It feels bad when you hint it migth not be and that confuses people. If you would have seen the whole pedigree back to the starter you would know this is 100% Balinese Seal Lynx hiding. Im not wrong. Im sure you said this after what you saw in the pedigree. But people trust you so now you decived people into thinking its some other crazy fur hiding... wich is not true. You know i know how the hidden vs shown works. And also becuse others said it was hidden when it was not 100% sure i should not be the blame of other post about Balinese Seal lynx when it was not me who wrote it wrongly.
People trust her because she knows what she's doing, and in this case she's right. One time out of four, on average, both parents will pass their shown fur, and in that case both the shown and hidden are the black/silver and it is *not* hiding the lynx.
here are your possibilities for mating two cats showing black/silver and hiding lynx:
Lynx(Lynx) = pure lynx, lynx will show
Black/Silver (Lynx) = hiding lynx, black/silver showing (2 chances of this, since it assumes one parent threw shown, one hidden)
Black/Silver (Black/Silver) = pure black/silver, lynx is *not* hiding
It is that fourth possibility that we are saying is why you cannot guarantee that an offspring of two Black/Silvers both hiding Lynx will absolutely carry the Lynx behind the black/silver UNLESS you've bred it and pulled a lynx box from it. Period.
A + A = YAY? -When is a cat hiding that special fur...
