Also trying to figure out what my easter buncat is really hiding behind those sunshine eyes -really elusive. I got Oceania the other day, which was the other kitty's hidden eyes, so now I have two ways t ofind out....And I still need t ofinish figuring out his other traits.
But mainly trying to give most of my kitties the chance to show non-genesis traits, little by little, so that my 3rd or 4th generations will be able to be paired more easily. And trying to find out what's behind one of my oci tawnies, who's hiding a better fur.
Also studying and scrutinising my babies' pedigrees to learn more about hidden traits and how they can be pulled or kept.
I got this smokey, doubly gen furred kitty with Big booboo tail and boo boo ears that I love. She has midnight sky eyes too which I really like and don't care what she's hiding. I want to have all those on a traited fur. So I went out (she was at 100% love when I bought her) and looked for a suitable partner. Just one step above in tail and ears, so that my kitty's would be dominant and no hidden traits would feel like coming out, but with a rather recessive fur. Finally I found him; he even has a shade and is young! They had their baby "Interrobang" (because of the big boo boo shape) with mum's tail and eyes, and fur, but now hiding dad's white Russian, and showing lovely soft folds.I wasn't going for the soft folds, but I'm not complaining 
It will take a few more breedings I'm sure, but it feels nice and she's one of the sweetest pets!
How cool you found the perfect partner for your project, congrats!
Yesterday I went wild on an auction and I can't wait what this new trait collection will bring me in my current cat projects.
First I found auction often times boring but the quality of the cats brought to an auction is so amazing lately I love it
