Hi all
I went and did some reasearch into the database so I could give you a detailed answer on this gender issue.
I selected a few different time frames to get an overall view of the spread between male and female cats.
Here are the findings:
1. For all cats/boxes ever born since KittyCatS! started 49.85% were male, 50.15% female.
2. For all active cats alive, 50.1% are male, 49.9% female
3. For all unopened boxes born in the past day 48.89% were male, 51.11% female.
4. For the unopened boxes born in the past 15 minutes 54.55% were male, 45.45% female
I also looked at the balance for one specific trait:
For all "American Shorthair - Red Tabby's" ever born 50.2% were male, 49.8% female.
As a final note I checked the gender for all unopened boxes ever bred by the Original Poster (Anna Acanthus):
51.7% of them have been male, 48.3% have been female. (this includes sold boxes and boxes sent to the menagerie as well).
Adjusting the gender towards each person to ensure they have an exact 50% spread is only possible by making the system totally predictable, so one would at the end know that for example, if this was a girl, the next born will be a boy, and after that a girl again.
But as you can see, despite the thought you sometimes might get about genders being unequal, its rather equal already. Apart from the guarenteed "girl" or "boy" starters for sale in the store, the current system leads to nearly an exact 50/50 split.
I hope this gives you some insight.
Regards
