RE: Starters Gen. kittens useless?
If you bred a genesis cat to a non genesis cat and got the genesis traits, then they are hiding the other parent's traits. The kittens aren't useless--they have the other parent's non-gen traits, but you won't get the starter cat's hiddens out of them.
If they have the other parent's trait showing then yes, they are hiding the starter's hidden trait--and you also know that trait is recessive to the other parent's--fur, in the case you asked about. This is where sib breeding or back breeding can be useful.
As someone who has a bunch of kitties about to turn 121, I also want to mention not to neglect the whiskers and minor traits...breed to find those hiddens too, not just furs.
