if a kitten has the shown trait of parent (in this case, the fur), that the hidden trait is the other parent's hidden. if the shown fur is a genesis fur, the hidden can't also be a genesis fur. please correct me if I'm wrong, which I seem to be.
I think this is where your assumption went wrong, just FYI. The kitten's traits can come from either of the parents shown or hidden furs. It will get exactly one from mom and one from dad. Both can toss shown, both can toss hidden, or one can toss shown and the other hidden.
If the kitten has the shown trait from one parent, then the hidden trait will be from the other parent, but it can be either the shown or hidden of the second parent.
If you mate two starters together, you have a 1/4 chance of both tossing shown (in which case you'll have genesis hiding genesis), a 1/4 chance of both tossing hidden, and a 2/4 (or 1/2) chance of one parent tossing shown, the other hidden. So two starter's will produce double genesis in a particular slot on 25% of their boxes, on average.
