You do not want her to make with Silver or White color, or Guitar, Mysterious, Plush or Curious. The next step down is 2 Tone Black and White and Stubby, but I'd go a step or two lower if you have it available (or can find and afford it). Something like Black/Frazzled, Black/Boo Boo, or Blonde Streaked/Boo Boo would do for a next test if you don't want to go straight to Latte/Fussy. These could be put against the boxes if Poppy is not available.

Thanks for clarifying what we explained earlier: we will likely try her with one of my Latte/Frazzled or Blonde/Wavy kitties, depending on what else is a "mystery" (e.g. if she didn't give up the eye, I might have used a Prismatic/Latte/Frazzled; if she doesn't give up a fur I would try one of my Seal Lynx/Blonde/Wavy kitties, etc.)

Also, Liriel's technique is a good one we might end up using for the whisker shape alone: offspring would easily show the dominant whisker and hide the recessive, and when you breed them together you'd know *exactly* what came from where with no mystery.
