Sorry I'm late. I had to kick a pair of cats out of my cattery first. Good job, Peaches!

Ok so while Peaches figures out the order among the new eyes I'm going to Pop a divine and a Fancie Blue Diamond and test Divine against the most dominant Nebula and FBD against the most recessive Orbit hopefully the Odyssey Galactic will slot in somewhere in between and we can solve these in one go.
Of course they may confound all out current thinking and not fall between the FRuits and Diamonds at all but we will still get useful info from the tests. Unless of course they end up above the fruits. have tests going on with Tap Reef and Ody F&R plus Mint Julep and BlueBerry so hopefully we will have results from thse before the cats I'm going to pop are ready to breed

Great job Peaches! Knocks off 3 more eyes

So in another unexpected twist today I had this box drop.
Now I don't know if Mums BlueBerry is pure but I have never pulled anything more recessive from her despite trying. Baby is of course unpacking to test as I post this but coupled with My Ody Galactic potentially hiding Sparkle Dream we may seriously need to reassess our between the Fruit and Diamond thinking to above the Fruits.
I have a Nebula Starter breeding to a Mint Julep starter on Friday fingers crossed for that.

Yes Peaches! Nebula appears to be dominant to both Blueberry & Apple. My Silver Pewter hides Apple:

It is good to see that you have birthed Argos, Evolving!
I'm looking forward to seeing if he hides Galaxy Nebula or grandpa's Ody Bellini.

Yes Reven. Fortunately, I got a 9T so I can breed him back to his momma. However, for Nebula proofs I am not sure if that is going to be helpful. Since I can pull the Nebula if it is dominant to Apple, or the Bellini could pull it if Apple is dominant. Still trying to get my head around the possible scenarios.

The only proof you will get by backbreeding to Mom is Apple dominant to Ody Bellini if their kitten shows Ody Bellini eyes. Mom is hiding Ody Bellini or more recessive from grandma, but I say Ody Bel for simplicity's sake here)

Nebula shown will either be Pure Nebula (if it is recessive to Apple), Nebula with Apple hidden (If it is dominant to Apple and both pass their shown eye, or Nebula with Ody Bellini hidden if Mom passes Nebula and the kitten hides Ody Bel and passes them.

Apple shown can mean Apple with Nebula or Ody Bel hidden, and the hidden eye must be pulled to give a clear proof in all other cases than Ody bel shown.

Breeding the kitten to an eye that is known to be recessive to Nebula will reveal the hidden eye. Apple will mean that he passed his shown eye, Nebula means he hides Nebula which is then proven recessive to Apple, and anything else means that mum passed her hidden eye and Ody Bel is hidden in the kitten.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your breeding project!

Oh that is very helpful! I will look for a recessive eye to Nebula to try and provide the proof. Then I can breed son to mom next round.

am getting impatient for my tests that are due tomorrow now, woith any luck they will zero right in on the range we need to look at. This may be the fastest a set of Ltd Ed eyes has been placed.
If the kitties don't hurry up with the OCW tests we may even place this set before the last of the 2014 Halloween Ltd Eyes is placed
Almost as excited for as to see what my snowbabies give me today
