hey alyssa,
anything that is not what a starter cat is born with, is considered a "countable trait". as in the graphic example shown above.
the thought behind this comes from the breeding aspect of KittyCatS, where some people really like to get a lot of traits on a cat that aren't the ones they can be born with. for many it's a fun challenge to add to their cats, all kinds of traits in all kinds of mixtures, did you know there are over 50 million possibilities???? so one can truly have their own unique KittyCat!
also, because the KittyCatS community is very diverse, not everyone breeds to get the MOST traits, but many, many people try to breed things they personally like, and some people love the "genesis" traits!
(believe it or not)
also, words like "perfect" cat, are things the community has come up with, and things like that vary too in the community as again, each person really can do whatever they like. some like going to the newest offerings and others like to preserve more classic traits, and some like to mix it all up when it comes to breeding! there is NO right way when it comes to what you want to breed for! many people have their own "perfect" cat and it may have all genesis traits or just one or 2!!! the term "perfect" really means, 9 traits, as no more can be added.
so while you are breeding we wish you a lot of fun and happy surprises!
hpoe that all helps!!!
