I know when I want to pull my Balinese Seal Lynx fur, I pair it up with my Burmese Champagne.

(btw if you pair champagne and get champagne back, all you know is that the other cat either has champagne or better, so you've basically learned nothing)

Pulling traits yes, but breeding out traits no. For example. If you know a cat has twinkle shade hidden...and you have no showing twinkle shade cat, the worse thing you can do is breed it to a porcelain shade. Basically you make it (almost) impossible to breed out because you have nothing more recessive to breed it with to see if it passes to the kittens, because once you breed 2 porcelains you have the chance to make it pure. Therefore unpacking that cat becomes useless...or a dud, because you cant be sure twinkle even exists there anymore.

But if you breed it to flair, and you get flair, you know you have it hiding. You then breed the cat again with an illume, and you get illume, you know you have it hiding. Breed those two and you have the chance to get illume, flair or twinkle. and so on.
