Today's post is about a TORTIE PERSIAN "Topsy of Merevale" who was born in 1895. The genetics of both sex-linked red and of low-grade silvers was not understood in these early days of breeding and in fact, Topsy bred as a Tortie Smoke, producing one of the finest smoke females in her day, a kitten which started life as 'Baby Flossie' in England, but became the well known American winner, 'Lockehaven Lucy Claire', owned by Mrs Clinton Locke.
