New Eye? Sea Green

[Songdog Woolley]

I look at this in a different way. The kittens didn't "pull" Ody Ribbet. They literally just get the luck of the draw. The dad of all the kittens *passed* his shown Ody Ribbet. I can't tell from the pedigree what Pepe's hidden is, but here it really doesn't matter. Since he passed Ody Ribbet 4 times and it shows on the kittens all 4 times, we look to mom for the hiddens that are possible in the kittens. Since she shows Sea Green and hides Ody Tuscan Dream, there is a 50% chance for each of these kittens to hide Sea Green - IF it is indeed recessive to Ody Ribbit. The only way to know this is to test the kittens. Statistically, half the kittens will hide Ody Tuscan Dream, because 50% of the time, Brandy passes her hidden eye. So, it makes sense that out of 4 tries, she should have/could have passed her shown Sea Green at least once, but we've all experienced the frustration of the coin flips not going our way for weeks. So the only thing to do is to test the kittens.

From my perspective, just looking at the pedigree, we could be close to placing the eye, IF indeed this kitten does hide Sea Green. I'd pull the hidden on any kitten showing Ody Ribbit from this pairing: you said you'd only gotten kittens showing Ody Ribbit and hiding Ody Tuscan Dream (?) - have you pulled all the eyes from those Ody Ribbit kittens? Did any siblings show Sea Green, and if so, were any tested? Inquiring minds want to know... ;-)

Here are her babies, all of them pulled Ody Ribbit. I don't think the sea green is back there, but I could be wrong. Out of four babies I'd think one would pull the sea green/hiding Ody Ribbit if it were possible because the other combo that's pulling seems to be Ody Ribbit hiding Ody Tuscan Dream. So I'm curious if anyone has pulled the Sea Green showing with a probably Ody Ribbit hider as well. I still have a girl and boy to possibly test if it's hiding, but afraid it may only be proof of Ody Ribbit hiding more Ody Tuscan Dream.
