Gold Tipped Black is dominant to Butterscotch Tipped Black

My baby popped the new one. No real info yet because while mom Samantha shows Blue Tipped White, she hides Smoke. I'm popping the baby to see what it hides. Since the whisker is already shown dominant to ButterScotch Tipped Black, smoke won't matter if it's the hid.

Turns out my baby had smoke hid so no new info on this one

I believe this constitutes proof that GTB is recessive to Flame? I know that's still a pretty wide range (14 whiskers), but it at least knocks off the top 13.

This cat is also PURE Gold Tipped Black, because we know that the Gold Tipped Black came from Lilibet on both sides via Marek's hidden whisker color, and as such, is pure. It's relatively uncommon to see an unequivocally pure trait that isn't also a most recessive trait, because it gets too darn complicated to prove.

Explanation why pure: I was discussing it with Ivy but phil beat her to it LOLOL
Reasoning behind proof:
Lilibet is the source of gold tipped black
She contributed it to the kitten from moms side.
As she hides gold tip, she can not also hide flame. The dad Marek got flame from CUddles
So Marek hides from lillibet as well.
he can;'t hide her shown silver so hides her gold tipped black.
This makes gold tipped black recessive to flame and the kitten pure
Cuddles gransparents are 165 days old at least and can not have the gold tipped black
