As if that's not enough, once you click 'send in' ... you get another prompt that once more reminds you it's a permanent action and asks if you're really sure.
Well I generally read the prompts but my problem has been accidentally clicking the wrong cat/box to menagerie, not clicking the wrong button
I'm not very coordinated with the mouse and when I'm doing cat stuff, 75% of the time I'm in a rush because I have to go to work, so I click on the wrong cat A LOT lol
I've also caught myself doing the menagerie/cattery button mismatch a few times but have noticed upon confirming, thank goodness. I'm not sure why; I suppose it could be the placement of the buttons some of the time but I do know from working with other dialogs on other objects that I find the text really hard to read on them, so it might be a combination of those two things for a lot of people. I definitely can't read the print on a dialog box without sticking my face up to the screen, so often I just look for shapes of familiar words, and I'll bet that a lot of people do that same thing... seeing the confirmation message for menagerie or cattery, maybe they're figuring it's one and not the other?
But yeah, an "undo" option would be nice, even if only for a limited time period. My understanding is that menagerie actually removes the cat's record and related data from the database tables completely, so recovery is impossible. Maybe adding an "audit table" or a temporary menagerie table that automatically purges records that are > 24 hours old every day would work?
Suggestion: Being able to get menagerie cats retrieved
