So a child of Ruby and Sun will look like a human and a child of Blake and Jaune will have catears. But both children might have nightvision.

Technically, night vision is still a phenotype. Any effect on the individual is a phenotype, the genotype includes all versions of the gene, both shown and hidden. From a genetics standpoint, night vision is a trait no different than cat ears.
