RE: Easter Cats
Let's do some combinations using letters.

If you have a trait you know is more recessive than the hidden you want to expose, good.
That is, you want to expose 'b' from ..
Ab x Cd -> Ac (failure) Ad (failure) Bc (success) Bd (success)
.. 50% odds of success

But if you don't have it or don't know it, use a more dominant from the middle.
That is, if you want to expose 'c' from ..
Ac x Bd -> Ab (failure) Ad(failure) Bc(continue) Cd(success)
.. 25% odds of success, 25% odds to continue

Or you want to expose 'c' from ..
Ac x Bb -> Ab(failure) Ad(failure) Bc(continue) Bc(continue)
.. 50% odds to continue

Or you get lucky exposing 'c' from ..
Ac x Bc -> Ab(failure) Ac(failure) Bc(continue) Cc(success)
.. 25% success, 25% continue
Yes, 25% looks like failure because you don't KNOW B hides c. So you call Ac a failure instead of a continue. Ce la guerre

You'll want two, or more, Bc(continue) boxes to cross. 50/50 odds the second will mate with the first, generally you should expect a mating pair in three boxes.

My rule of thumb is to use the MOST dominant trait JUST BELOW the visible trait hiding the trait you want to expose. Why? Because if you fail in the first set of crosses, if there is another trait between, you can repeat the process. If you use the most RECESSIVE, just above the trait you want to expose, if you fail in all attempts to cross the offspring, you're done. (ie, cross Am with B?, if that fails you'll have some Bm to cross with C?, if THAT fails you'll have Cm to cross with D? .. etc)

For example, in another thread we see Black Silver hiding Lynx. That's well and good, but if you can only afford that one 'hiding Lynx' example, you'll have a VERY HARD time getting it out of the Black Silver. On the other hand, a Bengal Silver hiding Lynx means you have several choices, and a Siamese Seal hiding Lynx means just about every fur can be used to pull out that Lynx gene. So .. THINK about things before you purchase a 'hides' offspring. Not only may the 'hides' be wrong but, even if it's there, the dominant hiding it can make things easier or harder .. especially if you have a run of bad luck.
