The basic principle at work here is that the Shown Fur on a Cat is Always Equal to or More Dominant than the hidden fur.
Or put the other way, the Hidden Fur on a Cat is Always Equal to or More Recessive than the shown fur.

Evidence 1 is not necessary but introduces us to the main character.

The Monster Mash is hiding a fur. All the LE starters hide a fur.
Fabio mated the Monster with a recessive fur (but not Most-Recessive fur) a foxie salt and pepper. It could be pure foxie s&p or it could hide something More Recessive.
The baby is Peaches, who is the heroine of our story.
Peaches is foxie salt and pepper and can hide foxie salt and pepper or something More Recessive. We do not know at this point in the pedigrees where her foxie s&p came from - it could be the dad (obvious choice) or it could be the Monster.

Evidence 2 shows the same thing as Evidence 1 plus adds another side to the family and carries the story onwards.

An Aby Dark Chocolate named Poison's mates with a Foxie S&P and produces an Aby Dark Chocolate, named 9T... .
This cat is, because of timing, almost certainly Aby Dark Chocolate pure (because before the Halloween scarecrows there was nothing known to be More Recessive than Aby DarkChoc) but for the sake of purity let us simply say that 9T AbDrk,Beli is showing Aby Dark Chocolate fur and hiding Aby DarkC or More Recessive.
This cat mates with our heroine Peaches and produces Mead who is Not a Foxie S&P which is the more dominant of the 2 furs, but another Aby Dark Chocolate child. With this information we can be more specific about Peaches' information: she is hiding Aby Dark Chocolate or More Recessive. At this point, we can figure that Mead is possibly Aby Dark Chocolate pure, having gotten that fur from both his mom or his dad, OR is showing Aby Dark Chocolate from the dad, and is hiding something EVEN MORE RECESSIVE from Peaches his mom. The most likely outcome that people would expect would be Aby Dark Chocolate pure.

Evidence 3 shows the backbreed between Mead and his mother Peaches, to try to get both to throw their hidden fur together (if Mead isn't all aby dkchoc pure).

And voila, we do Not get an Aby Dark Chocolate. We get an entirely new fur, the Australian Mist - Blue Marble, which MUST be More Recessive than the Aby Dark Chocolate, because it hid underneath it on Mead.

such a sweet explanation, and smooth. I was impressed.

thank Ivy. I could not write something so sweet, as you did.

I have great difficulties with my translator.

lots of thanks.
