Now that Skippy and I have a pair of Foxie-Auburn kittens with foxie-shaped ears, the next target is to get a subsequent box to nine traits. Preferably, we would love to keep the rainbow-themed eyes too.
When Skippy and I walk around the cat markets, we can never understand why the Foxie Fur and Foxie Ear combination is so rare. It seems such an obvious combination and such natural and attractive pairing too.
Current, we have a nine-traited kitten (with a recessive foxie-eared gene) that is breeding with with our current six-traited Foxie-Auburn offspring (that has a foxie-shaped ear) and so we hope that this target can be achieved in a couple of months. However, past experience has taught us that we should never become too complacent as all sorts of spanners are often thrown into the works.
