I loved Top Cat. Though, when I watched it, it was called Boss Cat.
Was there a hint of the cat imitating Phil Silvers?

imdb covers both those points:

The character Benny the Ball was voiced by Maurice Gosfield. He also played Private Duane Doberman on The Phil Silvers Show (1955), which "Top Cat" was based on. When the cartoon was shown on British television in the 1960s and 1970s the title was changed to Boss Cat because there was a brand of cat food named Top Cat.

Indeed.......(courtesy wikipedia)

Bleep and Booster is a children's cartoon series by William Timym (pronounced Tim) originally shown on the BBC's Blue Peter. A total of 313 five-minute episodes were released between 1964 and 1977.

So it started during the Trace/Singleton era of BP then - I didn't think it made it to the Groom/Wenner/Heath era.
