His head is large & round with great width between small well set ears, smooth rounded forehead, round copper eyes, short nose, full cheeks, firm chin & level bite.

Quite good tabby pattern showing ‘M’ to forehead with lines going over head & down to shoulders with butterfly displayed very well, unbroken lines from outer corner of eyes, pencil lines on cheeks & spotted whisker pads. Today lacks spine lines due to coat change, displaying oysters on flanks & spotted tummy, tail is ringed but all tabby markings diffused due to coat length.

Mrs A Gregory

A really enjoyable show with some beautiful cats to judge. I would like to thank Sally and Paul for the invitation and warm hospitality. I was very grateful to Jen Lacey who was an excellent steward; she handled the cats beautifully across the breeds and took a great interest in them all. I look forward to our next show working together. I took over some classes from other judges and hope the exhibitors were not too disappointed.

Pale green eye colour although the prevailing light was poor, making it difficult to assess correctly. Medium length to the body with a firm, muscular feel. Straight back and good chest. Slender legs with oval paws. The tail was a good length to balance and tapered to a rounded tip. Lovely short coat that was fine and close lying with a healthy gloss. Medium degree of shading showing the soft silver blue extending around half way down the shaft with a pale silvery blue ground.

AC BRITISH PREMIER, FEMALE
I must apologise to the owner of the female spotted tabby entered. I took this class over from another judge; it was way down in my book after all my Opens instead of at the front with the other Grands. Also, with the green flash across the slips instead of the purple or red I think of as the Grand classes, I thought, at a quick glance, it was a side class. Consequently it was after lunch when I reached this female and there was no way she was going to come out and be judged. I thought it was better to leave her in peace rather than force the issue. I am really sorry.

Mrs N Johnson

Many thanks to Sally and the Committee for their kind invitation & excellent hospitality – I always enjoy this show although there were fewer cats entered this year. 

Asian Tabby Adult F – 2 cats entered
1. CC & BOB  PETERS’ BUGGIBA ELLIECHLO GABBIE (72 45eq), Brown Tortie Ticked Tabby, 13.08.06
Tortie ticked girl of pleasing overall type.  Top of head very gently rounded, good width between medium ears showing forward tilt in profile & continuing shape of upper face in front view. Slight rounding to brow in profile, well defined break to fairly short straight nose; short blunt muzzle of good width & medium depth level chin.  Lustrous olive green eyes, set wide apart with top line curving down towards nose & well rounded lower line, giving typical expression.  Solid muscular girl of good weight & maturity, slim legs in proportion to body ending in small oval feet; tail reaches shoulder when brought around side of body & tapers to a “paintbrush” tip – has very small invisible end defect.  Excellent coat of short silky texture, displaying clearly defined ticking extending about half way down the hair shafts,  in darkish seal brown with shades of red on pale beige undercoat. A few bars inside front legs, dark spine line, hocks & tail tip, “M” & scarab on head & light facial markings.  Pretty girl with subtle colouring,  shown in excellent condition.
2.  TAYLOR’S CH ELANAY TIARELLA NOBILL (72 45q), Brown Ticked Tabby, 03.09.06
Almost the same age as the tortie girl but looking a little less mature today.  Fairly large ears, needing a bit more width between them, set on gently rounded top of head; tilted forward in profile but not quite following line of wedge in front view.  Brow a little flat, good break to slightly long straight nose, the tip lining up with level chin of medium depth; muzzle just a bit fine & bite marginally scissored over.  Large lustrous eyes of greenish yellow,  set wide apart & showing correctly slanted top line & full rounded lower line giving a super expression.  Muscular body, feeling a little light in weight today (perhaps due to calling?), slim proportionate legs ending in small oval feet; tail of good shape & correct length to balance.  Pleasing coat of medium length,  fine & silky  in texture showing 2 bands of seal brown ticking, extending around half way down the hair shafts,  on paler brown undercoat.  “M” & scarab on head, facial tracings, faint half necklace, some bars inside front legs, spine line, dark brown colour to tail tip & hocks.  A bit wriggly today!

Asian Smoke or Burmilla Neuter – 1 cat entered
Marked as Wrong Colour:
DOCHERTY’S GR PR LOHR STEELERS WHEEL (72 43asq), Blue Silver Burmilla (burmese colour restriction) MN, 07.06.07
Huge boy of overall good type but somewhat lacking in elegance due to his weight.  Gentle rounding to top of head, medium ears set wide apart, following shape of upper face in front view & tilting forward in profile.  In profile, slight rounding to brow, good break to fairly short straight nose, the tip lining up with level chin of medium depth; excellent width to short blunt muzzle & level bite.  Greenish yellow eyes of very good size, set well apart & showing top line slanting towards nose with nicely rounded lower line, giving typical expression.  Very large heavy body, rounded chest, medium legs ending in oval paws; tail rather thick in shape but tapers a little towards the tip & falls short of shoulder when brought around side of body.  Quite intriguing colour-wise; I could see no evidence of silver in his coat today, there was no undercoat at all on the spine, top of head or face (places where it would certainly be expected on a silver shaded cat),  with only a little (one-third or less of the hair length) off-white undercoat to the lower part of the flanks.  There were warm mushroom tones to the muzzle, chest & paws as would be expected of a blue standard agouti cat.  There was little or no shading of colour tone from the spine down towards the underside, it was the same intensity of blue throughout, giving the impression that he could in fact be a ticked tabby rather than a Burmilla.  However, I gave the benefit of the doubt on this issue, as so many Asians fall somewhere in between the two patterns.  There was quite a bit of ticking in evidence on the flanks,  an unbroken necklace, “M” & scarab on the head, blurred facial markings,  fairly heavy multiple leg bars & tail rings & darker blue extending up hocks & at tip of tail.   The coat was slightly long, rather dense & soft in texture, not quite typical of an Asian Shorthair.   I would be interested to see this boy at a different time of year as it’s possible that his coat may change with seasonal influences.

Asian Tabby Neuter M – 1 cat entered
1. PC & BOB  TAYLOR’S PREFERE STOMU YAMASHTA (72 45fsq), Cream Silver Ticked Tabby (burmese colour restriction) , 15.03.08
Only just over a year old but already a big boy! Good width to gently rounded top of head, medium ears set well apart showing forward tilt in profile & following line of wedge in front view.  Slight rounding to brow, good break to short straight nose , the tip lining up with chin of medium depth.  Pleasing width to blunt muzzle & level bite.  Greenish yellow expressive eyes,  fairly large in size & set well apart;  top line appears a little straight , lacking desired slant towards nose,  good rounding to lower line.    Very solid muscular body (may need to watch his weight as he gets older!), medium legs ending in oval paws; tail is a little thick in shape at base, tapering to a rounded tip & just reaching shoulder when laid along side of body.  Coat is slightly thick in texture, medium in length & fairly close-lying.  Rather subtle pattern evenly distributed over body, ticking of medium warm cream extending at least half way down the hair shafts, with clear silver undercoat.   Most likely a heterozygous ticked tabby, showing “M” & scarab to head, delicate facial markings, unbroken necklace, fairly heavy bars to all limbs & rings to tail, with darker cream extending up hocks.  A very friendly relaxed boy shown in excellent condition.

Devon Rex Kitten M – 1 cat entered.
1. NICE’S KETCHEREX DE JAR VU (33a 36), Black Smoke, 11.10.08
Absolutely delightful purry baby who loved being handled.  Fairly large broad-based tufted ears with small muffs, set quite low on flat skull (he did tend to hold them up at times but he was very interested in everything going on!)  Slight curve to brow in profile, good stop to short nose; well defined whisker break & plenty of width across cheekbones.  Stubbly whiskers & eyebrows, short broad muzzle, medium depth to level chin & correct bite.  Pale green eyes, oval in shape, set wide apart & slanting towards ears, giving typical “wicked” expression.  5 month old boy of good size & weight for age.  Elegant neck, firm body supported on long slim legs ending in small oval feet; well covered tail tapers to tip & reaches beyond shoulder when brought around side of body. Coat covers body & displays rexing over back, flanks, chest & extending down legs;  perhaps a little long & loosely waved for perfection,  but of pleasing soft texture.  A very confident & outgoing kitten, showing promise.

Devon Rex Kitten F – 1 cat entered.
(originally Mrs Anderson’s class)
1. & BOB  CRAGG’S MAGICAL MIZ TIGGYWINKLE (33a 27sx), Brown Smoke Darker Points, 08.11.08
Another very promising kitten & such a time waster – she nearly went in several judges’ and stewards’ pockets! Very large broad-based ears with small tufts & muffs, set low on almost flat skull.  Gently curving brow in profile, well defined stop to short nose & excellent width to short muzzle.  Wide across the cheekbones, definite whisker break with short crinkled whiskers; reasonable depth chin is almost level & bite correct.  Large yellowish-green eyes with stubbly eyebrows, set wide apart, oval in shape & showing slant towards ears, giving delightful “wicked” expression enhanced by wrinkled frown lines on her forehead.  Elegant neck leading to solid muscular body, long slim proportionate legs ending in small oval paws; well covered tapering tail of good length to balance.  A little lacking in coat at present,  although some very fine down is present on her tummy and a reasonable covering on the upper body – too short to rex as yet, apart from on backs of ears & tail.  Wonderful temperament – I loved the overall look of this little girl.  Both of these kittens were a joy to handle, congratulations to the owners & breeders.

Ocicat Kitten F – 1 cat entered.
1. & BOB  LEGGETT’S YESSO DOTTY PAGETT (73b), Chocolate, 09.10.08
 A well grown girl of 5 months.  Large ears with small tufts set at approximately 45 degrees,  gentle curve to brow & slight dip to nose in profile.  Large, lustrous amber eyes, almond shaped & showing desired slant towards ears, enhancing the wild look.  Clearly defined whisker pinch, muzzle of good length, already showing definite suggestion of squareness;  pleasing depth to level chin with correct bite. Lithe muscular body of excellent length, with slim legs in proportion ending in small oval paws, back slightly higher at rear; tail tapers slightly to tip & reaches shoulder when brought around side of body. Excellent coat, dense & satiny in texture with healthy sheen.  Pattern of rich warm chocolate markings on pale copper agouti ground, showing excellent definition & contrast. “M” & scarab on head, facial tracings, lines extending back over head & breaking into spots on spine; small spots over shoulders & larger thumb-print shaped spots on flank showing desired bullseye arrangement.  Double broken necklace, multiple leg bars & tail rings, darker chocolate colour extending up hocks & defining tail tip.  A little nervous out of her pen, but happy & relaxed otherwise.  Congratulations on becoming BOV Foreign Kitten.

AV Foreign Limit Adult – 5 cats entered
1.  SHORTEN’S AMEEKA KESTREL SPIRIT (73 41k), Cinnamon Ocicat Classic F, 01.01.08
A very striking girl. Head forms a modified wedge, with large wide-based ears set at correct angle; slight dip to nose in profile, well defined whisker pinch & gentle curve to cheeks.  Muzzle of good length with excellent square appearance,  pleasing depth to level chin &  correct bite. Pale amber eyes, oval in shape & set with slight slant towards ears, displaying desired “wild” expression.  Large muscular girl of over a year old, with long body, broad chest, medium legs in proportion ending in small oval feet.  Tail broad at base, tapering slightly to tip & reaches shoulder when laid along side of body.

2 WILLIAMS’ PR.RIASCATZ SIMPLY RED (12a5) DOB 31.03.06.  This was a red and white boy who had good overall balance, but unfortunately I thought he was let down by preparation.  His coat was rather curly, and needed more grooming.  I would have liked his red patches to have more brightness.  He had a white blaze on his face, a white patch on his back, white on his lower back on both his right and left side.  His four legs and feet were white.  He had nice large round eyes that were of a good copper, his bite was good and he had a firm chin.  His nose was short with a good break.  He had a good cobby build, with a large round head, full cheeks, a short broad body, short thick legs and a full short tail.  He was a friendly lad and easy to handle.

My thanks to Sally and the Committee for the kind invitation to judge. Tina Bray came to steward for my and looked after the cats and myself admirably, many thanks for all your hard work.

Mrs B Pearce

My thanks to Sally, Paul and the committee for my invite, and as always to the exhibitors for bringing their lovely cats. I enjoyed my day very much in the company of my superb steward Lisa Aggett – thanks once again Lisa for giving up your time to spend the day with me.

OPEN CLASSES.
ORIENTAL IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER MALE.
IGP, SMITH’S GR PR MOUSTACHES FENTON FAUVE. (37fn) 22.6.99. Oriental Apricot. A very handsome and impressive chap in wonderful condition; one of the first cats I judged when I became a judge of orientals, and one which taught me all about sound coats!! Very strong broad wedge head with length to balance. Ears well set although, on such a strong head, they could be a touch larger. Very good strong profile with a deep firm chin, clean white teeth, and a perfectly level bite. Eyes well set and shaped, of clear bright green, lovely soulful expression. Long muscular body and neckline, slightly heavy but very well toned. Stands up tall on long strong legs. Tapered tail needs just a little more length for perfect balance. Superb sound and close lying coat, very even in tone and free of ghosting – the colour hot and sandy, an excellent example of his particular breed colour. Approaching 10 years and looking as good as ever, as always he was beautifully presented and a delight to handle.
RIGP w/h, 2 ELLIS’S GR PR MYLYNN MOONSHADOW. (62 20). 9.12.06. Oriental Brown Tabby Longhair. This lad has absolutely wonderful type but he is a longhair and, although his coat texture is excellent, at his age I would expect to see more length of coat. It is difficult, be it time of the year, hormones or whatever, and I do sympathise, but I have seen him with a lot more coat than he has at the moment. Beautifully balanced strong wedge head with large ears, wide based, well flared and with wisps and fronds. Strong profile with a firm chin and level bite. Lovely expression to mid green eyes of excellent oriental shape and set. Long muscular body, well nourished but very firm. Long strong legs, well plumed tail. Fine silky textured coat, beautifully prepared but, at the moment, generally lacking the length required by the breed standard. Tabby markings excellent on his head, face and legs. His plume shows some diffuse rings. Solid wide spine line. Spots well distributed and although there is some linkage they are impressively sound. Presentation and temperament both excellent.

ORIENTAL IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER FEMALE.
IGP w/h, 1 CLAYDEN’S GR PR SPELLCASTER BLACKBESS. (37) 24.2.04. Oriental Black. An attractive lady in excellent condition and of good overall type, but in my opinion she does not quite make Imperial.. Mid length wedge head with well set ears of adequate size. Profile shows a small dip and her chin could be deeper. Teeth untidy but her bite was acceptable. Slightly full pale green eyes rather lacking the wicked look that I love to see in a black. Long slender body with dainty legs and paws. Tail a good whip – for perfection could be a touch longer. Superb short, close coat which was jet black and sound to the roots. Rather a shy girl, beautifully prepared and presented
ORIENTAL TORTOISESHELL ADULT.
CC w/h, 1 KEEDY’S THAIANTIA WHAT THEDILLIO. (37h) 19.12.07. Chocolate Tortie. A young queen of average type, looking a tad immature for her age. Shorter wedge head. Ears could be larger and require more width between them. Tiny dip to profile, good chin and bite. Eyes of good shape and set but held full - pale chartreuse in colour. Long slim body with dainty legs and feet. Good whip tail. Lovely texture to her short sleek coat, well patched and mingled in dark rich chocolate and shades of bright red. Presentation and temperament both excellent.

HAVANA NEUTER MALE.
PC w/h, 1 SOLARUS NIRAN CHAO-FAH. 8.6.08. Just 9 months and well grown for his age but of very kittenish appearance at the moment. Shorter wedge head. Ears could be larger and require more width between them. Dip to profile, fairly good chin, level bite. Innocent wide eyed expression to bright green eyes. Well nourished body, somewhat at the ‘puppy’ stage at the moment. Long sturdy legs. Tail tapered and of balancing length. Coat of good length and texture, the colour looked quite dark, and a touch cold but this could have been as a result of the yellow hall lighting – on the plus side it was reasonably sound. Presentation and temperament both excellent.  

ORIENTAL CLASSIC TABBY NEUTER MALE.
PC w/h, 1 WILLIAMS & MARSH’S PATCHESTY IGGLEPIGGLE. (41n) 8.6.08. Caramel Classic. Of good type but very immature and kittenish at the moment, and the classic pattern that should have been, sadly was not. Evenly balanced wedge head. Ears of good size but need to be a little more open at the base. Bump on profile, firm chin, level bite. Bright mid green eyes of lovely oriental shape and set. Slender body with good muscle, but needs to gain in masculinity. Long slim legs. Long whip tail. Super coat texture, his colour excellent with warm brownish grey markings on a warm beige ground. He did have good facial markings, broken leg bars and some classic tail rings, plus 1 unbroken and 2 broken necklaces, but the lines running over his head disappear into a virtually solid spine line with no evidence of butterflies, and what should have been clear oysters were barely discernible as such. His temperament was superb and his presentation excellent.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE.
1 & BOB, KINCAIDE’S MAFDET MOVIESTAR. (32/1) 4.10.08. Lovely baby. Strong and even wedge head with large wide based ears, set well apart and very well flared. Very good profile, almost straight with a firm chin and level bite. Very good oriental shape and set to her dark blue eyes, held a touch full when out of her pen. Long body, a little dainty in stature at the moment but she was firm and weighty. Slim legs. Well ringed fine whip tail. Good warm seal tabby markings. Firm thumb prints. Clear M and single cheek ribbons. Paler leg bars and arm bands. Almost clear warm toned body, her coat short and close lying. Lovely temperament – promising baby.

MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE BREEDERS ADULT.
1 SIMPSON’S SHERMESE MERCEDES. (24n) F 9.4.08. Caramel Point Siamese. Very attractive and stylish. Strong wedge and profile with a firm chin and level bite. Ears very large, beautifully set and flared. Lovely eyes and expression. Very tall and elegant with a long well toned body, slender legs and fine whip tail. Well matched blue based caramel points. Lightly shaded off white body, her coat a touch long but close lying. Gorgeous girl.
2, RICHARDS’S DEBIKAT GRACIE-MAE. (32/1) F 2.4.08. Seal Tabby Point Siamese. All in balance she has fulfilled her early promise, made Champion today I gather – well done. Strong wedge head, straight profile, firm chin, acceptable bite. Ears large, wide based and of excellent set. Lovely eyes and expression. Long slender body, long slim legs, long well ringed tail. Well defined warm seal tabby markings. Lightly ticked body with a short, close lying coat. Delightful girl.

Bright blue eyes held a touch full. Long slender body with legs and tail in balance. Well matched dense seal points. Warmly shaded body – close lying coat. Sweet girl, calling furiously!!

AV NON BREEDERS ADULT.
1 TURNER’S APPLEJACK SUMMERHEAT. (32fn) M 27.2.07. Apricot Point Siamese. A boy of good overall type. Mid length wedge head, small pinch, straight profile, chin lacks depth – shows acne. Level bite. Ears well set but could be larger. Bright vivid blue eyes – well shaped and set. Firm well muscled body, long legs, tapered tail a little greasy at the base. Hot, sandy points. Lightly shaded creamy white body – his coat a touch long and fluffy. Very tense.
2 SMITH’S FIROUSI FORYOUREYESONLY. (48 40d) M 29.4.07. Oriental Red Point & White Bi-Colour. A boy of good overall type. Short broad wedge head, near straight profile, firm chin, level bite. Ears of good size and well set. Slightly full pale blue eyes. Mid length well muscled body, long legs and tail. Pale red points. Face shows a small white inverted V. His legs appeared to be completely white but I do appreciate the difficulty with a red point in artificial light! Apart from a little light shading over his back the rest of his body was white, so well over the required 1/3. Coat a little coarse but of good length and close lying. Shy but gentle boy.
3 TITTERALL’S MAMAMIA MISS DIOR. (48e) F 30.10.07. Oriental Black Tortie & White Bi-Colour.

AV RADIUS KITTEN.
1 WILDON’S SUNJADE SILKMOTH. (45k) F 15.10.08. Oriental Cinnamon Ticked Tabby. Beautiful baby, very well grown. Short strong wedge head, straight profile, firm chin, level bite. Large wide based and very well set ears. Eyes bright green and expressive. Long well muscled body, long legs and tail. Rich warm cinnamon ticked coat, short and very close fitting, of wonderful texture, with even treble ticking over the whole of her body. A beauty queen with attitude!

AV KITTEN.
1 ROWLAND’S SOLARUS MORGANA. (37j) F 25.9.08. Oriental Lilac Tortie. Fine and dainty girl, very tall and slinky.  Long wedge head, needs just a touch more width to balance.

Mrs J Reed

Many thanks to Sally and Paul For the invite and hospitality – a low entry this year for this normally very popular Show, in line with so many others in the current climate unfortunately. Thanks also to Pat for her attention and care to our charges.

1 (IGC w/h) HAGGAR’S  GRCH SUSPIRIA SIMPLY SOLARUS   (37r) 21/4/07  A well balanced young fawn man with the most endearing of temperaments. Short even wedge with well set ears that ideally could be a little larger, small bump to nose in profile, firm depth of chin and level bite, oriental eyes of good depth of green, tiny pinch evident, level bite, good length of neck – body is of proportionate length with slender legs and neat paws. Tail needs another inch although a good whip. Warm rosy tone to coat  - a few ‘highlights’ evident to back and sides otherwise it is of a reasonable soundness and was of good texture, just a fraction long. His tail unfortunately was suffering from quite a large greasy area showing ‘stud tail’ which is always a problem on a young male of this age but I felt detracted overall for the high level of this award. Sorry.

1 IGC  SMITH’S GR CH MYLYNN MISHKA  (62 43s) 26/5/06  OLH Silver shaded lady who shows fine elegant oriental type, medium wedge with ears of good size that ideally for my preference need a little more width and flare to them, excellent eye shape and set of bright green, almost straight profile and minimal pinch, level bite, long fine neck and toned lengthy body with length of tail to balance, long legs the paws just a little large. She shows a super pattern for her breed with the silver pushed well up the hair shaft considering she has an ideal length of coat, dark hocks and facial tracings, super plume and fronds – her coat was close lying but of very good length and texture.

C ORIENTAL PREMIER NEUTER MALE

1 LOWELL’S  PR SUSPIRIA WILLIAM BECKFORD  (37k) 21/4/07  A large gentleman who did not appreciate being disturbed from his mid morning nap he said! Medium wedge with large ears that are set close and held high, tiny dip to profile firm depth of chin and level bite, oriental eyes of a pale green tone – held a touch full until relaxed, lacking in neckline rather and his body although of good length is very rotund which blurs his oriental type, whip tail marginally short. Coat warm in tone but very unsound and patchy with ghost barring and tail rings showing, of very good texture.
2 JAMES & HART  PR KRISTOPHE LITTLEWILLOW  (29c) 27/1/06 Lilac lad who was looking extremely ‘sludgy’ warm brownish grey  toned I have to say – would not wrong colour in the Hall lighting but he would be interesting to see in daylight, his nose leather and paw pads  being a pinkish grey as well. Medium wedge with quite a pronounced pinch, ears of good size but set close and high, eyes of a good shape of pale green tone, lacks depth to chin and the bite just over long firm body and balancing tail, long fine legs. Coat of very good texture – condition was excellent.

1 (PC and BOB w/h) JAMES & HART  PR KRISTOPHE LITTLEWILLOW  27/1/06

1 (PC w/h)  ELLIS’ ROUJASMA RED RUFUS  (62 43 ds) 22/3/08  Rather a shy young man this red silver shaded. Medium wedge with ears of good size but they are set and held forward which unbalances somewhat, bump over brow in profile, eyes a little full in shape and unfortunately yellow in tone (my main reason for w/h), chin and bite ok, well nourished body, length of tail with small defect approx 1” from tip which of course because of the length of coat is not visible. Very heavy legs and large paws.dark red shading extending approx half of hair length to red/silver base, coat prfuse and although of good texture does not really lie close to body.
BOB ELLIS’ GR PR MYLYNN MOONSHADOW  (62 20) 9/12/06 Brown tabby lad who has glorious type and style I was just a bit hesitant as I would like a little more coat by this age although what there was was of a lovely texture.

1 CC and BOB   SIMPSON’S  SHERMESE MERCEDES 9/4/08  Elegant and flashy young miss. Long wedge just a little sharp to muzzle and with tiny depression evident. large open based ears set following the lines, oriental vivid blue eyes, tiny pinch, good depth to chin and bit ok.Long neck and fine body with slender legs and neat paws. Dark blue based points showing correct brown tone developing, purple/brown leather and pads evident, tonal shading, excellent coat texture and length. Feeling a little hormonal I think as she was very amorous towards us!

Considered for and awarded BOB  HARRINGTON’S  PR LOLUJA CASTINGASPELL  (32/10)  8/9/07  Long and lengthy chap of good type, just needs a little more chin. Points of a warm cream tone and his coat off warm white with minimal shading, points lightly etched. Handled confidently and well.

1 TITTERALL’S  MAMIA MISS DIOR  (48e) F 30/10/07  Black tortie and white Bi-Colour. Rather sharp wedge with large ears that are set too close to balance, almost straight profile, lacking depth to chin although bite ok, oriental eyes of good green – she appeared to be favouring the right one, fine slender body with whip tail and dainty legs. Glossy almost sound black to sparkling white ration – there were some good rich red breaks but unfortunately she has a degree of white hairs evident in her black areas. Short gleaming coat qualities.

1 ARMSTRONG’S  CH JOHPAS RED ROUE  (32a) 19/10/07This red lad has a text book head against the SOP  - with large open based ears forming triangular lines , oriental vivid blue eyes, straight profile, firm chin and level bite, his body of good length and muscle – needing a tad more substance as yet which is probably an adolescent male  thing when they come out of ‘puppy fat’ stage. Whip tail and long fine legs. Bright red gold points – the legs paler and virtually unshaded bright white body. His coat long but of good texture. Purred for us non-stop.
2 SMITH’S  FIROUSI FORYOUREYESONLY (48 40 d) M 29/4/07 Red Point and White Bi colour male who at the moment lacks any masculinity – still looks very adolescent and is indeed at the puppy fat slightly short stage. Short wide wedge with minimal pinch, ears of good size but he tends to bonnet them, almost straight profile, no pinch, good chin and bite, eyes full in shape and pale blue in colour, lacking a little in neckline and his body is of very good weight but needing to ‘pull out’ and gain the hard muscle of a full male, His points show a pleasing brightness, lovely inverted white V to his nose and has sparkling white to 2/3 of his body, pale stockings and saddle of colour  just evident. Good texture to slightly long coat.

1 WILDON’S   SUNJADE SILKMOTH (45k) F 15/10/08   Lovely cinnamon ticked with a textbook pattern to her – the SOP could be written around it! Short strong wedge with large well set ears she just bonnets a tad when out of the pen, almost straight profile, firm depth to chin and spot on bite, oriental eyes of a pale green tone, firm well developed body and lengthy tail, quite sturdy legs and boots! Warm rich coat  - a real ‘rabbit’ pelt to her with treble band ticking which is even and matched from her head through body, legs and tail. Coat fits like a glove. Lovely – as with all true stars very aware of her own importance!

1 LORS & LORD’S  DRUIDSWAY BLACK PANTHER  (37) MN 7/5/08 As the name suggests an Ori Black who is indeed slinky and panther like. Very elegant with long wedge and wide set ears, oriental brilliant green eyes, lacks chin unfortunately which ruins his profile somewhat however his bit is ok, long fine neck and body with long string-like tail and super slim long legs. Short gleaming virtually sound coat – very flashy and eye catching!

1 CROWLEY&LAMBERT’S  JOHPAS RAFAEL (32fn)MN 9/5/08  Well grown handsome apricot lad, Long wedge with roman profile large well set ears balancing length, oriental bright blue eyes, chin falls away, small pinch, bite ok, long neck and lengthy firmly toned body with whip tail, stands tall on elegant legs. Points of a glowing hot tone with a warm white coat ‘dusted’ in apricot sheen. Coat short and gleaming.

AV NEUTER
1 WILLIAMS & MARSH  PATCHESTY IGGLEPIGGLE  (41n) MN 8/6/08 Caramel classic lad who is suffering a bit of an identity crisis regarding pattern and looks rather effeminate. Neat wedge with bump over brow in profile, ears of reasonable size but needing to be more open to base, oriental eyes of pale green, chin and bite ok, short fine body with whip tail, Shows 1 complete and 2 broken necklaces and a vestige of lines running from head to shoulders however there it stops. Virtually solid along spine and not a hint of ‘butterfly’ or ‘oyster’  evident. His colour is excellent  - clearly caramel with warm beige ground colour, broken leg bracelets. Excellent short coat of very good texture.

Thanks to Sally and Paul for inviting me to their show. Sally I hope your leg is now fully operational! I had a most enjoyable day with Sandie Holloway as my steward, always a pleasure to be with for myself and the cats. Thanks Sandie. I judged several classes I wasn’t scheduled to and hope the exhibitors in these were not disappointed.
