If you have a horse that goes grey (white) that had white markings (like white socks on the legs or a white stripe on the face) before going grey, if you look at the skin under the hair you can still see where the markings were.

Love the pale tips on the long hair, and also nice to see a non-dapple grey. It's on my shopping list when it's ready!

Ah, yes that's worth asking about. But yeah, it is in the description if one looks.

I can't blame Miss B for not reading the description. I looked at the images and then added it to my cart. Not that I needed to see the images to make a decision—I'd buy any cat textures from CWRW, sight unseen. I was just so excited to see the new textures!

I understand the cat and the kitten share the same UVs, so that automatically means the textures can be shared between them, no matter what is said at the product page.

I guess I'm just a stickler for all the facts, so I ask to make sure. ;)

Thanks all! Yep these textures will work on the House Cat, Kitten (ran out of time to get a kitten render done...); the Big Cat and Cub and if you are feeling adventuresome they even work on the HW Big Dog and Puppy as those also share the same UVs as Kitty. (I haven't tried them on the dogs yet myself -could be interesting! :)

For now yes one need to dial spin to make some of the shapes I used in the product imagery. A good start is reducing body bulk to get a leaner kitty and playing with the Face Smoosh morphs in reverse (negative values) to get a longer face, as well as playing with the ear morphs to make the ears longer and pointier. (Kitty has so many cool morphs one can use!!:) We're not sure when Paul can get to rigging the wonderful FBM Siamese morphs Chris has made. If there is enough demand, I could make a scene with the cat in default/zero pose using my dial spins and upload that to our free resources here. I didn't want to tie Paul up with making a character preset for it, also as especially it likely would not have worked with existing poses as I made the legs and torso longer by scaling etc/wouldn't get it through QA.

Looking forward to seeing your renders!

The kitten is a morph of the cat - same mesh so yes same UV's - at least thats how it works in DS.

DS has the added advantage that a figure can have more than just one single UV map, but HW figures all use the same mesh (except for Dawn 2.0), so the UVs should work fairly well between them all.
