That the outfits are placeholders doesn't make them any less useless to the game. It already takes a ridiculous amount of time to save up for even a basic basket, and you already have a low chance of finding a new cat without the inclusion of outfits.
My apologies, I shouldn't have used the word placeholder. The outfits are not implemented yet. They have been written into the system, because we are working on their implementation right now, and need to make sure they enter the game at the intended time. Once they are implemented, they will be a lot less useless. Until that time, we appreciate you beta testing our game with us.
As far as receiving new cats, you will always receive either a new cat or an outfit. You will never receive a cat that you already have - so without the inclusion of outfits, the chance of finding a new cat is 100%, can't get much higher than that.
As the game progresses, it definitely becomes a clicker game, not an idle. Also the outfits for the cats are annoying and unnecessary (and lazy - just a basic recolour?).
Please keep in mind that this is the beta version of the game. The current outfits don't reflect the actual game outfits, they are more of a place-holder for testing purposes. The final release will have a lot more going on with outfits (I promise ;) ~Sad Panda QA

Do you mean there are 2 separate Pablo cats? Or you just got a dupli-cat in one of the baskets?
