Mom shows Galaxy Moon from her father, and hides Tranquility or more recessive from her mum.

Dad shows Galaxy Trip from his father, and hides his mother's recessive eye, Ody Bellini or more recessive, since Galaxy Trip is proven recessive to Strawberry Bellini.

Kitten shows Galaxy Moon from Mum, and hides either Dad's shown Galaxy Trip or his hidden eye, presumably Ody Bellini.
The kitten can very well prove that Galaxy Trip is recessive to Galaxy Moon, if he is unboxed and bred to a more recessive eye.

I don't understand what you mean by cutting the field?

The first generation doesn't narrow the testing range unless both cats are proven to be pure, or one is proven to be pure and the other traits is showing. In that case the pure trait is proven recessive.
The second generation, on the other hand is the round that either provides success or failure. The offspring from generation one must be tested against a more recessive trait to uncover the hidden trait. The hidden trait is more often than not a different trait than the one we are looking for.
The proof is what we
don't see in the offspring from generation one, and that is why it is not only important but necessary to test the generation one offspring.
This can be done from the first kitten box is dropped. Multiple kittens from the same pair with identical traits can indicate that one trait is dominant or recessive to another, but will never prove it, unless you pull a pure recessive trait.
