"W. Laud, A.B.Cant. was a great lover of Catts, He was presented with some Cyprus-catts, i.e. our Tabby-catts, which were sold, at first for 5 pounds a piece: this was about 1637, or 1638. ... I do well remember that the common English Catt, which was white with some blewish piednesse: sc. a gallipot blew. The race or breed of them is now almost lost."
