Have you unboxed the offspring and paired them to one of the parents? Sometimes it does not appear until the next generation.
You might want to try Balinese - Seal Lynx. I know that might seem a bit not with convention, but I have had moderate success getting the hidden fur and a few other traits. You will want a pure 9T though...meaning it's been a 9T for several generations (not just what is shown on the Pedigree).
That won't work in Ding's case. If Ding paired his starter with a kitty with a fur, any fur, and the baby got a genesis fur, that means the starter passed genesis, not its hidden fur. The baby won't hide anything from the starter. So opening the baby and breeding back to the starter will never produce the starter's hidden fur. Never, ever.
Also, breeding kitties is all about probability. No particular fur has any advantage over any others. If someone had good luck with Foxie S&P or Seal Lynx or something else, that's all it is is luck. It's just a coin toss, period. A breeder can learn to play those odds better through sibling breeding and back breeding, but it's still just heads or tails.
