Silver Whiskers and Natural Shade as traits

[Tad Carlucci]

What I don't understand is why the word 'Genesis' makes it 'not a trait'.

Sure, back in the day, five years ago, 'Genesis - Flame' was a starter fur. But it's NOT a starter fur any more. Five years ago, it was one of the five most-dominant furs. But it has not been so, for YEARS, now! There's over a DOZEN fur values which are MORE dominant.

Yet, still, it's not counted. And why? Simply because it's a 'Genesis' fur!

But it's a RETIRED fur. It's no longer available in Starters. And, as a former starter, it's been avoided for so long, liable for immediate Menagerie, that, I wonder, how many actually even have 'Genesis - Flame'?

Having one, and breeding it, now, takes a level of dedication I'm sure few have.

It must be galling, to those few who have 'Genesis - Flame', which is only one step more dominant than the nearly equally-scarce 'American Shorthair - Red Tabby', to have THEIR 'perfect line' NOT counted, when those who have managed to hold on to 'Red Tabby' DO count.
