When people say "trait" what they generally mean is "desirable trait". It's accepted (but that could change in the future) that Genesis Earth is an "undesirable trait" and gender is usually an "unimportant trait".
*chuckles* this is exactly why I generally refer to them as non-genesis traits. If we counted your way, there are a lot of traits i wouldn't count (like pink & white fur and pink eyes) cause to me they're far more undesirable on a cat than a genesis fur or eye.
To the original poster, these are the 'genesis' traits
fur: any fur with the word 'genesis' in the name
eye color: any eye color with the word 'genesis' in the name
eye shape: curious
pupil size: big
shade: natural
tail: genesis
ears: genesis
whisker color: silver
whisker shape: guitar
non 'breedable' traits
size: normal (toys and teas do not pass their size as a trait that follows the normal kittycats trait inheritance rules, tho most believe that they tend to run in 'lines' or 'families' similar to the tendency toward twins or other multiple births in human genetics)
anything else is considered a non-genesis (and thus by most definitions is a 'countable' trait) when considering a kitty
Traits??
