RE: Question for CSR
The traits, size, etc., are determined at the time the cat first appears. That is: a box appears in the Cattery, a box appears in-world, or a starter is taken from the delivery package.
This last is the case here.
This means the cat's traits are taken from the NOW-CURRENT set of possible traits.
For example, if a fur was available when the collection was released, but has since been retired, that fur is NOT available to the cat. Similarly, if a fur has been introduced, and is generally available to all starters, that fur IS available to the cat.
The exception to this rule is that, if a trait was only available to that collection, and not to normal starters, that trait (even though retired) is still available to the cat.
The fact that the boxes will likely need updating should not effect the traits.
Note, however, that 'extremely old' cats and delivery boxes may require a laying-on-of-hands and, occasionally even direct intervention from a deity to become usable should the needed update not be available (some where not archived) or the changes too great (possibly requiring a series of updates).
