I have never had this happen before since I started breeding when the bday cats came out. But this has me baffled how I can get the exact same cat two times in a row. I understand the fur can be the same, but everything is identical. Any input would be great. heres the cats and who mated. thanks in advance.

How rare is this? lol.. seems to be my luck or stats are broken

Star (*) means worst-case (lowest) odds, best case (highest) in this case is 1-in-1

Diamond III x Cream Lynx -> Diamond III (1-in-2 odds *)
Crystal Sun x HuckleBerry -> Double Dip Flora (1-in-2 odds)
Curious x Curious -> Curious (3-in-4 odds *)
Big x Big -> Big (3-in-4 odds *)
Natural x Natural -> Natural (3-in-4 odds *)
Plush x Plush -> Stubby (1-in-4 odds)
Mysterious x Genesis -> Genesis (1-in-2 odds *)
White x White -> White (3-in-4 odds *)
Guitar x Guitar -> Guitar (3-in-4 odds *)

Both male.

First, an observation: the parent with Crystal Sun eyes hides Double Dip Flora, exactly.

Now, to the odds. There are seven (of the nine) where it's possible that the odds are 1-in-1 (meaning one of the parents is 'pure' on the shown trait).

The worst-case odds are 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 3/4 x 3/4 (243 in 32768)

The best-case odds are 1 x 1/2 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1/4 x 1 x 1 x 1 (1 in 8)

It's likely that some of those possible are 'pure' so the odds are more likely to be closer to 1-in-8, but they can be no worse than 243-in-32768.

Halve those odds if you want the same gender (1-in-16 to 243-in-65536).
