Pure just means the cat cannot breed out anything more than what it is showing in relation to what is being called "Pure". However keep in mind it is VERY often that a cat is not pure because recessive traits can hide for many generations. Generally the only truly pure traits are the most recessive traits because they can go no further. Many ppl label their cats "pure" because they think breeding two of the same together will make it so. This is not the case. There is no such thing as a "strong line of traits" or "pure line" unless you know for a fact the cat does not hide anything more, or if it is showing the most recessive of all traits.

For me, the following doc confirms my belief :

Quote:Confirmed Facts About KittyCats Traits:
---------------------------------------------------

-A KittyCat has TWO "genes" per trait you see - a visible trait and a hidden trait. Traits in this context can of course also be genesis traits.

-BOTH a KittyCat's traits, hidden & visible, will be from the parents - one from mom, one from dad.

-Hidden traits can become visible and vice versa, and hidden traits can be inherited and remain hidden through generations.

-If a kitten has mom's VISIBLE fur, it cannot also have a HIDDEN fur trait from her - the hidden fur trait will then be from dad.

-The visible trait is ALWAYS more dominant than the hidden trait.
-So when two cats breed, they both pass either their hidden or visible trait, and the kitten will have the more dominant of those two traits as the shown trait, and the less dominant as the hidden trait.

-There are NO random traits in KittyCats, except in newborn starter cats (Including Special Edition cats - all cats that says "Starter" under parent info)

-Two traits cannot "morph" into a third trait. If a trait appears "out of nowhere", it is because it has been passed as a hidden trait through generations.

The above facts are confirmed by Equinox Pinion, one of the creators of KittyCats in the “KittyCats Addicts” group chat in the afternoon of 28. May 2011.
I added the two last facts that were both confirmed later, one in a private conversation, the other also in KittyCats Addicts Group Chat, 12/7 2011.
