Heartkiel - is that really YOU???? I thought you were one of the healthily sceptical! Just the other day I was showing my copy of the old SCC Singapura file to some of the interstate and overseas visitors (here for the National) - and when Tommy Meadows took over the SCC (then SFS) register, she had Pusse, Tess and Tikle down as breed 23 - ruddy aby in GCCF code....with her Usaf's prefix. She bred aby and burm. (And one of the cats which they took to S'pore was a blue Burm male) I've also been told by the sec of a breed council in the USA that in the early days, they came in chocolate. Hmmmmm.
