Kittens

Kittens live inside a litter. You can't create a kitten on its own — start from Litters (/admin/litters in your admin), open a litter, and use the Add a kitten button.

Once a kitten exists, it gets its own edit page at /admin/kittens/[id] (/admin/kittens/[id] in your admin) — that's where photos and the public toggle live.

Required fields

• Name
• Sex

Optional fields

• Color, markings — free text
• Price — decimal, optional. Shown on the public profile when set.
• Status — Available (default), Reserved, or Sold.
• Photos — same gallery system as cats. First photo is the cover.

The status field

This drives a lot of UX automatically:

| Status | Public effect | |---|---| | Available | Shows in the Available filter on /our-kittens, counts toward the Available counter on your Dashboard. | | Reserved | Shows in the Reserved filter. Still has a profile page. | | Sold | Moves to the Alumni section at the bottom of /our-kittens. Profile page stays live. |

Public toggle — the rule

A kitten only shows publicly if both its litter and the kitten itself are public. If the litter is private, the kitten is hidden even if its toggle is on.

That's so you can prepare a whole litter privately, then flip the litter public once you're ready — without flipping every kitten one at a time. Then flip individual kittens public as their photos and details are ready.

Apply for this kitten

Every public kitten profile has an Apply for this kitten CTA that drops the buyer onto your /application with the kitten's name pre-filled.
