RE: Question about Pure
The thing that makes it especially tricky is that you have to control for 2 lurking hiddens, not just one. Speaking personally, I don't find that it is worth the effort to make a line pure - I just go for knowing what I have and breeding to find out what is there but not trying to eliminate the lurking traits. The cats that are most likely to be pure are the ones that are absolutely most recessive, because there can be no traits hiding underneath - until the next release of new traits. This is also where knowing When traits were released and the dates of your boxes comes into play.
There are reasons other than chasing lindens why people want Most Recessive cats. They are very useful.
