So cute! Congratulations!

I also drew Chai Tipped Black! with back breeding, so I know it's recessive to Chocolate! And if I'm reading Junie's pedigree correctly, Chai Tipped Black is (not)dominant(not) to Black Tipped White? (edited to correct - I was not reading correctly. Mozart and Hani made Danno. Danno shows Black Tipped White and hides Chai Tipped Black. Therefore Chai Tipped Black is RECESSIVE to Black Tipped White. )

Mea Culpa: Junie passed me this pedigree some time ago. I DO try to keep track when this happens, but this time the notecard wasn't checked by me until I remembered after seeing these posts:
Chai Tipped Black are recessive to Black Tipped White:

Thank you so much for the placement proof, Junie, and to Junie and Fox for giving my brain a thwap!

We have to back off from naming this as most recessive - as we still will need to test against the two Tuscan Terra Tipped whiskers. Stay tuned!

Chai Tipped Black recessive to Tuscan Terra Tipped Black Whiskers

Chai Tipped Black is recessive to Tuscan Terra Tipped White. This proves Chai Tipped Black as the most recessive whisker color!
So we have Nicky, who is pure Chai Tipped Black:


Nicky's daughter, Velma, hides Chai Tipped Black under Black Tipped White.
Bred to a pure Tuscan Terra Tipped White mate, a Tuscan Terra Tipped White kitten is the result - Velma had to have passed her hidden Chai Tipped Black, so it has to be hiding under Tuscan Terra Tipped White.
