Kayla, Ivy's chart (
for reference) shows that Wavy is recessive to Posh and thus does not contradict Julia's post. If Wavy were dominant, and came from Juliet, then the "lowest" tail you'd be able to get on Murdoch would be Wavy (as Juliet would throw either Genesis, which would show, or Wavy).
Since Lycus' line predates Wavy we know it didn't come from there so it
has to come from Juliet; however, Murdoch is showing Posh (which is a looooong throwback down Lycus' line from like 5 generations ago). The only way he could show Posh is if Juliet had Posh or something recessive to it -- in this case, Wavy.
Breeding Juliet back to Murdoch produced Wavy -- in this case, both parents contributed their recessive traits (Wavy), so the kitten is a pure Wavy.
