RE: New Shade - Sparkle
This one's a really fun one.
When one first sees Pedigree #1 and looks at the box and parents, the first way to read it is that Sparkle was pulled out from under the Blush by a Radiant, and that therefore the Radiant is recessive. But things go awry with that interpretation quickly. The same starter is on both sides: Maniya can't be hiding both Sparkle AND Radiant. So which does she hide? If she's hiding Radiant, where did the Sparkle even come from?
So you KNOW something has to be up with one of the other cats. Notice the ages, Sunshine the Dusty Slate is 35 days old...showing Blush = most likely candidate to be hiding one of the new shades, and it starts getting interesting. Hobbes is also showing blush, but we can see that Hobbes' Blush shows on Morgana and Maniya Can't be hiding Blush (as well). So it's time to dive into eVe Sunshine's pedigree and we can see he's the product of a different Ghostie, eVe Rockit. The final pedigree shows what Rockit's hidden is: the Radiant. Two Rockit offspring showing Blush and hiding the hidden throw the double recessive and show us the Radiant.
So, knowing that, we go back up to pedigree #1, knowing that eVe Sunshine is hiding Radiant. Sunshine throws Radiant (not Blush or it would show) and eVe Maniya throws her hidden (obviously not her genesis). Lonnes is Radiant/hiding Maniya's hidden. On the other side of the pedigree, eVeManiya also throw her hidden which hides under Hobbes' Blush leading to offspring showing Blush/ again hiding Maniya's hidden. Finally Solveig appears, showing the Sparkle, which MUST be the result of a double recessive throw from Morgana and Lonnes, where the Sparkle... hidden on both sides of the pedigree comes out from under the Blush and Radiant cats.
Therefore: Sparkle is recessive to Radiant.
