Own planning kittens / cats

You can plan future litters for many generations forward easily with planning kittens. Inbreeding and ancestor loss coefficient is calculated when you save a new planning kitten with parent information and see the pedigree of the planned litter, compare parents' pedigrees or check the occurences of properties in the pedigree of the planning kitten.

Parents of the planning kitten may be any cat found in the registry or any of the planning kittens you have added - it gives you possibility to make plans for many generations.

Planning kittens are available for you as long as you want - planning kittens are saved to the database and so available also in the next time you login to ProCat-registry. When you don't need the planning kitten anymore you can delete it - if it is not a parent to any other planning kitten of yours.

You can add new planning kittens by clicking "Add a new planning kitten" link in the end of the page or take a look or change any of the planning kittens you have saved earlier by clicking the name of a planning kitten.
