So onward goes the story
So to recap:
1. I have OFW (have as Odyssey FrazzyWave) on two siblings
2. I could have double genesis on a number of traits including the fur
I needed a way to keep the OFW and lose the genesis traits.
Normally most people boink the siblings
In this case, I thought it was better to boink the siblings with other cats so I would be sure to get non-genesis hiddens. (although I did try a couple matings sibling to sibling but they didn't work out so well. This hooking up with nonfamilial cats worked much better for me)
Talia's line didn't work out well so I closed it pretty quickly. Lionel did better for me so we will follow 2 of his children.
I mated Lionel with Caralynne. My reason was because her shown was Light Wave, I wanted to see if her hid was Swanky or more recessive. Lionel and Talia with OFW were the go-to people to check if anything was behind my most recessive whiskers while I tried to get the OFW better traited.
What I liked about Toy Theresa, born 9/19/14, was that I got non-genesis tail, ears, and whiskers
The breakdown on Toy Theresa went
Fur: Genesis Smokey IV
Damn! this is where I learned Lionel had a double Genesis fur. His shown was Genesis Domino III and his hid was Genesis Smokey IV. I knew that because Mom had Abby Ruddy so no way could she give a genesis fur. Crap on beans.
Eyes: Strawberry Bellini
Well that was better than expected but who gave it? Mom or Dad? don't know. That eye was recessive to anything either was showing so could be either one. But, hey, at this point, I'll take what i can get.
Tail: Shorty
Lionel shows Chop Chop while Caralynne showed Plush. Shorty is Dominant to Chop Chop so can't come from Lionel. He can only throw Chop Chop or more recessive. Shorty has to be Mom's hidden as can be seen with Maternal Grandfather Sharpie.
Ears: Mysterious
Caralyne shows Mysterious so probably came from her. There is, of course, the possiblity that Lionel has mysterious too. We'll have to find out for sure later.
Whiskers: Black
Caralyne shows Black so probably came from her. Again, it's possible that Lionel has black too.
Whisker shape: Light Wave
That came from Caralynne. We know Theresa has OFW hiding from Lionel because he is double OFW and that is all that he can pass.
This baby is a marked improvement over Lionel. Almost all the genesis traits are gone and we know for sure that the fur has a non-genesis fur hid.
I said we would follow two of Lionel's babies. Since he was good about throwing the other traits, i birthed the babies that had non-genesis eyes, tail, ears and whiskers. He was pretty good about that. His sister Talia not so much which is her line got shut down.
Lionel also gave me Bridgetta on 12/12/14.
I know its a girl. They had a brother, Noregard, that I also birthed with the intent to pair him with Theresa too but since one of his kids got Dreamy whiskers found unexpectedly on a mom I was checking her hidden on, his line went on a Dreamy tangent. So Noregard and his children do not figure in this tale. Sometimes that happens. You have a plan but you find something cool and you create a new plan.
So Bridgetta's mom, Machayla, I bought because she had Tapestry Reef eyes. And as you know I used Lionel to check hidden whisker shape on my girls. Had to, you never know what you might find. With Machayla, I found she had Light Wave hid which was better than I expected.
Like Theresa and Noreiga, I birthed Bridgetta because she showed Most traits.
Fur: Said it all before. Came from Lionel. Hid from Machayla.
Eyes: Tapestry Reef has to come from Mom
. . . . . by now, I have found that Lionel had Strawberry Bellini hid which was the shown eye for Theresa.
Tail: Chop Chop came from Lionel. Machayla gives us her hid.
Ears: Mysterious. Obviously this is Lionel's hid as Machayla had Pointed Soft Fold as her most dominant ear. Machayla passes PSF or her hid.
Whiskers: White. This is Machayla's shown and comes from her.
. . . . . to be fair, by this time I have found out that Lionel's hid is blonde-streaked
Whisker shape: Light Wave. the hid is going to be Lionel's OFW
So I have gotten rid of the genesis on the traits for Theresa and Bridgetta. And I only had one problem remaining: the fur. And both of them hid a nongenesis fur. So things are looking up. (Where's the boy?, you say. He is coming)
