I'd love the pedigree to include more generations, and to be automatically "on" for a cat or a box that is put up for sale!
I haven't really bought cats recently, so I do not know a thing about the cheating that others report - but it saddens me to hear that it is apparantly going on
However, as a dedicated breeder myself, I often find myself having difficulties to prove certain traits being present in a cat - like, I would have to include the cat's pedigree, the parents and/or grandparents' pedigree PLUS the siblings' pedigree(s) to prove what I claim.... and at this point, it becomes so confusing that people would be in their good right to doubt my claim anyway
As a result, I have menageried boxes that I know could breed out 9-traited wonders with great eyes, furs and traits, simply because I refuse to sell such a cat for less than it is worth - and I have no way to prove it's worth and hence get the right price for it.
So, every time my cats breed out less than they show, the box ends up in my "black corner".... Combine any two kittens from these boxes and you could, with some luck, get a 10k-cat just like that - but since those kittens have less chance than their parents, they stay in the box as long as they're with me. -Which is a damn shame, really.
So, long story short: YES PLEASE to more generations in pedigree, and YES to pedigrees being available on cats!
The online pedigree should be viewable by anyone even with out pedigree sign
