One is "Hit Me With YOur Best Shot," clobbering the cat with a standard : Foxie Salty with Odyssey Bellini eyes, Porcelain Shade, Shorty Tail, MOF ears and preferably some pretty great whiskers. The weaker cat cannot escape . But maybe then the weaker cat shudders and backs down and gets scared and hisses, and throws all its genesis attributes. The second is ... "Just give it the minimum that it needs so that you can tell if it has thrown its hidden trait or not ...then, breed together the ones that show that it was thrown ..." (the gentle way).
Sing to the cats. That's my advice. Use a Great Mate, but make sure the cats are not scared by singing to them. I sing to stuff all the time. Then the cats can talk to each other about how odd I am, but are probably not scared of each other. It's like an ice-breaker conversation for them.
