I hate displaying my blondness but i'm really having a hard time seeing how the term "pulling" traits can be confusing to people, and am getting rather annoyed at myself.

Believe me, however tempting it can be to believe in - the cats do NOT plan their breedings... The scripts do, and they do it randomly 
Well of course a cat does'nt know eff all but WE can and therefore use a more recessive trait in one cat to try "pull" out the more dominant we know (or guess) is hiding in another, as explained above by Dev and Vila, and as Zann understood herself.
Don't get me wrong here, i'm really not nit-picking, just i'd like to understand what else people are understanding by this term which seems to me to be the best representative word we have to describe a certain process, and i just do not at all get what the problem is with it. Only when i do can i try to find a different way to explain to peeps.
Yrs truly,
