What is "perfect"? I see this sometimes in ads too, as an example... perfect eyes. I *think* this means that both parents had the same recessive eye hidden that was then the shown eye on their new kitten?

Oh, I was just using that as a term to describe a cat where you know
exactly what it's hiding.. I'm not sure that term is used by others, it was just the only word I could come up with at that time
"Perfect Eyes" is a term most people use to describe a cat that has Mysterious eye shape and Small pupil (the only known breedable traits for eye shape and pupil size at this time
)
If both parents hide the same eye and passed that eye to a kitten as the kitten's shown and hidden eye trait, that's often called a "pure" eye. "Pure" applies to all the breedable traits. There are a few slides about the meaning of "Pure traits" in the tutorial in-world, if you want to check it out - it has a demo with a real pedigree and might be easier than if I gave the full explanation here
