Mrs L Ashmore

Many thanks to the club and show team for my invitation.
The new venue was very smart but seemed to cause a few problems, however the team coped and everyone seemed to enjoy the day, I certainly did.
  
ORIGINAL FOREIGN PREMIER MALE
 
2 LOVELY EXAMPLES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE BREEDS.
 
GR.
ANDERSONS CH & GR PR ANNALOVA LEONID
Charming Russian Blue boy with nice expression to his lovely green eyes. Fairly good chin, level bite. Almost straight nose and prominent whisker pads. Slightly 'mobile ears'. Solid graceful body lines and correct limbs and tail. Very good coat for the time of year.
 
RES
HOWARDS GR PR KOORAHK TAWAHN
Well presented Korat. Very slightly longer nose with slight pink pigmentation on his leather. Chin could have a bit more depth, Teeth a little untidy. Well placed ears of good size. Good overall body shape and muscle tone. Lovely coat texture and desired silvering on his front. Very sweet gentle nature. Slight war wound on his left ear. A lovely boy, well shown.
 
ORIGINAL FOREIGN PREMIER FEMALE
 
1 GR W/H
HARVEYS GR PR FARODELL HARIET
Russian Blue who was very sweet but at over 14 was showing her age. 
Nice expression to pale eyes. Well set ears of good shape and fair size.
Lovely body conformation, limbs and tail. Coat very much a summer one and slightly harsh in texture. The certificate was withheld with much regret, she was such a sweetheart. 
   
2 WAKEFIELDS PR SITHEE JENNIE MAULVERN
A Russian Blue lady with bags of attitude, looking slightly sad today and not in the best of moods. This may have accounted for her slightly low ear set. Good body shape, paws and tail. Coat uneven in tone and not plush as desired.

My thanks to Beryl & Naomi for inviting me to the Lincoln, situated in the smart new venue this year. My husband Steve stewarded again, in his usual quiet competent way, my thanks to him for putting on the white coat once more.

IMPERIAL CLASS - AV SEMI-LONGHAIR GR PR NEUTER
IGP, BUNCE'S IGR PR COONTASTIC NIJINSKY, 64 31t, MN, 27.10.05
Brown Tabby & White Maine Coon. A beautifully balanced mature male with large tufted ears sitting high on a medium length head of good breadth. Large green eyes, set well apart and with a slight oblique setting. High set cheek bones with fairly full cheeks. Excellent shallow concave nasal curve to the nose. Square muzzle, firm deep chin. Long rectangular body, very well muscled, huge boning to limbs and large round feet. Long flowing tail, very well furnished and reaching the shoulders. Really glossy coat consisting of long guard hairs covering the undercoat, short over the shoulders and increasing down the body. Quite a full ruff framing the face, full breeches. Rich warm classic tabby pattern, very clearly marked, white to nose, muzzle, chin, underbody and all four feet. Super to handle and beautifully presented.
RESERVE, JONES' GR PR KADACOON GIZMO, 64 43dsw, MN, 25.10.06
Red Silver Shaded & White Maine Coon. Another strong and large male with a very substantial feel to him. Large ears, set just over an ear's width apart on the head and nicely furnished. Good breadth to the medium length head. Slightly obliquely set eyes, pale green in colour. Nicely filled cheeks. Nose has a shallow concave curve. Muzzle not quite as strong and defined as my winner's. Firm chin. Really large and long rectangular body shape, very well boned limbs and paws. Tail was very well furnished and easily reached the shoulders. Excellent coat, especially for the time of year, full ruff and breeches, coat shorter over the shoulders and increasing down the back and sides of the body. Very nice shaded pattern with silver base tipped with red, contrasting with the white. I just felt that Nijinsky had a stronger head overall today. Gizmo was another very well groomed boy who was nice to handle.

IMPERIAL CLASS - AV SEMI-LONGHAIR GR PR NEUTER FEMALE
IGP, BUNCE'S GR PR KEVERSTONE CLEMENTINE, 64 31et, FN, 11.02.07
Tortie-Tabby & White Maine Coon. This girl shows a great deal of maturity for two years old, with a really strong head of very good length to breadth ratio and well filled cheeks. Quite large ears, sitting just over an ear's width apart on the head, nicely furnished. Large pale green eyes, very bright and expressive, sitting in a good slight oblique set. Shallow concave curve to the nose. Well defined square muzzle, firm deep chin. Long body, weighty and muscular, lovely rectangular shape. Large solid boning to legs, big round tufted paws. Tail balanced body length well, reaching the shoulders, nicely furnished. Full coat, with a long ruff around the neck, coat showing an increase in length down the back and sides of the body, full breeches. Very attractive coat colours, a mingled mixture of red and brown tabby, combining both patches and mingled areas. Well marked classic tabby pattern. White to chin, chest, bib, tummy and some white on all four feet. A little on the shy side, though her confidence grew as we handled her and she handled well on the table. Presented in tiptop condition.
RESERVE, ASHWORTH'S UK GR CH & UK IGR PR EMERISLE DIAMANTE, 66 31, FN, 02.03.00
Seal Bi-Colour Ragdoll. One of my favourite girls, immaculately presented yet again. Lovely head type, showing a flat plane between medium sized ears which sit with a slightly forward tilt. Strong broad head with well developed cheeks and a very well defined rounded muzzle. Large expressive stunning deep blue eyes, set slightly obliquely. Gentle dip to the medium length nose. Firm chin. Medium sized body, in balance with the head. When I judged her a few months ago, I felt that she had lost some weight, and whilst she now looks much better, she could still do with a little more down the spineline and this was the main reason for her placing today. Nicely boned limbs, round paws. Bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Another female in full coat with a beautiful ruff around the neck and a dense silky coat to the body, ending with long knickerbockers. Well marked inverted 'v' to the face, white along the entire length of the underbody and white limbs with the exception of a coloured spot on the left back hock. Dark beige body colour, showing contrast with the dark seal brown points. Wonderful to handle.

AC BIRMAN CHAMPION ADULT MALE
GRC, GARDINOR'S GR CH PANJANDRU, FUEGO, 13c5, M, 13.08.00.
Red Point Birman. This eight year old male had a strong broad rounded skull with full round cheeks, tapering to a well developed muzzle. Medium sized ears, set wide apart on the head. Large eyes, not quite round in shape, two toned blue with mid blue centres and slightly paler rims. Medium length nose with a slight dip, small nose bump present. Full chin, could be a little firmer for perfection. Good long weighty body, nicely boned limbs and short strong paws. Tail in balance with the body, well furnished and bushy. Currently in summer coat, some ruff present around the neck, coat was medium in length with a silky texture. Rounded shape to gloves on the front feet, ending below the angle of paw and leg. Nicely marked socks covering the back feet, gauntlets tapered and ended about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks. Quite a rich shade of red to the ears. Tail, mask and limbs slightly paler than the ear colour, all show contrast with the pale cream body colour. Small amount of red top shading over the back. Well groomed and nice to handle.
RESERVE, WHITBY'S GR CH SUCETTE PRINCE VALIANT, 13c4, M, 13.07.07
Lilac Point Birman. This boy was a little unbalanced today, partly because he is currently out of coat, due to the time of year. He has a lovely head type and expression, broad rounded skull with full round cheeks tapering to a well developed muzzle and full chin. Medium sized ears, sitting well apart on the head. Lovely large expressive deep blue eyes, good almost round shape. Medium length nose with a slight dip in profile, small bump and drop-off towards the end. I would consider the body to be medium sized and I would like to see him a little larger overall, though it does give the impression of length to the body. Medium length legs, short strong paws. Bushy tail, could be marginally longer for perfection. Off-white coat, currently in typical summer coat with a shorter ruff around the neck. Pinkish grey points, tail slightly orange toned in comparison to the other points. Very well marked feet with gloves ending in straight lines just below the angle of leg and paw on both feet. Socks covered the back feet, gauntlets were full and finished about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks, slightly rounded at the end rather than truly tapering. Great to handle.

AC BIRMAN CHAMPION ADULT FEMALE
Two very nice girls, little to choose between them and it came down to the finer points, such as ear set and feet markings today to split them up in this class.
GRC, MCSLOY'S CH MAGENTA LILAC MIST, 13c4, F, 16.05.01
Lilac Point Birman. This eight year old female had a very nice rounded head shape with very good breadth to the skull and wide set ears of good medium size. Very well filled cheeks, well developed muzzle, full chin. Medium shade of blue to large, almost round eyes. Good slight dip to a nose of medium length. Long body, good weight and muscularity, nicely boned limbs, short strong paws. Tail was just about in balance with the body, it was well furnished and bushy. Long off-white coat, though like many cats at the show, she was moulting heavily because of the time of year. Well defined pinkish grey points, even in depth all round including the limbs and tail. Left glove was a fraction longer than the right, though this still ended at the angle of leg and paw. Right glove was rounded in shape. Nicely marked socks covering the back feet, full gauntlets, quite even in length. A very affectionate girl indeed, she just loved to be cuddled.
RESERVE, GARDINOR'S CH ATAKAD AIM FORFAME, 13c2, F, 22.04.01
Blue Point Birman. Another eight year old, also in very good condition indeed. Good broad round skull, strong yet feminine. Medium sized ears, she did tend to hold them a little on the high side, though set was better when she relaxed. Large blue eyes, a little paler in tone than those of my winner, though set well and large in size. Full round cheeks, slight dip to the nose which was of good medium length. Well developed muzzle, full chin. Long body, very good weight and substance, solid boning to medium length, thick set limbs, short strong paws. Balanced bushy tail. Fairly full ruff framed the face. Coat of medium length to the body, some darker blue top shading to the bluish white body colour. Points contrasted well, similar depth of tone all round and quite a deep shade of blue grey. Gloves were rounded in shape, ending below the leg/paw angle. Left sock was a little longer than the right. Gauntlets ended about halfway up to the hocks, rounded at the end rather than really tapering to end in points. Very well presented indeed.

CHOCOLATE OR LILAC POINT BIRMAN ADULT
CC & BOB, MCSLOY'S CH MAGENTA LILAC MIST, 13c4, F, 16.05.01.Lilac Point Birman. Reported above.

AC NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT ADULT MALE
All three boys were born within days of each other and so comparison age for age was easy in this class.
CC & BOB, CARTER'S NOYNAROCK ODIN OF KAJULAZ, 67 31t, M, 02.06.08
Brown Tabby & White. A very nice young man all round, with a super NFC expression - he really looks down his nose at you. Large ears, high and open, nicely furnished and set in line with the outline shape of the triangular head. Slightly rounded forehead. Large oval shaped eyes, green in colour and set in a very good oblique set. Excellent long ruler straight nasal profile. Chin could be a little firmer though the bite was level. Long and very muscular body, solid boning to legs and paws, he stands slightly higher on the back legs. Very well balanced tail, easily reaching the shoulders, very well furnished with a bushy texture. Some ruff around the neck, quite full knickerbockers. Coat has quite a lot of glossy, slightly coarser guardhairs, some undercoat evident over the body. White to lips, underbody and feet, contrasting with the brown tabby. Very easy to handle, a promising young man.
2ND MILWARD'S NORSKFAE SHOELESS JOE, 67 31at, 01.06.08
Blue Tabby & White. Not quite as well grown as my winner, though he does have 'the look'. Really large ears, set high and open, well furnished. Clear triangular head shape of very good overall length for age. Obliquely set green eyes, very pleasing oval shape. Another boy with a lovely long straight line to the nose and slightly rounded forehead. I would like to see a slightly stronger and deeper chin. Long body, nice weight for size. Quite large boning to legs, round tufted paws. Really long bushy tail, unfortunately he has a small fixed defect towards the tip. Coat qualities developing very well, he already has a slightly harsher topcoat, woolly undercoat developing (young cat in the summer months). Ruff developing, quite full knickerbockers. Whilst coat colour is irrelevant, he is actually a blue silver tabby & white, not a blue tabby & white, with about 50:50 tabby to white including a full white collar and white limbs. Another well presented boy who was nice to handle.
3RD SPENCE'S BABETTE'S SANDY, 67 16, M, 07.06.08
Blue. A really large and very substantial male with wonderful boning and body length. Large ears, open and the base and set high, well furnished, sitting in line with the outside lines of the head. Head was quite triangular in shape, though at the moment, his muzzle is a little square which detracts from the overall triangular head shape. He does puff out his whisker pads, which makes it look worse than it actually is when the boning is felt. Personally I would like to see a little more overall length to the head and slightly more tapering to the muzzle area. Green eyes, oval shaped, they could be set a little more obliquely for perfection. Nose shows a very slight change in direction rather than being truly ruler straight. Good firm deep chin. I suspect that his head balance will be much better once breadth develops fully over the top of the head, and at that stage he should look very nice. However, the head accounts for 40 points in the SOP and today I felt that his head was the least developed of the three cats present, hence the placing. He has a wonderful body, long and powerful with excellent substance and muscularity, really large solid boning to limbs and feet, and a bushy tail that easily reaching the shoulders and balanced body length well. Coat typically on the shorter side at the moment, though he does have some woolly undercoat and coarser guardhairs, especially over the back. Some ruff and knickerbockers present. This boy does show potential and hopefully his head will show more balance as he matures. Beautifully presented and lovely to handle.

AC NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT ADULT FEMALE
CC, THOMAS' JHARDUFAE MISTY MORNING, 67 31at, F, 21.07.06
Blue Tabby & White. An impressive mature female showing plenty of substance and very good size. Large ears, set very well on the head, high and open at the base. Clear equilateral triangular head shape, showing a long straight line to the nose and slightly rounded forehead. Obliquely set green eyes, initially appearing a little bold, though much better shape and set once she relaxed. Whilst the nose had a good straight line, it was a little bulbous towards the tip when viewed from the front. Chin could be a little firmer for perfection, to really balance the rest of the head. Really substantial long body, super weight and muscularity. Well boned limbs, back legs slightly longer than the front ones. Beautifully furnished bushy tail, easily reaching the shoulders. Ruff present around the neck, some woolly undercoat evident and she has a good slightly coarser topcoat present. White flash up the nose, with white to bib, tummy and feet. Medium shade of blue tabby to the head, body and tail. Nice to handle and shown in lovely condition.
2ND FRASER-SMITH'S NORSKMAGI VENETIA, 67 36, F, 24.07.08
Black Smoke. This young lady was very well grown indeed for just eleven months old. Large ears, still sitting a little close together, as expected as her full head breadth is yet to come, and they should sit very well indeed once her mature head breadth develops. Head generally triangular in shape, still typically on the narrower side, though overall length is very good. Obliquely set green eyes, oval in shape. Good straight line to the nasal profile, slightly rounded forehead. She does have a tendency to puff out the whisker pads, though the boning in the muzzle area does tapers when felt. Firm deep chin. Lovely body length and boning. She stands slightly higher on the back legs. Long tail, bushy furnishings already developed well. Coat length developing, some ruff present around the neck, quite long knickerbockers. Coat shorter over the body, little undercoat at the moment (age and time of year), good slightly harsher guardhairs evident. I felt that her coat length and texture were very promising for such a young female. This girl shows a lot of potential and I would like to mention her very good smoke pattern, even though colour does not carry any points. Easy to handle and well presented.
3RD THOMAS' JHARDUFAE LIGHTNIN STRIKES, 67 31t, F, 21.07.06
Brown Tabby & White. This girl was not happy today and very unsure of her surroundings, making her a little difficult to assess. Lovely triangular head shape with large ears, nicely furnished and set in line with the outside edge lines of the skull. Large oval shaped eyes, set in a very good oblique set. Nasal profile shows a slight change in direction, rather than being ruler straight. Chin could be a little firmer. Lovely body length and substance. Nicely boned legs and round paws. Tail was well furnished and bushy, reaching the shoulders. Quite a full ruff around the neck, typical slightly shorter summer coat, little undercoat evident, though she did have a glossy, slightly harsher topcoat. Today she wasn't really showing us her best side, though she was very well groomed for the show.

TABBY OR TORTIE-TABBY POINT BIRMAN NEUTER
PC & BOB, COLLINGWOOD'S GR CH & PR TARKISHA TAMANTHI 13c12, FN, 28.04.99
Blue Tabby Point Birman. Ten years old, and this girl was in lovely condition. Size-wise she was bigger than some of the males I handled today, yet she retains femininity. Medium sized ears, set wide apart on a strong broad rounded skull. Very well developed full round cheeks, good slight dip in profile to the medium length nose. Large bright eyes, quite a deep shade of blue, set very well and not quite round in shape. Chin quite full, recedes very slightly. Really nice body, long and with a very solid feel to her. Thick-set limbs, medium in length, ending with short strong paws. Bushy tail, proportionate to body length. Currently mounting, her bluish-white coat had quite a silky texture and was medium in length, with a ruff around the neck. There was some darker blue top shading evident over the back and sides. Well developed blue tabby points, thumb marks evident on the ears, she had spectacles around the eyes, an 'm' on the forehead and spotted whisker pads. Broken stripes are clearly visible on the limbs and she had some rings to the tail with a solid blue tip. Left glove ended in a straight line just below the angle of the paw/leg, right glove ended slightly lower than the left. Nicely marked socks covering the feet, gauntlets tapered well, ending about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks. Though a little tense, she allowed us to handle her. Very well groomed for the show.

MAINE COON BROWN/BLUE TABBY (INC BI-COLOUR) NEUTER MALE
BOB, BUNCE'S IGR PR COONTASTIC NIJINSKY, 64 31t, MN, 27.10.05.
Brown Tabby & White Maine Coon. My Male Imperial winner.
PC, STANTON'S COCOON RUSTIBLUEOFTHE ROVERS, 64 20, MN, 06.08.06
Brown Tabby. I see now that this is the lad I placed 2nd at Durham back in May, and at that time I did say that he was well worthy of a PC, so it was pleasing to see that he got it today. Lovely large male with a very gentle and affectionate temperament. Large, nicely furnished ears, set a little over an ear's width apart on the head. He does have a tendency to flare the ears, though they come up once his attention is gained by using the teaser. Medium length head, showing good breadth with fairly full cheeks. Large green eyes, set well apart and in a slight oblique setting. Nose has a shallow concave curve, small nose bump present. Square muzzle, firm chin of nice depth. Lovely long rectangular shaped body, muscular and with a substantial feel to it. Very well boned limbs and big round tufted paws. Long flowing tail, very well furnished and balancing body length well. Full ruff framing the face, coat shorter over the shoulders and increasing in length down the back and sides of the body, ending with full breeches. He has some undercoat present and a nice glossy topcoat. Beige agouti with black classic markings, some bridling evident within the markings. Slightly solid down the spineline. Very well presented and great to handle. He really did enjoy all the attention today.
2ND WILKINSON'S JULESCOON WISCONSIN, 64 41, MN, 15.06.08
Classic Brown Tabby. A nice young man with vivid bright green eyes. Large ears, sitting about an ear's width apart on the head and very well furnished with tips and tufts. Head slightly shorter than my winner's, breadth developing well, cheeks not quite as well filled, though he does have plenty of time for cheek development, being only fifteen months old. Large green eyes, set slightly obliquely and well apart. Nasal profile shows a very shallow concave curve, ideally I would like a touch more curve for perfection. Well defined square muzzle, firm deep chin. Long body, well boned limbs and very well tufted round paws. Tail easily reached the shoulders, furnished well with a flowing texture. Very good coat length for the time of year with ruff and breeches. The coat was glossy and there was evidence of some undercoat. The coat would have benefited from a little more separation, though this could have been due to the warm weather and the heat in the hall. Warm beige agouti base colour with black classic tabby markings that were well defined. Very easy to handle.

MAINE COON BROWN/BLUE TABBY (INC BI-COLOUR) NEUTER FEMALE
PC, JONES' KADACOON LIZA WENDELLIE, 64 41, FN, 19.06.07
Classic Brown Tabby. A very large and substantial female indeed, with a wild, feral, hunting expression. Strong head of medium length, showing good length to breadth ratio and fairly full cheeks which were set high. Large ears, well furnished and sitting about an ear's width apart. Vivid green eyes, large and set in a good slight oblique set. Very nice nasal profile showing a shallow concave curve. Very well defined square muzzle leading to a firm deep chin. Large and long rectangular body, very weighty indeed, deceptively heavy and muscular. Really large boning to legs, round tufted paws. Balanced tail, nicely furnished and reaching the shoulders. Full ruff and breeches. Currently in full coat, shorter over the shoulders and increasing in length down the back and sides of the body. Glossy topcoat covering the undercoat. Classic tabby markings present over the face, limbs, tail and sides of the body, though she is rather solid down the back line. Cool beige agouti base colour with black markings.

Mr P Cornish

Many thanks to Beryl and Naomi for the invitation to judge at this friendly show, and many thanks to the treasurer for driving my wife and I to Lincoln station. My grateful thanks to Sheryl for stewarding for me today, she is so well organised even to providing me with first aid after I was surprisingly bitten by a Korat, The owner of this Korat also accussed my steward of being entered in an open class under me and influencing my judging. I can assure her that I am never influenced by my steward and resent this statement; also Sheryl was not entered in any open class under me today. Sheryl handled the cats and kittens with gentle efficiency, kindness and consideration and was very good company on a pleasant day I look forward to working together again.

Mrs G Denny

To my steward Mr S Parkin I offer my grateful thanks for stepping in to assist me and for his support up to the end of the show. The new venue certainly appeared popular with the visitors and one hopes it all proved successful to the benefit of the club.

Mrs S Devereux

What a lovely show in a superb new venue, many thanks to Beryl, Naomi and the committee for my invitation to judge. I would also like to extend my thanks to Sue Amor, who came especially to steward for me. All good wishes to you in your quest to become a PJ of Tonkinese. I was desperately disappointed not to be able to judge two of my exhibits entered in two of my opens today, they were so very upset, both looked to be of CC status, but without being able to handle them I could not properly access them either, hence neither of them was placed. I sincerely hope that it was a transient thing for both of them.

A very enjoyable show with some cats of the highest quality; I would like to thank Beryl, Naomi and their team for the invitation and excellent hospitality. I was most grateful to Lizz Benson for her hard work and very pleasant company as my steward and look forward to another day working together.
AV SLH GRAND CHAMPION, MALE
1 IGC PORTSMOUTH’S GR CH CHURSTON MUSCAR CRISPEN, 13C5, M, 16.8.2006
An impressive and masculine Birman of excellent size and substance; the head was strong with breadth of skull and rounded contours. The ears were medium in size and spaced well apart. Medium length nose had a slight dip. The cheeks were full and round; they tapered to a strong, well developed muzzle. The chin was reasonably full but sloped away a fraction when viewed in profile. The eyes were large, almost round and very expressive. They were a beautiful deep blue. He was long in the body which was large, solid and muscular with medium length, sturdy legs and a bushy tail of balanced length. He was wearing his summer coat but still had a ruff to frame the face and the texture was silky. The points were a bright, clear red with a pale creamy body showing plenty of contrast. Well shaped gloves and gauntlets; he was presented in excellent condition and had a lovely temperament.
RES: GARDINOR’S GR CH PANJANDRUM FUEGO, 13C5, M, 13.8.2000
Another very handsome and impressive male who was looking good for his age and who had the size and substance so desirable in the breed. He ran the winner very close but just lost a few points because he had a slight bump on the profile. He is of the quality I would award him the Imperial in different company and that was why he received the Reserve award. He was beautifully presented in excellent condition and had a delightful temperament.
AV SLH GRAND CHAMPION, FEMALE
1 IGC METHVEN’S GR CH LADYPAWS MARSHMALLOW, 13C10, F, 9.2.2007
A very attractive and balanced Birman female who had excellent type and style. The head had breadth with rounded contours and medium sized ears set well apart. The nose was of medium length with a slight dip to the profile. Her cheeks were full and round and her muzzle well developed with a good chin. The eyes were large, almost round and set well. Their colour was a beautiful deep blue and the expression soft and gentle. Long body that was well muscled and had substance. Her legs were of medium length with strong paws. The tail was bushy and in proportion to the body. Excellent coat quality, it was a good length and silky in texture. She had a full ruff around her neck and she had been beautifully prepared and presented. Very pretty blue tortie points and she had pristine gloves and gauntlets. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC BRITISH GRAND PREMIER, FEMALE
1 GPR CHANDLER’S GR PR KOLINGA BLUEBELLA, 28, FN, 4.6.2007
A gorgeous blue-cream British with type and style, this female was cobby and strong yet had a really sweet, feminine expression. She was compact with solid muscle and excellent boning. The head showed lovely breadth of skull and her face was round with full cheeks. The ears were small, rounded at the tips and set well apart in the rounded contours of the head. In profile, the forehead was rounded and the nose short, broad and straight. There was very good depth to the chin. Her eyes were large, round and well-opened; the bright orange tone was most attractive. Excellent body showing a short, level back and excellent depth to the chest. She stood low on short, strong legs with round paws. The tail was thick and of medium length with a rounded tip. The coat was short and dense, perhaps slightly soft, but I did forgive that because I felt it was seasonal. Excellent soft blue and cream that was very well intermingled. Excellent condition and temperament, I felt she was everything I like to see in a British – the finished article!!!
AC BIRMAN PREMIER, MALE
1 GPR/WH STABLES’ PR RIVANNA CLOUDSHADOW, 13C4, MN, 3.11.2005
A handsome cat who had been beautifully prepared and presented but I felt, when the ruff was smoothed back I would have liked more breadth to the head and fullness to the cheeks for the “Grand” award. The ears were of medium size and set spaced well, but he tended to hold them high until he relaxed back in his pen. The profile showed a very slight dip. The eyes were oval rather than almost round and the colour was china blue. Long body with a firm, muscular feel and strong boning to the medium legs. The tail was bushy and of balanced length. Lovely coat quality, it was long, silky and full with an excellent ruff. The points were an attractive lilac and the body a clear magnolia. The gloves were low and a little uneven. The socks were low but the gauntlets well shaped. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC BIRMAN PREMIER, FEMALE
1 GPR WARDLE’S PR LUNABLEU CREME BRULEE, 13C1, FN, 15.9.2006
A really attractive and balanced female, I thought she had such a gentle, sweet expression. The head was nicely rounded and showed breadth of skull. Her ears were of medium size and set well apart. The nose was medium in length and had a slight dip in the profile. The cheeks were full and round and the muzzle well developed. Good chin. Excellent eyes that were large, almost round and an excellent depth of blue. Long body that was firm and muscular with substantial legs of medium length and a bushy tail that was in proportion. She had superb coat quality; it was long, silky and beautifully prepared and presented. The points were a warm seal brown and there was excellent contrast to the pale coat that had a slight golden hue. Neat and immaculate gloves and gauntlets. Excellent condition and temperament.
RES: COLLINGWOOD’S GR CH & PR TARKUSHA TAMANTHI, 13C12, FN, 28.4.1999

Very good eyes that were almost round, set well and a very good shade of blue. Muscular body with very good legs and tail. She had a summer coat that was a little short but silky in texture.

Excellent condition and temperament.
AO FOREIGN CHAMPION, FEMALE – This was a challenging class with two beautiful females.
1 GCC CROW & GOSS’ CH KAGURA AURORA, 68 45Q, F, 6.9.2007
An excellent example of the breed, this female was elegant and balanced with moderate Foreign type. The head formed a short, balanced wedge with width at the cheekbones and a blunt finish to the muzzle. The top of the head was gently rounded with medium sized ears, broad based and rounded at the tips, set wide apart to continue the lines of the upper part of the face. There was lovely depth between the top of the head and the lower jaw; the brow was gently curved and there was a distinct nose break. Good chin. The eyes were really expressive; they were large, lustrous and set well apart. The top line slanted towards the nose and the lower line was nicely rounded. The colour was chartreux. Excellent body that was slender and of medium length with a firm, muscular feel. She had a straight back and a generously rounded chest. Slender legs with oval paws and a plume tail. The coat quality was exceptional; it was a good length, very fine and silky in texture so it lay flat along the spine with a gloss and then flowed down her sides to give that attractive “fringed” look. She had sufficient ruff and breeches to balance the SLH look but without appearing “fluffy”. The coat was evenly ticked with triple bands of rich dark seal on a creamy beige ground. She had a darker area down her spine line extending to a dark tail tip. The belly and inside of her legs was a warm, creamy beige. Attractive facial markings enhanced her expressive eyes. She was presented in sparkling condition and was confident and serene.
RES: PETERS’ CH BUGGIBA ELLIECHLO GABBIE, 72 45EQ, F, 13.8.2006
A very attractive female of really good Asian type and style. The head formed a short wedge with a reasonably blunt finish to the muzzle. There was width at the cheekbones. The top of the head was slightly rounded with medium ears set well apart. They were broad at the base, rounded at the tips and had a slight forward tilt when viewed in profile. The forehead was gently rounded and she had a distinct nose bread. Good depth to the chin. She had expressive eyes of excellent shape and set. The colour was chartreux. Excellent body with firm muscle tone but also with feminine elegance. Very good legs and tail. Lovely coat quality, it was short, fine and close lying with a healthy gloss. Most attractive ticked pattern with a base of coppery brown broken with pale red and well defined ticking in warm seal brown and red. Shown in excellent condition and with a delightful temperament.
AO FOREIGN PREMIER, MALE
1 GPR MCCARTEN’S PR AGAPIMOU BLACK ARCHIMEDES, 72, MN, 27.3.2008
A handsome, strong but elegant male with type and style. The head was balanced and formed a short wedge with a blunt finish. There was width at the cheekbones and jaw hinge. The top of the head was gently rounded with large, broad based ears set well apart to continue the lines of the upper part of the face. The brow was gently curved with a distinct nose break and good depth to the chin. I really liked his eyes; they were large, lustrous and set wide apart. The top line slanted towards the nose and the lower line was rounded. The colour was golden which I think looks so striking. Slender body which felt hard, lithe and muscular with elegant legs and oval paws. The tail was a balanced length to give overall proportion. The coat was very good; it was short, fine and glossy, jet black and virtually sound – it really did resemble simmering patent leather. Well presented in sparkling condition and with an excellent temperament.
RES: PARRY’S PR NWELA FRECKLES, 73BS, MN, 21.5.2008
Medium sized Ocicat that was athletic and lithe. The head was slightly longer than its width and formed a modified wedge with a slight curve from muzzle to cheek. Slight dip to the profile and a gentle rise from the bridge of the nose to the brow but then there was a slight bump on the nose. The muzzle had breadth and he had a good chin. Moderate whisker pinch. The ears were quite large, correctly set and well spaced. The eyes were large, almond shaped with a slight angle towards the ears. He had a solid, muscular body with length. Good legs and tail. The coat was moderately short, shiny and close-lying. The spotting was well defined against the silvery ground. Well defined facial markings that enhanced his expression. Excellent condition and temperament.
AO FOREIGN PREMIER, FEMALE
1 GPR MORELAND’S PR TOBYDEN FANTASIA, 76 30, FN, 4.6.2007
A really impressive Bengal who was sleek and muscular with a superb coat for colour, contrast, pattern and quality. The medium wedge had breadth and balance with rounded contours and was slightly longer than its width. The head did appear slightly small in proportion to the body which enhanced her wild appearance. The forehead had a gentle curve and there was a slight concave curve to the profile. The nose was broad and the leather slightly puffed. Lovely muzzle that was full and broad with pronounced whisker pads. Good chin. The ears were of medium size, rather short with width at the base and rounded tips. They were well set and followed the contours of the face with a slight forward tilt. Expressive eyes that were oval in shape and set with a slight slant. Excellent body with strong legs and a superb tail that was THICK and even!!!Gorgeous coat that was short, really dense and soft. The pattern was well defined in dark brown against the really rich rufous orange ground colour. Excellent facial markings and clear rosettes to the body. She really did seem to have gold dusting all over her body which caught the light in the excellent conditions of the show hall, making her sparkle! Excellent condition and she had a delightful, friendly, affectionate temperament.
RES: PARRY’S PR PARDALIS GENESIS, 73B, FN, 2.6.2008
An attractive Ocicat with a charming personality. Very good type and balance overall but there was a slight bump on the profile and the chin could be firmer. The head formed a modified wedge with a good square muzzle. Very expressive eyes and well set ears. Lithe, muscular body with very good legs and tail. The coat was short, sleek and close-lying. Lovely rich chocolate spotting on a pale copper agouti ground. There was good contrast between the markings and the ground. Some linkage apparent on the sides. Excellent condition and temperament.

CHOCOLATE OR LILAC POINT BIRMAN NEUTER, FEMALE
I did consider exhibit 69 for the BOB award, she had been entered in my Grand class. She looked very pretty when viewed “straight on” but there was a bump on her nose and her profile was “roman”. There was a ridge on her forehead and then a small depression behind that. Beautiful lilac points and lovely contrast to the body. Excellent condition and presentation.
AOC MAINE COON NEUTER, MALE
I did consider exhibit 82 for the BOB but felt, on the day, he was eclipsed by the winner.
1 PR + BOB TAYLOR’S KADACOON FYTCHEY BEAR, 64 15, MN, 5.1.2008
I thought this young male was wonderful, he had excellent type and I just loved his expression. Excellent head of medium length with the width slightly less than the length; fairly full in the cheeks and his cheek bones were high giving definition to his square muzzle. Excellent ears that were large and set tall to give an alert appearance; they were wide at the base and tapered to appear pointed at the tips with excellent tufts and furnishings. His nose was of uniform width and there was a shallow concave curve at the nasal bridge when viewed in profile. Good depth and strength to the chin. Long, rectangular body with solid muscle tone and depth to the chest; he had a thick, muscular neck. The legs were in proportion with excellent boning and large, round, tufted paws. Excellent tail that was long, wide at the base and very well furnished. Outstanding coat quality; it was jet black with his undercoat covered by a more substantial and glossy top coat. Excellent ruff and his breeches and belly fur were full and shaggy. He was very handsome and impressive and posed regally in his pen.
AOC MAINE COON NEUTER, FEMALE
I did like the female neuter in pen 83 and considered her for the BOB award. She had good type but I would prefer more breadth of muzzle. Excellent coat quality and beautiful tortie tones mingling in the tabby pattern.
DEVON REX KITTEN, MALE
1 + BOB LOWELL’S NELSHAN SCARLET PIMPERNEL, 33A 31S, M, 23.2.2009
A promising kitten of very good type and expression; I really liked his pixie face! He had a short, broad wedge with high cheekbones and a strong muzzle with a defined whisker break. In profile, his brow curved back to a flat skull; he had a dip rather than a definite stop but there was depth to the chin. The ears were large and set fairly low; I would like them a little wider at the base but they tapered to rounded tips. Very expressive eyes that were large, oval and set wide apart; they slanted towards the outer edges of the ears and he had a wicked expression. Slender neck and excellent head carriage. His body was solid and muscular but slender and elegant with a broad chest. His legs were slim with neat, oval paws. The tail was long and tapering. Excellent coat quality with the waves still developing but they were deep. Some guard hairs on the lower spine. Excellent condition and cheeky personality.
2 PYWELL’S CURLYTOTS PARTY BOY, 33A 18, M, 26.3.2009
Viewed “face on” this kitten was really typy and appealing. His head looked really good with the most mischievous expression! Lovely ears and ear set. Sadly, when viewed in profile, his nose was too straight and the chin sloped away. Excellent body, legs and tail. He was well covered with very short fur but there were some shallow waves developing between the shoulder blades. Excellent condition and temperament.
DEVON REX KITTEN, FEMALE
1 READ’S ONAWAY HAVEYOU SEEN HER, 33A 36, F, 3.12.2008
Another Devon who looked good from the front and had lovely ears but needs a definite “stop” to the profile. She had a short wedge with breadth and high cheek bones. The muzzle had strength and she had a well defined whisker break. Her brow curved back to a flat skull and she had large ears with width at the base that tapered to rounded tips. Very expressive eyes. Slender neck and a very good, muscular body with depth to the chest and slim legs with neat, oval paws. Her coat was short, dense and soft in texture. She was well waved but they were not as deep as my BOB winner. Excellent condition and temperament.
2 BRAMLEY’S CURLYTOTS LILMISS MOOMIN, 33A, F, 26.3.2009
A very attractive baby who was the litter sister to the brown tabby boy in the Male Kitten Class. Very good type and balance but she tended to hold her ears high which spoiled the “look”. Again, she lacked a definite stop. Expressive blue eyes with a mischievous look (she was far too sweet to be wicked!). Excellent body, legs and tail. The coat was short, dense and soft. She was very well covered with short fur and the waves are developing. Excellent condition and temperament.
EGYPTIAN MAU KITTEN
1 + BOB DAVISON’S MAUOLOGY CRYSTAL, 78 30S, F, 24.2.2009
A very pretty and promising silver girl who was elegant but firm and muscular. The wedge was slightly rounded and of medium length with a rounded muzzle. The profile was marginally straight; the nose was of uniform width and the large, rounded almond shaped eyes were set straight in the head beneath a level brow giving her that unique worried look. The eye colour is developing well with green there around the pupils. The ears were of medium size and set well back on the head; they were broad based and fairly pointed with a slight flare. They continued the planes of the head when viewed from the front. Elegant neck and lovely head carriage. Her body was moderately long and graceful with a hard, muscular feel. She had elegant legs and dainty rounded paws. The tail was of medium length and tapered to a rounded tip. Excellent coat quality; it was of medium length, close-lying but with a resilient texture. Excellent clean silver with excellent contrast between the agouti ground and the black spots and markings. Very attractive pencilling to the face and a well defined scarab. Well defined and separate spots. Beautifully presented in sparkling condition and with a delightful temperament.

NEALE’S  CH POSITIVELY ZAMBEZI.  21-05-08.  This lad though still with a degree of growth & maturing to achieve was nonetheless very impressive & right where he should be in relation to his age, with the advantage of the most superb coat.  Despite his young age he has a lovely head, just to acquire the fullness that maturity will bring, cheeks developing well, rounded brow, good muzzle, chin & bite good.  Ears quite small & fitting well into the head shape without distorting in any way, very neat.  Stunning deep bright fiery orange eye colour, round & well open shape, if I was being really critical they could perhaps be a little larger.  Body has lovely compact shape & is well muscled, well proportioned legs & round paws, well balanced tail of medium length.  His coat was amazing, very short, extremely dense, wonderfully scrunchy texture, crackling beneath your fingers, by far the best I have had for a very long time.

Also Considered for BOB.  BREWER’S  CH ADVISH MOONSTONE-MAGIC. 
16-07-06. This lad was all a little out of sync.  The head more of a rounded wedge, requiring more fullness of the cheeks, yet with some jowling, muzzle requires a little more strength, rounded brow chin needs a little more depth.  Ears are a little on the generous size, set well apart albeit a little pricked.  Eyes more full wide oval than actually round, good larger size, the colour green with a slight hint of yellow.  Stands a little tall on the legs which could be more substantial, body requiring a little more substance & more compact shape, smaller round paws, his tail a medium length & could be heavier being rather tapered.  Coat long & requires more density the texture dry as opposed to crisp.  Colour requiring a pinker tone & very unsound.  Excellent temperament but not really in show condition.

2nd  MCEWEN’S  PENNYDOWN XCLUSIVE.  39.  12-07-08.  Black, difficult to believe these 2 girls were full sisters, this girl was extremely immature & looked more in keeping with a kitten of 7 months.

Ears smaller size, set well apart & quite low, tidy appearance.  Large well open eyes, round in shape & quite a good bold appearance, very light shade of blue.  Body still marginally on he long side as yet & still to broaden a little more, good bone to the legs & round paws, well proportioned moderately thick tail.  Coat could ideally be a little more stand away from the body & a little softer in texture to give a more full of life quality, has a small sticky area on the left side.  Cooler toned magnolia coat with slight amount of tonal flank shading, points of darker shade of lilac with some brindling & paler area to the muzzle.  Condition was excellent, very amicable temperament.  
2nd  Not Awarded.  3rd  PEARMAN’S  LINNEL THELOOK OFLOVE.  70 8 30.   27-07-08. Brown Spotted Exotic, this girl had a wonderful temperament but was extremely small & lacking in any degree of substance, her appearance more in keeping with 6- 7 months development.  Her type is very good, head small, rounded with good breadth to the cheeks, the skull has a small depression above the brow with small bump on the crown, deep stop, short nose, broad muzzle, good chin, bite a little under, her gums inflamed showing signs of gingivitis.  Lovely neat small ears which were well placed & did not distort her head shape, lovely tidy appearance.  Eyes large & well open, the shape round creating a bold appearance, excellent bright coppery colour. Body small & very narrow, long in relation to its size, the legs rather fine boned & small paws, balanced length but thin tail.  Coat is lacking density & appeared to have been stripped out, as a result it was somewhat dry & wispy as opposed to soft & full of life, with the area at the base of the tail very sparse.  Her pattern showing a slightly fuzzy effect to the facial markings, leg bracelets could be more sharply defined, tail rings just apparent on the underside, body pattern shows some evidence of very superficial spotting between the bands of agouti ticking on an agouti base, with no real contrast or clarity evident between the pattern & ground colour.  Her pattern elements looking a little grey & the ground was somewhat dull & lacked sparkle.  Her actual condition was excellent, very lively temperament, sadly too many problems on the day to justify a higher award.

Points of dark seal brown – bright reddish gold to mask and ears elsewhere it was very pale, some tonal shading to coat – this was rather dry and loose in texture.
Well presented and shows well.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE
1 CC and BOB WITHER’S STYPERSON STARGAZER  (32/1) 26/1/08 Seal tabby of good overall type – having very amorous intention and thus really showing off! Long wedge with ears that are well placed but could ideally be a little larger to balance the lines, bump to nose and tiny pinch evident, oriental eyes of good depth of blue, chin rounds very slightly but bite is level, long neck she was craning to good advantage and long body of good tone, fine whip tail. Points of dark warm seal – a little indeterminate on legs but shows faint thumbprints and smudged ribbons, good whisker spots, wide bands to tail and this half completely ringed, excellent coat qualities both for contrast and texture.
2 KINCAIDE’S MAFDET MOVIESTAR  (32/1) 4/10/08 Only just Adult this seal tabby miss and looking very kittenish at present. Medium wedge with large ears that are set forward, slight scoop to profile, chin rounds but bite ok, slightly full although good basic shape to eye, of pleasing depth of blue, firm slightly short as yet body, tail also needs another inch or two, fine legs and neat paws. Points unmatched being a warm dark seal to front and almost black toned to hocks and tail. Clear tabby tracings evident to mask – pinpoint spots and thumbprints, double ribbons, tail needs a few more complete rings though. Coat shows clear contrast and although a little long was of good texture.

TORTIE POINT SIAMESE ADULT
BOB only – awarded to:
BROCK’S GRCH KARAMUSHI TUTI FRUITY  (32b1) 4/8/07

TORTIE POINT SIAMESE KITTEN
2 (1 and BOB w/h) EDWARD’S ADRIQAM SHAMELESS MIMI (32b1) 13/1/09 Seal tortie shown in lovely condition but too many faults I am afraid for the 1st placing. Medium wedge with large ears set close and held high, square to muzzle with dip to profile, round pale eyes – the haws up fractionally as well. Chin shallow although bite ok, firm little body – a touch small for almost 6 months of age but of good weight and feel. Whip tail. Base colour rather cold but she shows lovely rich red breaks through the points and her coat was short and sleek – fitted her like a glove – and unshaded although this could do with a little more warmth to it.

CHOCOLATE POINT SIAMESE MALE NEUTER
1 (PC and BOB w/h) TURVEY’S PR STYPERSON BIJOU  (24b) 7/8/06   well nourished and presented choc gent. Medium wedge with large ears that are set too close to balance, excellent eye shape and depth of colour, small dip to profile, firm chin and level bite, long slightly portly body-line and tail although a good length is rather heavy. Points unmatched being of a warm dark chocolate to mask, ears and front legs and a very dark, almost seal tone, to neck legs and tail. Brindled to eyes also. Coat long and rather dry to the feel.

APRICOT POINT SIAMESE MALE NEUTER
1 PC and BOB CROWLEY/LAMBERT’S JOHPAS RAFAEL  (32fn) 9/5/08 Very elegant although substantial chap with a long wedge balanced by large well set ears and roman profile, chin ebbs away and bite is fractionally over, eyes of good shape and set, brilliant medium toned blue. Long neck – he was being very nosey! – Long substantial muscled body and whip tail, short close coat – gleaming in the sunlight! Points a re a very good typical apricot – having an almost blue haze to them, hot in tone, warm body with tonal shading and ghost spotting to sides.
  
AC ORIENTAL. SIAMESE OR BALINESE LIMIT CAT
1 BROCK’S KEVELS PURRSONALITY  (24) F 21/12/07 Strong medium wedge with large ears that could ideally be a little more open to the base, eyes of good shape and set, could ideally have a little more intensity to the medium toned blue and she was showing a squint, almost straight profile, slightly square to muzzle, good chin and clean level bite, proportionate body with fine whip tail. Points rather cold in tone and the body colour also lacks warmth however she showed good contrast. Coat of good length  - touch dry to the feel.

AC ORIENTAL, SIAMESE OR BALINESE CAT RESIDENT IN LINCS
1 OSBORNE’S CH KEVELS ISHIBEE TUMANI  (24) M 21/12/07 Quite a nicely balanced young man with a medium wedge m large ears that just need a little more width between, eye shape, set and colour good, good profile, chin shallow, bite ok, quite a pronounced pinch evident today, long neck and firmly muscled body, whip tail to balance. Points rather black in tone although even and matched – the stockings warmer, body has acceptable contrast and this was of a warmer hue, coat of good length but a touch coarse along spine.

AC ORIENTAL BREEDERS KITTEN
2 Oriental kittens of lovely type and style.
1 HUDSON’S SHADOWSQUAD GOINGFORGOLD  (37k) F 3/4/09 Cinnamon who was so self assured and confident. Strong little wedge with wide set open based ears, oriental eyes turning into a lovely shade of green, firm profile, chin rounds off slightly, bite level, long neck and firm little body in line with age, string like tail, impressively sound rich cinnamon coat. I shall watch her progress with interest.
2 MAISH’S CHIKUAI CALYPSO  (37h) F 23/10/08 A favourite of mine this choc tortie but today her mouth was worrying her – the DV could find nothing amiss but something was clearly paining her and as a result she was not full of her usual joie de vivre. Long wedge with wide set open based ears and lovely oriental green eyes, straight profile, tiny pinch, chin rounds slightly but bite is level. Long neck and firm little body – ideally I would like her larger at this age – fine spider legs and whip tail. Really rich warm choc and such wonderful bright red throughout – well broken and her coat short and gleaming.
I was pleased to speak to her Owner/Breeders later in the day and I hope they find out what is wrong.

AC SIAMESE OR BALINESE KITTEN NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR
Wrong colour to EXHIBIT NO.300 – Entered as choc tabby (32/3) and is clearly lilac based caramel (32/8).

Firm little body and fine string like tail. Point’s soft grey brown – shows excellent tail rings. Lacks thumbprints, soft tracings to mask and legs. Super short close coat.

AC ORIENTAL, SIAMESE OR BALINESE LIMIT KITTEN
1 BAILEY’S WICCANWAYS WOT SPPOTZ  (38b) F 22/11/08 Indeed – did the Breeder know something? Lacking in overall oriental head type. Medium wedge with reasonably large ears set close and held high, eyes full in shape although of a pleasing depth of green, pinch evident, small rise over brow and dip in profile, firm chin and bite, Firm body – well covered and nice feel, tail is a good whip but needs another inch or two. Rich warm chocolate base – spots are linked on both sides, agouti invasion into the pattern and not sound, pale bronze undercoat, spine line reasonably well broken, 2 broken necklaces evident, facial tracings well defined and well ringed tail.

AC ORIENTAL, SIAMESE OR BALINESE KITTEN 6 MONTHS OR OVER
1 HANDLEY’S BABADAG MYCINDERELLA  (37h) F 6/1/09 Medium wedge with large ears that are reasonably well set when she relaxes – just a tendency to bonnet, oriental eyes of very good depth of green although she was showing a persistent squint, firm chin and level bite, body slightly short as yet – needing to lengthen – although of good weight, fine whip tail and legs. Slightly dark choc base  - red a bit random, lovely glowing red ears though! Coat long but of good texture.

AC SIAMESE 24 SERIES KITTEN
1 WITHER’S ARTENSA MOON MAIDEN  (24n) F 5/3/08 Entered as caramel but I feel just a dark blue! Medium wedge with large ears set fractionally forward which throws the balance a tad, slightly full in shape eyes of good blue – intermittent squint though, strong profile firm chin and level bite. Firm body of good size and weight, fine whip. Points of a dark blue tone – some muddy shading to back  - cold tone to sides. Very good texture.

AC ORIENTAL, SIAMESE OR BALINESE DEBUTANTE NEUTER
1 MUSSON’S STYPERSON TOP OF THE BILL (32/1) MN 3/7/07 Long wedge slightly sharp to muzzle, quite a pronounced bump to back of skull, ears are quite well set – he does tend to bonnet them - but could be larger to balance, oriental eyes of good depth of blue, almost straight profile, chin ebbs but bite ok, long elegant body – good firm feel to him, whip tail, stands tall. Excellent clarity of pattern evident – firmly pressed thumbprints and facial tracing, pinpoint whisker spots, tail just needs a few more complete rings, dark seal points and pale warm coat – excellent coat texture.

AC SIAMESE OR BALINESE NEUTER NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR
1 HOCKEN’S PR EPITOME SUNDANCER (32a) MN  28/10/08 Stylish red lad who looked mature but elegant. Ears compliment his wedge, straight profile chin shallow but bite ok, oriental l eyes of pleasing depth of blue, long neck and ultra long body!

OPEN CLASSES
RED, CREAM OR TORTIE TABBY KITTEN
1st & BOB Parry’s ROCADANNE MAMMA MIA 20e 30.01.2009
What a lovely girl and very playful. She has a neat, round head with nice ear position and good width between, although a touch large for balance at this time. She has round, copper eyes. A short, broad nose with a good dip in profile. Her bite is level and she shows good depth of chin. She has a slight muzzle pinch currently and her cheeks are developing fullness. She has good overall body development, showing both breadth and depth of chest and width across her shoulders, although tending to lithe and lead across her body. Her legs balance for length at this time and she has nice rounded paws. Her tail is of the correct length and shape with a lovely red tip and tabby rings. All the tabby elements are present. The butterfly across the shoulders has ‘eyes’, the oyster on the left has more clarity and definition than on the right. Good spine line definition and a very spotted tummy. Her coat is of a good length but flat lying. Overall a lovely exhibit with potential. I look forward to seeing her as she matures.

MISCELLANEOUS CLASSESS
AC BRITISH BREEDERS CAT
1st Moore’s CH VALPETINA BRIGADOON 31a M
A very attractive and mature boy with a round, apple shaped head. Neat ears with rounded tips. Round, deep copper coloured eyes. A good nose for length and profile with lovely pale pink nose leather. Level bite and good depth of chin. Excellent mature cheeks and jowls. He has a powerful, muscular body showing great depth and breadth. Standing firmly on thick limbs with round paws. A typical mature British boy – nice to see! His coat is short and dense being sound blue and clean, crisp white. He has a blue head and ears with an inverted , white ‘V’ blaze down his nose which extends onto his muzzle and chest. All four legs a clear of colour as is his abdomen, in fact he is a half and half in terms of colour, looking like he has been dipped into the white paint pot.

2nd Kiely-Jones’ ADREEVAN CADIMHE 16 F
This is a young lady who looks better once out of the pen but still has some way to go in terms of maturity. She has a round head with slightly large ears for balance but they are set well apart. Her eyes are round, but the golden colour lacks warmth. She has a good nose for length and profile with a level bite and good depth of chin. Her cheeks are developing nicely. Her body is developing substance as I said earlier it still has some way to go to reach the typical British type. Her coat is of an acceptable length, it is dense and crisp, of a mid blue colour that is reasonably sound. Correct tail length and shape.

3rd Kidd’s IGR CH KRESTA EDWIN 18a M
What a pleasure to see what Edwin has turned into over the many years. He is a mature handsome boy with a full round head. Acceptable ears size and position. He has a short nose with a leather that tips slightly forwards, this is exaggerated by the weak, receding chin. However the bite is level. He has a short, close coupled body that is balanced on short, firm limbs ending in round paws. His tail is short for balance with his body length. Today his coat is greasy and flat lying. All the tabby elements are present with good contrast between the blue pattern and the silver ground. Lovely temperament but just not at his best presentation wise today.

AC BRITISH KITTEN NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR
1st Chance’s CHESLO GAYTON NEYO 16 M
This little boy has a neat round head with slightly large ears for balance at this time. His eyes and round, of a deep gold colour that is still developing. His bite is level with a fair depth of chin and a muzzle pinch from teething. Overall he shows good body development and conformation for his young age standing squat on thick limbs and firm, round paws. His tail is correct for length and shape. His coat is short and dense, sound and pleasing blue but with lots of very dark guard hairs along his spine. A very playful character.

2nd Chances CHESLO GRESHAM ASPIN 16 F
This young lady is litter sister to the above and has the same dark guard hairs along the spine. Although they are very similar in their conformation her ears size and position really lets her down. They are large and very upright; in fact they reminded me of Batman’s ears. Her head is round overall despite the ears. Her eyes are also round but the colour is rather more muddy than gold at this time. She has a good nose for length and profile. Her bite is level and the chin depth is OK. She has a very pinched muzzle today, probably due to the double incisors that she has currently.

3rd Parry’s JALANDHARA HOCUS POCUS 15 F
A lovely little boy that I was so looking forward to getting out of his pen – then what a disappointment, he is undershot! He has a round head with neat ears. His eyes are a touch small and of a very muddy colour at this time – promising though. He has a good nose for length and profile and a very firm chin. His coat is short, dense and jet black being fully sound to the roots. The tail is of the correct length and shape. What a pity about the bite, it will be interesting to see how it develops once he has completed his teething.

AV SH LIMIT NEUTER
1st Kaye’s SILSILA BEOWULF 23a MN
A lovely sorrel Abyssinian who appears a little on the small side for his age. He has stunning green eyes as well as a muzzle pinch and untidy bite. Overall his heads needs to mature to reach the standard required. He has a white chin and the white hairs extend down onto his throat. The coat is a bright sorrel although the chocolate tipping lacks the warmth that I would expect. A very friendly boy.

2nd Hoole’s ADATESH FLAMMINHOT 33a36d MN
A Devon Rex with a lovely rich red smoke coloured and well rexed coat. He shows overall good head shape but lacks the typical stop in his profile that I would expect from a Devon rex.

AC SELF BRITISH NEUTER
1st Dalby’s INT GRCH & PR DONJELAMI SPECIAL BREW 17 MN
This mature boy has a lovely round head and round eyes that are rather pale gold in colour. His ear size and position is acceptable. His cheeks are full, his bite level and chin is of good depth. He has a broad and deep chest with good overall development; however his body does narrow rather towards his flanks. His limbs are short and firm. His tail is of balancing length with a rounded tip. His coat length is good, although a touch soft. A lovely sound, cream colour. A touch unhappy today though.

2nd Hirst’s PR VALPETINA FRANKSDREAM 16 MN
Another mature boy who has a large, round head. His ear size and shape is acceptable although they are slightly open. He has round, gold eyes, a broad, short nose with a good dip in its profile. His bite is level with good depth of chin. His body development is cobby and he stands four square on firm limbs with neat round paws. The tail is correct. His coat is dark blue, sound but rather lacking in body today, lying flat. However he is moulting quite badly.

AC NON SELF BRITISH NEUTER
1st Chandler’s GR PR KOLINGA BLUEBELLA 28 FN
A lovely, mature lady with a full, round head. She has neat well placed ears which she is holding a little forward. Her eyes are round and the colour golden. She has a broad nose with a good dip in its profile. Her bite is level and she has good depth of chin although it is a touch narrow for balance with the rest of her head. She has nice, full cheeks. She stands four square, showing good conformation and substance. Her coat is of a good length but a touch soft. Very pleasing mingling of the blue and cream colours. Correct tail for length and shape.

2nd Blatherwick’s PR ADVISH ARRAMINTO 40 3 MN
This boy has a lovely round head. His ears are of an acceptable size and position. His eyes are blue in colour but lack total roundness as they are flat across their tops. His nose length is good; bite level and nice full cheeks. He exhibits a mature body with depth and breadth. His coat is a good length and texture; however the points colour is a rather dark chocolate on his mask whereas the legs are much warmer. His body is very shaded, but it is in keeping with the points colour.

Mr S Twigge

My thanks to Brenda, Naomi & the committee for inviting me to judge at the club show. The venue was very interesting and the club provided a superb lunch – thank you! I inherited a class from Mrs Kalal who was unable to attend today, I hope I did not disappoint too many of her exhibitors and I look forward to seeing her soon.

Open Classes:
CLASS 406 BROWN BURMESE KITTENS
1st & BoB Mrs Akehurst’s CHIARO ZIBELLINO (27) F 08-02-2009
A sweet little girl who is rather unsure of herself. She has reasonably large and lustrous muddy golden eyes. They have good shape; fairly well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her head. They have a pleasing Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle which was a little pinched today. She has a level bite, but was teething a little. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart but her head is still developing. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has good depth. She had a super rounded brow. She has a good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which appeared set back a little today. Her medium sized body felt appropriately weighty and had good muscle tone for her size. She has a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with dainty spoon shaped paws. She has the correct stance; taller hind legs. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a warm brown in tone but the colour is still developing, it was very clear and even. It was also short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in superb condition. She was a gentle, sweet little poppet and handled very nicely indeed – a nice start to the day!

CLASS 409A LILAC BURMESE KITTEN MALE
1st & BoB Mrs Willmont’s CHATHERA SUDOWNER (27c) M 21-11-2008
A very loving lad with a most charming disposition! He has large and lustrous rich golden yellow eyes. They have pleasing shape with a very well defined slant to the nose in his upper lids though the lower lids could be fuller for perfection. They are set well apart in his head. They have a very good Burmese expression by and large. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a broad blunt muzzle which he has a tendency to square off a little. He has a level bite. He has a gently rounded head and ears that are set very well apart for a kitten. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are a little large to balance his head a present. They add well to the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has reasonably good depth. He had a gently rounded brow. He has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which appeared slightly set back today. His large body felt weighty and had good muscle tone for his age. He has a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs are elegant with large oval paws. He has the correct stance and taller hind legs. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip and had a slightly tensile feel towards the final vertebrae. His coat was a pale lilac tone, with slightly cooler mask but pink casting was evident. It was also short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture and lies very close to his body. He was shown in superb condition. He has a super temperament and was very loveable – an absolute pleasure to meet!

CLASS 413 AOC TORTIE BURMESE KITTEN MALE
1st & BoB Mr Saunders’ MOLYNMEUX HUWS-GIRL (27g) F 08-02-2009
A very cutesy exhibit. She has medium rich golden eyes, but I think she was teething which was upsetting many of her facial features today. They have excellent shape; well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids though her lower lids could be fuller. They are set well apart in her broad well developed head. They have an excellent Burmese expression despite their size. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle which was a little pinched today. She has a level bite and as already noted she was teething. She has a lovely rounded head and ears that are set well apart thereon. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has quite good depth. She had a nicely rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which was set back a little and could be deeper for perfection. Her medium sized body felt very weighty and had excellent muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are rather dainty and elegant with sweet little spoon paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a super soft baby blue with nice silvering already and mingled nicely with various shades of cream. It was also still very much a kitten coat, reasonably short, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in superb condition. She was very sweet and fitted in my pocket very nicely but I was frisked on the way out ...

Miscellaneous Classes:
CLASS 539 BURMESE ADULT, KITTEN OR NEUTER
1st Mrs Dell’s KUPRO RED SASSAFRAS (27d) F

They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow.

It was also quite short in length, but was a little harsh in places. She was shown in superb condition. She handled very nicely but preferred to be in her pen!

CLASS 672 AV SH CAT
1st Messers Crow & Goss’ CH KAGURA AURORA (68 45q) F
An extremely attractive exhibit. She had large and lustrous pale yellow chartreuse eyes. They had very good shape; well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids when she wanted to, she had a tendency to round them and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in her broad well developed head. All in all they had an excellent expression. Face on she had a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. She had a level bite. She had a gently rounded head and ears that were set well apart thereon. Her ears had wide bases, rounded tips and were suitably sized to balance her head. They added well to the contour of her upper face and had the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull had good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. She had a very good nose break, a straight nose line with slight tapering away to the nose leather and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ended in the same vertical plane as her nose. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. She had a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with spoon shaped paws. She had the correct stance with appropriately taller hind legs. Her tail just balanced to her shoulder. It tapered well from a medium thick base to a rounded tip. Her coat had a super silky feel to it and suitable semi-longhair length, although she had minimal plume to her ruff and tail plume; this is appropriate for the time of year and I made allowances, she did have toe tuffs and ear streamers however. She had quite reasonably defined ticking which descended well down her flanks, a warm BCR brown over an oatmeal ground in the hall lighting, she had good thumb prints to her ears, an “M” to her forehead and a clear scarab with spectacle markings to her face, her necklace was less well defined. She had strong hocks to her rear legs, with stripes to the inner fore legs and also to the outer rear legs, her spine lines descends down her tail to a solid tip. She was shown in superb condition. She was a gentle girl and handled very nicely indeed! I would have no hesitation in offering a CC and BoB to this exhibit today.

2nd Mrs Moore’s DUCAMARA ANNABELINDA (27) F24-07-2008
Such a little sweetie. She has reasonably large and lustrous muddy golden eyes. They have very good shape; a clearly defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her head, which is still developing and could benefit from more width. They have a very fine Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They compliment the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. Her nose break was acceptable but could stand more definition, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as her nose and needs more depth for perfection. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her slender limbs are elegant with neat oval paws. She has the correct stance. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers very well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a warm brown in tone, it was very clear and even. It was also very short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture – very stylish. She was shown in superb condition. She is quite a sweet baby girl in a very playful mood today as she managed to steal my twizzler whilst  was writing her up!

2nd Mr & Mrs Williams’ MOLYNMEUX BEUXTIFUL (27c) F

CLASS 712 AC BURMESE BREEDERS NEUTER
1st Mrs Wilshaw’s GRPR ROSSIKHAN CRACKER JACK (27c) MN
Ever so drop dead gorgeous and he knows it! He has large and lustrous yellow eyes. They have excellent shape; extremely well defined slants to his upper lids and very full lower lids. They are set well apart in his broad well developed head. They do have an excellent Burmese expression – text book in fact. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. He has a level bite [I noticed he’d lost a single upper incisor]. He has a pleasingly rounded head and ears that are set well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance his head. They enhance the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has good depth. He has a well rounded brow. He has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a very good deep lower jaw, adding the required depth to his chin, which ends in the same vertical plane as his nose. All in all an excellent profile! His medium sized body felt weighty and had excellent muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are elegant and muscular with oval paws. He has taller hind legs, giving him the desired stance. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a pink toned lilac which was a little cool in the hall lighting today. It was also very short in length, whilst having that very expensive texture that very few Burmese achieve – the costliest of satins. He was shown in superb condition. He got a few grumbles off his chest but he handled very nicely. My pick of the day.

2nd Mr & Mrs Hardy’s CH MACHIKA GEMINI (27b) FN
A very appealing chocolate. She has large and lustrous golden yellow eyes. They have good shape; nicely defined slants in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her very broad head. They have a really appealing Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a messy bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, they have rounded tips and are in proportion to her head. They compliment the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which was set back a little. Her medium sized body very felt weighty and had good muscle tone; her weight is that very typical shock you have when picking up a Burmese – like a brick wrapped in silk. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are elegant with dainty spoon shaped paws. She has the correct stance. Her tail is just short to balance to her shoulder. It tapers well from a rather thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a mid toned chocolate with minimal contrast but brindling was evident. It was also reasonably short in length, whilst being soft in texture with that lovely satin effect. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very sweet natured girl – who added up to a greater sum than her parts on balance for me today.

Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone – thought she looked festively plump. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with spoon shaped paws. She has the desired stance with taller hind legs. Her tail just balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip.

His tail is just short balance to the shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat is warm brown in tone and has super sheen to it.

CLASS 720 AV SH NEUTER RESIDENT IN LINCS
1st Miss Ziccardi’s AFFECTIONATE BOOBY DAZZLER (76 20) MN
A very impressive exhibit in his pen but not too co-operative on the table. Super strong large body and limbs with tail to balance with suitably small wild looking head. Super colours to coat and an especially rich ground colour to this marble pattern. Unfortunately he was too upset to handle so I cannot go into further detail.

CLASS 737 AC DILUTE BURMESE NEUTER

They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She has a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line which could be shorter for perfection and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as her nose. Her medium sized body felt weighty, but was carrying some fat. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are dainty and elegant with oval paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail was short to balance. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a pale lilac with a cooler frosty mask. It was also acceptable in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very cheeky girl with a feisty side to her – but a very enjoyable character!

2nd Mr & Mrs Smith GRPR MACHIKA GUINEVERE (27a) FN
She has medium sized chartreuse eyes, the right eye has a brown fleck in it. They really let her head down as they have little definition to the upper lids and lack in fullness in the lower lids. All in all they have rather poor Burmese expression. Face on she has a reasonably short wide wedge which tapers well to a rather square muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a rather flat head and ears that are set reasonably well apart. Her ears are too small for balance but OK for shape. They detract from the contour of her upper face due to the lack of size. In profile her skull has reasonable depth. She had a flat brow. She has a reasonably good nose break, a straight nose line that is too long really. Her jaw lacks depth and recedes somewhat. Her large body felt rather over weight. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat with oval paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail is short to balance. It tapers well from a rather thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat is a soft blue with some silvering. It was reasonably short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. I would like to see her lose some weight, she handled well and seemed rather bored with the whole affair today.

CLASS 743 AV FOREIGN ADULT, KITTEN or NEUTER BORN IN JANUARY – MARCH
Originally Mrs Kalal’s class with a large entry of 11 cats who were all present
1st Mrs Shorten’s S*MARBLE & SILK@S NTRANISU (73 41 ) M
A super Tawny Ocicat Classic. A very elegant boy; very well set eyes and his head looking very typie in general; nice modified wedge, good cheeks, good definition to muzzle. His pattern was superb with tram lines on is spine, butterfly wings and oysters to his body, thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead and a scarab, spectacles to his face and an unbroken necklace. Superb rich colours; a dark pattern against that rich tawny agouti background and excellent confirmation. He was present very well and handled very nicely indeed.

2nd  Mrs Kaye’s SILSILA BEOWULF (23a) MN
A very attractive Aby neuter boy. Lovely sorrel ticked coat, super texture with excellent drag. M to forehead, scarab, broken necklace, white to chin but good hocks! Nice head pleasing yellow eyes, wee indentation to profile, firm chin and good width. Tail balances and limbs are neat and elegant. He handled very well - obviously waiting for the extra legs to develop! Seriously though a very lovely exhibit whom it was a pleasure to handle today.

3rd Mrs Davison’s MAUOLOGY CRYSTAL (78 30s) F (A very pleasing exhibit!)

Class 745 AV FOREIGN ADULT, KITTEN or NEUTER BORN JULY – SEPTEMBER
1st Miss Bradley’s GRCH KAMEHAHD TICKETY BOO (72 45) F
A very gentle exhibit. She has large and lustrous rich golden amber eyes. They had good shape; a reasonably well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in a head that lacks in width at present for my taste. All in all they had a pleasing expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a reasonably blunt muzzle which looked a little pinched today. She has a level bite with a couple of upper incisors missing. She had a very gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears had wide bases, rounded tips and balance her head. They enhance the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has good depth. She had a rather gently rounded brow. Her nose break could take more definition for perfection, it had a straight nose line which fell away slightly toward the end. Her lower jaw had reasonable depth but was slightly set back. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had pleasing muscle tone. She had a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs were dainty and elegant with oval paws. She had the correct stance. Her tail just balanced to her shoulder. It tapered well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. She had superb black ticking with very clear definition on her rich coppery ground, she had clear thumb prints to her ears, an “M” to her forehead, a scarab, spectacles, good necklace. She had small stripes to all legs with trout like spots to her upper forelegs and on her tummy too, she had solid hocks to her rear legs. She had clear spine line and rings too on her tail. Her coat was also very short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture – very pleasing. She was shown in superb condition. She handled very nicely and was really rather confident today.

2nd Mrs Ward’s HUGGIBEAR EBONY CHIEFTAIN (72) Bombay M
Still a rather young adult. He had medium sized eyes, pale yellow with a vivid green inner rims beginning to form. They had an horizontal line in the upper lids and reasonable rounding to lower lids. Face on he had a short wedge which was still a little pinched. His bite was level. He had gentle rounding to the top of his head where his ears were set well apart. They were wide in the base and had nicely rounded tips. They balanced his head well. His skull had medium depth, a gently rounded brow and a fairly good nose break. His nose has a bump mid way down, his jaw was only just acceptable for depth and was set back a little. His medium sized body had reasonable muscle tone and weight to it. He had a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs were in proportion, they were taller in the hind legs and had oval paws. His tail only just balanced. It tapered well to a rounded end and was somewhat thick at the base. He was generally well coloured to the roots, although he did have several out breaks of white hairs mostly on the back of his neck, on his chest under his chin and on his limbs, his tummy was also had a rusty tone to it. His coat was really too long for a shorthaired exhibit. He was very easy top handle and has very sweet temperament – he is very easy to waste time with!

CLASS 750 AC BURMESE ADULT, KITTEN OR NEUTER BORN OCTOBER – DECEMBER
1st Mrs Williams’ MOLYNMEUX BEUXTIFUL (27c) F (please see previous)

2nd Mrs Catterick’s GRPR NEMOREZ THERED BARON (27d) MN
An adorable character! His pale yellow - chartreuse eyes lack size really. His upper lids tend to be rather horizontal and lower lids could be fuller. They are set well apart. They have could had a better Burmese expression. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle. He has a level bite [though is missing incisors on his lower jaw]. He has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are in keeping with his head. They add to the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has reasonable depth. He has a gently rounded brow. He has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a rather shallow, receding lower jaw. His large body feels weighty and has good muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are neat and elegant with oval paws. He has taller hind legs. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a rich warm tangerine red tone. It is medium-short in length, whilst being soft in texture. He was shown in excellent condition. He is a very relaxed and adorable character – a super companion I bet!

Mrs M Uzupa

My thanks to Beryl and Naomi and the committee for allowing me to judge the household pets, a very tough job; and for the very nice lunch. My thanks also to Maureen Hardy for stewarding for me; we had a lot of fun with some lovely cats. The new hall is much nicer than the previous one, very much lighter and cooler, I am sure everyone appreciated the new facilities especially the cats.

Class 852b Ac Non Pedigree Master Cat Grand Class

GMC 314 – Ms Swinglers’s - MC. Autumn. SH. Tortie & White Ticked Tabby Female  A lovely cat. She has such a lovely temperament, just wanted to play and purr. She has a lovely red nose leather that just sets off her face to perfection. Nicely set ears. White parts of her coat were snow white and well prepared. Well worthy of the grand. I couldn’t believe she was not still a baby as she was so playful and affectionate. Fortunately for her owner my pockets weren’t big enough to pop her in to take home.

Class 845 Self (Single Colour) Cat with or without white

MC 315 – Mrs Kidd’s – MC . Daisy.SH. Black & White Female A very pretty girl. Lovely temperament. Coat a little loose,( as were most other cats today) but only to be expected for the time of year Very friendly, beautiful black and white coat, which was gleaming, deep green eyes and nicely set ears. I loved her long whiskers.  A well fed girl!

Class 847a Ginger or any Colour Tortoiseshell with or without White Male

MC  313– Mrs Kidd’s – MC. Garfield. SH. Ginger Male  A big boy who doesn’t look his age of 11years. He has a beautiful expressive head – looks like he is smiling at you. Very relaxed on the table, but was glad to be back in his pen. He has a lovely red tabby coat with a very good body and head; tail a little short but over all a wonderful cat. My idea of a real “ginger tom”.

Class 847b Ginger or any Colour Tortoiseshell with or without White Female

MC 316 – Mrs Kidd’s –  MC. Hannah.  SH Tortie & White Female   A big, tortie and white girl. A little timid today. She has beautiful markings and her ears to me are her crowning feature being dark at the head and a wonderful red at the tips. Nice clear eyes, pretty face. Obviously well loved, a well presented lady of 7 years of age.

Class 856 Any Other colour or Pattern Cat with or without White

MC 318 Mrs Passfield-Taylor’s Misty. LH Brown, Ginger & White Female. What lovely soft fur this young lady has. Pretty face with pale blue eyes. Large well set ears and a long well furnished tail. Very well presented and obviously well loved judging by her weight. Very sweet natured as well as being so pretty.

Class 858 Tabby Cat of any Pattern with or without White

MC 321 – Mrs Owen’s – Terrence the Wonder Cat. SH Brown Tabby Male. I love the name of this large boy, I wonder what he did to deserve it. A little bit reluctant to show to his best today. Beautiful ticked coat. Large head with ears to match. Pale green expressive eyes. Coat a little bit loose, claws should have been clipped, but that is the only negative comment I have to make about him. I loved his red nose leather it sets his face off a treat. Lovely young man.

Class 863 AC Non Pedigree Adult or Kitten

1st  312 - Mrs Kidd’s – Alfred.  SH Tabby & White Male. A lovely big tabby and white boy. I can’t believe he is 11 years old! Super nose and face markings. White all sparkling. Wonderful temperament. I do like the rings at the end of his tail. Very well presented a very nice cat.

Class 869  Any Other Colour

1st  317 – Ms Swingler’s - Velvet.  SH. Brown Ticked Tortie Tabby Female. After we disturbed her siesta, she was a real live wire. Beautifully ticked coat, lovely whiskers, nice necklace and stripey tail. Really friendly little cat, she just wanted lots of attention and to play, which we were happy to do. Well grown for her age and very well presented. Didn’t want to go back in her pen at all, but when she did she just lay treading, so very relaxed in her pen.

875 Veteran Cat ( Over 7 Years)

1st  312– Mrs Kidd’s  Alfred. What more can I add to my previous comments a super big red tabby boy.

Class 865 AC Non-Pedigree  Adult or Kitten

1st – Mrs Kidd’s 315  MC Daisy. (see 845)
2nd – Mrs Kidd’s 316  MC Hannah ( see 847b)

Class 877 Handsomest Male Cat or Kitten

A tough class to judge as they were all so handsome anyway!

1st –324 Miss Lyman’s Angus Attilius. SH. Lilac Colourpoint Male . Another big boy. Loved his colouring. Big head with a cobby body and a wonderful tail. Soft well groomed fur. Good ears and eyes and his temperament was excellent purring all the time.

2nd- 319  Mr Bernard’s – Perkins Brown. Tonkinese Male. A bit unhappy today and very vocal. A wonderful rich coloured coat, very well presented. Lovely clear expressive eyes. Good body size, tail perhaps a little short. A very handsome young man, who sat looking very regal in his pen for the rest of the morning.

3rd - 321 Mrs Owen’s –  321 Terrence the Wonder Cat.  As  class 858.  He ran the 1st & 2nd very close, and I am sure will be the most handsome one day!

4th -320 Miss Walker’s – Pepe Le Peu. SH Black Male A well fed black boy. What a nice head he has with great big saucer eyes – stunning. I loved his curly whiskers and coat – wonder who he got that from! His tail is long, with a curl to his fur and he has very dainty feet for such a large boy. Nice temperament, he was very happy to be handled

5th = 322 Mr & Mrs Bailey’s – C’E Flyte.  Cream Siamese Male. A lovely cream Siamese boy. Very nice coat, very soft. Super ears and eyes, well prepared and presented. A little unhappy but he handled ok, but was very happy to go back into his pen.

5th  = 323 Miss Crowley’s – Caesar. Apricot Point Male.  Another big boy, this time an apricot point. He had the most wonderful big blue eyes. Again not too happy to be handled. Lovely short coat, colour excellent. Tail long with nice rings at the end. Well groomed and presented, only his grumpiness today let him down.

Class 879 – Cat or Kitten Owned by a Child Under 16 Years

1st – 319 Mr Bernard’s -Perkins. Tonkinese Male.The colour of this cat’s coat is so beautiful, especially in the sunlight it is such a rich brown. A very handsome boy and he knows it! He must be a joy to own.

Class 881 – Cat or Kitten Resident outside Lincolnshire

1st – 323 Miss Crowley’s – Caesar. Apricot Point Male As I had handled him before I didn’t need to disturb him again , and I am sure he was glad of that. He is still quite a young cat and with his china blue eyes and great coloured coat I am sure he will do well if he is happy, which sadly he wasn’t today.

Class 885 – Cat or Kitten Who Lives with a Pedigree Cat

1st – 317 Ms Swinglers-Velvet. SH. Brown Ticked Tortie Tabby Female.  I guess this lady must live with Abyssinians. What more can I add she is just a playful baby a joy to handle.

Class 895 – Any Cat or Kitten Born in October

This was very hard to judge

1st 317 – Ms Swingler’s –Velvet (see 869)
2nd 320 – Miss Walker’s - Pepe le Peu ( see 877)

Class 901- Ac SH Adult

1st 313- Mrs Kidd’s –  MC. Garfield  (see 847a)
2nd 314 - Ms Swinglers’s -  MC. Autumn (see 852b)
3rd 322 - Mr & Mrs Bailey’s – C’E Flyte. (see 877)
4th 325 – Miss Lyman’s – Caress. Chocolate Siamese Female A pretty little girl with a pretty name she has a lovely soft well groomed coat. Colour was very good, with a striking mask as a pointed cat should have; eyes clear blue, good ears. Tail of good length. A little bit unhappy today but I am sure she will be a winner very soon.
