I was reading Malayaa's post on Confetti Date Night when suddenly the penny dropped (as it were) and I stepped out of the forest of trees (metaphorically speaking) created by the increasing pile of (mainly Genesis) boxes from my Confetti cats and saw the wood.
I think I've just realised this is worse than I thought. I was merely seeing the pretty dismal results week after week from my cats and had failed to see one crucial thing.
One pair of my Appleberry cats are hiding a Genesis fur. (Apologies if this is old news and I'm one of the last to realise this).
I've now got two pairs of Appleberry cats - one have only had their first kitten together (a blue tabby) but the other pair have had three kittens together. All of them Genesis. This is one of the kittens.

Phil, his 5 kittens, regardless of mother, have been Domino Vs. Just checked Freya's (his usual mate) pedigree - and she has made 4 Domino Vs and 1 Diamond V
But unless I'm seeing things this just makes things even harder. I will swap the pairs around this week, and pay more attention. But I'm feeling pretty grim about the whole Confetti exercise.
Week 6 results had been (from 10 pairs) 2 Cocoberry, 1 Orangeberry, 1 'real' fur and 6 Genesis. Week 7 was 2 Cocoberry, 4 'real' furs and 5 Genesis.
