When that doesn't work I say "hides bali cream" because I assume my kitties that I got slightly used are not hiding that salt and pepper fur or some kind of magical undiscovered fur. So, in that one case can I reasonably say "hides bali cream"? I include an example:

I suppose theoretically I should include "or better" but I assume it's not better. Any advice would be great, thanks

Your baby in your example hides Bali Cream and cannot hide another fur from your starter. It got Smokey III from mom. Unless dad has some better fur hiding in his background, which isn't likely from what is shown, Cream is the hidden fur.

Now on the tail and ears, it's impossible to tell what is going on. Your baby got genesis, but from whom? The possibilities are:

1. Got genesis from both parents, so both showing and hiding tail and ear (so to speak) are genesis.
2. Got genesis from dad and a hidden trait from mom, yet undiscovered.
3. Got genesis from mom and might hide something from dad, though from the pedigree you give, there's no way to tell what that might be. It is just as likely that dad's shown and hidden are also both genesis and he hides nothing else.

If I were labeling this box, I'd say it hides Cream, small eye, Glitter, and white mysterious whiskers. Anything else would be pure serendipity.
