RE: How can you tell for sure what a kitty is hiding?
Thanks Tad! Also, I'm annoyed at you for making that build a cat website! It's like crack. CRACK.
I've now got four breeding projects going because of it. ;-P
(but really, it's awesome)

The basic rule, though, is simple: you're "looking for something different."
The parents show two furs (for instance, and which may be the same fur, it doesn't matter) and the offspring shows "something different," you know one of the parents "hides" exactly that something different, and the other hides it, or something more recessive (which can be what they show).
By repeated application of that simple rule, and knowledge of which (in this case) furs are dominant over the others, you can deduce what is hidden in the parents and/or the offspring, as well as determine the dominance relationship between furs you've never seen before.
