Your scenario would work if race counts as a genes(which it shouldn't be possible by our standards), Faunus can overcome the hybrid barriers(can their sexual organs copulate properly? Will the sucessive generations be defective? A hybrid can only breed with a hybrid of the same type. etc.) and race is an unexpressed gene in the monkey and cat Faunus, but it's likely that the cat and monkey Faunus would have some residual traits from their ancestory. I feel gimmicky about Faunus capable of breeding with any other race of Faunus because it would be impossible for a Faunus with conflicting selected traits (aka fish gills with bird lungs) to survive comfortably, perhaps even dying during labor or fetal development.

Well the child WILL have animal traits from both the mother and father but they won't be expressed aka manifest as a physical trait.

Defcon Deciever incomplete dominance could be viable for Faunus but using Fire Emblem as a model probably isn't ideal. Think more red and white snapdragon mixed together make a pink snapdragon. Mine wasn't really about recessive or dominant traits, since it was not exactly scientific in One Piece. This is a work of fiction after all. I am talking about massive differences between people of the same race even within the same family.
