Mrs V Anderson

Many thanks to Helen and her hardworking team for the kind invitation to judge and the hospitality.  Travelling was made easier as my husband kindly offered to do the driving.  Carol Blakemore came along to steward and an excellent job she made of it as usual.  Many thanks

Open Classes

Imperial Grand Premier British

1st but Imp n/a Hilliyard’s Gr Pr Pollyfelina Blue Kamino (16) 27.03.2003

This girl was very upset and distressed when we reached her at the start of the day.  We did get her out, but I was not able to fully assess her. We did let her settle and try once again, but I am afraid this was not to be and I was not prepared to cause her any further upset.

Cream Adult

1st Ch n/a Hilliyard’s Bestofbritz Romeo (17) 16.04.2006

I judged this boy back in the winter I cannot remember his coat being so hot in colour. Masculine expression to his head, but he would keep pushing out his whisker pads making his muzzle look rather square in appearance. Lovely large expressive orange eyes. Good profile which leads to a short broad nose, firm chin and level bite.  He seemed to have lost some weight since we last met and his body was narrow across his flanks. Good strong legs and rounded paws. His tail balances to body, but was very orange in colour with heavy ghost tail rings. Today his coat was not uniform in colour.  His coat is far too hot which almost looked to be pale orange. It was also showing some unsoundness at the base of the hair.  Not his time of year perhaps.

Lilac Adult Male

1st but Ch n/a Bessley’s Havenhouse Shamrock (15c) 20.06.2008

I am afraid this boy just looked very kittenish  in both head type and body development. Fairly round head with rather large upright ears which were also wide at the base.  Good profile with a short broad nose.  Round eyes of very pale gold with a green eye rim present. Needs to develop more width to his cheeks and strengthen from behind his muzzle line. Very four square short backed boy of good weight and nice and solid to the touch. Nice legs and rounded paws with a balanced tail.  His coat is on the long side and therefore laid flat. It was also very unsound at the roots and very cold in tone which  also showed ghost markings throughout.  He was a very sweet natured chap who showed himself well.

Lilac Adult Female

1st but Ch n/a Fuller & Black’s Westways Lilacjasmin (15c) 13.02.2006

A mature girl of just over three years old who had a feminine shape to her head, her ears are rather upright on the top and require more width between them. Nice profile with a short broad nose with some width to her cheeks. Small eyes which were a little deep set and rather pale in colour.  Fairly firm chin and level bite. Nice weight to her body being cobby and four squared, but she tends to stand tall on her legs. Tail of mid length with a pointed tip which showed a lot of tarnishing present today. Her coat is dense, but a tad long and not uniform in length overall. It was unsound at the roots and showed banding up the hair shaft. Again the colour was very cold, and lacked the correct lilac tone.  A sweet girl who was easy to handle.

Tipped Adult Male 

1st Ch Dobson’s Advish My Jamesy (39f) 05.04.2006

A super Red Tipped chap who showed lovely maturity. Round broad head with good ears which fit the contour well.  Very nice profile with a short broad straight nose. Expressive eyes when he would fully open them. Good width to his cheeks, but I would have just liked a little more muzzle strength to balance his head overall.   Level bite, but his chin tends to fall away slightly. Superb large balanced body of excellent weight being broad across his chest and showing good depth to the flanks. Good strong legs finished in round paws.  Tail in balance with round tip.  Lovely well groomed coat with super even tipping.  A lovely chap who pushed hard for BOB today.

Tipped Adult Female.

1st Ch & BOB Rowe’s Heathdown Shadow Dancer (39) 27.05.2008

We meet again – A beautiful balanced girl of excellent British type Lovely full broad round head with excellent underlying bone structure. Wee small well spaced ears which fit her head well.  Lovely round profile with a short broad nose.  Lovely full wide cheeks and round muzzle line.  Firm chin and level bite.  Excellent body conformation and bone.  Not overlarge, but well balanced and cobby Stands on strong little legs with round paws.  Tail in balance to both her body and legs.  Superb coat being groomed down to the last hair and showing lovely even light tipping.  Presented in super condition and what a sweetie.

2nd Dobson’s Bylake Missy Mary (39e) 28.04.2008

Another super exhibit that showed herself to her best advantage. Super full broad round head with lovely open expression. Ears still a tad on the generous size and also open at the base.  Good profile with a short broad nose, level bite and fairly firm chin. Lovely balance to her body lines which already shows good breadth and depth.  I would just like a little more bone development to her legs with round paws.  Tail thick at base with round tip. Super thick dense coat which showed the tortie elements, but there was a lot of ghost markings throughout.  She is only young so hopefully her coat sort itself out.  A super girl shown in lovely condition and such a pleasure to see this colour being shown.

Unplaced Bessly’s Myllbank Isabella (39) 07.06.2008

I am not going to comment to much about this exhibit other than she was underdeveloped as confirmed by the Duty Vet. However, she had a super gentle nature and her coat was short, thick and dense with super even tipping. 

Golden Tipped Adult

1st Ch & BOB Whine’s Templegates Jazdane Oriel (75) 07.06.2008

A super chunky well grown girl of just over months old.  Super head type with lovely open expression with wee small ears which fit her head well.  Nice round profile with a short broad nose. Expressive eyes which are a little deep set, but of very pleasing colour. Good rounded cheeks and a lovely broad muzzle. Fairly firm chin and a level bite. Not overlarge but cobby and very well balanced being a lovely weight with a good firm feel to her, carried on strong little legs and rounded paws.  Short tail with round tip with some ghost rings present as yet. Lovely warm rich coloured undercoat with even tipping.  There are still some ghost markings present, but she is only young so time is very much on her side.  Presented well and enjoyed her cuddles today.

Colourpointed Exc Cinnamon & Fawn Adult Male

1st but Ch n/a Dobson’s Leahsblues Bobbymoor (40.4) 05.04.2004

A large boy  of good size and weight who was just a little anxious whilst out on the table.  His head lacked size and maturity one would expect at this age. It needs to be broader and more full and his ears are still rather on the large size and open at the base. Profile a little flat between his ears.  Short broad nose and he needs more muzzle strength and width to his cheeks.  Firm chin, but his bite is not level.  His left upper canine is mal-placed and he is overshot (as confirmed by the Duty Vet).  He has a strong and muscular body of excellent weight But tends to stand a fraction tall on his legs. Tail in balance to his body and legs. I am afraid his points are very cold almost verging on blue and do not show the correct tone.  Also his mask has travelled too far over the top of his head. Settled in the security of his pen.

2nd Palmer’s Cerindacat Valentino (40.4) 13.06.2007

As yet this boy still lacks maturity and still looks very much like a teenager in both head type and stature.  Round head with ears which are still on the generous size for balance.  Round profile leading to a short broad nose.  Small pale blue deep set eyes. Cheeks need to fill further as does his muzzle for overall balance of his head.  Fairly firm chin and level bite. At present he is going through the adolescent stage of development being long and lean and standing tall on his legs which require more bone.  He was solid to the touch and muscular. His points are far too dark and very cold in tone.  There was so shading on his coat, but this was tonal to the rest of him.  Again I am afraid his mask had travelled beyond his ears albeit being paler in colour, but clearly visible. Sweet natured boy who showed himself well.

Colourpointed Exc Cinnamon & Fawn Adult Female

1st but Ch n/a Ruther ford’s Animoso Pianino (40.4) 19.08.2007

This lady was almost eighteen months old and looked very adolescent as yet.  Fairly round head shape with ears which are on the generous size for balance and also open at the base.  Nice round profile with a short broad nose.  Well opened pale blue even coloured eyes.  Cheeks need to attain more roundness and she needs to develop more muzzle strength,firm chin and level bite.  She is going through the teenage stage of development and needs  to fill out and develop on more.  Stands tall on her legs with round paws.  Balanced tail with round tip.  Good contrast between her lilac points which were a little cold in tone and her magnolia body colour , although it was of a lovely length with a good firm feel to it.  She was a sweetie with such a gentle nature

Selkirk Rex Adult LH & SH Intermediate Male

1st 1C Walker’s Amazolou The New Schmoo (79s39d) 13.04.2008

I have not judged this boy some time and he is maturing into ‘one fine chap’.  Today he was on the end of the row near to the table workers which made him just a tad uneasy, but he still handled well and enjoyed his cuddles  Superb broad head with good underlying bone structure which is full and round with medium sized ears which were broad at the base and showing tufts to the tips. Good profile with a short broad nose well filled cheeks and a lovely well-padded rectangular muzzle line.  Lovely curly whiskers His bite was level and his chin firm. Lovely balanced muscular cobby body with a good level back and showing nice width to both his chest and rump.  Also lovely and solid to the touch. Good strong thick powerful legs with rounded paws.  Thick tail which balances to both his body and legs with rounded tip.  Super short thick coat which stands away well from his body with lovely random curl with a lovely plushy feel to it.  His tipping is now developing well and clearly visible.  A super boy who was a pleasure to judge.

2nd Palmer’s Curly Daglo Van Brifety (79L15c)

A lovely boy who pushed the winner very hard today.  Super head type with good bone structure beneath.  His ears fit well into the shape of his head although I would have liked a tad more width, broad at the base with lovely tufts to the tips.  Excellent width across his brow Very nice profile with a short, broad straight nose.  Cheeks well filled with a lovely well padded muzzle giving the rectangular appearance ,firm chin and level bite.  Superb strong well grown body of excellent size and weight being broad across his shoulders and back and showing lovely depth to the flanks.  Stands on short thick muscular legs with rounded paws.  Lovely tail with loose random curls.   His coat was lovely and thick with lovely loose random curls.  What let this boy down today was that he was matted and had knots both on his tummy and down the sides of his body.  Otherwise he is a super chap.

Colourpointed Exc Cinnamon & Fawn Neuter

1st Pr & BOB Allen’s Cincci Enrique (40.4) 19.09.2007

A lovely placid gentleman of super size and balance.  Round head with ears which still are on the generous size for balance.  Nice round profile with a short broad nose.  Expressive pale blue well opened eyes.  Cheeks filling out well and already showing muzzle strength and development.  Firm chin and a level bite.  He had a large frame which hopefully in time he will fully fill. However, he was lovely and solid to the touch and of excellent weight.  Standing tall on his legs with round paws.  Good tail of medium length with round tip. Nice coat for length, texture and density.  His magnolia body colour contrasts well to his points which were just a little cool in tone.  Every inch the gentleman.

Selkirk Rex Neuter LH & SH Intermediate Female

1st Pr & BOB Gillott Amazolou Edna Mode (79s36e) 03.04.2007

What a sweet lady who showed herself so well and was beautifully prepared and presented.  Lovely head type with good bone structure beneath with medium ears which could have been slightly more broad at the base and showing tufts to the tip, Nice profile with a well rounded broad forehead. Large round expressive eyes.  Good width across her cheeks and a well padded muzzle line.  Firm chin and level bite. Super cobby body of excellent size and weight being firm and solid to the touch.  I just would have liked a little more boning to her legs finished in round paws.  Good tail which balanced to her body and legs. Super colouration to her coat which showed lovely plush random curls with no bare patches present.  A super girl who was a pleasure to judge.

My thanks to Helen Hewitt and the club for my invitation to judge at this busy show.
Thanks also for the generous hospitality.
Foreign Imperial Grand Champion Male
Imp Gr Laugher's GR CH LOHR AZTEC CAMERA
Asian lad who I am convinced has Velcro on his feet, you just can't put him down. Good expression to eyes, which were a pleasing colour and complimented his coat colouring beautifully. Nice overall type, with break in profile, nose straight to tip. Well placed ears with gentle rounding between. He has a slight tendency to hold them a little higher depending on what catches his eye but they are set well. Strong muscular body correct limbs and tail. Pleasing coat texture and colouring. Charming character well shown in good condition, with the added extra of the most endearing nature.
Res Alger Street's GR CH TYPHAST HURRICANE
Bengal with super expression to his pale green eyes. Nice profile, would like more strength to his chin. Well developed jowls. Ears of good size set well. Muscular body, very strong limbs and fair tail. Fair coat of good texture and showing superb pattern.

Brown boy just full of quality and so aptly named. Short blunt wedge with good break in profile. Nice chin and level bite. Well placed ears showing the desired forward tilt. Lovely eyes (when he can be bothered to open them). Excellent body conformation and he certainly illustrates the wording in the Burmese Standard of points (heavier than it's appearance indicates)! Slender legs and neat oval paws. Straight tail of medium thickness at its base then tapered to a paintbrush tip. Magnificent coat, short, fine, silky in texture and showing the gloss, which only comes with good health. Fits him like a glove. Prepared and presented to perfection The very sweetest nature completes the picture, so laid back, a real time waster as the saying goes.
Res Gr Ch Alger Street's CH TYPHA BUFFOON BILLY
Very mature Lilac boy of almost 7 years who's seen it all before. Strong head type, would like a bit more width between his eyes. Weighty body, good limbs and tail. Coat not looking it's best on the day. Obviously a busy lad.
Grand Champion Burmese Female
What a fine line up of 8 girls, unfortunately some were a little upset so I decided to delay judging this class for a while to give them the chance to settle down. I apologise to the exhibitors who had to wait for my results but I felt it was the fairest thing to do.
Gr Ch Bone's CH SYKRIS DEJA VEUX
Very pretty lilac girl with the look that makes my toes curl. Short blunt wedge with defined break in profile. Level bite and nice chin. Well set ears of good size and shape. Large lustrous eyes of super colour. Excellent body conformation, dainty spoon shaped feet and correct tail to balance. Soft silky coat, short, close lying and of a delicate lilac shade.
Res Gr Ch Moore's CH DULCAMARA SOUSANNA
Brown girl not in the best of moods. Super look to her eyes no doubt enhanced by her
tantrum. Nice overall head type, might like a bit more depth to her chin. Well set ears with
slight forward tilt. Firm well muscled body slender legs and neat spoon shaped feet. Excellent coat quality and super seal brown colouring. Healthy gloss completed the picture.

puffed nose leather. Large ears fairly well set and expressive eyes. Strong neck, very
muscular body and strong limbs. Tail of correct shape and thickness. Coat of pleasing texture,
dense and soft. Black markings on a fair silvery ground.
Some slight tarnishing on head and limbs but not enough to spoil the overall effect for me.

Well prepared and presented.

Mrs M Baker

Sincere thanks to Helen and her assistants for this delightful Eastertide show.   Thanks also to my steward David Denny for his able assistance, and continued success to his superb British boys.

GRAND CHAMPION ORIENTAL MALE - GrCC, TARBOX'S CH TIJANMEEK NAVHRA, 37d, 1yr.7mths.  Very typy Oriental with a good wedge, beautiful straight profile and deep chin.  Complete dentition and fairly good bite.  Ears of good shape and flare, not overstated in size.  Oriental eyes with good depth of green and soulful expression, gaze a little off-centre but this was due to tension.  Firm strong body, elegant legs and tail of good length and shape.  Coat short and close, rich red to the roots but being an intense colour showed rather strong patterning.  Unfortunately he was nervous and became a bit upset, but I had seen enough of his quality to award him the Grand.
GRAND CHAMPION ORIENTAL FEMALE - GrCC, SMITH'S GR CH MYLYNN MISHKA, 62 43s, 2yrs.10mths.   Graceful shaded silver Longhair.  Medium even wedge, good profile, shallow but even chin.  Bite slightly overlapped at the tips.  Ears of lovely size and flared shape, rather low set on forehead, enough width between.  Expressive green eyes of typical shape.  Long neck, firm but rather heavy body, long strong legs.  Coat medium in length and consistent, sat nice and close, had well furnished ears and a lovely full tail plume.  Silver is so attractive and hers was very pure colour, shaded halfway to the roots.  
ORIENTAL RED ADULT -   1, CC & BOB, TARBOX'S CH TIJANMEEK NAVHRA
ORIENTAL TORTIE ADULT - 1, CC & BOB, WALTER'S NUTROSTAR APRILMOON, F, 37e, 11mths. 1wk.  Willowy and graceful.  Long fine wedge with a suggestion of a pinch, lovely profile, shallow chin, bite nearly perfect.  Oriental eyes of pleasing green, large well set ears.  Long neck, firm slim body, long fine legs, elegant feet, long whippy tail.  Sleek close coat showing a good mix of black and bright reds, sound to roots, everything in balance.  Talkative and amiable young lady, my favourite Oriental of the day.  
ORIENTAL SHADED ADULT - CC & BOB w/h. 1, BROWN'S CHOCTAW ERAGON, M, 43s, 1yr.3mths.  Sturdy boy with a confident personality.  Wedge of medium length with good profile.  Chin fair, bite undeniably overshot.  Ears well shaped and set, could do with wider spacing.  Oriental eyes of good green, tended to turn inwards although he was quite relaxed.  Strong firm body, limbs and long tail to balance.  Beautiful fine textured dark silver coat, albeit rather deeply shaded in places, unfortunately there was widespread tarnishing round the cheeks, down the chest and inside legs.  I had to withhold on these minus points.  Very sweet natured.
ORIENTAL CREAM OR APRICOT NEUTER -  BOB to SMITH'S GR PR MOUSTACHES FENTON FAUVE, MN, 37fn,
9yrs.9mths.  Charming fellow, a real cuddlebug, carrying his years very easily.  Even wedge, profile had a gentle downward curve, chin a bit narrow.  Congratulations on preserving a complete and level bite.  Low set ears, wide based but could do with being a touch larger.  Rounded top of head forming a beautiful line flowing down back of neck to shoulders.  Glorious eyes of a mellow green, full of intelligent expression.  Long substantial body, strong elegant legs, long tail.  Close apricot coat with metallic overtone on head.
ORIENTAL FAWN NEUTER - 1, PC & BOB, WRIGHT & DURRANT'S MEWZISHUN FAWN KARAJAN, MN, 9mths.3wks.  Very attractive youngster though rather a dark shade of fawn.  Medium length wedge, whiskers puffed, once they were smoothed back the lines were even enough.  Very good straight profile, good depth of chin, bite just a bit untidy.  Lovely flared wide based ears.  Eyes a good definite green, widely spaced.  Long neck and body, rather overweight considering his slenderness.  Fine legs and feet, tail in balance.  Super coat, tight and close like a silk glove, sound and evenly coloured.  As befits the prefix, he was obviously named after the famous conductor.
ORIENTAL CARAMEL NEUTER -  1, IC & BOB, SMITH'S MOUSTACHES CARAMEL TWIST, MN, 5yrs.7mths.  Large, sturdily built middle-aged fellow.  Long wedge with serious face.  Ears nicely set and flared.  Gentle curve over profile, chin rather fine, level bite.  Lovely oriental eyes of lime green.  Large well fed body, long legs, long shapely feet.  Tail tapered but needs more length.  Shining close coat of evenly coloured blue caramel, acceptable for soundness.  A heavy armful!
SIAMESE SEAL POINT ADULT - 1,CC & BOB, RIDGEWAY'S HARTZIE GALAXYOFSTARS, F, 11mths.2wks.  Attractively feminine though rather slight and small.  Medium length wedge with a very good profile and even chin, bite a little untidy.  Large wide based ears held low.  Wide open eyes of beautiful sapphire.  Long elegant neck, firm almost tubular body, long fine legs, tail only just long enough to balance.  Lovely deep seal brown points showing excellent contrast to the body, lightly shaded in warm beige.  Close coat of good texture.  Relentlessly affectionate and obviously warming up to a call.
SIAMESE CHOCOLATE POINT ADULT - CC & BOB w/h.  1, DAMPIER'S KYMSING LUNA AMARA, F, 10mths 3wks.  Wedge medium in length with somewhat squared off muzzle.  Very nice even profile and quite a good chin, but bite overshot and untidy.  Eyes full in shape and a bit pale in colour.  Ears well set, large at base.   Strong muscular body, fine legs, tail balanced length.  Excellent conditioned coat contrasting with flawless ivory body, such beautiful colouring but as often happens with Chocolates, points were not matching, with small spectacles under the eyes and pale legs.  Difficult to examine as she became a bit obstreperous, but overall in my opinion she was not quite Championship material.
SIAMESE CREAM POINT ADULT - 1, CC & BOB, BOWLES-GOWDY'S MYLYNN MAQUIRE, M, 9mths.3wks.  Splendid boy, large and well formed for his youth.  Nicely balanced wedge with smooth lines.  Slight curve over brow in profile, chin outline deep enough but narrowing at the tip, bite fairly even.  Well placed generous ears, eyes quite widely spaced, medium blue with dilated pupils on this occasion.  Long neck and body which was slightly overweight, long slender legs and oval paws, tapering tail to balance.  Coat slightly long in texture but close lying, soft to the touch and pointed in delicate cream.  A sweet cat, purring throughout.  My nomination for Best Siamese Adult.
SIAMESE CARAMEL POINT ADULT - 1, CC & BOB, SIMPSON'S SHERMESE MERCEDES, F, 1yr.  Another sweetie, very elegant.  Even wedge of balanced proportions.  Good profile, chin a little recessed but bite was spot on.  Very good top of head and well spread large ears.  Oriental eyes of medium strong blue.  Long neck on a long firm body, long fine legs and excellent length of whip tail.  Close fine textured coat, a wee bit long, on lightly shaded body with a small pale patch on the lower back (but no matter I'm sure!)  I accepted her as caramel although she did appear to me more of a steely blue.
2, ELLAMS' MEESONA LUVINAMYST, F, 11mths.3wks.  Fine tapered wedge presenting a lovely shape front face, wide top with spaced out flared ears.  Good eye shape, medium blue with a keen expression.  Excellent profile and firm deep chin, rather surprisingly bite was noticeably undershot.  Long neck, long well nourished body.  Fine legs and feet, tail tapered but needing a bit more length.  Mask not fully coloured yet, other points well filled and contrasting pleasingly with her pale body.  Coat had excellent texture and condition.  A bit crotchety and full of harmless grumbles.
SIAMESE LILAC POINT NEUTER -  1, PC & BOB, FREEMAN'S CH KRISTIKATS SERAPHINA, FN, 2yrs.4mths.  Good looking lass, medium wedge and large wide based ears which could be better spaced, backs of the ears showed a lovely pinky hue.  Profile a little uneven over nose, deep firm chin.  She hated the bite being examined, the fleeting glimpse I was allowed looked all right.  Oriental eyes of brilliant blue.  Long strong body with well filled sides, fine legs, long whip tail.  Fine close coat of beautiful quality with soft lilac points.  She settled into a most delightful purry girl after we'd finished with the business of the bite!
SIAMESE TABBY POINT NEUTER - 1 & PC, ESTERFORD-HOWARD'S CH & PR MAPU MALACHITE, MN, 32 8, 1yr.9mths.  Lovely wedge with even lines and large wide spaced ears describing a perfect triangle.  Slight bump over the brow in profile, chin well aligned.  Middle incisors missing, rest of bite a little inconsistent.  Eyes of beautiful shape and brilliant blue, with a Siamese expression to melt the hardest heart.  Excellent length of hard muscular body and tapered tail, long strong legs.  Colour appeared to me fawn caramel, resulting in rather delicate markings but the pattern was present on all points, with plentiful tail rings.  Pleasant natured and calm to handle.
2, JAKEMAN'S SHERMESE THELONIOUS, MN, 32 2, 10mths.3wks.  Lovely boy with a perfectly tapered wedge, bump over brow, fine chin, fairly regular bite.  Excellent wide spaced ears, large but beautifully shaped eyes of deep intense colour.  Long body with well nourished sides.  Fully marked blue tabby face, leg bars turning fawn, long well ringed blue tail.  Fine close coat in excellent condition.
BOB to TOBIAS'S GR PR SHERMESE FUNANDGAMES, MN, 32 1, 2yrs.7mths.  Nobility personified, and he knew it!  He had the strongest claim in spite of a receding chin, the bite being unaffected.  Excellent poise and overall beauty.  Lovely wedge achieving that perfect triangle.  Haughty profile, large wide based ears with clear thumbmarks and good width between.  Expressive bright blue eyes with single eye ribbons.  Long neck, rather heavy body, but a lot of the neuters were looking well fed.  Long legs with plenty bars and oval feet with dark heels.  Close lying coat soft to the touch, long ringed tail a bit brindled towards the root.  The perfect gentleman to handle, he had to be my favourite Siamese of the day.
SIAMESE RED POINT NEUTER - CNH, BOND'S JOHPAS RED BREEZER, MN, 3yrs.6mths.  Handsome boy of good type who was simply too upset to be handled, and readily demonstrated his objections.  I was so sorry to deny him the opportunity of winning a PC but in the circumstances I was unable to assess him properly.  I understand that the vetting-in time overran and he had to be penned very hurriedly.  As will appear from other reports he did settle enough later on to allow himself to be judged in other classes.  My regrets to his family, apparently he is an angel at home!
I was advised during the afternoon that it is not strictly necessary to give critiques on miscellaneous classes, however I'm sure exhibitors would like some comments so I offer here the notes I made.
AC Oriental Senior Adult -  1, SMITH'S GR CH MYLYNN MISHKA, previously judged in the Grand class.
AOC Oriental Adult - 1, HAGGAR'S GR CH SUSPIRIA SIMPLY SOLARUS, M, 37r, 1yr.11mths.  Strong fawn boy, a bit jowly, strong noble head with good profile, firm chin and level bite.  Very good green eyes full of sweet expression.  Long firm solid body, long fine tail.  Colour a sound warm pale fawn.  Gorgeous temperament, didn't want to stop cuddling, had to be unhitched from my neck.  2, TITTERSALL'S MAMAMIA MISS DIOR, F. 48e, 1yr.5mths.  Very attractive bicolour, I should say tricolour as she was brightly marked in clear cut black red and white.  Excellent profile and graceful head, very good eye shape and colour.  White reached a peak on forehead, black spots on muzzle.  Firm balanced body with bold red and black patching, fine tail.  Unfortunately very cross!  3, SMITH'S FIROUSI FORYOUREYESONLY, M, 48 40d, 1yr.11mths.  Red bicolour with almost the minimum amount of white.  Rich red mantle and head markings, coat felt a little coarse.
AC Oriental Breeders Kitten - 1, WHISTON'S MIYOKO CHIQUITITA, F, 48 43s, 4mths.3wks.  Extremely attractive and well grown.  Super profile and chin line, bite a bit irregular.  Lovely spread of wing-like ears with deep cups and wide base.  Oriental eyes of quite a deep green which hopefully will brighten in tone.  Firm muscular young body, long fine ringed tail.  Nicely patched and spotted face, shaded silver mantle. An exquisite little person, very talkative.  2, PARTRIDGE'S NUTROSTAR DIAMOND BLACK, F, 37, 8mths.1wk.  Very clingy and tense. Excellent profile and depth of chin, even bite.  Lime green eyes round with tension.  Ears well placed and not overstated.  Long firm body, long legs and tail to balance.  Strong little feet clinging on to everything in sight.  Shining black coat paling slightly at the roots but toning, lovely texture, it was about her best feature.  Small for her age.  3, SPENDLOVE'S EASTPOINT MILLIELINDIT, F, 29, 3mths.1wk.  A tiny tot, and I feel she will be a small adult.  Dip on profile, little kitten pinch.  Large ears which she held resolutely upright. Green eyes with good depth of colour, rounded in shape.  Lithe fine little body, fine legs, long whip tail like a shoestring.  Rather dark Havana brown coat of silky texture and sound, but at the moment showing ghost striping on limbs and flanks, hope it will clear.  
AC Oriental Kitten Not Bred by Exhibitor - 1, ABBOTT'S TILDEN WHISPERINGCHENAZZ, F, 35, 6mths.3wks.  Very pretty and dainty, but I hope she grows on.  Even rather narrow wedge.  Beautiful profile, firm chin, bite a little confused but basically meeting all right.   Ears of good size and shape.  Eyes oriental shape, haws showing, she was a bit apprehensive.   Fine body and legs well covered with a fine soft white coat, sweet little oval feet.  Very good whippy tail to end with.
Foreign White/ Oriental Black/ Blue Neuter - 1, CLAYDEN'S GR PR SPELLCASTER BLACK BESS, FN, 37, 5yrs 1mth.  Imposing girl of good size, dip on profile, eyes rather pale green, gorgeous black coat.
Tabby/ Tortie Point Siamese or Balinese Adult - 1, RICHARDS' DEBICAT GRACIE-MAE, F, 32 1, 1yr 1wk.  Lovely girl with sweet expression in sapphire eyes, excellent ear placement, well marked points on a clear body.  As kind natured as she was beautiful.  2, SPENDLOVE'S EASTPOINT ROSIE POSIE, F, 32 8, 10mths.  Promising young beauty, immature looking as yet.  3, WOODHOUSE'S DORAL IMOGENE, F, 61e, 1yr 9mths.   4, ESTERFORD-HOWARD'S MAPU KOFI, M, 32 1, 10mths 2wks. Very handsome boy in a close contest.
AC Siamese or Balinese Adult Resident in Essex - 1, SIMPSON'S SHERMESE MERCEDES
AC Siamese or Balinese Debutante Kitten - 1, ROSS'S WILLOWSILK STAR LEO, M, 61nt, 6mths 2wks.  Well muscled boy, straight profile, eyes inclined to turn in, well marked face with heavily striped cheeks.  Good coat developing with nice tail plume.
Seal/ Chocolate Point Siamese or Balinese Kitten - 1, SIMPSON'S SHERMESE PRIME SUSPECT, M, 24, 7mths.  Elegant young man, rather round eyes, gorgeous open ears, athletic body ending in wonderful long whip.
AOC Siamese or Balinese Kitten -  1, ROSS'S WILLOWSILK TWINKLE TOES, F, 61pt, 6mths 2wks.  Pretty kitten with lightly broken points, lovely soft coat, developing good plume.
AC Siamese or Balinese Premier Neuter - 1, GREENO'S PR SHERMESE CARAMIA, FN, 24n, 4yrs 1mth.  Medium wedge, angular profile, widely spaced eyes of beautiful colour.  Body strong and balanced except for a rather short tail.
AC Siamese or Balinese Limit Neuter - 1, WRIGHT & DURRANT'S MEWZISHUN SAXOFAWN, MN, 24r, 9mths 3wks.  Elegant cat with long clean lines, oriental eyes with lively honest expression.  Points colour a good example of fawn.  I love this breeder's way with adapting musical terms!
AC Siamese or Balinese Debutante Neuter - 1, JAKEMAN'S SHERMESE THELONIOUS   2, FREEMAN'S CH KRISTIKATS SERAPHINA   3, MACKENZIE SPROAT'S ADATEAM CINNPHONY CHESTER
AC Siamese or Balinese Neuter Resident in Essex - 1, SIMPSON'S IMP GR PR SHERMESE TOO TOO PATOU, MN, 24a, 2yrs 1wk.  A most superior gentleman, Roman profile, excellent body length and long limbs, true blue points.   2, FREEMAN'S CH KRISTIKATS SERAPHINA   3, GREENO'S PR SHERMESE CARAMIA   4, BOND'S JOHPAS RED BREEZER, had another try with this fellow.  I liked him a lot but he still didn't like me and would not make the best of himself.
AC Siamese or Balinese Neuter Not Resident in Essex - 1, TOBIAS'S GR PR SHERMESE FUNANDGAMES

My thanks to exhibitors for the pleasure of judging your cats, they were all beautifully presented.

Mrs A-M Heath

Many thanks to Helen Hewitt and her team for the kind invitation to judge at this friendly, well organised show. Their hospitality and very welcome lunch were greatly appreciated, as was the fine Burmese entry. My special thanks to my steward Mr. Paul Lewis whose stamina and quiet patience were invaluable on such a busy day. Your gentle handling of the exhibits and professional attitude to the proceedings are the essence of an excellent steward Paul, and I hope I may have your assistance and company at some time in the future. I trust you enjoyed your day at the Essex as much as I did.

Chocolate Burmese kitten Female (one kitten entered) 1st and BOB: Brabner's ROSEAMBER FLIGHTY MISS (27b F 5/12/08) Scrumptious looking baby of four months with a great deal of potential. Gently rounded top of head with plenty of frownlines. Large well spaced ears with broad base and rounded tips and an alert forward tilt in profile. Short blunt wedge with a profusion of chewed whiskers and, at present, a teething pinch. Lustrous muddy yellow eyes, with fully rounded lower lids and correctly slanted upper lids, are well placed and have an endearing quizzical expression. In profile, good depth to skull and nicely rounded brow. Definite nose break with virtually straight nose, which has the slightest roll off at the leather. Chin is a trifle shallow at present and recedes just a fraction. Bite is correct. Firm elegant baby body with slim limbs and neat oval paws. Tail just balances at the shoulder and is correctly shaped finishing with a rounded paintbrush tip. Excellent clear warm pale chocolate toned coat, with silky texture and minimal contrast, lies very close. An extremely friendly little lady who purred all the time and was a joy to handle. She had a marvellous finish to her day by becoming Best Burmese Kitten in Show so many congratulations to her owner/breeder.

Chocolate Burmese kitten Male (one kitten entered) 1st:Green's BETTERJIM MILLO (27b M 1/11/08) Promising, somewhat shy little fellow of good weight for his five months. Top of head rounded in both directions. Correctly shaped medium size ears, which were very mobile due to his being unsure of the show proceedings with all the associated unusual sounds and a little blue girl in full call in the next pen. Well placed muddy chartreuse eyes, which are correctly shaped, having well rounded lower lids and slanted upper lids, could be a little larger for perfection. Hopefully they will grow with him as he matures. Medium wedge with blunt finish and distinct nose break. Nose appears a little long and is more obvious as this little lad has a teething pinch at present. Nose shows a slight bump and rolls off just a fraction at the leather. Chin of reasonable depth recedes a little. Bite is level and he has double canines in the upper jaw. Poor little chap must be in some discomfort as the permanent canines are almost as long as the milk ones. Well filled body is still very kittenish and so comforting to cuddle. His long limbs are elegant and strong and his paws are large and oval in shape. Silky textured warm toned chocolate coat shows minimal contrast to the mask and ears. His limbs show very feint ghost markings at present: the front ones a fraction more so than the back ones. However he has ample time for his coat to clear. He was very tense to begin with and a little shy, but he handled well and is basically a friendly chap who just needs a bit of practice with the show scene.

Lilac Burmese Kitten Female (one kitten entered) 1st and BOB Yardley's PAPAGENA YANA YARDLEY (27c F 1/9/08) Attractive well-grown girl of seven months and of medium weight for her size. Her top of head rounds well in both directions and her medium size ears are widely spaced and of the correct shape: broad at the base and rounded at the tips, and displaying a forward tilt when viewed in profile. Short wedge of good width finishes with a blunt muzzle. Her lustrous pale yellow toned charteuse eyes are well placed and correctly shaped, having a well rounded lower lid and upper lid slanting towards her nose and displaying a good Burmese expression. She has good depth to her skull and a distinct nose break with straight nose and virtually level firm chin. Her bite is level. Firm body with shapely limbs finishing with neat oval paws. Her tail just balances at her shoulder and is well shaped with paintbrush tip. Her clear, delicately toned coat is the palest dove grey with distinct pinkish caste. Very even and close lying. She is an extremely affectionate little lady and it was a great pleasure to handle and assess her.

Lilac Burmese kitten Male (one kitten entered) 1st: Moore's MOONGAZER MONSOON (27c M 1/11/08 Shy, energetic well grown boy of five months. Top of head a little flat a present although brow is rounded when viewed in profile. Medium size well spaced ears are correctly shaped and display a slight forward tilt. Muddy chartreuse eyes are a fraction deep set and could be larger for perfection. They are correctly shaped with rounded lower lid and slanted topline when he opened them fully. He has a very good depth of skull, medium blunt wedge and a distinct nose break with virtually straight nose and slightly receding chin. When checking the bite his dentition persuaded me to consult the duty vet, who confirmed an over shot jaw which was causing his lower canines to channel very closely into his upper gums. Hopefully this will right itself when he loses the upper milk canines and he matures towards adult size. He has a firm strong body with elegant limbs and large oval paws. His correctly shaped tail, which finishes with a rounded tip, just balances at his shoulder. His coat is a good soft even lilac shade with pinkish tone. Silky to the touch and very close fitting. He was very keen to investigate the show hall and when he settled down for assessment he was friendly and amiable and began to realise that being handled can be fun.

A/C Burmese Senior Adult (4 CATS PRESENT) 1ST: Moore's GR.CH. ANOKHI BOY GEORGE (27c M 6/3/07) Stunning two year old male in prime condition. Top of head rounded in both directions with medium size ears placed well apart, broad based, rounded at the tips and displaying an alert forward profile tilt. Short wide wedge with very good blunt muzzle. Huge lustrous yellow eyes: correctly shaped and set with slanted topline and very well rounded lower line creating an excellent Burmese expression. Good depth to skull, well defined break with straight short nose and slightly shallow virtually level chin. Bite is level. Weighty muscular body with well rounded chest, strong limbs and oval paws. Correctly shaped tail balances to his shoulder. Clear coat is a soft even lilac with pinkish caste, very closely fitted and satiny to the touch. This lovely boy has a happy gentle nature and is an exceptionally handsome example of the breed.

2: Hall's MINOTOSA BRONWEN (27d F 10/10/04) Medium size very attractive red girl in superb condition: Proportionate and well balanced as all Libran ladies should be. Neat correctly shaped ears placed well apart across a gently rounded top of head. Wide at the base and rounded at the tips they have a desired forward tilt when viewed in profile. Broad short wedge finishes with a good blunt muzzle. Large really lustrous chartreuse eyes are well defined with correct slant to upper lid and rounded lower lid. Skull has good depth and brow is rounded. Excellent nose break with straight nose and fractionally receding chin, which is somewhat shallow in depth. Her bite is level. She is deceptively weighty for her size and has a rounded chest, slender limbs and neat oval paws. Her tail, which is well shaped and has a paintbrush tip, balances her body. Her bright tangerine coat is clear, very short and close lying with a wonderful silky texture. She was very investigative and wriggly when out of the pen and she seemed to thoroughly enjoy al the attention we gave her.

3: Moore's DULCAMARA SOUSANNA (27 F 24/10/06) Fabulous brown queen of almost two and a half years with excellent proportionate appearance who I have met before, only on this occasion she chose to practice all the sear words she knows. Her top of head has good rounding in both directions and her medium to large ears, which are correctly shaped, are well spaced and have the correct forward profile tilt. Short wide wedge with excellent blunt muzzle and good depth of skull. Well defined break with straight nose, level chin and correct level bite. Her huge lustrous chartreuse eyes have a beautifully defined shape and, on the day, a wonderfully wicked expression due, in part, to her mood. Well-muscled body which exudes elegance. She has shapely limbs with neat oval paws and a correctly shaped tail finishing with a rounded paintbrush tip and balancing her lithe body. Immaculate coat for condition and texture. A rich deep brown with a healthy satin gloss, short and very close fitting. She is quite simply a stunning example and her wayward temperament let her down a little on the day.

4: Alger-Street's CH. TYPHA BUFFOON BILLY (27c M 27/5/02) Charming, affectionate and gentle lad of almost seven years. Powerful masculine head with pronounced jowls and an expression of deep thought. Top of head when viewed from the front is a little flat but is gently rounded when viewed in profile. His medium size correctly shaped ears are set well apart and have the desired forward tilt. Short blunt wedge is a fraction narrow from the jaw hinge towards the nose. He has very good skull depth and his brow is well rounded and tending somewhat to heaviness, which gives the impression that his eyes could be larger. His eyes are correctly shaped and well placed and the colour is a shade of very pale yellow. He has a well-defined nose break and his chin recedes slightly. Although he is lacking his small incisors his bite appears to be level: he had infinite patience for the dental examination. He has a weighty muscular body and large strong limbs with proportionate oval paws. His tail is short to balance and a trifle thick. His clear mid lilac toned coat is soft and silky in texture but had a touch of wooliness and an open appearance on the day. Presumably he is a working boy and still wearing his winter coat, which had perhaps thickened up for the recent bad weather conditions. His reserved gentlemanly personality is very endearing and he gave the impression of a studious professor with many volumes still to read.

A/C Burmese Junior Adult (7 cats present) 1: Moore's DULCAMARA PETRONELLA (27c F 4/7/08) Impressive, medium size lilac girl just into the adult classes and the daughter of two exhibits in the previous class. Proportionate and well balanced she exudes quality. Her top of head is rounded in both directions and her medium size correctly shaped ears are set well apart. Her short wide wedge finishes with a good blunt muzzle. She has very good skull depth, an excellent nose break with straight nose and level chin. Her bite is level. Her large lustrous chartreuse eyes are very expressive and are correctly shaped with slanting top lid and well-rounded lower lid. Her body is weighty and mature for her young age and her limbs are slim and elegance with neat oval paws. Her well-shaped tail, which finishes with a paintbrush tip, balances her body. Her pale even toned lilac coat is a clear and has a distinct pinkish caste. It is short and lies very close and is very silky to the touch. She is a superb example of the breed and congratulations are due as she was awarded her first CC today.

2: Fortescue's BLOOMERS BELCHAMP BARON (27d M 9/4/08) Strong substantial balanced young red lad of almost a year and shown in superb condition. Topline rounds well in both directions and his well-shaped ears are placed well apart on his broad head. They are wide at the base and have neat rounded tips and, in profile, a distinct forward tilt. His short wide wedge has a good blunt appearance to the muzzle. His skull has excellent depth and his nose break is well defined with a straight nose and virtually level chin. His bite is level. His exceptionally large lustrous eyes are well shaped with a deeply curved lower line and slanted topline and are chartreuse in colour. His expression is captivating and very typically Burmese. His body is weight and well muscled with strong rounded chest, straight back and proud stance displaying his slightly longer hind legs. His limbs are strong and masculine and finish with large oval paws. His correctly shaped tail balances his body at the shoulder. His coat is a rich glossy tangerine: short and very close fitting. He has two feint broken necklaces and small shadowy smudges on his front legs. He is sturdy, very masculine and extremely amiable to handle and converse with: a lovely and plainly much loved example of a Burmese male.

3: Yardley's PAPGENA SWEET CICELY (27 F 9/9/07) Beautifully firm and weighty brown queen of just over one and a half years in splendid condition and proportionate balanced appearance. Top of head is gently rounded, as is her brow when viewed in profile. Neat ears of correct shape spaced well apart and displaying an alert forward tilt. Short wide wedge tapers to an excellent blunt muzzle. Good depth to skull, defined nose break with straight nose and firm chin, which recedes just a fraction. Level bite. Well filled elegant body has well rounded chest, shapely limbs and neat oval paws. Her well-shaped tail finishes with a rounded paintbrush tip and amply balances her body. Her clear rich seal brown coat is very short and close lying and has a superb glossy appearance and silky texture. She has a reserved temperament and is not especially demonstrative. A quiet, gentle girl who is basically very friendly and was easy to handle and assess.

The following exhibits were judged numerically with their pen numbers.

Pen 219: Power's MAINMAN KISS OF INDIA (27 F 26/5/08) Compact, rather apprehensive brown girl just into the adult classes. Proportionate and balanced and shown in superb condition. Gently rounded top of head between well placed medium to large ears of correct shape, being broad at the base and having rounded tips, the correct profile tilt and continuing the contours of her face when viewed from the front. Very good skull depth and well rounded brow. Short wedge and good blunt muzzle displaying a profusion of chewed whiskers, which show how well loved she by her feline companions. Straight short nose and virtually level firm chin. Correct level bite. Very large and lustrous correctly shaped eyes are chartreuse in colour and beautifully defined with fully rounded lower line and topline slanting towards her nose. She tended to round them a little with apprehension but when she settled down her expression was everything a good Burmese expression should be. Muscular feminine body feeling very firm and supported by elegant limbs finishing with neat oval paws. Correctly shaped tail with rounded tip balances to the shoulder. She has a tiny, almost imperceptible indentation to the second to last vertebrae. I imagine this could well integrate and disappear as she matures and mention it solely for accuracy. Very short close fitting silky textured coat with deep seal still developing, and at present her fur is lighter towards the roots. A shy sweet tempered girl who shows great promise and endeared herself to both myself and my steward will her purring and constant bread kneading.

Pen 220 Rae's RAEBURASI MOPANI (27 F 8/12/07 Another very attractive brown queen: medium sized, deceptively weighty and very well muscled and in tip top condition. Top of head is nicely rounded in both directions and neat ears are well spaced and correctly shaped with broad base and rounded tips and a correct profile tilt. Outer edge of her face contours smoothly with the outer edge of her ears. Excellent depth of skull and short wedge tapering to a good blunt muzzle and with good width at jaw hinge. Straight nose and firm virtually level chin. Bite is correct. Large lustrous eyes, with correct slant to topline and rounded lower line, are most definitely on the yellow end of the chartreuse colour spectrum. Very good muscle tone to her body: rounded chest and elegant limbs with neat oval paws. Correctly shaped tail just balances her body and she held it very tense when we handled her. Her clear coat is a rich seal brown and is ultra short, close lying and glossy with a silky texture to the touch. She was a little agitated and consequently her already super expression was intensified to excellent effect.

Pen 222 Bryan's BRYADAJHAY ALL THAT JAZZ (27a F 1/9/07) Weighty proportionate blue queen looking very mature for her nineteen months, shown in excellent condition and displaying wonderful Burmese expression. Gently rounded top of head with medium size ears set well apart and correctly shaped with good wide base and rounded tips and tilted slightly forward. Short wide blunt wedge with defined break, straight nose and slightly receding chin. Bite is level. Lustrous well shaped eyes are the greener shade of chartreuse. Well-rounded lower line and slanted topline serve to enhance her wonderful expression. Well-toned body with elegant limbs, oval paws and correctly shaped tail which finishes with a paintbrush tip and balances to her shoulder. Mid blue clear coat has fair silvering to the rounded areas. Short and silky in texture it lies very close. Unfortunately she was very tense throughout the proceedings and displayed considerable attitude even when inside her pen.

Pen 225 Kennard's CLARKESFIELD UPTOWNGIRL (27b F 30/5/08) Dainty young chocolate girl of just ten months and still very kittenish. Another exhibit shown in superb condition. Her top of head rounds nicely in both directions and her large ears are placed well apart and correctly shaped, being broad based and having rounded tips and a correct profile tilt. Hopefully she will mature into them, as they appear somewhat large on her dainty head. Short blunt wedge with good depth to skull, a defined nose break, short straight nose and virtually level chin. Correct, level bite. Well shaped and set yellowish chartreuse eyes with rounded lower line and slanted topline. Petite muscular body, slim limbs and neat oval paws. Her tail, which balances, is correctly shaped finishing with a rounded paintbrush tip. Clear pale chocolate coat is warm toned, silky and close lying. A very happy, friendly little sweetheart who has plenty of time on her side to achieve her potential.

A/C Burmese Limit Adult (three cats entered) 1: Kemp's OAKENSHIELD ANNA KARENINA (27d F 14/4/08) Well-grown, eye catching red girl of almost one year and showing a great deal of potential. Gently rounded top of head. Rounded tips to medium size ears, which are broad at the base and well placed. Short blunt wedge is slightly narrow at the jaw hinge at present due in part, I imagine, to lack of maturity. Well-defined break and short nose with the slightest roll off at the leather. Good depth to skull and brow is a trifle flat at present. Chin recedes very slightly and bite is level. Pale yellowish chartreuse eyes are well shaped and set with good topline slant and well rounded-lower line. Already weighty and well muscled for her age she has slim limbs and neat oval paws. Her tail, which is correctly shaped with rounded tip balances to her shoulder. Clear pale tangerine coat is beautifully silky in texture and close lying with a healthy sheen. She was a little bossy but is basically a friendly girl who has ample time to mature and overcome her stage nerves.

2: Kennard's CLARKESFIELD OPALROSE (27c F 5/7/07) Appropriately named very pretty girl who is a smallish and dainty. Balanced and proportionate and shown in excellent condition. Top of head is gently rounded and brow is a trifle flat when viewed in profile. Skull has adequate depth. Medium size ears are placed well apart and are well shaped, having broad base and rounded tips and an alert forward tilt. Short blunt wedge with straight nose and very slight roll off at the leather. Chin recedes a fraction and her bite is level. Nicely shaped lustrous chartreuse eyes are well set with rounded lower lids and slanted top lids: she tended to round them as she was somewhat apprehensive. When relaxed she has a super expression. Compact body with slim legs and delicate oval paws. Her tail balances to her shoulder and is well shapes with a rounded tip. Her clear pale dove grey coat is close fitting and silky in texture. There is a distinct pinkish tone which gives the base colour a gentle warmth. She is a sweet natured girl whose apprehension got the better of her, but she was easy to handle and assess.

3: Green's BETTERJIM FANCY FUDGE (27b F 4/4/07) Another smallish balanced queen with a lovely Burmese expression and shown in excellent, well muscled condition. Gently rounded top of head with neat ears placed well apart and correctly shaped with rounded tips and broad base and, in profile, an alert forward tilt. Skull of good depth and brow a trifle flat. Short wedge with good blunt muzzle, defined break, short straight nose and level chin. Correct, level bite. Her well shaped chartreuse eyes could be a little larger for perfection. They are nicely shaped with deeply curved lower line and slanted topline and she has a beautifully typical expression. Compact body is deceptively weighty and her chest is distinctly rounded. Elegant limbs with neat oval paws. Her proportionate tail finishes with a paintbrush tip and balances her body. Mid tone warm chocolate coat is silky to the touch. On the day it was very much paler towards the roots and this let her down a little. In every other respect she is a super little queen: so happy to be at the show and with oodles of the desired Burmese quality: friendliness.

Blue/Lilac Burmese Adult (one cat entered) 1: Kennard's CLARKESFIELD OPALROSE

Red/Cream Burmese Adult (one cat entered) 1: Hall's CH.MINOTOSA BRONWEN

A/C Burmese Adult Resident In Essex (ONE CAT ENTERED) 1: Bryan's BRYADAJHAY ALL THAT JAZZ

A/C Burmese Kitten 6 - 9 Months (three kittens present)

A very strong class of three beautiful kittens made the selection very tricky.

1: Jeffrey's ISSAMEE KATSPELL SUPERNOVA (27d M 25/8/08) Super well-grown red lad, very promising and most impressive for his seven months. Top of head rounds nicely in both directions and his neat, well shaped ears are placed well apart. Ears are broad at the base and tips are rounded and he holds them with a distinct forward tilt. His short wide wedge tapers to a good blunt finish and he has good depth to his skull, a defined break with short nose and virtually level firm chin. Lustrous muddy yellowish chartreuse eyes are large and well placed. Beautifully defined shape with well rounded lower lid and slanted upper lid. He tended to open them wide in the way that Burmese kittens do which made him look particularly endearing. Very firm well filled body with rounded chest and strong masculine limbs and large oval paws. His tail is proportionate with his large body and ends with a good rounded tip. His sparkling short coat is a particularly rich shade of tangerine He has two very feint broken necklaces and no undesirable markings. The coat is soft and silky to the touch and gleams with health. A very friendly, happy young man: so very important on the show bench. Altogether a lovely example of a Burmese male whose good looks will no doubt break a few ladies' hearts at some stage.

2: Moore's DULCAMARA ANNABELINDA (27 F 24/7/08) Well grown brown girl of excellent type now maturing well and with the promise of becoming a super adult. Top of head well rounded in both directions with medium size well placed ears of correct shape, having broad base and rounded tips and an alert profile tilt. Short wedge is still a little narrow with the signs of a teething pinch still in evidence. Good width at jaw hinge. Skull is deep and she has a fair nose break with short nose, which has the slightest roll off at the leather. A firm slightly shallow level chin and a correct level bite. Her wonderful large yellow chartreuse eyes are widely spaced and correctly shaped with fully rounded lower lids and slanted upper lids giving her a super expression. Her body has good firm muscle tone and she has elegant limbs and neat feminine oval paws. Her tail balances to the shoulder and is proportionately shaped, finishing with a rounded paintbrush tip. Rich clear seal brown coat is glossy and very close fitting with a soft silky texture. On the day she had a tiny bare area on her right back leg - perhaps the result of rough play with her feline companions. She has a superb relaxed temperament and was a joy to handle. Very unlucky to meet the red kitten in this class.

3: Yardley's PAPAGENA YANA YARDLEY

A/C Burmese Ch. Neuter (one cat entered) 1: Ellis' PR. MAINMAN SMARTYPANTS (27c M 8/7/07) Medium size lilac lad of well balanced appearance and shown in tip top condition.

Weighty muscular body with well rounded strong chest and matching limbs with oval paws. His tail, which balances at his shoulder is proportionate and has a rounded tip. His clear soft dove grey coat had a slight bluish tone in the hall lighting. It has a silky texture and is short and very close lying. He is an extremely friendly lad and enjoyed all the attention and handled so well. A wonderful sofa companion and the perfect ambassador for Burmese neuter boys.

A/C Burmese Senior Neuter (one cat entered) 1: Ellis' IMP.GR.CH. MAINMAN APOLLO (27b MN 21/5/04) Magnificent five year well-know neuter boy in splendid condition. Large and substantial with a commanding balanced appearance. Top of head well rounded in both directions with medium size neat ears placed well apart and with rounded tips and broad base. He is such an alert chap and holds them with the desired forward tilt. His short wide wedge finishes with a very blunt muzzle with straight nose, which has the subtlest roll off at the leather. Firm, level chin and correct bite. His depth of skull is impressive. His large, sparkling, yellow tone chartreuse eyes have beautifully defined shape with rounded lower line and slanted topline . His gaze is such that he is difficult to ignore. His weighty body has excellent muscle tone, rounded chest and strong straight back. His strong limbs finish with proportionate oval paws and the back legs are slightly longer than the front legs, which afford him the correct stance for the breed. His tail, with rounded tip, very nearly balances his large frame and is just a fraction short of his shoulder but in proportion with his body. His chocolate coat is a warm mid tone and he has minimal facial contrast. Glossy and very close fitting it has a soft silky texture. A very happy cuddlesome fellow: gorgeous in every way.

A/C Burmese Novice Neuter (two cats entered) 1: Simmons' KYMIAN ULRICA (27h FN 2/2/08) Scrumptious, chocolate tortie girl with a fabulous Burmese expression and shown in tip top condition. Good rounding to top of head in both directions with near very well spaced ears of correct shape. Broad at the base and rounded at the tips she holds them with a correct forward tilt. Beautifully short wedge with excellent width at the jaw hinge and a very blunt muzzle. Very good depth too skull. Defined break with short straight nose and completely level firm chin. Correct, level bite. Very expressive large sparkling chartreuse eyes, the tone of which is very much towards the yellow end of the spectrum. Set well apart and having fully rounded lower line and slanted topline - her expression is just superb. Compact and weighty she is an elegant girl with limbs to match and neat oval paws. Her correctly shaped tail balances and finishes with a rounded tip. Her coat is silky soft in texture and close fitting. The mingling of chocolate tones with red is most attractive especially the bright tangerine which sparkles in the light. A delightful amiable girl who is a beautiful example of a Burmese female. Congratulations to her owner on what I imagine is this young girl's first PC.

2: Rae's RAEBURASI SUGARBABE (27b FN 4/5/05) Compact chocolate girl of four years in splendid condition.

It is silky in texture, lies well and she has minimal contrast between the body and her head. A very happy girl who enjoys the show scene. She is aptly named and is a pleasure to handle. Unlucky to meet the winner on the day.

Tortie Burmese Neuter (two cats entered) Both exhibits are super girls and it was a hairs-breath between them.
1: Jeffrey's CH. & GR.PR. KATSPELL DISORGANISER (27e FN 4/11/98)It is hard to believe this lovely girl is already nearly ten and a half years old. It seems only yesterday that she was busily disorganising her show pen as a kitten. She is an outstanding example of a brown tortie and the living proof that Burmese can just get better and better as they mature. Top of head is well rounded in both directions and her neat ears are well shaped, having broad base and rounded tips, and set wide apart and displaying a forward profile tilt. Her short very blunt wedge and deep skull, together with a defined break, straight nose and virtually level firm chin are together impressive. Her bite is correct. She has large lustrous beautifully defined eyes with fully rounded lower line and slanted topline giving her a fabulous expression. They are now veering towards the green end of the chartreuse spectrum as is usual for her age. Her body is firm and elegant and her limbs proportionately slim with neat oval paws. Her tail balances and ends with a rounded tip. Her well mingled, close lying short coat is silky in texture. Sparkling tangerine and shades of red are mixed with rich seal brown and particularly endearing is the fact that she was blessed with one pale red hind leg as a gift from her sire. Such a pretty, happy and affectionate girl - a credit to her owner/breeder.

2: Jordan's PR. KATSPELL PYEWACKET (27h FN 15/5/96) Another beautiful girl from the same breeder as the winner. At thirteen years she is the daughter of two outstanding Burmese and her quality just shines. A medium size well balanced girl of substance she was shown in superb condition. Her top of head is well rounded in both directions and her neat ears well spaced. Correctly shaped and with the desired forward profile tilt they are broad at the base and rounded at the tips. She has a medium blunt wedge with defined break, the slightest hint of a bump on her nose and a fractional roll off at the leather. Excellent depth to her skull and her bite is level. Her eyes are diluted green toned chartreuse as is usual in an older Burmese. They are large, lustrous and well spaced having a rounded lower lid and slanted upper lid. She has a typical excellent Burmese expression similar to the winner. Her body is well muscled and she has a rounded chest and straight back, firm elegant limbs and neat oval paws. She has excellent length to her well shaped tail which finishes with a rounded tip. Her coat is free of undesirable markings and is warm toned chocolate mingled with shades of red. It is medium in length and very close fitting and silky in texture. A wonderful example of the breed she purred all the time we handled her and she is a credit to both her owner and her breeder - a delightful girl.

A/C Burmese Neuter Not Resident In Essex (three cats entered)

An extremely difficult class as all three entries are outstanding examples of the breed and I needed three first prizes.

1: Lewis' IMASTAR LADY MADONNA (27 FN 12/7/06) The lady of the class and what a lady she is! Medium sized and well balanced and deceptively heavy she has the elusive show "presence" which says, "Look at me as I am special". Top of head rounded well in both directions with medium size correctly shaped ears set well apart. Broad based and rounded at the tips she holds them with an alert forward tilt. Her short wide wedge tapers to a good blunt finish and she has very good skull depth and a well-defined break with straight nose and virtually level chin. Her bite is correct. Her large chartreuse eyes which are set well apart have a wonderful expression and are correctly shaped, having a well defined rounded lower line and slanted topline. Her compact strong body is all elegance, her limbs slim and her paws neat and oval in shape. Her tail is proportionate to her body: well shaped and with a rounded tip. It balances at her shoulder. Her clear close fitting coat is a rich deep seal brown and extremely silky to the touch with a glossy sheen. A friendly gentle girl who was easy to handle and assess. In the company of Burmese royalty she held her own and is a super example of a Burmese female.

2: Timberlake's UK & IMP GR.PR. SYKRIS CHEZACER (27 MN 27.7.01) Well-known magnificent Burmese who I have always admired but never officially handled - I have now! If I remember correctly he was the first Burmese to gain the Imperial title and how very worthy he is. Large and impressively built he is all quality and he puts me in mind of days gone by when it was nothing to have over twenty Brown Burmese in the open class- and we often did - but to win was something really special. He would undoubtedly have been such a winner as he is a special cat. His top of head is gently rounded in both directions and his neat well-shaped ears are well spaced and have the correct profile tilt. They are broad based and have rounded tips. His short wedge has excellent width particularly at the jaw hinge and finishes with a good blunt muzzle. He has good depth of skull, a well-defined break, straight nose and firm chin of medium depth and virtually level. His bite is correct. He has large sparkling eyes which are chartreuse veering a little towards the greener tone of the spectrum, and consistent with his maturity. Beautifully defined in shape with fully rounded lower line and slanted topline giving him a wonderful; expression. His body is firm and well muscled and his strong limbs are elegant with large neat oval paws. His well- shaped tail balances his body and has a rounded tip. His rich seal brown coat is so satiny that one's hand just glides over it. Very short and close-lying it gleams. It was a privilege to handle this beautiful gentle boy. He is simply sensational and the ultimate ambassador for Brown Burmese Boys,

3: Simpson's PR. PAPGENA XANDER (27b MN 9/9/07) An eye catching young chocolate lad I have met before. He was a super kitten and is maturing beautifully. It was the end of the day when we met and he was a little tense and so, splitting hairs, his usual good humour let him down a little. Having said that he is a gorgeous, weighty young chap with excellent Burmese type and a wonderful expression and, as always, shown in superb condition. His top of head is well rounded in both directions and his neat ears are placed well apart, broad based and with rounded tips. He holds them with an alert profile tilt. His short blunt wedge has excellent width and he has good depth of skull. Well-defined break with fractional bump on his short nose and a very slight roll off at the leather. His medium firm chin is level as is his bite. His chartreuse eyes are large and set well apart. They have rounded lower lids and slanted topline. His weighty body is very well muscled and he has a rounded chest and straight back. His strong limbs are elegant and his largish paws are oval in shape. His tail is excellent for length and shape and finishes with a rounded tip. His warm toned chocolate coat is still evening out and in keeping with his youth. At present he has developed a contrast in whereby his head and tail are rather darker than his body and legs. As a kitten his colour was very even and, in the manner of all things Burmese, this will hopefully return upon full maturity. The coat is free of any undesirable markings and silky in texture and close fitting with a healthy sheen. He is a super very gentle boy who was just a trifle edgy at the end of a busy day and he really wanted to go home instead of being taken in and out of his pen for the umpteenth time. My apologies to the dear fellow - I hope he was rewarded with a good meal when he reached home.

My thanks to all the exhibitors who entered their wonderful Burmese for me assess. It is a great joy to be able to handle so many excellent examples of this amazing breed.

Mrs S Lorton-Hobbs

My thanks to Helen and crew for the invitation back again, my hard working and very capable steward was Sandie Holloway who I can recommend any time!

BSH BLACK ADULT
1ST (CCN/A) RISCHLING’S ADATESH HENDRIX 10MTHS. Unfortunately he is at present totally out of balance and is rather small and slender boned for his age. His head shape as shown to his owner isn’t really rounded, its more oval. He has fair width across the top between medium ears. His eyes are small and not fully rounded, pale gold and have a green rim around the pupil. His nose is a tad long, bite is untidy sadly and his chin recedes. The cheeks needs more fullness too. He needs to develop more muscle tone for a brit even at this age. His coat is short but lays rather flat and is far too soft and rather silky, fairly sound to the roots. His tail is short for balance. We have to judge of course on the day but I would have my doubts as to whether he will ever develop to look more like a British I am afraid, as discussed with his owner when she approached me and was able to see what I meant. So sorry.

BOB DENNY’S GR CH CHESLO EATON CASPER 1YR 9MTHS. STUNNING!

COLOURPOINTED EXC CINNAMON & FAWN KITTEN

1ST & BOB BLACK&FULLER’S AVELLOSO BOUNTY (40/7) 8MTHS           Quite a well grown lad overall with nice substance and weight. His head could be more rounded, fairly good width between medium ears set well apart. Fairly short nose, level bite and chin just slopes back a little. Cheeks quite well developed. Round eyes of a pleasing blue tone. Slightly slender boned really for  a boy, currently standing a tad long and tall frames with large paws. His coat is nice and dense and reasonably short, just slightly longer down the spine line at present. Tail is broad at base tapering to a pointy end though and heavily ringed. His points are a warm cream, nice mask shape, legs paler as is usual in this colour. Mostly clear of tonal shading on his cream white body so has a good contrast.

BROWN SPOTTED NEUTER
1ST PC&BOB MORRIS’ GR PR VINDELIS IN THE SPOTLIGHT  2YRS 7MTHS. Large framed lad of nice type and body conformation. Round head shape with good width between fairly large ears a tad flattened on the top of his head though. Short nose and level bite but his chin recedes a little, cheeks nicely filled. Broad chest and flanks. Quite good bone. Very short dense crisp coat, grey at the roots, black pattern but brindled quite heavily. Spots separated quite well and spine line is a little elongated. Nice thumbprints and spotty tummy. His tail is slightly short with just 1 or 2 rings. The ground is a warm copper brown but with the brindling and the grey roots the contrast is lost a little at the moment.

AOC SPOTTED NEUTER
1ST (PC&BOB N/A) GEARD’S PR VINDELIS SATIN LILY (30a) 2yrs 4mths. This lass has seriously had enough, she didn’t really want to come out and was very angry. I did see her in her pen and am afraid her spots have rather depleted now and she is rather a dark slate blue. I wasn’t able to assess anything else as she actually went for my steward and meant it but Sandie was too quick for her.

AC ARISTOCRAT
1ST SIDEY’S LATCHCATS EYE CANDY (16) Nicely typed lass, cobby and balanced with neat ears set well apart, but a tad flat on top of head. Short dense coat, but soft and silvered. Round eyes a tad bold, light gold. Tail a fraction short.

3rd no 2nd. DOBSON’S LEAHBLUES BOBBYMOOR (40/4) 5YRS Big lad, but lacked british type and is clearly overshot. He lacked show preparation, was very grubby and had bad stud tail.

AC JUNIOR ADULT
1ST DENNY’S GR CH CHELSO EATON CASPER
2ND SIDEY’S LATCHCATS GORGEOUS GEORGE (16) 1 YR 11MTHS. Lovely type, good size and bone. Very dense short coat a lovely shade too. Good eye colour. Promising lad.
3rd.RUTHERFORD’S ANIMOSO PIANINO (40/4) Ok type, dark points though much too blue toned. Lovely mask shape. Crisp coat.

AC KITTEN NOT BRED BY EXH
1ST MILES’ MARDENKA MUSICAL CHAIRS (16) 7MTHS. Cracking baby who I gather got Best BSH Kitten and well deserved too.  Super type and balance, cobby body lovely shade of blue coat, kittenish still though. Lovely expressive eyes. Pretty baby!

2nd. WILLIS’FELESAMOR TAMERINE-HUNNY (31f) 7mths.  A lovely looking well grown lad of very good bone and substance. Large apple head shape with plenty of width across his top of head between neat ears of good set.  Full cheeks. Large round eyes of a super orange colour, but marginally deep set. Level bite with good depth to his chin.Thick fully coloured  tail to base, tapers to a rounded tip, typically hot rings evident.  He is short limbed with stocky appearance, broad chest and large rounded paws. His white areas are pristine in colour and the demarcation of the coloured areas to white is quite well defined all over. He has a full white collar, a nice inverted white blaize on his face, white chest and some under his belly with mostly white legs, some colour on his rear legs. All in all I would say he is just over 1.3rd white to colour so well within the ratios required.His coat is a lovely shade of cream, short and dense but marginally soft. Unfortunately he is extremely unsound, indeed almost white at the roots which is a witholding fault. His coat is also banded sadly, some ghost spotting evident which I hope would clear as he matures. A well presented lad with very few scattered white hairs so It is a a great pity indeed about the almost white undercoat and is unusual to see in most bi-colours I have judged; I was  therefore glad of the opportunity to have a long chat with the owner after judging about the coat, as its very unsoundness is quite worrying.

AC JUNIOR NEUTER
1ST BOOTH’S CH KOLINGA COUGAR 1YR 9MTHS. Massive boned lad judge don many occasions now. Love him just would prefer large eyes!
2nd ALLEN’S CINCCI ENRIQUE (40/4) Well grown lad of good size. Head fairly round, neat eras, round but almost grey eyes. Short soft dense coat. Points good match a little better, sandy tail.

AC NEUTER NOT RESIDENT IN ESSEX
1ST GILLOTT’S AMAZOLOU EDNA MODE 79s36e 2yrs. FN Solid rectangular body she supported by strong boned medium length legs and rounded paws. Well prepared lass, super coat, stands well away and nice curls evident just a fraction straight down her back. Lovely whiskers and eye brows! Super Selkirk type.

2nd HARRISON’S PR DIWALI KATALINA (28) 3yrs 4mths  FN Lovely balanced blue-cream with super mingling. I now recall judging her over the last few years and she has really matured nicely, in fact very typical of a proper British!

CHOCOLATE.BROWN/BURMESE ADULT
I wished I had more than 1 1st in this class-Thanks, a pleasure to judge!

1ST MOONEY& REID’S GR CH MAINMAN KISSABLE (27b) 7rs 10mths. This cat has it all! Absolutely excellent Burmese type. I see I have not judged her for well over a year and am delighted to have the honour of judging her again. She is medium bodied of very deceptive weight, nicely rounded chest and still shows good muscle tone for her age too, tail is a good shape, to balance with paintbrush tip. Elegant slender legs with neat oval paws. Her wedge is beautifully balanced, short very deep and wide at the cheeks, level gums and medium depth to level chin. Her broad based ears of correct size and shape are set wide apart a gently rounded brow which leads in profile to a short straight nose with a distinctive break. Her coat is beautiful, it is short, glossy, lays close has a lovely satin like feel to it and is a warm chocolate, just a fraction darker down her back otherwise even in tone. Her eyes are amazing! Large full and lustrous pale yellow chartreuse that are set wide apart with a super shape being full and rounded lower line, top line gently slants to the nose. I have since heard she went on to win the BOV Burmese, well done she is stunning!

2nd COLE’S CH MOLYNMEUX ADORABLE 2ys 7mths another gorgeous lady of style and also says “I am a Burmese” Excellent weight and balance to her medium sized body with good rounding to chest, elegant slender legs with dainty oval paws. Her tail is marginally fine in shape and slightly short to balance. Nice rounding to brow between medium gently forward tilting ears that are set wide apart but a fraction generous in size. Excellent short blunt wedge of very good width and overall depth, super balanced head!  Level bite and firm level chin.  Excellent break to her short straight nose. Warm chocolate coat, possibly some seasonal tonal changes to her head and shoulders which I forgave her for. Excellent chartreuse eyes for shape and set, full and lustrous, and set wide apart, typical wicked Burmese expression, just loved it! Smudge to thighs and 1 feint necklace. Her coat length and texture itself is beautifully sleek and short. A lovely girl indeed.

EXTRA 2ND TWIGGE’S CH ROSSIKHAN SWEETBABY JAMES (27) 2yrs 4 days.
What a lovely personality this male entire cat has, dead soppy! Medium well developed body of very deceptive weight with good rounding to chest, proportionate shapely legs and a well shaped tail to balance. Medium sized gently forward tilting ears with the outer line following the line of the wedge and are set well apart aside a very gently rounded brow. In profile the nose is short and straight with an excellent break. Bite is level with level medium depth chin. Lovely short wide wedge with very good overall depth too, just a fraction square at the muzzle. Super coat that is short, lays close, rich seal brown and shining with health. Just a feint smudge to his thighs. Yellow chartreuse eyes have the desired shape with a gently rounded topline slanting towards his nose and a fuller more rounded lower lid set well apart giving the typical Burmese expression. I see he got the Grand today, many congratulations and that was one of my favourite James Taylor tracks!

3rd. GREEN’S BETTERJIM FANCY FUDGE (27b) 2yrs 1mth. Happy lass who purred all the time enjoying her cuddles. Balanced and of good size and weight for her frame, firm medium body of good muscle tone with elegant dainty legs and neat spoon-shaped paws with a well shaped tail that just about balanced. Lovely short blunt wedge also of good depth and width at the cheeks. Correct ears for set and width apart of gentle forward tilt and broad at base. Level bite and chin. Very good break in profile to her short straight nose. Fractionally long coat of good texture and lays well but is  fraction uneven in tone ands shows some minor brindling, a darker toned chocolate but glossy and shining with health. Full and lustrous chartreuse eyes set wide apart, fully rounded lower line and topline has gentle slant to nose this giving rise to a good Burmese expression.

AC BURMESE ADULT NOT RESIDENT IN ESSEX
Another super class and yet again I wished I had 2 1sts!
1ST. BONE’S CH SYKRIS DEJA VEUX (27c) 2yrs 8mths. Well I see I have not judged this gorgeous lady for some time, she has matured well, I just adore her look and she screams Burmese for me! Well grown and lithe medium deceptively weighty body with good rounding to chest and straight back, elegant slender limbs support her with neat oval paws and her tail is a lovely shape, fractionally short to balance.  Her head forms a superb short blunt wedge that is both wide at the cheek and has superb depth from top of head to lower jaw. She has a gently rounded brow between correct gently forward tilting ears, set wide apart and are broad at base, balanced in size to the head. Short straight nose with very good break in profile. Level bite and good depth to her level chin. Her coat is stunning for colour and texture! Pale even dove grey and one can see that slight pinkish cast even in this light, which is short fine and lays really well, also shining with health. Her eyes are beautiful! Large, full, lustrous, super shape and set wide apart. She just has a slight seasonal change of tone to her coat on her back. Superb type!

2nd MOONEY&REIDS GR CH MAINMAN KISSABLE

EXTRA 2ND KENNARD’S CLARKESFIELD OPALROSE  (27c) 1yr 9mths. A medium sized lass who is a quite a good weight and shows good rounding to her chest with a straight back, shapely elegant legs and small oval paws. The tail is good shape to balance. Super wedge that is short, tapering to a blunt finish and has good width at the cheeks and overall depth from top of head to lower jaw. Lovely width across a gently rounded brow between medium ears that are broad at base and gently tilt forward. At the muzzle she has a marginal pinch; the bite is level but her chin although just about medium in depth it just recedes slightly.  The nose is short and straight with a fairly good break.  Super coat for colour! Pale even dove grey that displays a slight pinkish hue, lays close and is short, fine and satin like in texture.

3rd. HALL’S CH MINOTOSA BRONWEN (27d) 4yrs 6mths. Large well built lady of very good weight and a lithe muscular body, rounded chest and straight back to her medium body with elegant shapely legs and oval paws. Tail of good shape that balances. Her head forms a short blunt wedge of very good width and overall depth with well set ears of good shape and tilt gently forward sitting  aside a gently rounded brow. Her nose is short with a quite a good break in profile, level bite but her chin recedes.  Short reasonably fine coat of pleasing texture that is a good vivid tangerine, 2 necklaces evident and she is a fraction uneven on her sides.  Her eyes are large, the topline slants very straight to the nose, the lower is fully rounded and I feel they are marginally deep set, pale chartreuse in colour and are set wide apart.

AC BURMESE LIMIT KITTEN
1ST BRABNER’S ROSEAMBUR FLIGHTY MISS (27b) 4mths. Rather a dainty baby of average weight for her size, I would refer her little heaver. Dainty slender limbs with small oval paws, tail is a trifle thin overall and is short to balance. The brow is very gently rounded between large gently forward tilting ears that follow the line of the moderate wedge that is of fair depth and width. The nose is a fraction long and rolls off at the leather with fair break, I did check to see if she was teething but not today.  She is also quite pinched at the muzzle as yet. Unfortunately the bite is just marginally overshot even allowing for the upper teeth slanting inwards.  Her coat is typically kitten for texture, lays well and is a darkish but warm chocolate with contrast masking.  Pleasing eye shape with lower line fully rounded and topline shows a gentle slant to the nose, good size but need to be set wider apart. Necklaces to throat and leg bracelets.

RED /CREAM BURMESE NEUTER
1ST REES PR OAKENSHIELD LOUISIANA (27f) 2yrs 6mths. Lovely mature lass but who was not in the best of moods today at all, hissed and spit (but this added to her look!) Sadly we were not able to check her bite unfortunately. That said she is a medium bodied and well built lady of excellent weight, in fact she has a rather portly tummy so she obviously adores her food bless her!  Elegant shapely legs support her with oval paws, the tail is a good shape and just balances. Her head form a super short wide blunt wedge of very good overall depth. She has a very gently rounded top of head, just slightly flattened above her brow between medium ears of very good width apart and set and outer line follow the line of the wedge.  Fairly short straight nose with a good break in profile but just rounds off at the tip. Chin just recedes. Palish cream a tad darker on her back, otherwise even toned, is short in length and lays close, nice texture too with feint powder evident on her head and paws.

Mrs M Rodger

The Club had put in an extremely large amount of work to make this a festive and happy occasion for Easter Saturday, I hope everyone enjoyed the show as much as I did. To Derek Harman my steward, thanks very much for stepping into the breech and handling the cats so competently, I hope you had an interesting day.
CLASS NO 216 BLACK SILVER TABBY KITTEN
1ST & BOB NO 122 Miles TUFTON DRESS TO IMPRESS (18) F 07.11.08 - This is a small but very solid muscular female. The round head has a very firm chin with a level bite. There is good width to the top of the head with well set neat ears. The cheeks have fullness developing and she has a generally open expression with well rounded eyes developing a good green colour. The nose is short with width. Her neck is very short and the body cobby, showing excellent width and depth to the body, short legs and a complementary tail. The spine lines are well separated and defined, the butterfly distinct, and the oyster has good demarcation and insets within it. The necklets and tail rings are complete and well defined. The ground colour of this girl is a dull pewter silver and the dense black pattern shows good contrast. For a youngster she has an excellent very short crisp, dense coat.
2ND NO 121 Baillies METALLICAT BLACK PEARL (18) F 03.09.08- This is a very well boned youngster developing good weight and muscle. The head has size and roundness and the ears are slightly high set and lacking separation at present. She has a well rounded brow and width across the cheeks but lacks fullness and depth to the muzzle. The bite is level beneath a short nose. The eyes are developing a good green tone but lack size and roundness to the set. Her neck is short, chest broad and deep, body compact, and tail of medium length with good thickness at its base. Her legs are sturdy and short. The coat is soft, rather long and fluffy, and lacking in density. The legs have good tabby markings extending to the toes, and she has complete necklets, a well defined M, but only moderate tail rings as regards completeness. The shoulder butterfly is well defined and spine lines separated, but the oysters and flank markings are very indistinct and muddled. This cat has a pretty clear pale silver ground colour and black pads to the feet, however there is a marked lack of blackness to the pattern which is entirely inconsistent with that required to the breed standard. There is a lot of shading within the markings as regards intensity of colour, a BOB would not be awarded.
CLASS NO 230 BI-COLOURED KITTEN
1ST & BOB NO 124 Willis's FELESAMOR TAMERINE-HUNNY (3 If) M 16.08.08 For his age this is a very strong, large, mature boy. He has an excellent large round head with open expression, a broad rounded brow and crown and very neat inset round tipped ears. Already the cheeks are full as is the muzzle. The nose and chin tips are not just quite level at the moment. The nose is broad and short and separates very nice open round copper eyes which are well set. His neck is very short. He has a short, neat, compact cobby body and the legs and tail are strong and thick. The patches of cream against the white are fairly symmetrical and in correct proportion. The coat is very short, very dense and firm with good crispness developing. The colour of this coat on the cream areas does at the moment fade to a very pale colour at the roots of the hair making the coat very unsound, however undesirable freckling on the surface of the coat is medium in quantity at the moment and is in a mid cream colour and is not profuse. The general impression is of a good white and pale cream contrast.
CLASS NO 623 AC BRITISH ADULT
1ST NO 105 Robinsons CH ADSETSH TIT AN- WARRIOR (18) M 08.08.07 - A giant of a boy and oh so gentle and sweet natured. This boy has a massive wide deep head which is rounded on all contours with a very firm chin and muzzle. The ears fit neatly into this head, and the eyes are round and greenish in colour astride a broad short nose which leads to a level bite. He has very full cheeks, a short thick muscular neck, a short deep compact yet large body. He has strong well boned legs and is muscular and very well boned if perhaps becoming a little bit heavy. The tail is short but balances the body. The pattern on his coat is extremely well defined. The M, separate spine lines, necklets, butterfly and oysters all show good contrast of the dull silver ground colour against the sound black pattern. There is just a little bit of agouti showing within this pattern. The coat is very short, dense and crisp. A true gentleman at 20 months old!
2ND NO 108 Dobsons ADVISH MYJAMESY (39f) M 05.04.06 - A very balanced mature boy with a lovely temperament. The head is very round with lovely open expression to the face and with excellent roundness to the brow and crown. The ears are well set if slightly pronounced, and he has a good muzzle with width, a full deep firm chin and level bite. The eyes show excellent roundness and are open in a paleish gold colour. The neck is very short, the body is compact, and the legs strongly boned, short and muscular. The tail is short and unfortunately does show some ringing on it. The coat however is beautifully short and dense with genuine crispness. The undercoat is a very even pale cream, shading to a very pale silvery cream at the roots and the tipping is light, very even, and a warm pale cream colour. He is beautifully prepared and sparkling today with tipping extending down to his toes.
3 Krauts GR CH ADFURSH BLUE TYCHO (16) M 02.04.04 - It is sad to see this lovely boy let down by preparation today. He has a fully round head, with round cheeks and a short broad nose, with well set excellent round orange eyes which are well separated and of good size. The bite is level beneath a short broad nose. The ears fit moderately well into the contours of the head but there is a little bit of weakness to the chin, beneath quite heavy lips on his broad muzzle. His neck is short, sinking into the shoulders, and the chest is broad and deep. The body is solid and short in length, muscular and deep, and the tail is balanced and short. The coat is quite nicely pale blue in colour but does show slight silvering. This coat is very dense and crisp, and today unfortunately is rather woolly with evidence of stud tail sadly.
CLASS NO 631 AC BRITISH NOVICE ADULT
1ST NO 116 Rutherfords ANIMOSO PIANINO (40 4) F 19.08.07 - The coat on this lilac Colourpointed is rather blueish in shade and lacks a bit in warmth at the moment, but it is making the points show very distinctly with very good definition on the body, against a body colour which is a pale magnolia colour. The cat itself has excellent pale blue eyes which add strength to the colour. The head shows nice roundness but could have greater size. The eyes are very nicely round and open. There is width between the ears which still stand a little bit prominently. The nose is short, the neck very short, the body is compact and solid, nicely rounded and muscular, the legs well boned leading to neat rounded paws. The tail balances the body size well. The coat itself is very short, dense and very pleasingly crisp. This cat has a few things to even out but is an attractive promising exhibit.
2ND NO 95 Dennys CHESLO FELBRIGG BLUE JOHN (16) M 28.05.08 - The top of the head is broad with very neat, well set, ears and a rounded brow. The nose is short and broad and there is average width to the cheeks which are developing fullness as is the muzzle. The expression is open and the eyes are open, round, and a good clear gold colour. This cat has virtually no neck, the head sinking into its muscular shoulders on a broad deep chest. The body is a medium length but I would like a bit more width over the haunches to complete a cobby stance. The tail is moderately thick but still shows evidence of rings in the fur. This is a very well boned, heavy, muscular ten and a half month old boy, whose coat is a pretty pale blue tone, unfortunately the colour is not sound. The coat however is very pleasingly short, very dense, with excellent crisp texture.
3RD NO 111 Rowes HEATHDOWN SHADOW DANCE (39) F 27.05.08 - A very pretty round faced tipped who is solid compact and muscular with a body of good depth. The legs are short and well boned and the tail is balanced. The head has a very pleasing deep firm muzzle and open truly round green expressive eyes. The cheeks are full and the ears are neat and well set. The coat is rather long but is dense and lively, with the black tipping being even and contrasting well against a clear silver body colour, unfortunately she does show rings on her tail.
CLASS NO 643 AOC BRITISH SELF ADULT
1ST NO 102 Beeslys HAVENHOUSE SHAMROCK (15c) M 20.06.08 - This Lilac has a nice round head with small ears, which are a little bit high set and pricked at present. The eyes lack size and are rather pale golden in colour. He has quite a solid muscular body and he is developing quite well on this side. The coat has density but does however lack in texture. It is in areas quite a nice pale lilac colour especially over the head however the consistency of colour is not spread throughout the cat and at present we are getting quite a two toned effect.
CLASS NO 655 BLUE OR CREAM BRITISH KITTEN
1ST NO 120 Miles's MARDENKA MUSICAL CHAIRS (16) F 04.09.08 - A very well grown attractive female with a fully round head with width between wide set neatly inset ears with rounded tips. There is width across the short nose and the eyes are open, very round, golden and a good size. The cheeks are well rounded and the muzzle shows width and firmness and the bite is even and level. The neck is short, muscular, leading to broad shoulders, a rounded chest and barrel on a muscular compact body, and the tail balances the body. She is very well boned and muscular with good weight and quite a wriggler. This kitten has an excellent coat, being an excellent pale blue colour that is sound to the hair roots, the coat is short and very dense with texture developing well to give good crispness.
CLASS NO 667 AC BRITISH GRAND PREMIER NEUTER
1ST NO 131 Morriss GR PR VINDELIS IN THE SPOTLIGHT (30) MN 18.08.06 -The round head has a full round muzzle, and a firm chin with level bite. The expression is open with moderately large deep golden round eyes astride a shortish nose. The ears are evident because of slight flatness to the crown, but are neat and round tipped. His neck is short and the body compact and cobby, with sturdy muscular short legs and a balanced tail. He is a very good weight and in good condition. The coat is very short, crisp and dense, black spots are well defined and there is minimal linkage evident. The colour of the spots extends deep into the coat and the hair roots throughout the coat are dark brown. The contrast with the main body colour could show slightly more richness against the black pattern. The M, butterflies, oysters and spine lines are well defined and demarcated, necklaces are complete. The chin is a very pale cream colour.
CLASS NO 686 AOC BRITISH NON-SELF NEUTER
1ST NO 133 Aliens CINCCI ENRIQUE (40 4) MN 19.09.07 - This colourpointed has a nice top of head but it does tend to taper to a rather wedge shaped broad muzzle, even though there is some width across the cheeks. The ears are very nicely neatly set across the rounded top of head. The eyes are open and round, but are a slightly dirty blue colour. The neck and body are short, well rounded and the legs are strongly muscled and well boned. He stands generally cobby and well boned. The coat is magnolia, short and dense, but is rather shaggy in texture. There is a lot of contrast in what are well defined points, and there is shading in the colour of lilac and it tends to range from a hot cream to a pale blue lilac colour at the moment, hopefully this may even itself out later.
CLASS NO 304 USUAL ABYSSINIAN KITTEN
1ST BOB NOT AWARDED NO 178 Davisons PUSSINI TARANTELLA (23) F 07.11.08 - This is a very pretty kitten whose head is very wedge shaped, with too straight a profile, and lackING width to the very fine muzzle. The bite is level, the ears well set and tutted. The kitten has expressive eyes in an open almond shape with nicely pigmented rims. There is not a lot of rounding to the lateral lines of this wedge head. She has quite an elegant neck, a firm muscular body, elegant legs, but a fine rather whipped shaped tail. She has a nice cream lip and chin. There are very faint legs bars evident on the front legs and she does show a slight necklet. The ground colour of this kitten is a warm sandy colour. She is very well ticked, the ticking well defined three brands of black. Today she fails particularly on a rather lean long body and whipped tail, and a not truly Abyssinian style of head although she is an attractive cat.
CLASS NO 305 AV SORREL ABYSSINIAN KITTEN
1ST & BOB NO 179 Lears CRYSTALPAWS RED BARON (23a) MN 22.07.08 -This kitten unfortunately is showing a very large amount of light colour extending up towards the nose and on the upper lip. However he is actually free of barring and necklet, which is pleasing to see. The head is a gently modified wedge, and there is quite a gentle profile dip on what is a broad and pleasingly straight lower nose. The eyes are greenish gold, shapely, and nicely open. The ears are a good size and well set. This cat has an elegant neck, very nice elegant fine legs, and neatly oval paws. The body is firm and muscular and quite nicely rounded and a medium length. The tail is of medium length, nicely thick to the root and tapering. The ground colour of this kitten is quite a rich apricot colour, and the brown ticking is fairly well defined but needs to intensify.
CLASS NO 342 FAWN ABYSSINIAN NEUTER
1ST PC & BOB NO 196 Pateys CH & PR MYCENE MACGREGOR (23e) MN 06.03.01 - This fawn has moderately good fawn ticking. The colour of the base coat towards the roots of the hair does tend to fade away rather much towards a silvery colour, but I accepted this today as he is over 8 years old. The coat is short, moderately dense, of medium length giving quite a good texture to it. The head is a modified short wedge, with good contours and profile break. The ears lack a little bit in size for elegance, but the eyes are open, expressive and deepish yellowy gold in colour. The body is now a little bit solid but still has elegance, but it does lack a bit of balance with what are nice fine elegant legs. The tail style is correct. This is a gentle old gentleman.
CLASS NO 691 AV FOREIGN CHAMPION ADULT
1ST NO 160 Alger-Streets CH TYPHAST COLUMBINE (76 30) F 14.03.08 - A pleasing Bengal possibly a little bit long in the muzzle, but with a head which has neat round tipped ears, excellent open oval eyes, a broad jaw hinge and firm rounded muzzle. She has a short neck, muscular solid weighty body which needs to build up still more muscle along the back, and a tapering tail. The coat has lovely texture, being fine, close lying, dense and in a rich apricot ground colour and dark rosettes well distributed and showing colour within these rosettes.
2ND NO 152 Maceys CH FECHELDEE GEORGIE GIRL (74h) F 02.02.04 - A Tonkenese who is rather long in proportion on the head, but otherwise the head is a nicely modified wedge, well indented with profile dip nicely evident. She has eyes which are shapely, open almond, and green. The short neck is muscular, leading to a solid medium length rounded body and tapering tail. The coat is close lying with warm chocolate red and cream tortie colours well intermingled. An attractive exhibit!
3RD NO 156 Alger-Streets CH TYPHAST VESUVIUS (76 30) M 08.05.06 –
CLASS NO 735 AV FOREIGN KITTEN RESIDENT IN ESSEX
1ST NO 185 Morris AKATOFARR ASTRAKHAN FUDGE (33a31d) F 16.07.08 -This red and white bi-colour Devon Rex lacks the required proportion of white in the coat and is quite a temperamental little lady. The head shows nice width across the back, but at present the ears are set slightly high but do have nice tufts. She has a gently modified wedge with a nice broad muzzle, quite a good profile break and shapely eyes. She has a neck of reasonable length and a body that is solid and muscular, but she lacks a little bit of elegance and has quite a lot of growing to do. She has a short rexed coat, which covers the body well, and is fairly neat and a very fully rexed fluffy tail.
CLASS NO 748 AV FOREIGN DEBUTANT NEUTER
1ST NO 211 Maclaines BOMBASTIC MIDNIGHT (76b30) MN 01.05.07 - This Snow Bengal has an excellent head. He has a short broad nose with slightly puffed nose leather, astride this are set excellent open oval deep blue eyes. His ears are moderately small, fit into his head, and the top of the head flows over to a very short neck, down to broad shoulders and a body which is soft, deep and muscular. He has a warm ivory shade to the ground colour on the base coat. This coat generally has glitter to it and the rosettes are extremely well defined and he is a good example of the colour.
2ND NO 193 Lears GR CH KOPEKAT DRAKE RAMORAY (23) MN 13.12.02 - A striking boy. This cat has a pleasingly broad modified wedge shaped head and for a 6 year old he is still quite an elegant lad with a well proportioned body and shapely legs and paws. The lip and chin are pale in colour. He does show a slight necklace and leg barring unfortunately. Unfortunately he does have dark roots to the hair of the coat but this does not diminish from his general colour which is a medium rich colour with excellent dense black ticking.
3RD NO 215 Waughs MAGICAL GOMEZ (33a30s) MN 17.05.08 -CLASS NO 763 AV FOREIGN NEUTER NOT RESIDENT IN ESSEX
1ST NO 210 Wiggins FIRSTCHOICE CANDY CLAWS (76 30) FN 24.03.06 - A brown spotted Bengal with excellent rich base colour to the coat and very well defined dense spots. The coat lacks glitter, is short, dense and quite plushy, and the cat lacks a little bit in sleekness of coat. She has a smallish head with good width across the cheek bones and to the jaw hinge. The eyes are greenish and shapely, and the ears are moderate in size but are rather too pricked. She has a broad nose and nicely defined whisker pads. The neck is fairly short, the body broad and deep with length, and on this occasion quite a bit of fat but she is solid and muscular.
2ND NO 200 McCartens AGAPIMOU BLACK ARCHIMEDES (72) MN 27.03.08 This Bombay shows typical Burmese type, with nice rounded contours to the head.

Mrs K Wilkinson

Household pet classes judged by Mrs Kathy Wilkinson

Many thanks to Helen and the committee for their kind invitation to judge at this always enjoyable show.  My husband wasn’t able to come to steward for me, so I had the most wonderful time as I had the cats to myself!

Class 959        Black/Black & White LH neuter

1st.       Potter’s Billie Bean,  21.10.1998, black, MN.  This lad’s attitude was that he had been there, done it all and got the t-shirt!  Such a confident, laid-back gentleman.  He finally deigned to wake right up and come out to be admired and show himself off – beautifully groomed coat, lovely eyes, very alert.  Full of personality.  An absolute smasher!

2nd.       Steel’s Harvey.  10 months, Black & White, MN.  A smart young fellow, young, a lot of maturing to do but very handsome.  His black was jet black, his white was very bright, neat white feet, and spotless ‘bib’.   Charming fellow.

Class 960        Black/Black & White SH neuter

1st        Oliver’s Foster, 6 yrs, black and white, MN.  An attractive chap!  Jet black and sparking white coat, attractive facial markings set off with a lovely splodge of black on white nose and chin.  Slightly happier in the pen than out today, rolling over and over once back inside. 

Class 966        Tabby/Tabby & White SH Neuter

1st        Miller’s Chestermiller, 4 yrs, tabby MN.  What a purrbox!  A lovely substantial tabby lad, beautiful green eyes, good tabby markings on body and face finished off with a lovely ringed tail.  Very relaxed out on the table, a delightful chap to meet and cuddle. 

Class 974        AC LH Non-self Half Pedigree Kitten

1st        Brock’s Patchylypso, 9 months, tortie tabby FN.  A little lady!  Such a pretty, delicate young girl who I had to wake up to be judged.  At first it was a bit of an effort to open those lovely greeny/yellow eyes for me to see them, but she managed it and finally managed a quick dab at my pencil on the table.  Lovely coat, and well groomed.

Class 984        Exhibit Owned by Novice Exhibitor

1st        Ashman’s Zsazsa, 5 month female.  Another very pretty young lady with lovely bright eyes as she told me off for waking her up from her snooze.  She preferred to be in her pen snoozing rather than being out with me.  A character!

Class 987        Marmalade LH or SH exhibit

Two beautiful cats, a difficult decision to make. 
1st        Potter’s Duke, nearly 13 yrs, SH ginger & white MN.  What can I say about this gentleman?  He was lying there padding away with his front feet, looking back over his shoulder with wonderfully expressive eyes as if to say ‘I’m lovely, you may adore me!’.  And I did.  A lovely mature boy with presence. 

2nd        Richards’ Kevin Thekountrycat, 2 years, SH Ginger & white MN.  Another smashing lad.  Beautiful sleek coat, crisp white gloves, socks, bib, lovely pink nose.  Very friendly and very alert to what was going on around him.  Difficult decision, but Duke had the edge today.

Class 992        Any senior cat (over 2 yrs and under 7 yrs)
1st        Lloyd’s Arnie, 6 yrs, SH Black and white, MN.  Lovely substantial boy, beautiful smoky grey well groomed coat, neat feet, lovely tail, expressive greenish eyes.   Purring loudly all the time he was out.  Very friendly and alert.

2nd        Miller’s Cleo-Katramiller, 4 yr, blue/white tortie Sphynx, FN.  My first opportunity to hold a sphinx, and yes, she did feel like a warm peach!  Very pretty, alert girl.  I do like those wrinkles and folds.  A delightful lady.

Class 993        Any veteran cat (over 7 yrs)
Another wonderful class of cats.
1st        Maskell’s Hugo, 9 yrs, Silver tabbypoint, MN.  I couldn’t believe this cat was 9 years old and had to check twice.  Lovely coat, and those curly whiskers were sweet.  He was up and ready to come out of the pen and be cuddled, so very friendly. Just couldn’t believe his age.
2nd        Potter’s Billy Bean.
3rd        Clayden’s Mr Wedgwood, 10 yrs, blue point MN.  Another cat who certainly doesn’t look his age.  Friendly, such a beautiful colour, well groomed, wonderful condition.  A credit to his owner. 

Class 995        Best Groomed SH Exhibit

1st        Richards’ Kevin Thekountrycat. 
2nd        Potter’s Duke.

Class 1001      Exhibit with the Most unusual coat pattern

1st        Tolhurst’s Heidi, 5 yrs, SH tortie and white tabby.  A really lovely lady, very pretty facial markings, bright white patches, and other patches of varying shades of deep orange to red on her body, beautifully ringed tail.  One eye liner was black, the other red, with a tiny red dot beside her nose.  Lovely big girl, a stunner. 
2nd        Brocks’s Patchylypso

Class 1007      Exhibit Owned by a Senior Citizen

1st        Lloyd’s Arnie
2nd        Potter’s Billie Bean
3rd        Hutchinson’s Papagena

Class 1011      Exhibit Judge would like to take home

1st        Williams’s Solo Scrimbleshanks, 11 months, SLH Ginger & White, MN.  A lovely cat – beautiful shades of red from cream to auburn, gleaming white, handsome facial markings.  Nice tabby markings.  Very well groomed.
2nd        Millett’s Monty, 8 months, SLH Black, M.  very handsome young chap, expressive green eyes, soft luxurious coat, jet black, nicely groomed.  
3rd        Brock’s Patchylypso

BROWN BURMESE KITTEN (2 entered)
1 BOB Pearmans SANLIS SAMARA (27) 15/11/08 F
Reminding me so much of her Mum, this dear little brown girl was really enjoying her day out.  At just 5 months old she has a firm muscular body that is of very good weight, her legs are slender and proportionate with neat spoon shaped paws.  Pleasing shape to medium thick tail which has a paintbrush tip and balances.  She has a gently rounded top of head with good width between her medium sized ears that have a broad base, rounded tips and are set with a slight forward tilt, their outer lines following the outline of her upper wedge.  Her wedge is short and wide and narrows to a blunt muzzle with good width at the jaw hinge.  In profile her head has good depth, with a gently rounded brow and distinct break to her short straight nose, she has a strong chin that is level.  Her eyes are large, lustrous and a muddy yellow at present where the colour is developing.  They are well set well apart with the topline slanting towards her nose and a fuller more rounded lid giving her a super Burmese look but with that slightly shocked expression Burmese babies have.  Her coat is kittenish in texture (as one would expect) but it lays well and is a pale slightly cool seal brown.  A beautifully balanced kitten with a delightful temperament and shown in lovely condition.

2 DULCAMARA ANNABELINDA (27) 24/07/08 F
Promising brown girl of good type with a strong body of very good weight with rounded chest and straight back , elegant slender legs with neat spoon shaped paws.  Her tail is of good length and thickness and tapers to a paintbrush tip. She has gently rounded top of head with well set medium sized ears that are of good shape and set on a broad base with rounded tips and have a slight forward tilt.  Her wedge is short and broad with a blunt muzzle that is just looking a little pinched at the jaw hinge today (teething??) and she has a level bite.  She has a pleasing profile with a gentle nose break, short nose that just rolls of a little, strong firm chin.  Her eyes are large, lustrous and yellow chartreuse and are of the desired shape and set with the topline slanting towards her nose and a fuller more rounded lower lid, they are set well apart giving her that special Burmese look.  Her coat satiny in texture and is a lovely warm seal brown but is just a little long and lays well.  A sweet confident kitten who enjoyed a cuddle and was unlucky to meet my winner today!

BLUE BURMESE KITTEN (1 entered)
1 BOB Harmons MERINDA SHULA (27a) 10/08/08 F
Super type to this blue kitten who was calling her head off and desperately trying to tempt the chocolate boy next door into her pen – he looked a little confused!  Of very good weight but I felt she could be a bit bigger for her age. She has a rounded chest and straight back, with elegant slender limbs and neat spoon shaped paws, her tail is of medium thickness, tapers to a paintbrush tip and balanced to her shoulder.  She has gentle rounding to her top of head with well spaced correctly shaped ears that have a broad base and rounded tips and are set with a slight forward tilt their outer line following the outline of her wedge.  In profile she has and bite.  Her wedge is short, broad and narrows to a blunt muzzle.

Super type to this brown Tiffanie girl – she looked just like a Burmese in longer coat.  She has a lithe well muscled body of good weight and size with a straight back and rounded chest, proportionate elegant legs with neat spoon shaped paws. Her tail is of medium thickness and tapers to a rounded tip and just balances.  Gently rounded top to her head with very good width between her medium sized ears that have a  broad base and rounded tips and are set with a slight forward tilt, their outer line following the line of her wedge.  In profile she has good depth to her head, with gently rounded brow with a distinct nosebreak, short straight nose and strong level chin and a level bite.  Her wedge is short and wide and narrows to a blunt muzzle with good width at jaw hinge.  She has large lustrous yellow eyes of the correct shape and set with gentle rounding to the top line that slants towards her nose and a fuller more rounded lower lid,  set wide apart giving her super expression. Beautiful texture to her warm rich seal brown coat that is fine, silky and short to medium in length and lies flat to the body and flows down her sides and flanks. I would like to see more of a ruff and breeches at this stage but she has a moderate plume and tiny ear tufts and furnishings.  A sweet gentle girl who just needs to mature.

3 Alger Streets TYPHA OLOROSO (72b) F 10/08/07
Pretty chocolate self girl with a petite elegant body with rounded chest and straight back, her legs are slender with neat spoon shaped paws.  Her tail is thicker than ideal and just short to balance.   Slightly flat top of head with good width between medium ears of good shape and reasonable set.  They are broad at the base with gently rounded tips and set with a slight forward tilt, their outer line following the outline of her face, she was however, holding them a little upright today.   In profile I would like more depth to her head but she has a rounded brown with an acceptable nosebreak, but the nose is a fraction long and slopes away, her chin is firm and level.   Short wide wedge with reasonable width at the jaw hinge.  Correct shape to her yellow eyes that have the topline slanting towards her nose and a fuller more rounded lower line. Sleek close fitting warm rich chestnut coat is almost clear and not quite coloured to the roots.  A very sweet girl with a lovely temperament.
