'Confetti - CocoBerry' as their shown, dominant Confetti fur
Unknown Confetti (not CocoBerry) as their recessive Confetti fur

Unknown Genesis as their dominant non-Confetti fur
'Pandie - Ebony & Ivory (or better)' as their recessive non-Confetti fur. One has Ebony&Ivory, specifically, and the other has that or something even more recessive.

At present, I'm estimating the odds of a Confetti offspring at 10%.

With both parents showing CocoBerry, the odds of seeing something else are 1-in-4.

So I'd estimate the odds of your seeing ANY confetti at 1-in-10 and seeing a Confetti other than CocoBerry at 1-in-40.

Note that, with the two fur values shown, you can only ever see three other furs, from this pair: The non-CocoBerry Confetti and the two Genesis furs. It is possible you'll only ever see two, if the pair have the same Genesis fur (which, while unlikely, DOES happen).

Thanks for the explanation . I hope the odds are not 10% , we only get 16 breeding chances, and probably 20 if we use vitamins all the time and I'm not doing this. If they made the odds so small, people will turn away soon from the confetti cats as no one wants to keep trying and failing for too long. And that's only to get the more dominant hidden confetti fur from the pair. There will be much frustration.
