themselves and just want to take advantage or perhaps they slip up and
make a typo or a mistake, I'm not naming any names I'm just making a
general statement, but all of it gives a real bad name for kittycats breeders
and whats worse is innocent newcomers like myslef will be perceived as
one of these shoddy ppl and just beacause they have no idea whats going on,
so yeah might help to say that its NOT exactly like rl and the 50/50 shuffling thing
from each parent needs to be explained in ten different ways for ALL the different
types of learners, cause thats NOT exactly how it is in real life, it is more like
shuffling of trillions of genetics from all your relatives in the past in rl and in
kittycats its just 50/50 between the two cats, thats a BIG difference,
and its clear to see why ppl who know nothing about the limits of programming
and script writing could easily assume that it is just like it is in RL and theres the
possibility for traist to be passed down from both sides of parents even dominant
ones, when it is NOT, it is NOT like THAT at ALL!!! and its not hard to see why
ppl would think it is naturally based on what they might already know about
breeding in RL. And so perhaps it really needs to be plastered all over the place
especially on the KC website for newcomers , since education really is the best
weapons against real scammers, perhaps someone should make a blog devoted to
JUST THIS.
or else when newcomers come they might get the wrong idea about kittycats
and the community, and perceive it as just a huge moneypit where everyone
dupes each other to take advantage, and nobody in kittycats I'm sure wants that
kinda negativity directed at our commerce. Just a thought .
Maybe as good citizens in this community we can all try to lend a hand in
gently reminding ppl about this and referring them to this forum INSTEAD
of arguing or just giving them links to the dominance charts that they
probably already have seen, and if they do seem new and really have no idea
what they r doing please don't assume they do, and that they are just trying
to take advantage, mislableing cats is one thing, but mislabeling ppl THAT
hurts someone more than I can say.
Better to be as polite as possible and gentle as possible while perhaps while you
assess how much this person may or may not actually know, whats important is
that they know that where you are coming from is a place of love and that you
are only there to help and take care of them not to be snarky uppity or rude.
Afterall a community is supposed to be all for one and one for all,
just thought that was standard
