This suggests that Chateau Cat - Powder Puff No. 1 *could* be recessive to Balinese - Blue Lynx. What we don't know is what daddy Surf might hide. If he hides a more recessive fur than his shown (looking just at this pedigree, he *could* be pure - but proof of purity would be needed), and he passed the hidden recessive, then we don't know anything yet. Pulling the hidden fur from this Bali Blue kitten would be a really good way to investigate this - if she does indeed hide Powder Puff, then that chops a nice chunk off the range of this fur. Thanks for posting, Kittyclawz! Let us know if and when you find out what this baby hides.
It looks like "Ace Son of a Powder Puff," a Chimera Washed Tortie, finally passed the Powder Puff No. 1 fur from his dad Hector (who has it under his Year of the Rabbit 2023 costume) to his new daughter, which appears to show that Powder Puff No. 1 is recessive to Chimera Washed Tortie. Although grandma on the other side of the pedigree has the name Gillie Powder Puff, she's 806 days old and is a Powder Blue with a Puff tail, not a Powder Puff No. 1. (Judith the Puff also refers only to her Puff tail - as you can see, I like using Puff tails with Powder kitties.) Please correct me if I am wrong. It's 3:30 AM my time and I might have missed something important.
Meanwhile on the other side of the testing table...
Chateau Cat - Powder Puff No. 1 is dominant to Foxie - Soft Black.
And just to show how frustrating testing can be, this was the sixth kitten from the test cat. He'd passed Powder Puff No. 1 on the previous five kittens.
