I wanted fussy tails, jade, blush quarts, flash or twinkle in the soft blacks. Maybe soft folds or myst ody folds. Black fussy whiskers. I think the ody would have been better since soft folds and rounded folds don't show up well with all dark ears.
And everything in my bali flames. I know I'm behind but was working on moving blonde streaked in them too. I had the rounded soft folds I wanted to move to them too. And fussy whiskers.
Most of all my goals were to get all these traits into those furs, but keep the furs pure. I had some bali flames that I named NP on the ends so I knew they weren't pure and could use them on the soft blacks. I also thought the saphire eyes would be lovely in the bali flames.
Since I was trying to keep my cattery small it was a matter of mixing the traits into siblings then try to get them to pull the traits I wanted out of each other and back breed to the parents. The problem I had with back breeding was I never got the sex I needed to back breed for months. I would have gotten farther faster if I had.
I did buy a kitty hiding light wave to see if I could get them to move around too.
It's easier to understand what I was doing by looking at the pedigrees. lol I had a number of projects going at once to achieve my final goals which were lovely soft blacks and bali flames.
