A possible reason why the babies are looking like clones of mommy might be because Dad's traits are Recessive to Mom's shown and possibly Hiddens. If mom's traits are Dominate then they will always show up on her kittens. It is hard to give you advice for your situation with out seeing exactly what each parent has showing or possibly hiding.
The mom's traits are probably dominant, but I was hoping for at least a little variation among the kittens instead of a clone army. xP
Here are the pedigrees:
Mom's pedigree
Dad's pedigree
Do you know about the SAGA Dominance Charts? SAGA FElIX was one of the first breeders of KittyCatS 6 yrs ago. She and a bunch of other breeders figured out how the breeding system worked.
Here is a link to
SAGA. The list shows all the traits for each catagory. The ones on the top of the list are Dominate, and the ones below are Recessive. For example if you look at any eye color, the ones listed above it are Dominate to it and the ones below are Recessive to it. Not sure how much you understand about breeding and don't want to talk down to you. But just in case anyone else is reading this post- Both cats will toss either their shown eye or hidden eye. There is 4 possible outcomes for eye color each time. (For each of the traits for that matter). An with each toss the more Dominate of the two will always show.
Just looking at the shown eyes of both your kitties the male has the Fancie Dusky Diamond and the female has the Platiumn. The Platiumn is more dominate and if both cats toss their showns then that is what will show up. If the female has a more recessive eye hiding than the Fancie Dusky Diamond eye and she tosses that eye you might see the Fancie Dusky Diamond eye show.
Now looking at the fur situation
Bali Lilac is more Dominate to the Occicat Ebony Silver. So could be why you are seeing the Bali Lilac fur showing up a lot on the kittens. Just a heads up mommy might be hiding Foxie Salt and Pepper. If that is the case and mommy tosses her hidden (Possibly Foxie Salt and Pepper or something even more recessive on the list) and Daddy tosses his shown Ocicat Ebony Silver then you might see a few of the kittens with the Ocicat EbySilver fur showing.
With out actually seeing each of the kittens that they have produced it is hard to really tell you if these two cats will produce what you are looking to get. I think the fur should work for you..but I am pretty sure that the eye will never show and the Fancie Dusky Diamond will always be hiding. You might consider breeding a daughter of your pair back to the father as long as she is showing the Bali Lilac fur. But know you might get OciEbSilver kittens because she will be hiding that fur or something more recessive from Daddy.
I am not sure if I helped...or confused you more. If you want you can try and IM me in world and we can meet up to discuss your project further.
