RE: New Fur - Chimera - Black Grey
Wow!
I think you've done it. I think this Really Does prove that Chimera Black Grey is the new most recessive fur.
One thing that really helps when looking at the pedigree is noticing that the male "Chim givin stud" appears on both the mother's and father's side of the pedigree and you're looking at the same pedigree twice that takes us all the way back to "First Chimera" and the starters that produced him. This lets us review the fact that "First Chimera" has to be pure Chimera and can ONLY throw the Chimera fur.
"First Chimera" appears multiple times in the pedigree and it matters that he ONLY can ever throw Chimera fur in all the instances. For detailed pics of these cats you can check further up the thread for Apricot and Sakespeare and the fur's discovery.
The essence of the proof occurs in the very top lines of the pedigree looking at "Two Faced SheDevil"'s lineage. Look at the very right hand side top of the pedigree. "First Chimera" mates with "Mercy" who is an Aby Dark Chocolate. The baby is Aussie Blue Marble showing. "First Chimera" is Chimera pure: he had to throw it. Chim Lady, the blue marble MUST hide the Chimera fur. (That's a proof in itself.)
But what happens next gets really interesting: "Chim Lady" mates with an OciCat Platinum born from two OciCat Platinums. (Why oh why would anybody name this cat "chim chim charoo" - we believe it to be Ocicat Platinum pure... unless Coverboy has reason to think it also hides Chimera fur.) No matter - It throws the OciCat platinum fur. "Chim Lady" has Nothing to throw except Aussie Blue Marble and the Chimera fur. We know that Ocicat Platinum does not hide the Aussie Blue Marble. It MUST hide the Chimera.
That's really all you need for the proof. Although the copious pedigree that Coverboy gives us does show us the whole family tree. To take it further down, "Chim given stud" is a burmese blue hiding the Chimera fur from "First Chimera". These two Chimera hiders both throw their hiddens to produce "Two Faced SheDevil" who is Chimera - Black Grey pure.
The next generation is "Two Faced SheDevil" (chimera fur pure) doing a backbreed with dad, and they produce the cat "Pure Chimera".
I'm not going to change the charts yet. I'd like some of our experienced pedigree proofers to double-check my reasoning here.
But wow, CONGRATS Coverboy.
