What is a Good Cat?

[Songdog Woolley]

That's so cool, Shannon! Both of your unintentional results are fantastically pretty cats! It's great to see not one, but two old retired Balinese furs with those Huckleberry eyes on father and son. As new traits come out over time, the old ones get less and less common - it's a little glimpse of Kitty History to see them.

For educational purposes, I'd like to post two results where you can see what I was going for, and that I didn't get it, but that the result was gorgeous in a different way:

Here, I was trying to shuffle some traits around on a line of solid white cats (Russian white, white whiskers, crystal clear eyes) and these guys both happened to throw their hidden fur, but keep the white eyes and whiskers, and I love it:



Here, I was trying to get huckleberry eyes on a Tiger! Huckleberry (you will note that most of my contributions to this thread will be of the matchy-matchy variety). It didn't work, but throwing the hidden flame fur AND flame whiskers, and getting the huck eyes, plus an ear that shows off the flame fur, was a really striking combination that I like but wouldn't have thought to try for on purpose.
