Hi everyone, I’m working on a ‘pedigree’ for an animal breeding simulator I’m playing. I’m running into an issue with adding cats that aren’t related to the main family tree. These unrelated cats will eventually be bred into the main lineage, but in the meantime, I just need a way to include them as placeholders, as their connection isn't that obvious yet.

Definitely support adding this as a feature!

I have trees that I use for a similar purpose and, at the moment, the best compromise I've found (aside from leaving the individuals off of the tree until they're bred in) is to add an ancestor above the Foundation generation, call it something like "Various Parents," and set all the unrelated individuals as children of "Various Parents"
