Also considered  BENNETT’S CH & PR DAZZLING SWEETALKING GUY. (32 8) 2yrs 1mth This boy was totally inhibited, determined to hide his very considerable lights under whatever bushel he could find.

Medium sized body, balancing limbs and tail. Very good, very lovely soft caramel tabby points, with good contrast to the smooth  body that shows a little toning shading.

Her coat is short and soft, well curled on her back and legs, a bit straight on her tail.

He has a muscular, lithe body of medium size; slender legs with oval paws; tail is fairly thick at the base, tapering and reaches his shoulder. Coat is short, fine but not soft in texture, with rather a pale, cold-toned base colour, but a pleasing pinkish mushroom on his tummy and inner legs, paler hair around his eyes and very pale hair on his chin and throat. The soft blue really needs more ticking - there appear no more than 2 bands of darker blue - but he shows a correct darker spine line down to a solid blue tail tip. The soles of his paws have solid blue hair, but it does not climb up his back legs far enough. He has well defined vertical marks from the inner edges of his eyes, but lacks clear horizontal lines from the outer edges of his eyes to his ears; 2 NICHOLS' PREFERE YOUNG DIVA, 72/42gq, female.

Mrs A Gregory

A relaxed and friendly show with warm hospitality; I would like to thank Beryl and Judy for the invitation to judge and for a most enjoyable, social time in Lincoln.

AC BIRMAN CHAMPION, MALE
1 GCC WHITBY’S GR CH SUCETTE PRINCE VALIANT, 13C4, M, 13.7.2007
A young male who was, nevertheless, of very good size and substance for his age. Very good type and balance overall and he is still developing. The head had breadth with medium ears set well apart. The cheeks were full and the muzzle well developed. Very good profile showing a slight dip and the chin had depth. Beautiful eyes that were large and almost round. Soft, gentle expression. Long body with a firm, muscular feel. Good legs and tail. Excellent coat quality that was silky and fine. Beautifully soft lilac points and showing excellent contrast to the magnolia body. Gloves well shaped as were the socks. The gauntlets squared off but were a reasonable length. Excellent condition and temperament.
RES: GARDINOR’S GR CH PANJANDRUM FUEGO, 13C5, M, 13.8.2000
A mature cat of very good type with breadth of head. Well set ears of medium size. The profile appeared to have a slight dip because there was a bump on the nose. Full cheeks and well developed muzzle. Good chin. Large eyes, almost round and a very good blue. Not such a gentle expression as the winner. Very good body, legs and tail. The coat was silky and well prepared. Rich red points and showing good contrast to the body. Good gloves and socks, but the gauntlets squared off. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC BIRMAN CHAMPION, FEMALE
1 GCC GARDINOR’S CH ATAKAD CUSTARD CREAM, 13c7, F, 28.12.2004

2 (RES W/H)OGDEN’S CH MLYWARD VALENTINA, 13C1,F, 13.2.2007
This female was looking rather immature and I felt needed more time to develop before I would be prepared to award a Grand but she was pretty and feminine. She tended to hold her ears a little high until she relaxed in her pen. Very good eyes for shape, colour and expression. Tiny bump on the nose. Good chin. Body length in proportion to her size as were her legs. Good tail. Beautiful coat quality with dense, warm seal points and lovely contrast to the body which was a clear, pale but warm beige. Gloves marginally low. Good socks and gauntlets. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER, MALE – two exceptional Neuters, it was difficult to choose as they both had such charming temperaments, but in the end I had to penalise the lack of contrast on the Tabbypoint.
1 IGP MUSSON’S GR PR MEILLAND MY KINDA GUY, 24, MN, 29.6.2006
An elegant, handsome Sealpoint neuter with style, elegance and charm. Excellent type and balance overall. The wedge was long and well proportioned with width between the ears; it narrowed in straight lines to a fine muzzle. The ears were large and set well apart to follow the lines of the wedge. They were wide at the base. Almost straight profile and good chin. Beautiful eyes of oriental shape and set; they slanted towards the nose and were set well apart. Wicked expression belied by his charming nature. Elegant neck. Long, svelte body with fine legs and a whip tail of excellent length to balance. Excellent warm seal points and showing excellent contrast to the pale but warm beige body. The coat was very short, fine and close-lying. Excellent condition and temperament, he was confident and proud.

Excellent eye shape, set and  colour. Strong profile and good chin. Excellent elegant neck and head carriage. Long, fine body with firm muscle tone. Excellent legs and tail. Short, close coat that was close lying. Well defined tabby points but unfortunately he was lacking contrast and I could not overlook that, especially as he was up against such a handsome seal. Wonderful condition and temperament.

1 CC + BOB GARDINOR’S ATAKAD AIMIN HIGH, 13C2, M, 1.7.2008
Young Birman male who was very promising, of very good type and a lovely size and weight for his age. The head had breadth and balance with medium ears set well apart. Full cheeks and well developed muzzle. Slight dip in the profile and good depth to the chin. Large eyes, almost round; a very good blue and with a typically soft, gentle expression that was so appealing. Very good body, legs and tail. Silky coat that was beautifully presented. Medium blue points and showing excellent contrast to the glacial body. Neat gloves and gauntlets. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC BI-COLOUR RAGDOLL ADULT
1 CC + BOB HASSETT’S HAPPYTYME MISS BEHAVING, 66 31A, F, 3.3.2008
Young female who is developing well. Excellent head type with correct profile and retroussé nose. Flat plane to top of head and well set ears. Full cheeks and muzzle developing well. Beautiful eyes of excellent shape and colour. Very good body, legs and tail. Firm muscular feel and very well boned. Her ruff needs to develop so she was looking rather “exposed” but nevertheless, she had excellent coat quality. Very well marked except for a tiny spot on the left hock. Excellent condition and temperament.
2 HARRISON’S CHEHAM ANDROMEDA, 66/31A, F, 17.6.2008
Another young female with good type and balance overall. She was a good size and bone with a firm, muscular feel to her. Attractive face with a flat plane between the ears, full cheeks and good muzzle Beautiful eyes of good blue. Well shaped white chevron. Good body, legs and tail. Lovely silky coat texture, but she lacked the presentation of the winner and the fur was very greasy around the ears and separated. Well marked although she had a small blue spot on the right hock. Excellent condition and temperament but please take care with the grooming.
AC COLOURPOINTED/MITTED RAGDOLL, MALE
1 CC + BOB PULLEN’S DIZZIPAWS ZEMO, 66AW, M, 12.4.2008
A really handsome young male of impressive type, size and substance. Excellent broad head with a flat plane and width between the medium ears. The latter were set wide apart with a slight forward tilt and were well furnished. Well developed cheeks and muzzle. Very good profile showing a gentle dip and firm chin. Large, expressive eyes with a slightly oblique setting and a very good blue. Short neck and long, muscular body with medium length legs that showed substantial boning. Large, round, tufted paws. Long bushy tail to balance. Excellent markings. His mittens flicked very slightly but his type and imposing appearance in one so young more than compensated. Beautifully presented, his silky coat was dense with pale blue matching points and glacial contrast. White chin, bib, chest and underparts and the back legs were white. Excellent condition and temperament. I feel he has great potential.
2 HASSETT’S HAPPYTYME TUMBLERAG, 66AW, M, 31.3.2008
Another handsome young male who was impressive and very unlucky to meet the winner. Very good head and expression Well set ears and eyes of a good blue. Gentle dip to the profile although the chin did slope away which affected the strength of the muzzle. Excellent body, legs and tail. Very good coat quality and presentation. Well marked. Good blue points and showing lovely contrast. Excellent temperament and condition.
AC COLOURPOINTED/MITTED RAGDOLL, FEMALE
1 CC/WH HARRISON’S DOLLYBROOKE DAKOTABLUE, 66A, F, 9.4.2008
A young female with fairly good type and expression although she needs more time to mature. The muzzle was a little weak. Body, legs and tail were also immature and she looked “not ready” for the adult class. Dark blue points and shady body. The coat was not presented well and she was really greasy around the ears.
2 HARRISON’S VALLEY CAT TYGER-ROSE, 66TW, F, 9.7.2008
Young female who was not of show type in my opinion. The head was too round and she had a straight profile. The medium ears were held high and needed more width between them. The head lacked breadth and the muzzle was not developed.  The tabby points were well defined but the body was very shady. She lacked preparation and presentation.
AC TURKISH VAN KITTEN
1 + BOB JOHNSON’S AKDAMAR TAZI, 13dod, M, 29.10.2008
A really handsome and impressive Turkish kitten presented to perfection and looking very promising. The wedge has breadth that is developing well. Medium nose with a very slight dip to the profile. The ears were quite large, set fairly high and well feathered. Large, oval eyes with one a clear blue and the other a light amber. Muscular body with a deep chest, he is developing well and has medium legs with very good boning. The tail balanced well and formed a full brush. Excellent that was silky and chalk white.

SILVER TABBY SERIES MAINE COON KITTEN
1 + BOB SPENCE & RUST’S LIONMAINE MUSTANG SALLY, 64/41SW, F, 28.10.2008
A very pretty female with lovely size, muscle and boning for her age. Medium length head with a square muzzle and good chin. Large ears, wide at the base and tapering to tufted tips. They were set high but she tended to hold them a little wide. Very expressive eyes that were full and round with a slightly oblique setting. Fairly full cheeks and high cheekbones. Her profile was rather straight with a slight bump to the tip of the nose. Excellent body, legs and tail. Excellent coat texture that is developing well. Lovely classic pattern showing and a clear silver ground. She was a pleasure to judge as she was thoroughly enjoying her day. Excellent condition, presentation and temperament.
AC COLOURPOINTED/MITTED RAGDOLL KITTEN
1 BOB/WH HARRISON’S DOLLYBROOKE CASPERSHADOW, 66T, F, 16.8.2008
This kitten was of fair type. The head was too rounded at the top, I would expect the flat plane to be there at 7 months. Medium ears set well apart. The eyes were a little too round but a good colour. In profile she needed a slight dip and a retroussé tip. Good body, legs and tail. Well defined tabby points but the coat was far too shady. Lacking presentation.
SILVER TABBY SERIES MAINE COON NEUTER
1 PR WHALE’S FURRNANDO TORRES, 64.41S, MN, 10.3.2008
A big friendly Coon who was of good type, substance and balance. Strong head of medium length with a square muzzle that could be a little broader to balance the width between the ears. The latter were large, wide at the base and tufted at the tips. He held them really wide when he was on the trolley, but they were very much better when he was relaxed in the pen. Expressive eyes that were full and round with an oblique setting. Nose of uniform width with a shallow concave curve at the bridge. Strong neck. Long, rectangular body that was muscular and strong. Substantial legs with large, round, tufted paws. The tail was wide at the base and tapered towards the tip but could have an inch or so more for balance. Good coat quality and he was well presented. Clear classic tabby pattern. Some tarnish on the face and paws. Excellent condition and temperament.
BLUE ABYSSINIAN ADULT
1 CC/WH BOWYER’S SILSILA WISHUPONASTAR, 23C, M, 1.1.2008
Good type overall but I felt his muzzle was a little fine and “foxy”. Moderate wedge with gently rounded contours to the top of the head. The ears were large, cupped and set well apart. They followed the lines of the wedge. Slight nose break when viewed in profile but the chin could be firmer. The eyes were set well apart, rounded almond in shape and in an oriental setting. Elegant neck. The body was of medium length with a firm, lithe feel. Straight back and rounded rib cage. Slender legs and neat oval paws. The tail was of balanced length, thick at the base and tapering. The coat was short, fine and very resilient. Warm blue with a pale mushroom base and defined ticking. There was white on the whisker pads and it did extend down the neck to the throat. For that reason I withheld the certificate. Very good condition and temperament.
SORREL ABYSSINIAN NEUTER
1 PR + BOB KAYE’S SILSILA BEOWULF, 23A, MN, 24.3.2008
A muscular, lithe Sorrel of good type and balance overall. Moderate wedge with large, well cupped ears set well apart. The top of the head showed gentle rounded contours. Excellent eyes of rounded almond shape; they were set well apart with an oriental slant. Very good profile showing a slight break and the chin had depth. He did tend to puff his whisker pads which gave the impression of a pinch, but when they were smoothed down all was well. There was a slight indentation to form the slightly rounded muzzle. Elegant neck. Excellent lithe, muscular body of moderate build with a straight back and rounded rib cage. Beautiful coat that was short, fine and resilient. Rich copper colour made up of a bright apricot base ticked with chocolate. It had a healthy gloss and was very impressive. Excellent condition and temperament.

Stewards work very hard during a show and often get very little recognition for all their efforts. So Ruth-my very grateful thanks!

I had some lovely cats to judge and my apologies to some of the exhibitors to whom I was unable to talk to after I finished judging. Unfortunately by the time I had completed judging the Burmese Best of Variety, I had very little time to get to the train station to catch my connection to return home to South Wales.
 
Special mention must go to my Best of Variety winner Pat Tegg’s Imp Gr Ch Bloomers Baroness Belchamp- a beautiful girl with lovely style and presence. Also I must congratulate Judy and Emma Matthews on their handsome boy Gr Ch Katchyn Coco Loco being made up to Imperial today! Well done to all concerned.

BURMESE IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION, MALE.  2 entered. IGC MATTHEW’S GR CH KATCHYN COCO LOCO (27b) M 17.2.06.

RES ICG SMITH’S GR CH MACHIKA CALLEIGH (27c) F 14.6.05. Another old favourite of mine who was unlucky to come up against the winner today who was in top form.

Eyes are large and lustrous with the correct shape and set giving rise to a super Burmese expression. Tail of good shape and just balances for length. Body feels firm and muscular-I would just like her to be a little larger is size for preference. Presented in very good condition and although a little shy, handled well and was a pleasure to judge. Two very nice girls indeed!

LILAC BURMESE ADULT, MALE. 1 entered. 1CC MATTHEW’S RAEBURASI MARULA (27C) M. 8.12.07. What a laid-back lad! He was so relaxed and content that he lay back in our arms-happy as Larry-and when placed back in his pen, promptly rolled over and went straight back to sleep! Very nice head with a super short wide wedge, wide at the cheeks and tapering gently to a blunt finish at the muzzle. Top of head is gently rounded with medium sized ears placed well apart. In profile I would prefer a little more nose break for preference. Nose is short and straight. Level chin. Eyes-when he could be bothered to open them-have the correct shape and set giving rise to a very nice Burmese expression. Body of excellent weight for size feeling very firm and muscular. Tail of good length and shape ending in a paintbrush tip. Very nice short and close lying lilac coat. Presented in very good condition and an utter softy when being handled.

AC BURMESE LIMIT ADULT. 2 entered. 1 WILSON’S KATZAKIORA TEHYA TABITHA (27c) F. 9.2.08. 2 MATTHEW’S KATCHYN ORANGE BLOSSOM (27d) F. Feeling very shy when out of her pen being judged but much happier when back in her pen where she then proceeded to purr happily at us! Very nice type and having a beautiful coat. Ran the winner very close and just lost out as the winner had a slightly better profile. A very promising young lady.

AC BURMESE NON-BREEDERS KITTEN. 2 entered. 1 WILLMONT’S PENWYNKATZ SUNDAE SURPRISE (27e) F. 24.8.08. Shy young lady. Head has a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle.  In profile there is a good nose break, straight nose and level chin. Good weight for size feeling firm and muscular. Tail of good length and shape ending in a paintbrush tip. Coat reasonably short and close lying given her age. I did look long and hard at a couple of rather pale patches on her chest and between her hind legs but as the hall lighting was so poor, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Presented in good condition. 2 MOFFATT’S KINDAT OPHELIA (27) F. 17.8.08.

AC BURMESE DEBUTANTE NEUTER. 1 entered. 1 TURNER’S BAZAPAW SUMMER SKY (27j) FN 21.3.08.

AV/AC BURMESE CAT,KITTEN OR NEUTER. 2 entered, 1 absent. 1 AKEHURST’S GR CH CHIARO LUMINOSO (27j) FN. 6.12.05. Rather a plump looking lady-clearly enjoys her food! Head has a short wide wedge. In profile I would prefer a little more depth to the nose break and the nose although straight is a touch long. Eyes of the correct shape and set giving rise to a nice Burmese expression. Tail a little thick in shape and a tad short to balance. I just loved the imperious looks she gave her neighbours when out of the pen!

AV FOREIGN NON-BREEDERS ADULT. 9 entered, 1 absent, 2 CNH. 1 COPLEY’S KEVONA SIMPLYAPERFECT END (68 43 csq) BCR Lilac Silver Shaded Tiffanie. M. 19.3.08. Large, substantial young lad of good weight for size feeling firm and muscular. Gently rounded chest, straight back and medium slender legs though ideally I would prefer the legs to be a touch more slender. Paws are medium/large in size. Tail of good shape and length when brought gently around to the shoulder. Head has a short wide wedge with good width at the cheeks and tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle. Ears are medium/large in size, broad at the base, gently rounded at the tips and follow the contours of the head giving a butterfly effect. In profile they have the desired slight forward tilt. Also when viewed in profile there is a good nose break and straight nose-though just a touch long. Chin recedes a little. Eyes are reasonably large and lustrous though for perfection I would like them just a little larger. They are a pale chartreuse in colour and have the correct shape and set with a slight curve on the upper line and a more rounded curve on the lower giving rise to a nice Asian expression. Coat has a fine and silky texture and is medium-long in length. The coat lies flat along the spine and then lengthens down the body to form the typical Tiffanie fringe or frill along the lower edges of the body. Reasonable plume of a tail though for preference I would have preferred it to have been slightly more full and ruff and ear furnishings are still developing. Colour is registered as BCR lilac however, I did have some reservations as to me, rather than a mantle of pale dusky dove grey that I would expect with this colour, the coat appeared to be a slightly brownish grey with some warm honeyish tone to it suggesting he might be a BCR Caramel. However, the lighting at the show was not at all helpful, being rather yellowish in tone with lots of shadows and it was not possible to view him in good daylight. I therefore gave him the benefit of the doubt and look forward to seeing him again in future to see how the colour is developing. Good, even undercoat of pristine silver. Presented in good condition and although not particularly happy, was reasonably easy to handle.

Mr G Martin

Many thanks to Judy, Beryl and their team for a wonderful 25th Anniversary Show and for finding my steward Liz Prescott who I hope to work with again the very near future.
AC PERSIAN ADOLESCENT ADULT. 1 HIGGINS’ ALINDAS BAM BAM
Just on 10 months this most handsome Black and White boy has short broad open type with bold clear eyes showing a deep orange which gives him a soft kind look. His ear set is just where it should be and match his fat wide cheeks to perfection. Deep chin and neat dentition complete his very Persian look. His big well presented coat covered a square low to the ground body set on the thickest of well bred bone.
2nd THORPES’ CLANDELIA PRINCE CHARMING.  Days away from his first birthday I found this Cream Smoke boy very much to my liking. Wonderful spherical head shape and neat wide ear set. Fat full cheeks and deep chin. Large expressive eyes that are the deepest colour possible. His big very well presented coat was showing a medium cream and superb undercoat all covering a cobby low body shape. Tail full and well in proportion.
3rd PIASEKIS’ COUNTRYGIRL GOLDILOCKS.
AC PERSIAN JUNIOR ADULT. 1 STEWARTS’ GRCH LAZANE ON CLOUD NINE. In early June this stunning Orange Eyed White boy will be two years old. He has nothing to improve on is as near to perfection that one could get in this wonderful breed. His massive coat was a joy with no a stain in sight and every hair having seen attention from his Mum.
2nd STEPHENSONS’ GRCH WESTHOLME MISSING LINK. Very handsome well proportioned Black Exotic boy approximately one month away from two years old. He was most unfortunate to meet my winner in this class as he is a winner in his own right. For some reason he was not a happy boy today so did not show himself to full advantage.
3rd THORPES’ CLANDELIA PRINCE CHARMING.

Mrs L Martin

Many thanks to the show managers and committee for my invitation to this lovely show. I was very lucky to get Heather Bradley for my expert steward today and we had a very good time together. See you again soon Heather.
AC BIRMAN PREMIER FEMALE. 1GRPR FORSYTHS’ PR. SUCETTE ON ICE. Compact and beautifully made lilac girl with a lovely typy face and a super body shape. Her fabulous coat was groomed to perfection with her points a soft even tone. Super girl to handle and really showed herself off so well.

Cobby body with an expertly groomed pale coat with super red even points colouring and a big flowing red tail.

She has a lovely body shape and her body coat was soft and pale but her points colouring are really too hot for a cream.

Mrs S Rose

Congratulations to the Club on its 25th anniversary.  It was a very happy occasion and I enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of it.  My thanks to Mrs Beryl Rawnsley and Mrs Judy Walsh for the invitation to judge and to all involved for the excellent hospitality.  I was lucky to have the support of Faye Turner who stewarded for me.  For your efficiency and gentle handling of the cats Faye, my sincere thanks.  I hope we can work together again.
ASIAN (TIFFANIE) ADULT MALE  1 entered.  1 CC BOB  COPLEY’S KEVONA SIMPLYAPERFECT END  (68 43csq)  12 months 3 weeks.  A large, strong, magnificent boy with a heavy, well muscled feel to his body.  Legs appear a little thick, medium, rounded paws.  Tail just long enough though looking a trifle out of balance as it is sparsely plumed at present.  Fairly short wedge, gently rounded over the wide top of head with medium ears continuing the outer facial contours.  Large, yellow, widely placed eyes showing the straighter upper line with more fullness in the lower line.  In profile head shows generous depth, definite nose break on a slightly long nose, deep chin set back just a little.  Silky soft coat, well prepared to flow down the body, medium length, fine, lying flat over the back.  Signs of a developing ruff and breeches, streamers in the ears.   Coat colour beautiful and subtle, I felt it was rather warm in tone for a Burmese expression lilac, also the colouring on the top of the head appeared to shade showing a caramel tone however the hall lighting was not kind to coat colours so I gave this boy the benefit of the doubt.  Sparking silver undercoat with  fairly heavy shading.  A pleasing boy to handle, just a little impatient to be put back in his pen.  FEMALE  1 entered.  1  CC  NICHOLS’ COOMAKISTA SOMELIKE ITHOT  (68 43dsq)  4 years 10 months.  A well behaved girl with a look of the early days of the first Asians.  Medium sized body of fair weight and muscle, legs of moderate length just a little thick, medium, rounded paws.  Tail of good length for balance, well plumed.  Head is short, blunt in the muzzle, rounded over the top between small ears which fit into the sides of the head.  Large eyes, pale, clear green with a hint of blue when seen in her pen.  In profile very definite nose break and level, deep chin.  Coat has a soft feel but is somewhat dense needing more preparation on the underparts, an attractive pale red lightly tipped over a silver undercoat.  This girl did have some faults making me think hard about awarding a CC.  She was a treat to handle.
DEVON REX KITTEN FEMALE  3 entered.  1  KINDELL & HAWTHORN’S GRIZABELLA LADY LYNDA  (33a36g) 8 months 1 week.  Trim, dainty lady with a feminine appearance, firmly muscled, broad across the chest, standing tall on long legs leading to small, oval feet.  Tapering tail could be just a touch longer for balance.  Slender neck leads to short, broad, wedge shaped head with high cheek bones, firm muzzle, definite whisker break.    In profile forehead is flat above a curving brow, nose is short and with a strong stop, minimal bump on nose, chin could be a touch firmer.  Top of head flat between large tufted ears, wide based and low set, enhanced by ear muffs.  Lovely shape to the eyes giving a delightfully mischievous expression, large and oval in shape with an upward sweep of the outer corner towards the ear base.  Coat is evenly short over the body, soft to the touch and gently waving, the rexing continuing well down the legs and on the tail, shorter on the belly.  Eyebrows and whiskers short, stubby and crinkled.  Subtle coloured coat showing pale shades of blue and cream well mingled.  An intriguing girl looking so demure while in her pen but really displaying the desired ‘wicked look’ while being assessed.  A joy to handle.  2  HOOLE’S REXTACULAR FIZZY LIZZY  (33a20)  8 months 2 weeks.  Another superb kitten making my choice of placing for the first 2 interestingly difficult.  Medium/large, slender body feeling very well muscled, (well, she was exercising the whole time we were with her!)  Broad chest, long slim legs, longer at the rear, small, oval paws, long, tapering tail.  Slender neck carrying a short, wide, wedge shaped head with high cheek bones, definite whisker break.  Flat, wide top of head between large ears with rounded, tufted tips, broad base and set low.  Profile shows a definite stop on a short nose, deep, level chin.  Most expressive, oval eyes, large, placed wide apart and showing a slant towards to outer ear base.  Overall, a lovely impression of the desired ‘wicked look’.  Very short coat with a soft texture waving over the body, tighter curling on upper legs and tail.  Shorter coat and less waving on lower part of legs, neck, tum and top of head. Short, stubby whiskers.   Smart tabby markings include dark tail tip and hocks, leg stripes, eye liner and facial pencilling.  An entertaining character, she didn’t stop wriggling the whole time we were with her, alert, eager and fun to handle. 3    EDMOND’S CHARNFIELD CHEECHAQUA  (33a27x)  5 months 1 week.  A sweet lass with some pleasing features.  Body appears dainty yet has a firmly muscled feel and good weight for her medium size.  Chest is broad, legs long and slender leading to small, oval feet, tail of medium length, tapering towards the tip.  Neck is slender holding a short, wedge shaped head with high cheek bones.  Flat top of head; full face the chin appears firm though in profile it seems to fall back a touch, minimal stop slightly stronger viewed from her left.    I would have liked more definition in the whisker break and a lower base to the large ears.  Pale blue eyes are large, oval in shape and placed on a slight slant..  At this stage the soft, short coat shows slight waving on the back, tail and legs, near white on the body with dark brown points.  A friendly lass with a gentle disposition.
BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL  KITTEN  MALE 1 entered.  1 HALLIGAN’S MUMANDACATS KUBLA KHAN  15 weeks.    Long, sleek body not yet feeling firmly muscled, medium length legs longer at the rear with rounded, medium sized paws.  Tail is long, slightly fine and tapering.  Cheek bones high on a rounded wedge shaped head, well defined whisker pads, broad nose though as yet without the desired puffed nose leather.  Ears large however they continue the outer lines of the face, round tipped, held slightly high.  Rounded almond shape to the large eyes, a muddy tone at present.  In profile nose shows a gentle dip below a gently curving brow.  Firm chin.  Fairly short coat, soft texture showing good contrast between the pale gold ground colour with gold dusting and the black and dark brown of the markings.  Spots show a variety of sizes well defined, very clear black leg markings and tail rings.  Facial M and cheek pencilling dark brown, also chin strap and broken necklaces. Most body spots show a darker outline with brown infill.   This boy is still very young and appears to be developing at different rates over his body giving him an immature   look, it will be interesting to see  him as he develops.       Female  1 BOB HALLIGAN’S MUMANDACATS MAMMA MIA (76 30)  8 months.  Sister of the above, showing greater maturity.  Body is long and well muscled with a sleek appearance, a little taller at the rear, long tail of medium thickness tapering slightly to a rounded tip.  Legs of moderate length with medium sized, rounded paws.  Head appears small in proportion to the body size and shows a ‘wild’ expression, slightly longer than wide, fairly well defined whisker pads and puffed nose leather on a broad nose.  Ears somewhat large and facing forward, just set a little more on the top than on the sides of the head.  Large, rounded oval eyes, clear yellow tone.  Viewed from the side nose shows a gentle dip, I would have liked a little more depth in the head.  Coat is short and very soft, a cool, grey/gold base showing the required gold dusting and clearly contrasting with the black and very dark brown of the pattern.  Base coat shows greater warmth on the front legs, face and spotted belly.  Very clearly defined   M on head, vertical lines going up and over, attractive streaks on shoulders and legs.  A friendly girl, alert and responsive.  ASIAN SMOKE OR BURMILLA NEUTER  for BOB only.  BOB KEMP’S GR PR NATZKATZ IRISH-CREAM  (72 43nsq)  1 year 10 months.  An impressive, large and well muscled lad with legs and paws in proportion to balance, tail just a little short.  Features on the wedge shaped head show a generous, alert expression.  Short and fine, soft coat, beautifully presented in a lightly shaded, warm toned  fawn with a paler base, more depth of colour on the head.  A lovely, affectionate temperament.
BURMESE BROWN ADULT FEMALE  1 entered.  1  WARD’S ADATEBU LADY CASSANDRA  9 months.  This young lass appeared anxious, this may have prevented her from looking her best.  Body of fair size and weight for her age, a little plump in the tum, slim legs with small, oval feet, tail of correct thickness though short for balance.  Head of medium length and width, flat over the dome, medium/large ears held slightly high.  Large, clear yellow eyes, somewhat rounded, however widely placed.  In profile good depth in the head and definite nose break on a nose rolling off a little at the tip, deep chin set back a touch.  Mid brown coat, fairly short and showing faint bars on the legs, however it was the texture which let her down today, the coat felt sticky rather than fine and glossy.  Well behaved and gentle but not too happy.  I was sorry to with-hold the CC but her coat quality and facial features did not appear typically Burmese today.
RED ADULT MALE  1 entered.  1  WILLMONT’S ADVERSANE ANGUS  1 year 8 months.  A friendly boy of good size, weight and muscle, looking a little thin on the flanks, legs and feet in good proportion.  Short, wedge shaped head with rounded dome, medium sized ears with rounded tips.  His eyes did look small and slightly deep set  at first however he did open them briefly and they appeared fuller, set well apart, yellow chartreuse.  Profile shows fair depth in the skull, definite nose break though the nose falls away a little at the tip, fairly deep chin is level.  Moderately short coat feeling a little harsh, pale tangerine, brighter in tone on the spine line and head.  A few tabby marks on the forehead.  I guess from his coat and general body condition that this is a working boy.  He has a lovely, gentle nature.
FEMALE  1 entered.  1 CC B0B  MATTHEWS’ KATCHYN ORANGE BLOSSOM  12 months 4 weeks.  Such a character and with a typically Burmese determined expression!  Body is heavy, elegant and well muscled with a tail of correct thickness and length, gently  rounded at the tip.  Broad, blunt, wedge shaped head with gently rounded dome between medium ears which continue the outer lines of the face and tilt forward.  Golden yellow eyes showing the required straight slant to the upper line with rounded lower line, placed well apart.  Generous depth to the head in profile, acceptable nose break, firm chin.  Very short, fine coat presented in excellent condition, a clear, bright tangerine, even overall, just a few faint facial markings and a broken necklace.  A super girl, a credit to the breed in type, coat and intriguing temperament.
BROWN TORTIE KITTEN  1 entered.   BOB WILLMONT’S PENWYNKATZ SUNDAE SURPRISE  7 months 2 weeks.  A confident girl at ease in the show situation.  Firmly muscled body, heavier than her elegant appearance would indicate, slender legs leading to small, oval feet, tail appears a little thick at this stage.  Head has a wedge shape with a very firm, blunt muzzle, good width at the cheek bones, gently rounded top of head.  Largish ears continue the lines of the face, tilting forward and with rounded tips.  Eyes are large, correctly shaped and spaced wide apart, yellow chartreuse in tone.  Both eyes and ears most expressive and responsive.  In profile I would have liked a little more depth in the head; nose break acceptable.  Coat texture superb being soft and fine, short and showing a healthy sheen, well blended tones of varying shades of brown and red.  I liked her extrovert character.
AOC TORTIE KITTEN.  2 entered.  1  BOB  HERRINGTON’S SUGARBOWL MY DELILAH (27h)  7 months 2 weeks.  A super girl and my nomination for BOV kitten.  She was self assured and beautifully presented.  A heavy, well muscled girl though just a little on the plump side.  Elegant legs with small, oval feet and tail of correct length and thickness to balance.  Blunt, short, wedge shaped head  with gently rounded dome between moderate ears which continue the outer lines of the face, rounded at the tips and tilting forward slightly.  Expressive eyes, a clear, deep yellow tone, large with a straight, almost horizontal upper line and more rounded lower line, set well apart.  In profile generous depth in the skull, definite nose break though the nose rolls off a little at the tip, deep and level chin.  Soft and fine coat, short, close lying and with a healthy sheen, well mingled pale tones of milk chocolate and red.  She had a sparkling, friendly character.  2  PALLISTER’S  PENWYNKATZ GOINGFORGOLD  (27j)  7 months 2 weeks.  Medium size to her body, just a little plump in the tum, elegant legs, small, oval feet, tail well shaped but slightly short for balance, tapering gently to a rounded tip.  Head rather round in shape, broad at the jaw hinge and over the gently curved top, medium ears not quite continuing the outer facial lines.  Clear tone to the oval eyes, set well apart. Very short coat showing more warm cream than lilac, today lacking the required fine and soft texture.  I feel this girl did not present herself well today, I believe she was calling and maybe had other things on her mind.
AV FOREIGN BREEDERS KITTEN  3 entered.  1  KINDELL & HAWTHORN’S GRIZABELLA LADY LYNDA  2  HOOLE’S REXTACULAR FIZZYLIZZY  3  JOHNSON’S KASHYK CZAR DOMBROVSKI. 
AV NOVICE NEUTER   2 entered.  1  EDMOND’S GR CH NOTTERTS NANCY (33a27x)  Female  4 years 6 months.  Confident, mature and with an impish expression yet amenable and easy to handle.  Large body of moderate length, broad across the chest, slightly plump now, hard and well muscled.  Slim legs, the rear legs being longer; tapering tail of correct length to balance.  Slender neck.  Head shows a short wedge with well defined whisker break.  Flat top with rounding over the brow, very strong stop, level, deep chin.  Large ears showing required tufts, muffs and wide base, rounded tips and starting at the level of the eye.  Large, oval eyes sweeping in a slant towards the ear, clear yellow in tone.  Coat has a soft texture, short and showing tight waves over the body, legs and tail, slightly shorter and more loosely waving on belly.  Whiskers and eyebrows well crinkled.  2  DAY’S MAIPENRAI  DOC FLOWER  (34)  10 months 1 week.  An appealing girl with breadth in the upper part of her face, short nose showing slight downward curve, minimal stop.  Muzzle a little fine and the chin could be slightly stronger.  Ears and bright green eyes show required shape, size and set.  Medium length, glossy coat, mid blue with some silver  tipping .  A relaxed, friendly lass.

Mrs J Tonkinson

Many thanks to Judith and Beryl for the invitation to judge once again at this show, although the entry was down there was a very friendly atmosphere in the hall and everything seemed to run very efficiently. Sadly it seems all the shows are suffering from the recession as I know only too well as a show manager myself. My steward was Richard Lord who as always is excellent at his job and really good company, thank you Richard once again, always a pleasure.

Sweet natured girl well presented.

ORIENTAL CINNAMON NEUTER
1 PC & BOB LOWELL’S PR SUSPIRIA WILLIAM BECKFORD 37k MN 21/4/07 huge cinnamon boy with medium wedge and large well placed ears and bright green oriental eyes, straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Really big body with sound rich warm cinnamon coat that is a fraction long but in excellent condition and lies well, long legs with neat paws and long whip tail. I think I have said so much about this boy before and I love him to bits he has a super nature a truly big gentle giant but he really needs to watch his figure now, he almost fills every inch of his double pen and he has rather lost the overall elegance required of the breed which is a pity and my reason for not rewarding him in the Grand class.

AV ORIENTAL DEBUTANTE ADULT
1 SAXON’S SHADOWSQUAD KONNIE 37 F 4/7/08 quite a shy little queen who is only just adult, nice head with huge flared ears that are well set and oriental deep green eyes just a fraction full with surprise, straight profile with good chin and level bite, she just has a slight teething pinch to her muzzle when viewed from the front.

Nice length of firm little body with sound black coat short and close lying, long legs and neat little paws, I just felt that she would have been more complete with another half an inch on the length of her stringy tail, but still a promising baby girl full of mischief.

AC SIAMESEOR BALINES ADULT NOT HAVING WON CC
1 SIMPSON’S MYLYNN MATINEE IDOL 24b M 4/1/08 young chocolate point boy with quite good head and large wide based ears of good set, bright blue oriental eyes just a fraction full in shape, straight profile with good depth of chin and level bite and basically complete chocolate mask, he is just inclined to have suspicion of a slightly spectacled appearance around the eyes. Long slender body with ivory coat in nice condition if a fraction long, there is some tonal shading to his lower back. Slender legs and neat paws with quite well matched chocolate stockings that are slightly paler than his mask and ears, good length of whip like tail to balance. Good natured boy well presented, he just needs to fill out and mature he still has a rather adolescent demeanour.
2 RICHARDSON’S PENDLEMIST HI GRISSOM 24a M 27/4/08 very active and inquisitive young male with quite a stylish head with large wide based ears and roman profile, good chin and level bite and lovely deep blue oriental eyes with full dark blue mask. Slender body of quite good length and a really short close coat that is very heavily shaded but nice condition, long legs with neat paws again with dark blue stockings and a long whippy tail. However, I felt that as a whole package he was really quite small for his age and gender, certainly he lacked overall balance his head although typy is small in proportion to his body which in turn needs to fill out and mature, my feeling is that he has lots of growing still to do.
3 WITHERS SAMSARA CHARME 32.1 M 5/12/07 very friendly young seal tabby point boy and although his head is well shaped with large wide based ears showing clear thumb prints, deep blue oriental eyes that are rather deep and slightly straight set, straight profile with a quite shallow chin but clean level bite, eye ribbons scarab to brow and whisker spots all present as a whole his head is rather small at the moment in comparison to the rest of his body. Fair size and length of body but his coat is very shaded, longer than desired and rather open, long legs and neat paws with well defined leg bracelets and well ringed long whippy tail. I just felt that he is still very adolescent and rather out of balance right now and he is slightly effeminate, everything needs time to come back into proportion, lovely temperament and presentation.

4 BROCK’S ADSETAM YOKIO SAN 24b F 6/1/07 rather grumpy chocolate point girl with reasonable head and large wide at base ears of fair set, her eyes were quite full in shape as she expressed her displeasure but it seemed to improve the depth of blue colour, almost straight profile and fairly good chin, her bite appeared level but I could not be certain without risking a finger, full dark chocolate mask and ears. Mature long muscular body with ivory coat that is a fraction long and quite shaded although of good smooth lie and condition.

Bright clear blue oriental eyes and straight profile with good chin and level bite, complete mask that is well matched to his ears. Long svelte body and lovely short close coat in excellent condition but really very heavily shaded for on so young. He stands quite tall on slender long legs and neat oval paws the colour here is perhaps slightly paler but the paws pads are quite a dull brick pink, good length of whip like tail well matched for colour. However, the whole picture is one that convinces me that he is apricot rather than cream and I did discuss it with two senior judges who agreed with my opinion.

Mrs L Walpole

FEMALE

IGP withheld 1st. MARTIN’S GR.CH. & GR.PR. WELLMAR KALEIDOSCOPE (22)  At almost 13 years this girl is now starting to show her age, having said that she is in very good condition.  Nice round head and good width between small ears.  Round eyes, pale yellow, well developed cheeks, short nose, incisors missing, but gums appeared level.  Small cobby body.  Coat rather long and open, quite good patching, with some mingling of colours in the cream especially.  Short tail.
