Mrs V Anderson

Thank you to Jean, Brenda and the committee for the kind invitation and the warm hospitality. Despite the “recession” I understand the entries were up on last year. A very busy day with lots of super exhibits to judge ably assisted as usual by Carol Blakemore whose stewarding skills were invaluable today.  Many thanks Carol for all your help and your company on the journey.

OPEN CLASSES

AV BRITISH CHAMPION MALE

1st & Gr Ch Young’s Ch Harleme Bertrand (15) 21.02.2008

A beautiful Black chap who although not overlarge was cobby and well balanced. Lovely head shape with good underlying bone structure. Neat well spaced ears which had a good broad rounded top of head between them. Lovely expressive eyes of orange colour. Short broad nose and good full wide cheeks and a lovely round balanced muzzle line. Level bite, but for perfection he could have a stronger chin. Four square deep powerful cobby body showing lovely width to his chest and strength and depth to the flanks. Short thick muscular legs and round paws.  Short tail thick at the base with round tip. Superb short thick dense black coat which was sound at the roots and well prepared.  I don’t think I have judged this boy since he was a kitten and he has matured beautifully. Shown in super condition and easy to handle.

Res Brown’s Ch Kolinga Jaguar (16)18.06.2007

A super boy from the well known Kolinga stable.  Very round broad masculine head with the neatest of ears which had a good top of head  between them.  Lovely round profile which leads to a short broad nose.  Bold eyes of lovely even colour. Excellent width across his cheeks a lovely broad round muzzle. Firm chin and level bite. Huge boy being strong and muscular with superb breadth across his chest and lovely depth to the flanks. Very short thick strong well boned legs and big round paws. Tail in balance to his body. Unfortunately today his medium blue coat which was thick and dense was very unsound at the roots and showing a lot of silver tipping to the ends of the hairs. I hope this is seasonal as he is otherwise a super chap A real gentleman who was shown in lovely condition.

AV BRITISH CHAMPION FEMALE

1st but Gr Ch n/a Keitley’s Ch Babycakes Maybebaby (28) 19.11.2006

I am always sorry to not award, but this girl for me lacked maturity as one would expect at almost 2.5 years old. Fairly head shape with a nice feminine expression. Medium sized ears which were wide and open at the base. Nice profile which leads to a short broad nose. Well opened eyes of pleasing colour. I would like more roundness to her cheeks for overall balance and she was pushing out her whisker pads giving her muzzle a rather square appearance. Good size to her body although I would have liked more width, but it did have good depth to the flanks. She was also a little light in weight at present. Stands tall on her legs still finished in round paws all of which were broken with both colours.  Tail in balance. Her coat was of good length and texture with the darker phase of blue and the cream was warm in places today.  She was such a super girl with a lovely gentle temperament.

2nd Hemming’s Ch Positively Jemima Bedmole (15) 27.07.2005

A very sweet natured girl who was very out of balance on the day .Round shape to her head with medium sized ears wide at the base. Round profile which leads to a short broad nose. Bold round eyes. Nice width across her cheeks, but she tends to narrow a little at the muzzle. Fairly firm chin and level bite. She was a lovely solid girl of good weight with good width and depth overall. She is rotund and therefore her head is not balanced at present to her body. Nice legs strong legs with round paws.  Medium length tail with round tip. Super coat for length and density which was sound at the roots.  I did feel the texture was harsh rather than crisp today.  Shown well and in lovely condition.

AV BRITISH IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER MALE

1st Imp Gr Matthew’s Gr Pr Pampurred Paper-Tiger (30) 20.05.2006
A boy who I have judged on many occasions and today he looked as lovely as always

Res Benger’s Imp Gr Pr Stonnall Rockee (30d) 15.06.2005
Judged very recently and my comments remain the same.

AV BRITISH IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER FEMALE

1st Imp Gr Chandler’s Gr Pr Kolinga Bluebella (28) 04.06.2007

A stunning girl who was just a little fractious today. Wonderful broad full round head shape with good bone structure beneath with wee small ears which fit the contour well. Nice profile with a short broad nose. Bold expressive eyes. Lovely full cheeks and round muzzle line. Level bite and good chin. Superb deep powerful balanced body of excellent size and weight with good width to her chest and lovely depth to the rump. Super thick strong legs finished in round paws all of which were broken with colours. Balanced tail.  Beautiful mingled coat of pale blue and cream which does have some patches present but this does not detract from her overall qualities.  A super girl who was groomed down to the last hair and presented very well.

2nd Res n/a Maden’s Gr Pr Limatz Truly Scrumptious (30) 03.07.2007

A very sweet lady who I do not think I have judged before. Quite well rounded head shape with ears which fit into the contour well, although they were open at the base and she would hold them rather forward.  Lovely expressive eyes of even colour. Fairly good width across her cheeks, but she needs more muzzle strength to balance the head overall. Firm chin and level bite. Lovely body which was solid to the touch and of good size and weight carried on legs on which she still tends to stand a fraction high with round paws.  Tail in balance with one complete ring. Lovely undercoat which contrasts well to her dense black pattern. Thumb prints to her ears and ‘M’ to forehead, necklaces nice butterfly and matching oysters. Today she was rather solid down the spine line which tended to spoil the pattern somewhat and there was also some brindling present   A lovely sweet natured girl – perhaps not her time of year.

BLACK ADULT MALE

1st but Ch n/a Newman’s Moormist Magician (15) 12.05.2008

A well grown chap who had a round masculine shape to his head with ears of medium size which were placed well. Good profile with a short broad nose. Lovely eyes which were not fully round in shape, but of excellent orange colour.  Well developed cheeks but he would keep pushing out his whisker pads giving his muzzle a rather square appearance. Level bite and firm chin. His body is now just showing a little length, but was solid of good size and weight carried on strong legs with round paws.  Tail in balance. I am afraid it was his coat that let him down today. It was showing a rusty tinge all over and therefore not dense black, but was sound at the roots.  It is a little on the long side and lacked density which makes it lay flat.  The texture I can only describe as ‘very very soft’. I am afraid too many coat faults on the day. But a real gentleman who showed himself well.

BLACK ADULT FEMALE

1st Ch n/a Chesterman’s Rocadanne Lolly Pop (15) 20.05.2008

A well developed girl of gentle nature and very easy to handle. She had a fairly round head shape with small ears which fit the well.  Nice profile which leads to a nose which is a little long and has a downward slant with a bump when viewed in profile. Cheeks developing and a rounded muzzle line.  Fairly firm chin and level bite.  She is not an overlarge, but balanced and of good weight. Stands a fraction tall on legs finished in round paws.  Good tail.  Short black coat which was unsound at the roots and also there was a lot of scurf present through out her coat today.  She is only young so plenty of time to develop.

BOB Young’s Ch Harleme Bertrand (15) 21.02.2008

WHITE ORANGE EYED ADULT

1st Ch & BOB Gain’s Cottage Patience (14a) 22.11.02007

A sweet nature gentle girl who looked better when she had relaxed in her pen Feminine shape to her head with well placed ears which are just a fraction open and wide at the base. Lovely bold round expressive eyes of pleasing colour. Short broad nose with good width to her cheeks and a nice round muzzle. Fairly firm chin and level bite. Not overlarge but a balanced four square body of good weight which was nice and firm to the touch. Standing a tad tall on legs as yet finished with round paws.  Tail in balance to both her body and legs. Pristine white coat which for perfection could have been a little shorter in length and lacked density which made it lay flat. It was also a fraction soft to the touch.  Shown in super condition and ‘Persil’ white. A girl who was very easy to handle.

BLUE MALE

1st Ch Stile’s Achuri Meconopsis (16) 16.08.2007

I thought long and hard and deliberated for some time about awarding this boy the certificate today.  He has a full round masculine shape to his head with good underlying bone structure.  He is a little flat in profile between his neat well set ears which have a good breadth between them. Large bold deep orange  eyes which do tend to spoil the overall facial expression slightly Very short broad nose full round cheeks and a broad round muzzle line.  Messy but level bite and firm chin. Compact body of good weight showing a nice strength to the flanks and width to his chest. Standing on strong legs and round paws. Short tail with round tip. Very nice short coat of medium blue which was showing some unsoundness in places today but there was no silver tipping present.  A gentle chap who showed himself to his best advantage and given the benefit of doubt on the day.

2nd Ross’ Adatesh Burlington Bertie (16) 01.03.2008

A boy who I have judged very recently who is very well developed for his age, but who looked unhappy today. His eyes were not round in shape and the third eye lid was almost right up which did not help.  The Duty Vet was happy that he was not unwell. We let him relax, but once again his third eye lid came up as I was about to assess him.  Obviously something was giving him cause for concern. A very gentle natured boy.

BLUE FEMALE

1st Ch Harris’ Adatesh Iris (16) 30.05.2008

An attractive lady who had a lovely gentle nature. Round head shape with a nice open expression with ears which for balance are still slightly generous in size and a fraction open at the base. Nice round profile leading to a short broad nose. Cheeks filling out well and she has already a nice balance to her muzzle. Firm chin and level bite. She has quite a large frame which she needs to fully fill out as yet but of super weight with good legs and round paws.  Medium length tail with round tip.  Her coat lacks a little in density and was showing some unsoundness in places today.  A sweet natured girl who showed herself well.

BOB awarded to Brown’s Ch Kolinga Jaguar (16)18.06.2007

CREAM MALE

1st Ch & BOB Harrison’s Ch Crazipuss Callmecharley (17) 28.10.2006

A super chap who I judged earlier in the year.  Superb type with lovely masculine expression. Good ears which fit into his head shape well. Nice profile leading to a short broad nose.  Expressive orange eyes. Lovely full rounded cheeks and a broad muzzle line with a level bite and firm chin. Superb body conformation with a wide level back and good width to his chest and superb depth to the body overall. Short strong legs and balanced tail. Excellent short thick crisp dense coat of very pleasing cream which today was very unsound at the roots. I do hope this is seasonal as he is such a super boy.

LILAC ADULT FEMALE

1st Ch n/a Pattison’s Adatesh Lilac Lady (15c) 11.03.2008

A most attractive young lady who had a lovely open facial expression with ears which fit into the contour well and had good width between them. Good profile which leads to a short broad nose. Cheeks filling out well and a nice round muzzle. Eyes not fully round in shape and unfortunately there was a very large green rim to the outer of the pale gold.  Well grown and of good weight but she needs to broaden as she is a little narrow in body still. Nice legs finished with rounded paws. Balanced tail.  Super thick dense coat of a super lilac colour which as yet needs to develop a crisper texture but she is only young so time is on her side.  A very sweet natured girl.

BLACK/CHOCOLATE/LILAC TORTOISESHELL ADULT

1st Ch & BOB Hemming’s Hinderslyne Hecate (21) 08.07.2008

What a super girl who I believe again I judged earlier in the year and she has matured very well indeed. Lovely feminine expression with tiny well spaced ears which have a good breadth of skull between them.  Rounded profile which leads to a short broad nose. Good round cheeks and a lovely balanced muzzle line with a firm chin which was split with two colours. and level bite. So well grown and of an excellent size and weight as she is only just over ten months old. Good legs with all four paws being broken with both colours one of which had a sprinkling of hairs, but we did find them. Balanced tail with round tip. Lovely short thick dense coat which showed black with two shades of red. For perfection I would have like a little more mingling to both her head and lower back as she is otherwise very well mingled throughout.  Such a gentle sweet natured girl.

BLUE CREAM ADULT

1st Ch Bell’s Charmoden Anny (28) 15.05.2008

A super blue cream girl of just twelve months old who showed herself well today. Lovely attractive expression with ears which are of medium size and fit her head shape well. Nice rounded profile with a short broad nose. Expressive eyes of pleasing colour. Lovely well filled cheeks and a muzzle which tends to smile at you. Good chin and level bite.  She is not overlarge but four square and cobby with good width across her chest and showing nice depth overall.  Short strong little legs and round paws three of which were broken with both colours.  Short tail with round tip.
Her coat was short, thick and dense with lovely shades of pale blue and cream.  She does have a few patches but this did not detract from this lovely lady.

2nd   Keitley’s Ch Babycakes Maybebaby (28) 19.11.2006

BLACK NEUTER

BOB awarded to Hemming’s Ch & Pr Hinderslyne Black Hemlock (15) 17.08.2007

My book reads ‘absolutely gorgeous’.  I have watched this superb boy develop from a young kitten and I understand he attained the title of Grand Premier today. I also was the judge for Overall Best in Show which I was so delighted to award him.  Congratulations to his owner/breeder

BLUE CREAM NEUTER

1st Pr Adetsh Crystalmissgavite (28) 09.05.2007

BLACK SILVER TABBY NEUTER

1st Pr n/a Marshall’s Sutillian Silver Florence (18) 30.12.2007

This girl was super she had a wonderful expression with good ear placement albeit a little wide and open at the base. Nice round profile with a short broad nose. Lovely large well opened copper eyes (such a pity) which is not correct for this colour. Excellent width to her cheeks and a lovely broad round muzzle.  Firm chin and level bite.  Super deep powerful cobby body well developed and grown with short thick strong little legs and round spotted paws. Balanced tail.  Lovely ground colour which contrasts well to her dense black pattern.  Her coat was a tad soft but otherwise of very good density and length.  Such a pity about her eyes as she is a beautiful girl.

BOB awarded to Maden’s Pr Limatz Willy Wonka (18) 03.07.2007

AC COLOURPOINTED (EXC CINNAMON & FAWN) NEUTER MALE

1st Pr & BOB Rodwell’s Pr Japeeta Fats Domino (40.3) 28.09.2001
My book reads ‘stunning’ so I suppose there is not much more to say other than he was four square balanced and cobby with a wonderful head    I wondered if he had been entire at some point.  Such a super chap.

AC COLOURPOINTED (EXC CINNAMON & FAWN) NEUTER FEMALE

1st Pr Riley’s Alejandro Play Misty F’me (40.4) 30.03.2007

I did feel that this girl still looked immature but gave her the benefit of doubt on the day.  Fairly round head with nice expression with large ears which were wide at the base.  Flat between her ears in profile which leads to a short broad nose.  I would have like more cheek and muzzle development to balance the overall facial expression. Fairly firm chin and level bite. Her body is still rather long and lean she has a big frame which she needs to fully fill out, but she was solid and firm to the touch. Standing tall on her legs with rounded paws.  Balanced tail. Lovely coat with good contrasts between her lilac points and magnolia body colour.  I must say she was rather wriggly.

Mrs L Ashmore

My thanks to my steward who certainly showed she had plenty of stamina by stewarding for me at two shows on successive days. Bit of a marathon eh Jean, wonder if we lost any weight?

I was very grateful for her support on this very busy day when I was feeling less that 100%. I look forward to another day together when it's not so hectic.

Judging the BIS Burmese kitten took some time but to be honest I couldn't go wrong they
were 3 little stunners. In the end after much deliberation, I chose the lilac tortie Williams Molynmeux Zazeux, a spirited girl with that extra special 'look' which just gave her the edge. The others Robinson's Molynmeux Gold Dust a cream boy was a delightful little sleepyhead, and Wilshaw's Rossikhan Daddy's Girl is just scrumptious!!! I look forward to watching the progress of these very promising kittens.

It was a very busy but enjoyable day, my thanks to Jean & Brenda for the judging invitation and for the very warm welcome and very good hospitality. Belinda Clarke stepped in at the last minute to steward for me, I hope she found Siamese and Orientals interesting.

OPEN CLASSES
A.V. Oriental Premier Male
GD PC – Baxter’s GD PR SOLARUS CATHY’S CLOWN (37r) 28/07/05. Handsome neuter boy with very good type and style.  Stylish medium wedge with very good top line and large nicely flared ears set to follow.  Lovely oriental shaped eyes, they have such a sweet expression and the colour is good, clear green. Marginal dip to profile, good firm chin and level bite.  Long elegant body with good tone and a trim tummy line, long limbs and tail to balance. Super coat colouring,  it was completely clear of ghosting and sound to roots, perhaps a touch long down the spine today, but lying close and of very good texture overall.  A dear boy who handled extremely well and was excellently presented.

A.V. Oriental Premier Female
GD PC – Lee’s CH & IMP GD PR WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD (37p) 27/05/06. I was surprise to see this lady looking relaxed and poised on her lovely bed today – what a difference this makes to her. I have judge her many times so have little to add, she is so stylish and when she poses like this, she looks absolutely gorgeous. Coat completely sound and the  length and texture was excellent today, presented to perfection as always.

Oriental Blue Adult Male
BOB – Armitage’s GD CH CHAPELROSE OHMEOHMY 13/11/07. This boy is very stylish indeed, albeit a touch immature looking for  his age.  Lovely head with excellent top line and large flyaway ears excellently set.  Very good shape and set to eyes with excellent vivid green colour, but with a little bit of a “look” today. Almost straight profile and good chin, bite untidy with most of the incisors missing, but appeared reasonably level. Very long, elegant and well muscled body, long limbs and long whip that almost balances. Coat could have been better today and I did debate over the BOB because of it. He is dark for a blue and there is some tabby ghosting on the body, which is unusual when the colour is  this dark, it was also slightly unsound on the lowers sides today. On the plus side, it was a true cool blue without fawning and the length and texture was beautifully sleek and close, so I felt it would have been mean to w/h.  Super to handle and excellently presented.

Havana Kitten Male
1st & BOB – Cassar Simmonds’ FIORDILISO INFIDELITY 15/01/09. A most promising little boy for both type and colour. Good head, perhaps marginally long in the muzzle at present but top line good and the ears are of very good size and set. Oriental eye shape and set with that special “Havana” expression and good green colour. Virtually straight profile and firm chin with level bite. Long really solid little body, limbs dainty as yet, super whip tail to balance. Good warm toned Havana coat, some tabby ghosting shows on the lower sides but this should clear and is perfectly acceptable for a baby, almost sound to roots, texture excellent for a youngster, short sleek and close.   A very confident chap, posing on his bed like a prince. Beautifully presented.

Oriental Tortoiseshell  Neuter
PC & BOB - Lee’s CH & IMP GD PR WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD (37p) 27/05/06.

Oriental Classic & Mackerel Tabby Neuter Male
PC & BOB – Cruden’s OOPSIEEDEE MAKING WAVES (41n) 10/06/08. A very handsome boy for type, his colour is excellent and his pattern is pretty good too. Medium length wedge with good top-line, ears could perhaps be touch larger for perfect balance but they were very well set.  Oval shape to eyes, setting correct, colour excellent - vivid mid green. Straight strong profile with deep firm chin and level bite. Well covered body of very good length with longish limbs and tail that almost balances. Excellent lilac-based caramel tabby marking with an almost bluish sheen on the head markings, pattern good although the side spine lines have faded out just a touch and he could do with more, clear  internal spotting in his butterfly, but oysters well defined. The whole is sound to two thirds down which is not bad for a Classic. Fabulous texture to coat and gleaming with health. Lovely to handle and excellently presented.

Oriental Shaded Neuter
Judged for BOB only and awarded – Hutchings GD PR WILLHAVETODO IMJUSTDIVINE (43e) FN 04/08/07. A lovely but very shy lady who I have judged on very many occasions and have nothing to add to my previous reports. Her coat texture was really super today. For all her shyness she is obviously much loved, judging by her condition and presentation.

Also judged for BOB – Lund’s GD PR SMAUG TY  (43ds) MN 28/02/07. A very handsome boy who was just pipped for BOB by the  overall style of the winner today. He has some very good qualities, type very good, eye colour good, and his red coat colour is quite rich in tone for a silver cat. I would just like to see clearer definition between shading and under coat, in places it is not very easy to see. Super coat texture, short close and very sleek. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Blue Point Siamese Adult Male
1st CC w/h – Richardson’s PENDLEMIST HI GRISSOM 27/04/08. A very stylish boy but his lack of maturity and somewhat dubious colouring precluded the awarding of the certificate today. Typey but rather effeminate head with wide top line and large wide-based ears excellently set,  lacking strength and masculinity  as yet and it was also slightly small in proportion to the body at present. Excellent eye shape and set with mid blue colour. Good profile and chin with level bite. Long very well muscled body, long quite dainty limbs for a male, long whip tail to balance. Points colour dark and appeared to have a slightly brownish overtone, coat lacked glacial tones and was very heavily shaded for a youngster, in a dark brownish blue, on the plus side the length and texture was excellent. For me he is bordering on blue-based caramel particularly as his paw pads are dark mauve, however, in the available light I was not prepared to wrong colour him today.  Excellent temperament condition and presentation.

Blue Point Siamese Adult Female
1st CC w/h – Cousin’s OWAISSA WHIMSICAL MIST 09/12/07. An attractive young miss of very good type but still very much a baby.  Broad medium wedge with wide top and very large ears which she tends to bonnet at times. Eye very oriental  in shape and set with good colour. Good profile and firm chin, muzzle slightly over fine and unfortunately the bite is undershot. Dainty body that needed a little more substance today  - persistent calling perhaps? Long dainty limbs and spoon paws, whip tail needs a touch more length to balance. Soft mid blue points well matched with lightly shaded coat that was rather fine and soft in texture, thus quite fluffy and could lie closer. Very sweet tempered, purred the while time, excellently presented.

2nd – Davis’ BURNTHWAITES SUPERTROUPER  15/08/08. A good sized lady of overall good type. Medium length head with good top line and proportionate ears well set. Oriental eye shape and set with mid blue colour. Strong profile and spot on chin of good depth and level bite. Long substantial body and long limbs, tail needs an inch to balance. Points colour rather dark but matched well. Coat shows some glacial tones and is lightly shaded to tone with the points, length good but texture a little fine. Rather shy but very gentle and easy to handle, beautifully presented.

Chocolate Point Siamese Adult Male
CC & BOB – Gibbons’ GD CH FOXTWIST AL FRESCO 14/01/99. Super chap, excellent type and  lovely size,  he is really masculine and in immaculate condition for a 10 year old. Strong broad medium wedge with excellent top line and very large wide based ears set to balance. Oriental eye shape and set with good depth of blue for a cat of this age.   Small dip to nose and good chin, bite untidy but he still has some incisors remaining and it looks level. Excellent substance to long really well muscled body, long strong limbs and spoon paws, tapered tail almost balances, stud tail  better today. Points a touch dark but warm in tone, with good colour evident on the limbs, mask shows a little brindling. Completely unshaded coat - most impressive and very rarely seen these days, length good, texture a touch soft but lies well. Perfect to handle and excellently presented.

Chocolate Point Siamese Adult Female
1st CC w/h – Petty’s SHIMMERKIM APRILSUNSHINE 01/04/08. A typey young queen with a very well balanced and stylish head,  top line very good, ears large flared and very well set. Typical eye shape and set with mid blue colour.  Dip to profile centre nose, chin okay, bite lacks several incisors already but looks reasonably level. Elegant neck and long slender but firm toned body, slender limbs and whippy tail to balance.  Points colour dark, she does have a little  warmth of tone but for me she was too dark for the certificate today,  the mask was also rather patchy with very pale whisker pads. Almost clear coat that was cold in tone for a chocolate, but length and texture very good. Excellent to handle and excellently presented.

Caramel Point Siamese Kitten Male
1st – Green’s BELROO PEPPIEMINT MN 24/08/08. Almost adult and still has a lot of developing to do. Type good but colouring rather dubious. Medium wedge with good top of head and proportionate ears well set.  Eyes a little small and slightly exaggerated in shape and set, colour mid blue.  Slight dip to nose, firm chin and level bite. Good length and substance to body but somewhat out of balance with the  head at the moment  which look small in proportion, slender limbs, tapered tail need a little more length to balance. This lads points colour is very much an in-betweeny, neither caramel nor lilac. He lacks the pinkish tones of lilac but he  is quite pale for caramel and is more blue toned than anything, there is a hint of brown on the tail and under the feet but that needs to develop a good deal more. The coat colour is a little too warm for caramel, although his paw pads are correct. Maybe it will become clearer as he ages. Very good length and texture to coat. Super temperament and excellently presented

Caramel Point Siamese Kitten Female
1st & BOB – Green’s BELROO HONEYSUCKLE 24/08/08. His sister, on the other hand, is  very good example of caramel at this stage of her development.  Like her brother she is a touch dainty for her age, but she had considerably better type and style than he does.  Super little head with excellent top and large flared ears set to balance. Oriental eye shape and set with an inscrutable expression and very good depth of colour. Tiny dip to nose, good chin and bite.  Dainty but firm and weighty body of good length, dainty limbs and neat paws, whip tail to balance.  Good fudgey-toned lilac-based caramel points. Lightly shaded off white coat, still a little baby soft and fine. A friendly girl, beautifully presented.

Tabby Point Siamese Kitten Male
1st – Hirst’s TOGHAR BYDESIGN (32/3) 12/10/08.  A great big, very well grown and well developed kitten, dwarfing the others  in this class, yet he is only about 5 weeks older than a couple of them.  Type very good with well balanced wedge, top line good and ears large and very well set. Oriental eye shape and set with good depth of  blue. Almost straight profile, chin okay and bite level.  Super substance to long well developed body, manubrium slightly prominent today, hopefully this will become less evident as he muscles up, long strong limbs and oval paws,  tail almost balances. Mid chocolate tabby markings which looked warmer in tone than when we last met and they match very well for tone now, with single cheek ribbons, slightly blurred scarab and large thumb prints, bracelets now show, tail half ringed. Pale unshaded coat of slightly fine texture. Perfect temperament, made very enthusiastic puddings, it was very close for the BOB. Beautifully presented.

2nd – Budden’s JOMESE MUMBO JUMBO (32/1) 06/11/08. This is a very attractive kitten for type but he is rather small for 6 months of age.  Short strong little head with wide top and large wide based ears set to follow. Very good eye shape and set with excellent colour, brilliant sapphire blue. Tiny dip to nose, chin could be a little firmer but bite level. Long solid little body with neat limbs and paws,  long tail to balance. Very dark seal tabby markings that were rather indistinct, with single cheek tracings and pale bracelets, tail one third ringed.  Soft fine baby coat as yet, very lightly shaded overall to tone. A dear baby beautifully presented.

3rd – Webster’s JOMESE JESSIE JAMES (32/1) 06/11/08. Litter brother to the above and quite similar to him in many ways with very good overall type and style, albeit also  rather small for over  6 months. Well balanced head with very good top and large ears very well set.  Good shape and set to eyes with sweet expression and brilliant blue colour. Slight dip to nose that had two tiny bald spots in the centre, good chin, but bite slightly over at present. Body has good length and, while he is not exactly light weight, he does lack  the substance of his brother, dainty limbs and neat paws, tail almost balances.  Warm dark seal tabby markings that could be more distinct, with large pale thumb prints, single ribbons, paler bracelets and tail one third ringed. Lightly shaded coat of soft fine baby texture. Another dear boy beautifully presented.

4th – Chilcott’s ANUBIS RAVELS BOLERO (32/2) 04/01/09. A very sweet lad of good type. Medium length head with fairly good top line and large ears set marginally close for balance. Eyes full in shape and rather large in proportion to the head, but colour excellent, really brilliant sapphire blue, there is also a slight hint of a “look” at present. Good profile and chin with level bite. Dainty body of good length with a surprisingly weighty feel to it, dainty limbs and paws, super long string-like tail to balance. Soft pale blue tabby markings – most attractive, with excellent pattern, double ribbons, clear scarab, multi bracelets and excellently ringed tail. Pale and virtually un-shaded coat of good close texture.  Lovely temperament and excellently presented.

Tabby Point Siamese Kitten Female
1st & BOB  - Meeking’s RANTIPOLE ENIGMA (32t8) 06/12/08. A quality kitten, dainty and stylish with  very good head type.  Top line wide and she holds her large ears perfectly in line with the wedge.  Excellent shape and set to eyes with brilliant colour. Tiny dip to nose, chin firm and bite level. Long slender but weighty body with a very good firm tone to it, dainty limbs and neat spoon paws, super long whip tail to balance. Points colouring rather too pretty for caramel at present but that could very well be the effect of the warm apricot  mingling that predominates on the ears. She shows so very little base colour that it is difficult to be sure at the moment. Unusually for a tortie tabby she has thumb prints, and the remainder of the tabby pattern is also very good with rings along most of the length of the tail. Creamy coat, perhaps  marginally warm in tone for caramel, completely unshaded, texture still a little baby fine but lies close. A very chatty young miss, excellently presented.

2nd – Granger’s WANDERING THATCHERS GOLD (32/3) 07/11/08. A very well grown  little girl with a good substantial feel to her. Good head though not quite the style of the winner, top line good and the ears are large and well set. Good shape to eyes held slightly wide, colour a good depth of blue. Tiny dip to nose, firm chin and level bite, marginal pinch to muzzle.  Long weighty and substantial body with  long limbs, tail almost balances.  Very good warm mid chocolate tabby markings, good clear scarab and thumb prints, multi but very pale bracelets and well ringed tail. Unshaded creamy coat of slightly fine texture but lying close. A lovely baby to handle, she was much more outgoing this time, in tip top condition and  presented beautifully.

Blue Point Siamese  Neuter Male
BOB – Pounds’ IMP GD PR JOMESE JACKSTHELAD 07/04/05. Long time no see, this  very handsome boy with the  serene expression. Excellent head, perhaps a touch effeminate but very stylish, with lovely wide top and large flared ears set to follow. Excellent eye shape and set with vibrant blue colour. Bit of a dip to nose now, chin okay, bite a little untidy but level. Long weighty body with figure reasonably trim, long slender limbs and neat spoon paws, long well tapered tail to balance. Soft mid blue points colour, I fancy they are  a tad darker than they used to be but they are still very good indeed, and they match. Excellent length and texture to coat, showing some glacial tones to bib and tummy but otherwise now shaded overall in pale blue. A joy to handle as always – still enjoys his shows. Beautifully presented.

Caramel Point Siamese Neuter Male
PC – Hutchings’ PR WILLHAVETODO SIRPERCY (24n) 27/05/06. It has been my pleasure to judge this lad so many times that there isn’t really very much more that I can say about him.  His figure tends to expand on occasions – today he was definitely on the portly side, and whereas I do empathise, it  does tend to spoil his overall elegance somewhat. There is the usual patchy shaded area over his lower back which  I had always  assumed  was as a result of plucking or over-grooming, but I have since been told he likes the heat rather too much, silly boy. Overall type very good with a very snooty looking nose. His colouring is excellent, I would just like the eye colour a bit deeper. Super temperament, I do enjoy our cuddles. Excellently presented.

Caramel Point Siamese Neuter Female
PC & BOB – Davies’ PR RENDZINA PUSSY GALORE 13/09/06. A very stylish and feminine lady neuter, it was very close for BOB between her and the boy with  eye colour and elegance being the difference between them. Very good head with wide top line and large wide based ears set to balance.  Oriental shape to eyes, marginally straight set, colour excellent, deep vivid blue.  Good profile and chin with level bite.  Well covered but reasonably trim body of good length, dainty limbs and spoon paws, tail almost balances. Very good points colour, lilac-based caramel with the correct brownish overtone and matching. Lightly shaded off white coat of very good length and texture.  Handled very well and was excellently presented.

END OF REPORT

Would exhibitors please note, that I have not reported on my Miscellaneous classes on this occasion due to the number of Open reports, and the lack of time to do them. I do, however, keep all my notes for about 2 months and you are welcome to email me for a short miscellaneous report giving just the salient points, should you wish to do so.

My thanks to Jean, Brenda and the committee for inviting me back to Midland Counties. As always, a well run show, popular with exhibitors. I had a lovely day, lots of very nice cats and I would like to thank my husband, Steve, for stewarding for me.

AV SLH IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE
IGC, BAILEY’S GR CH NICADAEMUS ROMANY MAGIC, 13c2, 19.01.08
Blue Point Birman. Sixteen months old tomorrow, and this boy is a very impressive young man showing very pleasing Birman type. Lovely strong broad rounded skull with wide placed ears of good medium size. Large eyes, medium tone of blue and almost round in shape. Very well filled cheeks, slight dip to the medium length nose, though he does have a slight nose bump present. Level bite. Well developed muzzle, full chin in balance with the rest of the head. Breadth to chest, long muscular body with a very solid feel to it. Substantial boning to medium length limbs, short strong paws. Very well furnished bushy tail, proportionate to body length. Well developed mid blue mask and ears, limbs and tail slightly paler in tone. Rounded shape to white gloves, nicely marked socks of even length and covering the back feet. Full gauntlets, tapering well to end in points, finishing about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks. Long pale bluish white coat with a full ruff framing the face. A very nice young man all round, beautifully presented and lovely to handle.
RESERVE, ALLEN’S GR CH CARAMLEIGH SPRINGTIME BEAU, 13c15, 21.03.07
Red Tabby Point Birman. A mature male of two years and nine months. He has a lovely broad masculine head, rounded in shape with full round cheeks. Medium sized ears, sitting wide apart on the head. Large eyes, not quite round in shape and mid blue in colour. Medium length nose, slight dip present, though like my winner, he also has a small bump present. Muzzle area not quite as developed as the winner and his chin could be a little firmer, and this came into play when deciding on the placings. Level bite. Good long body, weighty and substantial, well boned medium length limbs leading to short strong paws. Tail balanced the body well, it was beautifully furnished with a bushy texture. Medium length coat to the body, typical of a working boy heading into summer months, though the texture was silky and he had a nicely grown ruff. The body colour was pale cream. Rich red tabby points with a light apricot base colour, They were well developed with thumb prints on the ears, spectacles and spotted whisker pads to the head. He had a well marked ‘M’ to the forehead. His limbs exhibited broken stripes and there were rings to the tail which ended with a solid tip.

AV SLH IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE
IGC, WHITMARSH’S GR CH NORACOON MOLEPOLOPE (TICA CH), 64 41esw, 01.05.07
Classic Silver Tortie-Tabby & White Maine Coon. A very large and beautifully balanced female, who looked lovely today. Large ears, well, furnished with tips and tufts, sitting high on the head and about an ear’s width apart. Head of medium length, well developed high cheeks and a very good overall length to breadth ratio. Slightly obliquely set green eyes, spaced well apart and large in size. Nose shows a concave curve in profile. Very well defined square muzzle leading to a firm deep chin. Level bite. Wonderful rectangular body, really long and heavy, in balance with the head. Really large boning to legs and round tufted paws. Long tail, nicely furnished and flowing, reaching the shoulders. Excellent length and texture to the coat, ruff framing the face, coat shorter over the shoulders and increasing in length down the back and sides of the body. Really glossy guardhairs covering the undercoat. Very well grown breeches. Generally well marked classic pattern, especially for a tortie and she has a lot of red in the coat throughout the head, body, tail and limbs. My only real criticism of her would be that I would like to see more silver base colour to the coat. The silver is present, though I would term it ‘low expression’. However this girl is such a wonderful example of the Maine Coon breed that I am prepared to forgive this factor. Her presentation was immaculate and she was super to handle.   
RESERVE, METHVEN’S GR CH LADYPAWS MARSHMALLOW, 13c10, 09.02.07
Lilac Tortie Point Birman. Another lovely girl, so very unlucky to meet my winner in this class as she is also a very nice example of the breed. Whilst not being the biggest Birman female on the bench she is beautifully proportioned and balanced. Rounded skull, broad yet feminine with full round cheeks. Ears of good medium size, sitting wide apart on the head. Bright eyes, quite a deep shade of blue and almost round in shape, though. I felt that perhaps they were marginally deep set. Good slight dip in profile to a nose of medium length. Level bite. Well developed muzzle, full chin. Broad chest, long body with a deceptively substantial feel to her. Nicely boned legs, medium length and ending with short paws. Bushy tail, balancing the body very well. Pale magnolia body colour, coat of excellent length of the time of year and it felt so very silky. Very well marked points, all showing both lilac and various depths of cream. The points contrasted well with the magnolia body colour. Front feet had gloves which angled outwards, ending below the stopper pad at the back and covering all toes. Right sock was marginally longer than the left, though perfectly acceptable. Gauntlets were of very nice shape and tapered to end in points, finishing just below the hocks. Little to choose between these two and I really had to go through the finer points, such as eye set, just to split them up. This girl was groomed to perfection. Just wish that I had been able to award two certificates. A super class to judge.

TABBY/TORTIE TABBY BIRMAN ADULT MALE
BOB, ALLEN’S GR CH CARAMLEIGH SPRINGTIME BEAU, 13c15, 21.03.07
Red Tabby Point Birman – MY Reserve Imperial winner, reported above.
CC, FRANCIS’ NORVIN ROYALPRIDE, 13c12, 07.06.08
Blue Tabby Point. A well grown eleven month old male showing a good strong broad rounded skull and well placed ears of medium size. Large, almost round eyes, wonderful deep blue colour and surrounded by blue spectacles. Slight dip present to the medium length nose, very small drop off towards the tip. Chin could be a touch firmer to really balance the rest of the head though the bite was level. Long body, typically a little adolescent and rangy as expected at this stage of development, though he has a very muscular feel to him. Balanced limbs, good solid boning, medium in length and leading to short strong paws. Bushy tail, in proportion with the body. Long full coat, very nice silky feel to it, full ruff framing the face. Bluish white body colour, some slightly darker top shading down the back. Quite a deep shade of blue markings contrasting with the light beige agouti ground colour. Well marked mask including an ‘M’ on the forehead, spectacles and spotted whisker pads, with thumb prints to the ears. Broken stripes were present on the limbs and he had a nicely ringed tail. Right glove could have a little more white for perfection on the inner toe, though it was acceptable. The gloves angled outwards. Socks covered the back feet and were quite even in length. Left gauntlet was full, though rounded in shape at the end rather than truly tapering. Left glove tapered well and both ended about halfway up to the hocks. A promising youngster who was great to handle and very well presented.

TABBY/TORTIE TABBY BIRMAN ADULT FEMALE
CC, METHVAN’S LADYPAWS WHIRLYGIG, 13c11, 09.06.08
Seal Tabby Point. Round skull with breadth developing well and cheeks already nicely filled and round in shape. Good balanced medium sized ears, set wide apart on the head. Gorgeous eyes, very expressive, almost round in shape and a stunning deep blue colour. Small nose bump present, though she does have a slight dip to the medium length nose. Level bite.Well developed muzzle, chin rounds off a little though had good fullness. A good sized girl for eleven months old, well muscled and weighty. Well boned medium length limbs, short strong paws. Very well furnished bushy tail, in proportion to the body. Beige body colour showing very good contrast with the seal tabby points, which had dark seal brown markings on a very pale brown agouti base colour. Well ringed tail, broken striped to the limbs and she had well developed thumb prints to the ears. Nicely marked face with clear spectacles around the eyes and lovely spotted whisker pads. Right glove was slightly longer than the left, though did not extend beyond the angle of paw and limb. The left glove covered all toes. Right sock and gauntlet were also slightly longer than the left, though acceptable. Both gauntlets tapered very well. Beautifully groomed and she had a fabulous temperament, purring continually all the time we had her out. 

AC SILVER SOMALI ADULT
CC & BOB, COONEY’S DESIREE SILVER ZE SVOBODY (IMP), 63S, F, 26.10.05
Usual Silver. A medium sized girl with a muscular, lithe body and long elegant limbs leading to tufted paws which were oval shaped. Large ears, set well apart, initially she tended to flare them though they came up to give an alert expression, once her attention was gained. Head shows a moderate wedge with gentle contours and an indentation forming the muzzle. Level bite.I felt that the muzzle tapered very slightly, though this was accentuated by the fact that at the moment she has no ruff to really give that full head balance. Green eyes, almond shaped and set obliquely. Slight nose break with a rise from the bridge to the forehead. She has a small bump towards the tip of the nose. Chin could be a little firmer. Long tail, nicely furnished with quite a full brush and tapering slightly towards the tip. Silvery white base colour, very well ticked with black and she has minimal tarnishing, with a small amount present to feet, muzzle and back. Very well marked black heels, spineline and top of tail. Initially, in the pen, the coat on her back looked a little open, though it laid flat once she was out and the coat texture, despite being short, was soft. She had quite full breeches. I put her coat down to the fact that she is currently hormonal and looked like she was starting to call. Nice to handle.

BROWN/BLUE TABBY/TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON ADULT
CC & BOB, WHITMARSH’S MABALAKAT HELPME RHONDDA, 64 41w, F, 29.06.08
Classic Brown Tabby & White. I was very impressed with this girl’s size, body shape and head strength, especially for a female of only ten and a half months old. Strong feminine medium length head, very good length to breadth ratio with fairly full cheeks which were set high. Quite large ears, set about an ear’s width apart. My main issue with her ears was that she had extremely broad tufts which do not really taper and consequently they appear to make the ears appear to be falling sideways. However, the tufts are just the decoration and the rest of the cat is so nice that I forgave them, though I do feel that they are rather extreme. Green eyes, slightly obliquely set, marginally deep set.  Good shallow concave curve to the nasal profile. Level bite. Good definition to the square muzzle, firm deep chin. Broad chest leading to a long rectangular body, very muscular and substantial with heavy boning to legs and large round feet. Wonderful tail, for both length and furnishings. Coat of excellent length and texture with a full ruff framing the face. Good glossy topcoat covering the undercoat, shorter over the shoulders and increasing in length down the back and sides of the body. White flash up the face, full white collar and white to limbs and tummy. Nicely marked classic tabby with a rich beige agouti base colour. Super to handle and presented in tiptop condition.
2ND WHITE’S SHEERCLASS BLUE MOON, 64 41a, F, 12.08.08
Blue Tabby. Only just old enough to be in adult classes and I really did like this young lady. She has a very alert expression with really large, well furnished ears, sitting high on the head, just under an ear’s width apart. They should look really nice once she develops her full adult breadth. The ears were well furnished with tips and tufts. Good medium length to the head, just starting to broaden with cheeks starting to fill. Cheek bones were set high. Large, slightly obliquely set green eyes. Good shallow concave curve to the nose, square muzzle, firm chin of very good depth. Level bite. Lovely long rectangular body, typically adolescent though of very good muscularity and weight for age. Really large solid boning to limbs and paws. Beautifully furnished flowing tail, broad at the base and tapering slightly towards the tip, length balanced the body and reached the shoulders. Currently ion shorter coat, ruff starting to lengthen, quite full breeches. Well marked classic pattern to sides of body, limbs and head, a little solid down the spinline. Second in this class as her head has yet to broaden. A very pleasing female, who shows potential. She was very well presented and lovely to handle.
3RD ROBERTS’ KATMEA SAHARA, 64 41, F, 07.05.08
Classic Brown Tabby. The oldest of the three girls in this class, though still a baby at twelve months old. She has really large ears, set high and about an ear’s width apart. The ears are well furnished, sporting tips and tufts, and together with the ear size and set, she has a very alert hunter-like expression. Head of good overall length, now needing to broaden to really balance with cheeks now staring to fill out. Bright eyes, set nicely and good large size. Very nice profile to the nose, good shallow concave curve. Well defined square muzzle, firm deep chin. Level bite. Really long body, filling out well, good muscle tone. Balanced limbs, nicely boned, round tufted paws. Flowing tail, very well furnished indeed, reaching the shoulders and tapering slightly towards the tip. Unfortunately she had a small fixed hook shaped deviation at the end of the tail, confirmed by the duty vet. Some ruff framing the face, coat typically on the shorter side at the moment, though starting to show an increase down the back and sides of the body with well grown breeches. She had a nice gloss to the topcoat. At the moment she is rather hormonal, and looked like she was coming into season, consequently she was not as relaxed as she could have been. Nicely groomed for the show.

AOC MAINE COON KITTEN MALE
1ST TURNER’S CAROLEMAINE GENERAL LEE, 64 41dw, 18.11.08
Classic Red Tabby & White. A very long bodied young man indeed and already nicely muscled. Huge ears, well furnished with tips and tufts. Head a little extreme and long at the moment, though once his masculine adult breadth develops, it should balance well. Pale gold eyes, set slightly obliquely. Shallow concave curve to the nose. Square muzzle, firm chin. Level bite. Chest currently a little on the narrow side, as is his body, but at not quite six months, he still has plenty of time to fill out. Long limbs, well boned. Nicely furnished tail reaching the shoulders. Shorter kitten coat, some ruff around the neck. Glossy topcoat with a little undercoat present, quite full breeches. Well marked classic tabby pattern with white to nose, chin, bib, chest, underbody and all four feet. Altogether, he has lots of positive attributes, everything just needs to develop and come together. He was lovely to handle and well presented.

AOC MAINE COON KITTEN FEMALE
What a class! Every one of these girls could have won this one, they were all lovely and I had a very hard trying to split them up and place them. The lower placings do not really do justice to the individuals, just a quality class altogether. Thank you exhibitors.
1ST & BOB, HARDWICK’S RUTTERKIN SKYBLUE PINK, 64 22a, 17.01.09
Blue-Cream & White. I really liked this young lady a great deal. Large, well furnished ears, sitting just under an ear’s width apart and very well furnished with tips and tufts. Head developing very well indeed, good medium length and already showing very good breadth for a young kitten with cheeks developing very well. Quite deep tone to the gold eyes, set well in a slight oblique. Good square muzzle, very well defined. Level bite. Firm deep chin. Long body, weighty and with a muscular feel to her. Substantial boning to legs and large round paws. Long tail, reaching the shoulders with furnishings lengthening well, the tail is very well furnished for a young kitten. Soft kitten coat, with undercoat and longer glossy guardhairs. Well mingled coat showing a mixture of quite deep blue and various shades of cream. White to chin, chest, tummy, bib and feet. I was really impressed with this girl’s head development for one so young. She was lovely to handle and very well groomed.
2ND PASSEY’S SNOOCOONS KALEIDOSCOPE, 64 41ew, 23.11.08
Classic Tortie-Tabby & White. Joint oldest in the class at five months and three weeks, and this girl was positively huge for her age, a very substantial and well grown girl indeed. Head of very good shape and development, already showing well filled cheeks and lovely breadth to length ratio to the medium length head. Really large ears, though at the moment I feel that they sit a little too close together, being only about an inch apart when she is alert. They also sit slightly forward and for me this detracts from the overall expression a little, especially since she has such good breadth to head. However, I hope that as her head develops further, the breadth between the ears will widen and therefore look more balanced. Lovely bright green eyes, set in a good slight oblique. Nose shows a very small drop-off towards the end though she does have a good shallow concave curve to the profile. Good square muzzle leading to quite a firm and deep chin. Level bite. Lovely body all round, long and rectangular, showing wonderful substance and size. Tail reached the shoulders and was very well furnished indeed. Coat very well developed for age, glossy topcoat and undercoat evident. Very well marked classic tabby pattern, showing a mingled mixture or red and brown classic tabby with a nice level of white. If the breadth between the ears develops, this girl could be a real major player in the future. Presented in lovely condition and great to handle.
3RD HEWITT’S CHATTACOON DOLLY MIXTURE, 64 31et, F, 13.01.09
Classic Tortie-Tabby & White. A young girl of seventeen weeks with a very alert expression indeed. Huge ears, looking a bit extreme at the moment though they should look very nice indeed once she grows into them. They were nicely furnished and set high on the head, just under an ear’s width apart. Head of medium length with cheeks starting to fill out and she has well set high cheek bones. Large eyes, nicely set in a slight oblique, colour currently changing, at the moment they are haze/green and I suspect that they will be green eventually. Shallow concave nasal curve. Level bite. Well defined square muzzle leading to a firm chin. Lovely long body, nice muscle tone, substantial boning to legs and round tufted paws. Long tail, reaching the shoulders, furnishings lengthening. White flash going up the nose, white to underbody, paws and chest. Vibrant patches of red and brown tabby with some mingling of both colours. Very well marked classic tabby pattern. Currently a typical softer baby coat of nice length with some ruff and breeches. Nice glossy topcoat. She was a little unsure and her coat was a little open underneath, though I put this down to nerves. By the afternoon, when I visited her after I had finished judging, she was much more relaxed and confident. I look forward to seeing how this girl develops as she has ‘the look’ and potential for the future.
4TH LAKE’S KATEMAZ VODKA ICE, 64 14c, 18.12.08
Green Eyed White. Another promising baby showing very good had development and very pleasing type. Large ears, nicely furnished and set about an ear’s width apart on the head. Lovely head shape with a shallow concave curve, high set cheek bones and cheeks already fairly full, very well defined square muzzle and good strength and depth to the chin. Level bite. Pale green eyes, slightly obliquely set, just a little deep set. She does have a slight nose bump present. Long rectangular body, good substantial feel, nicely boned limbs and paws. Tail furnishings developing well, tail just about reaches the shoulders, though ideally could be a fraction longer. Some ruff framing the face, coat shorter over the shoulders and increasing in length down the back and sides of the body, a little open underneath. Pure white coat, one patch of grey between the ears which is typical of a kitten. I was very impressed with this kitten’s type, pure white Maine Coons with such good type are not seen regularly on the show bench and she does have lovely type. I look forward to watching her development over the coming months. She was super to handle.
5TH JONES’ JEMAHAN TINKERBELLS MAGIC, 64 41e, F, 23.11.08
Classic Tortie-Tabby. Fifth place doesn’t really tell you how nice this girl is. At the moment I would term her as ‘extreme’ with a longer, narrower head rather than truly medium, though once the breadth develops, she should look really nice all round. Cheeks yet to fill out though, she has good high set cheek bones. Lovely large ears, set just under an ear’s width apart, well furnished with tips and tufts. Eye colour currently a blend of gold and green, large in size and set slightly obliquely. Shallow concave curve to the nose, square muzzle, nice depth and strength to chin. Level bite. Really good length to the body, currently she stands rather high on the legs, due to the fact that she has a short coat, though the limbs are well boned and she has good large round paws. Lovely long tail, easily reaching the shoulders with furnishings developing length. Short soft kitten coat, very well mingled mix of red and brown tabby with nicely marked classic pattern, guardhairs developing length. This girl is nice, everything is there and just needs to come together now. She was beautifully groomed and great to handle.

Dr P Collin

Many thanks to Jean and Brenda and the Midland committee for their very kind invitation to judge this year. I had a lovely day accompanied by Sally Giles who is a calm and efficient steward. I had some very good quality Burmese today and would like to thank all the exhibitors for allowing me to assess their cats.
Class 404 Cream Burmese Kitten
1st and BOB Robinson’s Molynmeux Gold Dust (27f) M 23/12/08
Lovely cream kitten of very good Burmese type. He has a short wedge with very good width at his cheekbones and tapering to a short and blunt muzzle of good width. The top of his head is well rounded and he has good width between his ears that are set wide apart- although I would have preferred them very slightly lower for preference. His ears are medium in size and have a broad base and rounded tips. His eyes are fairly large and are set well apart. They have a lovely well defined shape with a well rounded bottom line and a flatter top line that is angled towards his nose. He has a very good Burmese expression. In profile the depth of his head is good and his ears show a slight forward tilt. His brow is gently rounded and his nose break is well defined. His nose is fairly short and straight except for a small bump. It finishes in the same vertical plane as his chin that is medium in depth. His bite is correct. His body is a nice size for his age and he felt heavy and has good developing muscularity. His chest is rounded and his back is straight. His tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is long enough to balance. His coat is medium in length and soft textured and lay well. He is a nice pale cream with some powdering already evident on his head. He is clear coated except for 1 smudge on each hind leg and a single well broken necklace. His condition is very good and he was very engaging and really just wanted up to play!

Class 774 AC Cat not having won a CC
1st Bowen’s Janzanco Go-Man-Go (27d) M 19/7/08
A shy boy in very good condition. He has quite a nice short wedge with good width at his cheekbones and then tapering to a slightly long muzzle with a blunt finish. The top of his head shows good rounding with fairly good width between his ears that are set wide apart and do just continue the shape of the upper part of his face. His ears are medium in size and have a broad base and rounded tips. His eyes are medium/large in size and set wide apart. There is not enough difference between the top and bottom lines and they were a full almond shape today. They are golden yellow in colour and his eye shape spoilt his expression. In profile his depth of head is good and his ears show a slight forward tilt. His brow is a little flat and long and his nose break needs more definition. His nose is a little long and straight and his chin is medium in depth and a little set back. His bite is correct. His body is well grown and he feels firm and muscular with good conformation. His tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is long enough to balance. His coat is a little long on his back but lay well and has a soft texture. He is a moderately bright tangerine colour stronger on his spine line and paling over his sides. He is clear coated. His temperament is good and he has a shy and gentle nature.
2nd Clarke’s Dorevalley Saphira (27a) F 13/2/06
A mature girl but felt a little out of condition today. She has a moderately short wedge with only reasonable width at her cheekbones and tapering to a longish muzzle with a blunt finish. She has fairly good rounding to the top of her head but a heavy brow and only reasonable width between her ears that need to be set lower. Her ears are medium in size and have a correct broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes are large in size and set fairly well apart and are a little deep set. They have a correct rounded bottom line and flatter top line angled towards her nose. They are chartreuse in colour and she has a reasonable Burmese expression. In profile the depth of her head is fairly good and her ears show slight forward tilt. Her brow is gently rounded but a little long and her nose break is well defined. Her nose is a little long and straight and her chin is of shallow depth and is set back. Her bite is correct. Her body is compact and a little light and bony along her back. Her chest is rounded and her back is straight. Her tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is long enough to balance. Her coat is a little long but lies well with a soft texture. She is a mid-toned blue with silvering on her head, legs and paws. She is clear coated and her condition is fair and her temperament was calm and friendly.
3rd Edwards’s Jacou Devilin Bluejeans (27a) F 16/10/07
A mature girl who was a little fed up. She has a medium length wedge with fair width at her cheekbones and tapering to a longish muzzle with a blunt finish. The top of her head shows reasonably good rounding and fairly good width between her ears that are set fairly wide apart. Her ears are medium in size with a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes are medium in size and need to be set somewhat wider apart. They have a fairly well defined shape with a flatter top line but would need to have more rounding to the bottom line to be ideal. They are chartreuse in colour and she has a fairBurmese expression. In profile the depth of her head is slightly shallow and her ears show a slight forward tilt. Her brow is gently rounded and her nose break is a little indistinct. Her nose is a little long but straight and finishes in the same vertical plane as her chin that is slightly shallow in depth. Her bite is correct. Her body is compact in size but with good muscularity and her chest is rounded and her back straight. Her tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is long enough to balance. Her coat is medium in length and soft in texture and a dark blue with minimal silvering. She is clear coated in good condition. She was happy to be handled but happier in her pen.

2 super girls!
1st Shoemark and Smithson’s Boofykatz Blue Bianca (27a) F 16/4/06
An extremely attractive baggage. She has a short wedge with very good width at her cheekbones and tapering to a short muzzle with a blunt finish. The top of her head shows very good rounding and she has very good width between her ears that are set well apart and continue nicely the shape of the upper part of her face. Her ears are medium in size and have a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes are a super large size and are set well apart and have a very well defined shape with a well rounded bottom line and a flatter top line angled towards her nose. They are chartreuse in colour and she has a very good Burmese expression. In profile the depth if her head is good and her ears show a slight forward tilt. Her brow is gently rounded and her nose break is well defined. Her nose is fairly short and straight and finishes in the same vertical plane as her chin that is medium in depth. Her bite is correct. Her body is medium in size with good muscularity and weight. Her chest is rounded and her back is straight. Her tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is long enough to balance. Her coat is soft and fairly short in length. She is a mid toned blue with some silvering and she is clear coated. Her condition is very good and she had enough attitude to enhance her expression but was not at all nasty.

2nd Gorman’s Molynmeux Demeuxre (27c) F 7/12/07
A super girl I have judged before who has lovely Burmese type and expression. She has a short wide wedge with very good width at her cheekbones and tapering to a fairly short blunt finished muzzle. She has very good rounding to the top of her head and with very good width between her ears that were set well apart and the outer line of her ears nicely continued the shape of the upper part of her face. Her ears are medium/large in size and are the correct shape having a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes are large and lustrous and set well apart and have an excellent shape with a well defined rounded bottom line and a straighter top line angled towards her nose although I preferred the slightly more acute angle of the top line displayed by the class winner. They are chartreuse in colour. She has a very good Burmese expression. In profile her skull depth is a little shallow. Her brow is gently rounded and her ears show a slight forward tilt. Her nose break is very well defined and she has a short straight nose that ended in the same vertical plane as her chin that is slightly shallow in depth. Her bite is correct. Her body is well grown and she has fairly good muscularity. Her chest is rounded and her back is straight. She has elegant legs and neat oval shaped paws. Her tail is of the correct length to balance and has a medium thick base and tapers to a rounded tip. Her coat is medium in length and soft in texture and has a nice glossy finish. She is a warm mid-toned lilac with pinkish tones evident. She is clear coated. Her condition is very good and she handled well although was not as settled as last time we met.  A very nice exhibit indeed.        

Class 785 AC Kitten 3-6 months
1st Williams’s Molynmeux Zazeux (27j) F 23/12/08
A lovely kitten of superb Burmese type. She has a short wide wedge with excellent width at her cheekbones and tapering beautifully to a short but still wide muzzle with a lovely blunt finish. She has very good rounding to the top of her head and very good width between her ears that are set wide apart and continue the shape of the upper part of her face. Her eyes are large in size- to be ultra-critical they could be slightly larger for perfection- and set wide apart and have a very well defined shape with a well rounded bottom line and a flatter top line that was at its best as she relaxed. They are a good yellow colour and she has an excellent Burmese expression. In profile the depth of her head is good and her ears show a slight forward tilt. Her brow is gently rounded and her nose break is fairly well defined. Her nose is fairly short and straight except for a very small bump.

Her chest is rounded and her back is straight and she has long legs and neat oval shaped paws. Her tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is just long enough to balance. Her coat is medium in length and soft in texture and lies well. She is a mixture of lovely pale cream and lilac that is well mingled. She is clear coated. Her condition is very good and she wanted to play longer! An extremely promising kitten.

A very nice mature chap of good Burmese type. He has a short wedge with very good width at his cheekbones and tapering to a slightly long muzzle with a lovely blunt finish.

wedge, gently rounded top of head, well rounded brow. Well defined nose break,
level, firm chin, correct bite. Lovely size, shape and set to chartreuse eyes when he
could be bothered to open them! Shapely, well set ears completed his typical
Burmese “look”. Very short, sleek, warm mid brown coat of silk like texture. Good
natured and enjoyed his cuddle.

rounding to top of head and brow. Distinct nose break, level, though very shallow

shape and size, though he was holding them so very low, in fact almost horizontal, I
suspect this had something to do with his bad mood. Short, very close lying, silk

shallow chin, correct bite. Lustrous chartreuse, very expressive eyes, showing a

account for her slightly open coat today.

rounded top of head and brow, very well defined profile break, level chin of

Mr J Hansson

My grateful thanks to Both Jean & Brenda for my invitation, busy day & a full book, some extremely impressive exhibits, wonderful weather.  To Tom Cassar-Simmonds my thanks for his assistance on the day, performed his duties well  particularly in view of the wide range of breeds handled many of which he was unfamiliar with.  One note of comment I never did get lunch they seemed to run out of everything very quickly.    

Burmese Imperial Grand Champion, Female;
IMP GR CH WILSHAW'S  GR CH ROSSIKHAN CUPCAKE.  27b.   16-08-07.  Chocolate, simply drooly lady, who looked simply gorgeous & oozing type.  Short wide wedge, excellent blunt muzzle, well rounded top in both directions, deep break short nose, excellent chin lining up to the nose, excellent bite.  Ears larger medium size, beautifully placed, with their wide base & hint of forward tilt, rounded tips.  Stunning eyes, large with well emphasised shape having deeply curved lower line with gentle slant off the top, lustrous chartreuse colour with a wonderfully wicked expression combined with a slight quizzical gleam.  Body whilst still quite dainty is beautifully proportioned & surprising weight behind her for her size, lovely tone, slim legs & neat feat, quite a fine tail slihgtly short of shoulder & with rounded tip.  Superb coat, short, close & beautifully prepared, lovely satiny finish, sleek glossy sheen.  Rich warm chocolate colour without undue contrast.  Her condition was superb & she was a perfect dream to handle, later Best Overall Burmese & was the runner up to my Overall Best in Show winner, she really was Drop Dead Gorgeous, a lovely way to lift your day (wasn’t meant to sound poetic).  
RES IMP GR CH BRIDGES'S  GR CH ARTRO BLUE DIAMOND.   27a.  21-08-04.  Blue, most attractive madam with lovely type, quite a degree of attitude.  Excellent head type, short wide wedge, blunt muzzle, rounded top line, break well in  evidence, good chin & level bite.  Ears well set, touch of forward tilt with wide base & rounded tips, very good medium size.  Eyes large, shape well defined, chartreuse colour, flashing with indignation, really looking the part.  Excellent firm weighty body, the legs well shaped & with neat oval paws, tail of medium thickness a little short of shoulder, rounded tip.  Beautifully sleek short well prepared coat, very close lying, excellent texture.   The colour was a very attractive even mid blue tone with soft sheen visible on the shorter more rounded areas.  Condition was splendid, feisty madam with quite a lot to say for herself, none of which was polite, but gave her a little impact.

Oriental Grand Champion, Male;
IMP GR CH & RES IMP GR CH Not Awarded.  1st  ARMITAGE'S  GR CH CHAPELROSE OHMEOHMY.  37a.  13-11-07.  Blue, I love the type of this lad but sadly for me he lacks both the masculinity & stature that this level of certificate demands.  He has a lovely head with its even lines to the wedge, very good profile, chin has depth but tapers a little, level bite.  Large beautifully set ears, excellent wide open flared base, beautifully set in a fixed position to complement his head lines.  Eyes inscrutable oriental shape & slant, intense vivid green colour, lovely expression, though he does squint on occasion, but this is transient as opposed to fixed.  Elegant neckline, body lithe & well muscled but not the size that I expect of male, slender limbs, neat oval paws, fine whiptail of excellent length to balance.  His coat is beautifully short & very close lying, excellent preparation, sleek finish.  Colour a very dark albeit even shade of blue, beautifully sound.  His condition was superb, wonderfully composed gentle nature, a real dream to handle, never easy to withhold particularly when I am a fan, however I just look at him & think ‘if only you were a girl’ but sadly he’s not.      
2nd  THOMPSON'S  GR CH CLAERPENTON PIMPERNEL.  29c.  23-03-07.    Lilac, by contrast quite a handsome, mature & masculine looking lad but not the sheer style of the previous exhibit.  Longer length wedge, even lines, excellent profile, good chin & bite.  Ears large but require slightly more flare to the base & he pricks them a little high.  Eyes very good shape & set, the colour a rather eau de nil shade of green lacking the vivid tone that the SOP requires ( a priority at this level).  He has a good length of neck, long strong well muscled body, long slim legs, oval paws, the tail requires a little more length to balance the body fully.  His coat was quite close lying, though it could be a little shorter & it is a little harsh along the back area.  Colour was a little uneven with some rusty tinge evident in parts this detracted from the required soft frosty tone & lacked the pink to give warmth.  His condition was excellent & again he has a very gentle & relaxed temperament. 

Selkirk Rex Adult, Male;
1st  IC & BOB.  CREATON & WALKER'S  CURLU NATE  79L 15.  19-04-08.  Black, looking grown up & handsome.  Head has good rounded width to it, well developed fullness at the cheeks, good rectangular muzzle effect with puffed pads, rounded brow, nose falls away slightly, good chin & bite.  Ears are a little wide open at their base, curly inner furnishings, tufted tips, medium size. Eyes large well open & round, colour a greenish hazel tone (not that this is relevant).  Strong neck, good rectangular body with a good degree of muscular substance, well boned legs & good size paws, balanced length moderately heavy tail with a good deal of loose curling plume to it.  Coat very good length with a good degree of curly ruff framing the face, abundant loose curl which parts easily throughout, there is very good density & the curl is soft & unstructured.  Some degree of greying at the edges in the longer areas but as colour is irrelevant I mention this purely for descriptive purposes as he is otherwise quite a good black.  His condition excellent & he is a very amicable lad.   
2nd  LEE'S  SEWNSEW WOTSITABOUTALFIE.  79s 16.  14-04-08.  Blue, though the same age as the winner he lacks his maturity & as result still has quite an innocent adolescent look about him.  Head round & possessing a good degree of fullness to his cheeks, still a little fine on the muzzle & not quite the prominence of muzzle, rounded brow, moderately short nose, chin tapers, bite good.  Ears medium size, pricks marginally high, small tufts on the tips, some sparser curls to the interiors.  Eyes round & well open, the colour again  more hazel green tone.  Body not as rectangular as the winner his slightly more compact & cobby, well boned legs & good size paws, the tail quite thick & a good medium length.  Beautiful density to his coat with a soft plush texture to it, lots of loose random curls evident throughout & with typically tighter areas round his neck, throat & tummy.  Colour a pleasing shade of soft blue, the effect further softened by the curl breaking up the colour.  His condition was super & again he was most relaxed & gentle lad.    

British Blue Neuter, Male;
PC & BOB Not Awarded.  1st  PARISH'S KERNMERE BLUE CHESTA. 
16-05-08.  This lad has potential but he is so out of kilter at present, looking very baby faced & the head small in relation to the body, needs quite a bit of time before he gets it all sorted out.  His head though round has to broaden & fill out, particularly the cheeks to give him a more typical British look, good muzzle, the brow rounds to medium nose, adequate chin, bite good. Ears a little large should look much more proportionate when his head develops more, open base, set well.  Eyes well open & round though could be larger, the colour a very good golden orange.  Body though well grown is long & gangly, requiring time to broaden & fill out, a little leggy, good paws, tail in keeping with the body length.  His coat is rather flat at present requiring more density, quite good shorter length, still relatively soft but not altogether out of keeping for his young age.  His colour is quite a soft shade of blue with some tipping present but otherwise sound.  His condition was excellent, he has wonderfully gentle nature, sorry I could not award a PC to celebrate his Birthday, hopefully when he has grown up some……………..!!

British Blue Neuter, Female;
PC & BOB Not Awarded.  1st  MCCONNELL'S  EYTONIA MYSTIC SAPPHIRE.  26-01-07.  Whilst not overly large she was a most attractive girl for type.  Head well rounded with good breadth & fullness to her cheeks, round on the brow, good chin & bite.  Ears smaller medium size, placed well & looking tidy as a result.  Eyes good size,  well open & round but sadly green in colour with not the slightest hint of yellow tone, which was my only reason for not awarding.  Body quite compact & cobby, with proportionate legs & smaller round paws, tail of medium length.  Her coat, marginally soft, reasonable shorter length & quite a good density.  Her colour a mid blue tone, which could ideally have been sounder a little brindled on the tips in places.  Very sweet gentle disposition, her condition also very good. 

Selkirk Rex Neuter, Male;
1st  PC & BOB.  CREATON & WALKER'S  CRINKLES JACK FROST (TICA DGRCH).  79L 15d.  02-05-07.  Red, this lad was looking very finished & poised.  Broad head with rounded appearance & good fullness to the cheeks, slight downward slant to the nose, slight curve to his brow, broad rectangular muzzle, chin could be a little deeper, bite good.  Ears were very placed being set well apart & not distorting the head shape, tufts on the tips & with plenty of loose curly interior furnishings.  Eyes large, well open round shape, light golden colour.  Body has very pleasing solid feel to it, rectangular shape, well boned legs, large paws, plumy full tail which was quite heavy & of medium length.  Lovely soft dense coat which stands from the body with loose unstructured curls well in evidence, the length very good, with a curling ruff, curly tummy, wonderful set of long curling whiskers & eyebrows.  Quite a good bright red tone, which was also reasonably sound (not that it matters).  Condition excellent, very gentle relaxed nature.   
No Award.  WALKER'S  AMAZOLOU MISTER FANTASTIC.  79L  36.  
03-04-07.  Red Smoke, almost ditto to the above, in most respects & had he been less difficult the certificate could have gone either way.  Same build, same downward rolled slant to the nose, rectangular puffed whisker pads, his head type excellent, just requiring a little more evidence of nose break, lovely long whiskers & eyebrows with curl present.  Ears medium size fitting well into the head shape, tufted tips. Eyes round, open, good size the colour a deeper orange tone.   Excellent body & plenty of coat, with lots of random unstructured curl to be found, a little denser round the neck.  Decidedly not happy to be handled so his bite was not checked & he really was quite determined that he was not going to allow other than the most minimal of handling, his condition was excellent.    

Chocolate Burmese Adult, Male;
CC Not Awarded.  1st  SOMERFIELD'S  KATZKADE SARACEN.  15-05-08.  Gangly & looking a little unbalanced adolescent.  Head requires a little more width  & a little more blunt effect to the muzzle, top reasonably well rounded, deep stop, marginally long nose, chin slopes a little, bite good.  Ears placed well apart, rounded tips  & good medium size.  Eyes quite large but the shape requiring a little more emphasis to the lower line, chartreuse colour.  Body quite lithe & typically young adolescent leanness on the flanks, still to achieve a boys more solid muscular hardness, slim legs & oval paws, tail of balanced length slightly short of shoulder.  Coat a little open & a little longer in length, as a result lacking the sleekness & satiny finish.  Warm coloured chocolate body but showing rather defined contrast to the mask, ears & tail in particular.  He was very relaxed & good natured, condition very good, some of his current problems are I think transitional, so may well improve with a little more maturity.     

Chocolate Burmese Adult, Female;
1st  CC & BOB.  WILSHAW'S  GR CH ROSSIKHAN CUPCAKE.   ‘Nuff’ said, see Imperial report. 

Cream Burmese Adult, Male;
CC & BOB Not Awarded. 1st  HAGUE'S  COBATEL ODYSSEUS INVELVET.  11-07-08.  Very well grown & well muscled youngster.  Head could be a fraction wider, reasonably short wedge & blunt effect to the muzzle, rather long flat skull, break requires more definition.  Ears medium size, the tips rounded but require a little wider base & touch of forward tilt.  The eye colour is a most pleasing yellowy chartreuse tone but require a more typical deeper curved lower line to give emphasis to the shape & I would prefer these larger.  Strong beautifully muscled body for his young age, well shaped legs, oval paws, well proportioned medium thickness to the tail which is a little short of shoulder with rounded tip.  Close lying coat, good shorter length, well prepared satin like texture.  Colour slightly warm toned cream, with a hint of powdery bloom.  His condition was excellent, a very shy & reserved lad & as result rather tense & not showing to advantage.
2nd  CLARKE'S  DOREVALLEY AKHENATON.  29-04-06.  This lad is excessively hot & in some other breeds would be Apricot, but Burmese do not recognise the colour so I judged him as a poor cream.  He is a powerful & extremely muscular lad but his head is not typical, being rather too even a medium length wedge, with no bluntness to his muzzle, top requires more rounding, shallow break, rather long nose, chin okay, bite good.  Ears are large & rather too low in set, wide base.  Eyes are showing too much evidence of green tones & could be a more defined shape, quite good for size.  Lovely strong body of medium length, super weight for size, with proportionate legs & paws, medium thickness to his tail which is short of shoulder but with a small irregularity.  Coat close lying & well prepared, could be fraction shorter, sleek finish.  His colour is a very intense, very hot glazed cream, with no real evidence of powdering to soften the effect, over the head, shoulder & hocks in particular he has a distinctly metallic sheen.  He was an extremely retiring lad, much preferring the safety afforded by his pen, condition excellent.        

AOC Tortie Burmese Adult;
Considered for & Awarded BOB. RIDDLE'S  GR CH CHATHERA PRECIOUS PEARL.  27h.  31-07-03.  Chocolate, a most pleasing balanced lady of excellent type & also stylish, one of the entries in the Imperial & main contender for the Reserve.  Head has typical short wide wedge, blunt muzzle, top rounds well, very good break, short nose, good depth chin, bite good.  Ears well placed medium size, wide base, gentle hint of forward tilt, round on the tips,  Large expressive eyes, shape well defined at the greener end of the chartreuse range.  Body is firm & beautifully toned, slim legs, oval paws, tail short of shoulder, medium thickness, rounded tip.   Her coat though marginally long was beautifully close lying & has a very good sleek well prepared satin like texture.  Very good combination of colours with warm chocolate & varied shades of red, some patched & some mingled.  Her condition was really excellent & she is a very well mannered lady. 
Also Considered for BOB.  STEPHENS'S  GR CH MILLGILLTHEATRICS.  27j.  14-03-06.  Lilac, pleasing lady with a lovely gentle demeanour.  Head has a moderately short wedge, I would prefer the muzzle a little blunter ideally, top rounds, good break, nose could be a fraction shorter, firm chin & level bite.  Ears medium size, I would have preferred a little wider at the base, rounded tips, pricks a little on occasion.  Eyes could perhaps be slightly larger & required a little more evidence of cupped lower line to give more typical Burmese shape, the colour has a distinct leaning to green, gentle expression.   Lovely firm body tone, well proportioned legs & paws, medium thickness to her tail which is a little short of shoulder.  The coat slightly woolly & as result not quite as sleek but otherwise close lying.  Soft pinky dove grey with shades of cream, couple of slightly warmer toned areas.  Her condition was excellent & she was a very composed lady.   
 
AOC Burmese Kitten;
1st  & BOB.  WILLIAMS'S  MOLYNMEUX ZAZEUX.  27j.  23-12-08.  Lilac, what a lovely kitten full of quality & a wonderful character.  Typical Burmese type with her short wide wedge, blunt muzzle, well rounded top, well defined break, chin & bite both good. Ears quite large, beautifully set, wide base & rounded tips.  Eyes lovely expression, large & well shaped with gentle slant to the top line, light yellowy chartreuse.  Firm little body, with slender limbs, dainty paws, quite fine tail a little short of shoulder, with rounded tip.  Super coat, very short & close lying, satiny texture, glossy sheen.  Most attractive colour, warm soft dove grey with abundant cream in varying cooler shades, very subtle colour tone.  Her condition quite superb with a really charming temperament, later Best Burmese Kitten, congratulations. 

Red Burmese Neuter, Female;
1st  PC & BOB.  SWINGLER'S  CH ADMILBU SWEET CLEMENTINE. 
26-02-00.  Looking good for her mature years.  Head has quite a short wide wedge, the muzzle could be slihgtly more blunted, rounded top in both directions, good break, quite a good chin, gums level no incisors to gauge her bite by.  Ears smaller medium size, touch of forward tilt, well placed, could be a little wider at the base perhaps, rounded tips.  Eyes quite large with upward slant, just requiring the benefit of more deeply curved lower line, chartreuse in colour (slight leaning towards the green end of the range).  Body surprisingly firm & well toned, albeit perhaps a little more rounded in the waistline, slim legs, small neat paws, tail slightly short for balance, rounded tip.  Her coat was a little on the longer side & a touch woolly undercoat due to age, but that aside it was well prepared & was close when stroked, excellent texture.   Colour a bright shade of hot tangerine, which was impressively even.  Her condition was excellent & she was a very relaxed lady.     

AOC Tortie Burmese Neuter;  Exceptionally good class with at least 3 potential BOB winners.
1st & PC  RIDDLE'S  CH OAKFORD DRESS TO IMPRESS.  27j.  27-10-06.  Lilac, mature girl beautifully balanced & with bags of ‘c-attitude’.  Strong balanced head, short wide, blunt wedge, rounded top line, well defined break, good chin & level bite.  Ears set well apart, wide base & showing rounded tips, touch of forward tilt.  Gorgeous eyes, large & with deeply curved lower line, slanted top, chartreuse colour, withering expression.  Lovely firm body of medium length, slim legs, neat dainty paws, well shaped tail of well balanced length.  Wonderful coat, very sleek & well prepared, short & close lying.  Warm lilac with frosty pink tone & shades of cream.  Her condition was excellent, handled really well but was keen to show who was in charge when returned to her pen a little feisty one could say.  
2nd  FERGUSON'S  MYTHIAN TUNUKANA.  27h.  30-10-01.  Chocolate, another well balanced mature lady who was a little on the plumper side.  Very good type, wedge short & wide, good blunt appearance to the muzzle, top nicely rounded, well marked break, the chin requiring a little more depth, bite good.  Gentle forward tilt to the ears which are a good medium size & well placed.  Eyes large the shape not quite so well defined as the winner, edging a little to the greener phase of chartreuse, pleasing expression.  Body of medium length, okay so a little over her optimum weight (aren’t we all from time to time), well proportioned legs & paws, the tail just a little on the shorter side.  Her coat is showing signs of her mature years in that it is a little on the longer side & not quite as sleek no doubt as in her youth, but that aside the texture still having a satin like feel to it.  Warm chocolate base colour showing plenty of varying shades of tangerine could for personal preference show more to the brighter shades.  Her condition & temperament both excellent. 
3rd  MCALL'S  FAUNESE KISSING THEPINK.  27j.  17-11-00.  Lilac,  another older lady of mature years, whose waistline was a little extended.  Not quite as short a wedge as the previous two exhibits & could be a little wider ideally, reasonable muzzle, top requires a little more rounding, quite good break, chin has a slight taper, bite good.  Ears medium size, I would ideally prefer a little more width at their base, rounded tips, could be a fraction wider apart.  Eyes large requiring just a little more emphasis to the shape, chartreuse colour.  Body has a little more rounding which I have no doubt is attributable to age & good living, but nonetheless weighty, quite slender limbs, neat paws, tail slightly thicker at the base, rounded tip & marginally short due to the extended waistline.  Her coat is of a woollier texture & not quite as sleek or short as a result, the texture very soft as opposed to satin like.  Marginally darker shade of lilac base colour with warmer shades of cream in the main.  Condition excellent, very sweet gentle nature.   
Considered for & Awarded BOB.  SIMPSON'S  IMP GR PR PAPGENA NADINA.  27h.  23-07-98.  Chocolate, despite being the oldest in the class, still got it, that sheer presence & oomph factor that is difficult to ignore in any breed.  Really lovely head of quality & finish, short wide wedge with blunt muzzle, well rounded top, deep break, short nose, strong chin & good bite.  Ears medium size, well rounded tips, wide base, excellent setting, following through her wedge.  Stunning eyes, large in size, excellent shape with slanted top & deeply curved lower line, colour faded a little but not the expression which is still incredibly wicked & so superior.  Yes a little extended on the waistline, with age everyone is entitled to a little indulgence, beautifully firm with Burmese zipper line up her middle, slim legs, neat paws, tail a little short of shoulder, medium thickness, rounded tip.  Her coat though now not quite as short (was despite a little more woolliness), still laying close & has a very good satiny texture.  Lovely warmth to her chocolate with some varying shades of Tangerine, some of which are quite pale.  Her condition quite superb, handled like a perfect lady (even when returned to her pen…………..).  She really is a quality specimen & was later Best Burmese Neuter, giving me a full house in the section.
Also Considered for BOB.  BLAKE'S  CH & PR HOBBERDY HOOPPCDAISY.  27h.  04-02-06.  Chocolate, this was another  quality exhibit, whilst not having the initial impact of the BOB winner, she was beautifully balanced & correct.  Short wide blunt wedge, rounded top, deep break, short nose, chin could be just a tad deeper, bite good.  Ears well set, medium size, some hint of forward tilt, well rounded tips.  Large well shaped eyes, good chartreuse tone with hint of yellow, excellent expression.  Body firm & weighty, slightly over her best, slim legs, small oval paws, tail a little short of shoulder, medium thickness.  The coat was well prepared, could ideally be a little shorter & a touch sleeker, but nonetheless satiny finish.  Attractive warmth to her chocolate tortie colour combination, with plenty of the red evident.  Her condition was excellent, quite a shy retiring lady, very gentle disposition.
Also Considered for BOB.  BROWNING'S  GR PR ROMID LUCIE.  27j. 11-04-01.  Lilac, yet another mature lady who is very attractive.   Head ideally requiring a little more depth, but her wedge was short & wide with a good blunt effect to her muzzle, top could be a little more rounded, very good break, requires a little more depth of chin ideally, bite good.  Ears medium size, rounded tips touch of forward tilt, set well when completely relaxed.  Eyes again a little towards the greener spectrum of chartreuse but to an acceptable degree, well shaped & good larger size.   Body firm & well toned medium length body, the legs slim with neat paws, tail slightly on the short side, medium thickness, rounded tip.  Her coat again marginally on the woollier side & could be shorter, which is no doubt attributable to her mature years, the texture rather soft as opposed to sleek.  Cool warm base lilac tone with shades of varying cream.  Her temperament was charming & her condition excellent.   

Oriental Bi-Coloured Neuter;
1st  IC & BOB.  TAYLOR'S  JADEVYN BRYCHAN TROEDMAWR.  48 40bt. 
19-05-08.  Chocolate Tabby Pointed,  at literally just under a year he was very well balanced & just required the benefit of maturity to give that extra degree of impact.  Strong balanced even triangular wedge, excellent profile, good depth of chin, bite meets….just.  Ears large, wide base beautifully placed, very harmonious fixed position.  Eyes have excellent oriental shape & slant, very good depth of blue the deeper coloured pigmented rim round the right eye, whilst the other is pink, lovely expression.  Body is firm & well muscled despite his relative adolescence, well proportioned legs & oval paws, well balanced length fine tail with very small indiscretion at its extremity.  Beautifully prepared short, close lying coat, the texture sleek & well finished.  Quite a high degree of white, small tabby nose splodge, patches showing lightly spotted pattern on body, good tabby markings where present, the white beautifully clean & bright, the demarcation well contrasted & sharply defined, the actual chocolate tone was surprisingly warm considering it was a rather dark chocolate.  His condition & presentation both superb, he was a very gentle & relaxed youngster.  
2nd  SOUTHALL'S  SENSAY SQUADRON LEADER.  48 40.  26-06-07.  Seal Pointed, this lad was well grown & very relaxed.  Longer length wedge,  which though a little narrow, was to a greater degree an optical illusion emphasised by his rather irregular nose blaze, also giving more of pinched effect than was there in reality, very good profile, needs a little more depth of chin, bite a mite overshot.  Ears large & he carries them just a little high & bonnets.  The eyes are a very good oriental shape but set a fraction straight, good clear bright blue.  Long neckline, body long & well muscled, long legs, oval paws, quite a well balanced length of tail.  Coat was beautifully close lying if a little long & also marginally harsh along the lower back.   Has as stated a long blaze the length of his nose, white tips to the ears, generally I would state he was about 50%  white to colour with warm body shading in patches points colour where applicable a very dense seal, there was a very slight amount of infringement of scattered white but nothing excessive.  His condition & composure both excellent.   

AC Oriental Longhair Neuter, Female;
1st  PC & BOB.  HART'S  CH & GR PR APRIKAT SWEETCHARITY.  62 21. 
31-05-04.  Black Tortie, a mature & yes, slightly overweight lady but with a really lovely head.  Not a long wedge in fact quite short, but beautifully even & equilateral giving a strong balanced appearance, excellent profile, beautifully strong chin, level bite.  Her ears though not as large as I would ideally prefer are beautifully set & stay in a fixed low, wide set position, could be a little wider at the base (but in relation to their size as wide as they can be).  Gorgeous eyes of deepest vivid green (that any Oriental would be proud of), oriental in both shape & slant, extremely expressive.  She is a little wider across the waistline which undeniably detracts a little from overall elegance, but better that than the other alternative, relatively slim legs & smallish oval paws, well furnished tail plume, the tail itself requiring an inch or so.  Excellent length of coat, with a lovely degree of flow over the body, full britches, lovely soft well prepared silken texture.  Her colour is a very good mix of both black & varying shades of red, impressively sound.  Wonderful condition & such an extremely gentle composed nature, if only she would show herself to display her quality to full advantage.  A lovely lady.    

Tabby Point Siamese Adult, Male;
1st  CC & BOB.  SMYTH'S  NATHIFA GIGALO.  32 /8.  13-05-08.  Caramel, certainly hope he can live up to the name, he is an inordinately handsome youngster, just to loose the slight look of innocence that he still possesses in order to achieve his full potential, which at his young age he is still entitled to have , so that should not be construed as criticism.  Lovely head showing a good degree of strength, his wedge is very good length yet with balance, virtually even lines, very good profile, excellent chin, bite marginally over.  Ears large & beautifully set with their wide base complementing his wedge.  Gorgeous eyes, typical oriental shape & slant, the colour a deep intense vivid blue, the expression still the gentle look of inexperience with the ways of world.  Long elegant neckline, super body long taut & well muscled, long legs, oval paws, well balanced long fine tail.  His coat was most beautifully prepared, short & very close lying, superb sleek finish with subtle surface sheen.  Clear cool body affording superb contrast to his Tabby tracings, the leg markings still quite subtle, well defined cheek ribbons, good ‘M’, some thumb prints on the ears, impressive tail rings, colour requires more evidence of brownish caste to create the taupe shade one associates as Caramel, well coloured hocks & the outer edges of the paws, hopefully the colour will deepen as reaches full maturity.  His condition was splendid, wonderfully composed, oh so gentle nature, a dream to handle.  Bags of style has all the elements that ladies will no doubt succumb to, later Best Siamese Adult, my run continues.     

Seal Point Siamese Neuter, Male;  Only one for the Open but some quality to select from for the BOB. 
1st  PC & BOB.  COPELAND'S  PR  FLOWERDEW GTX PECTATIONS.  02-02-08.  Beautifully flashy & incredibly stylish lad.  Longer length with extremely minor pinch, just perhaps marginally fine on the muzzle were one to be hyper critical, stunning profile, chin has depth but tapers back a little, bite good.  Wonderful ears, the wide flared base complementing his wedge beautifully, large & excellent set being wide apart.  Sultry very expressive eyes, deep intense blue colour, excellent oriental shape, just a fraction deeper in set than I would ideally have preferred.  Super neckline which he uses to complete advantage, long strong muscular lithe body, very long slender limbs, dainty oval paws, fine whip like tail of length to balance.  A lot of work had gone into his coat which was sleek & beautifully close lying combined surprisingly shorter length than first impressions indicated.  His points were dense with the exception of slight spectacle area & I would in all honesty prefer these a little warmer, there is still despite his body shading (which again could be a little warmer beige) an excellent degree of contrast.  He has such a completely laid back temperament looking so sleepy & composed sells himself superbly, his condition was immaculate, another one for Best In Show & later Best Siamese, boy! was I having a good day.

Gorgeous eyes, beautifully expressive, pleasing depth of blue, oriental in both shape & slant.  Body is an impressive size for a girl, yet retains elegance, slim legs, oval paws, tail requires a little more length to balance fully.  Coat now slightly on the longer side but laying close & well prepared, quite sleek.  Body is now quite extensively shaded but still with a good degree of contrast to her warm seal points but there is some degree of brindling on the cheeks in particular.  Condition was excellent, a most amicable composed lady.

AC Exotic Adult;
1st  WALLACE'S  SHARISHIMA BILLY BOB.  70 12a 5.  03-04-08.  Red Bi-Colour, this lad was very composed & possesses a pleasing balance & development.   Strong masculine head type, broad well filled cheeks with good breadth overall well developed muzzle, nicely rounded skull, deep stop, snub nose, very well developed nose leather good depth chin, bite a little under.  Beautifully placed ears, which were small in size & in keeping with the round head shape.  Vivid coppery orange eyes, large & well rounded shape with a as a result a bold appearance.  Good weighty body, cobby compact appearance, strong legs, good large round paws, heavy broad tail, short & proportionate to the body.  Excellent density to the beautifully soft coat, standing well from the body, typical lively appearance.  His white areas are beautifully clean & brighter, these are very random with splashes on the sides, some on his paws, legs chest & tummy, contrasting beautifully against the intense bright red, this though sound in colour was showing quite a degree of pattern  still present particularly on the body, which will hopefully clear as he matures more fully. His condition was superb & he has a very calm relaxed nature  
2nd  BARRY'S  BRONJOY DADDY'S  GIRL.  70 13.  20-04-08.  Blue-Cream, slightly rangier girl still to pack out a little albeit it generally well grown.  Head has good rounded shape & the cheeks still to fill more, quite a well developed muzzle, good rounded skull shape, good stop, short nose, chin good, the bite a little more under than I would like to see.  Ears moderately small, well rounded, set generally good.  The eyes could be more open & fully rounded tending loose out on the boldness as a result, colour slightly  more leaning to the hazel range than orange.  Body possessing size but still at the slightly longer stage of development, proportionate legs & paws, the tail could be a little heavier & is marginally long, hopefully this is transitional developmental stage & will look more proportionate as she matures.  Coat is soft & fine but requires a little more density to give a greater degree of lift & plushness to create more full of life effect.  Colour is a very dark shade of blue with a slightly flat tone, some mingling of dark hot cream, small patch on the right front paw but otherwise good.  Her condition & temperament both very good.   
3rd  BOWEN'S  SLINKYPAWS ZSA ZSA GABOR.  70 8a.  14-06-08.  Blue Tabby, sadly this girl's pattern (or more accurately, almost complete lack of) lets her down.  Still very much a baby to look at facially which at her young age is not altogether uncharacteristic, the head is well rounded with good fullness at the cheeks becoming evident, rounded skull, short nose despite the shallow break, nose leather a little on  the small side, chin good, bite under.  Ears though relatively small are a little wide at the base, rounded shape!!.  Eyes need to be more fully rounded to give the required more typical large bold appearance, very impressive orange colour.  Body whilst still obviously with more growth to achieve is well proportioned for its size & has time on her side to mature, quite low on the legs, with well balanced tail.  Coat with good density to it & a good softness, stands well from the body & has a quite a good lively feel to it. Pattern is quite difficult to describe as there is really so little of it, facial markings are very minimal & requires a greater degree of contrast, muted ribbons & 'M', no body pattern to speak of, just a bridled effect, even the leg bracelets are minimal, tail rings a little more evident.  The colour is a darker shade of blue with a very slight hint of creaminess to the chest & inner leg area.  Her condition was excellent & her temperament was charming.

Mrs C Jones

Many thanks to Jean for my invitation to judge and your excellent team for a very enjoyable day. I had some really super cats which was lovely.

AOV FOREIGN PREMIER MALE:

GR.PR. PLAWS IMP.GR.PR. RAINSONG STEVIE GERRARD(72 45d): A lad approaching four years of age and somewhat substantially built! Head a short well balanced wedge, blunt muzzle and good width at jaw hinge. Profile shows gentle curve to brow, distinct nose break, good deep firm chin and level bite. Ears medium to large in size, broad at base and correctly set. Eyes large, wide set and with a lovely expression. Body medium in length, hard and muscular but certainly not slender. Obviously food plays a large part in this lads life! Legs in proportion to body and medium in length with neat and oval paws. Tail medium in length balancing body well with a rounded tip. Coat super, short, fine and lying close to the body with a super texture. This lad was in excellent condition and had a wonderful temperament. A very nice start to my day.

AOV FOREIGN PREMIER FEMALE:
GR.PR. MORELAND'S PR. TOBYSDEN FANTASIA(76 30): Another delightful exhibit of two years of age and such a joy to handle. Head just a fraction unbalanced as muzzle was a little short but with a good broad nose and full and broad muzzle. Super face markings with pattern running in an unbroken fashion over head, down onto neck over shoulders. Profile shows gentle curves with slight dip in nose line, firm chin and level bite. Ears medium to large in size with correct width between and correctly set. Eyes large in size, oval in shape and correctly set. Body super, long in length, sleek and muscular with a lovely feel to it and carried on medium length muscular legs and large rounded paws. Tail medium in length, thick and even with slight taper. Coat excellent short in length, dense and soft to the touch. Coat colours are a bright gold ground with dark brown medium to large spots most of which are arrow headed. Coat pattern very distinct. Tummy clearly spotted, legs a mixture of bars interspersed with spots, tail ringed, two broken necklaces and one chin strap complete an overall excellent pattern. This girl had the most delightful temperament and I thoroughly enjoyed judging her.

BROWN MARBLED BENGAL ADULT:
CC AHMED'S ACHARYA CANT TOUCH THIS(F): This girl was eleven months of age and somewhat elegant and of adolescent in build. Head of reasonable proportions although I would have liked more width across top to balance length. Nose moderately broad with slightly puffed nose leather. Muzzle moderately broad. Profile shows gentle curves, slight dip in a nose line. Nose was a little long, chin firm, bite not quite level. Excellent face markings and pattern, very clear and running unbroken over head, down neck and across shoulders. Ears rather on the large size and needing more width between. Eyes large in size, oval in shape and well set. Body long and sleek and rather adolescent in build at present but nonetheless deceptively heavy and in excellent condition. Legs medium in length and strong with medium sized rounded paws. Legs show a clear pattern of bars interspersed with small spots. Tail a fraction on the long side but moderately thick and even and a pattern of rings ending in a solid tip. Coat short in length, soft to the touch but not particularly dense. Coat colours a pale gold ground with a black swirling well defined pattern, absolutely excellent. For absolute perfection a greater range of colours would be a bonus, possibly just to add warmth. Tummy very clearly spotted. This girl was in excellent condition with a very impressive pattern and whilst I felt her head and general build was adolescent I awarded the Certificate as I felt it churlish to do otherwise.
BOB WAGSTAFF'S CH. SPRINGMEADOW REBELREBEL(M): A lad of three years of age, very large and strong and mature. Head very well balanced set on a strong and muscular neck. Excellent short coat with a good clear pattern and showing a good range of colours in pattern.

BROWN MARBLED BENGAL KITTEN:
1 AND BOB WAGSTAFF'S SEREGON RODRIGUEZ(M): A lad of six and a half months and very well grown. Head a nicely balanced broad medium with good width across top just longer than wide. Nose large and broad with slightly puffed nose leather. For a young boy the muzzle was full and broad with pronounced whisker pads. Profile shows gentle curves with the slightest of dips in the nose line. Chin strong and firm, bite level. Face markings excellent. Ears medium in size, wide at base and correctly set. Eyes large in size, almost round in shape and correctly set. Body long and sleek with a strong and muscular feel to it. Legs medium in length, strong and muscular with large rounded paws. Leg markings very clear bars with small spots on paws. Tail medium in length, thick and even with a rounded tip. Coat super, short in length, very dense, luxurious and soft to the touch. Everything it should be, very nice. Coat colours a bright gold ground with a clear swirling pattern of black, brown and beige giving a nice warm appearance. Pattern very distinct and clear as were the two necklaces and one chin strap. A well presented lad with a very nice temperament.

BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL KITTEN:
1 AND BOB HALLIGAN'S MUMANDACATS KUBLA KHAN(M): A young baby of just twenty weeks of age with lots of growing to do. Head moderately well balanced and although with good width across top the nose is a little narrow at present and the muzzle a trifle fine. Profile good showing gentle curves with slight dip in nose line, firm chin and level bite. Good distinct face markings and pattern. Ears medium in size, good width between and correctly set.

Many thanks to Jean and Brenda for the invitation to judge at this lovely show. I had a great day in the company of my very competent steward Marion Wade.

OPEN CLASSES
BLUE KITTEN FEMALE
1st withheld 2nd Young’s MIBAYBESE MINNIE HAUK 04/09/08
This playful young lady has a reasonably round top of head, however her ears are large, open based and set upright. She has reasonably round eyes of a dark gold colour. Her nose is of a good length but narrows to a small nose leather. Her muzzle is narrow and accentuated further by a very strong chin and undershot bite, which was confirmed by the duty vet. The entire lower half of her face lacks roundness and fullness. Given that she 8 months of age her development so far lacks substance and cobbyness. She stands tall, on fine boned limbs, her body is long and the tail matches. Her coat is dark blue, not fully sound at the roots and shows a scattering of white hairs in the ‘locket’ area on her throat. It is also a touch long and soft. I withheld the 1st prize due to the undershoot bite as required by the standard of points.

BLACK SILVER SPOTTED KITTEN MALE
1st & BOB Cropper’s LIMATZ ALFREDTHEGREAT 19/08/08
A cobby boy showing good development and maturity. He has a full, round head with good sized ears that are well set on a round top of head. Round hazel coloured eyes. A good broad nose with a level bite and good depth of chin. He has a broad shoulders and a broad chest beneath that shows good depth along with good strength of bone and overall substance. His limbs are short and firm with round paws. The tail is of a good balanced length with rings. His coat pattern shows all the spotty elements although some of the spots are more triangular than round. The markings show good depth of colour affording good contrast with the underlying silver ground. His cost is slightly long but crisp. Overall a lovely exhibit but he does show quite a bit of fawning on his muzzle, behind his ears and on his paws albeit this is only a fault in the SOP.

2nd Hawley’s ALFRESCA COSMOPOLITAN 22/08/08
Another good cobby boy showing good overall development for his age. He has a round top of head with slightly large and open based ears.  His eyes are a touch flat across the tops and of hazel colour. He has acceptable nose for length and dip in profile. His bite is level but the chin is a little on the weak side and at this time he has a muzzle pinch which detracts from the overall symmetry of his head. He also has a broken right incisor which was notified to the duty vet. He shows good body development with depth and breadth along with firm limbs and round paws. His markings are dense black affording good contrast with the silver ground colour. All the required elements are present; however the spine line is a little solid although the spots are evident within. He also has a few linkages over his shoulders otherwise the spots are of a good shape. His coat is short, a little flat lying. This boy ran a close race with the winner and although the contrast of the pattern was better he lost points on his type.

3rd Hawley’s ALFRESCA CAPTAIN KIRK 22/08/08
Litter brother to the previous exhibit. Again he has a round head with slightly large ears which are placed with good width between. Round hazel eyes, good nose length and profile. Level bite and good depth of chin. His cheeks are filling out nicely. He shows good breadth across his shoulders and depth of chest although his body narrows towards his pelvis and flanks. He stands rather tall with dainty front paws. Overall he is of good weight but rangy. He has a short coat that lies flat. The tabby spotted pattern is good with a broken spine line. However the body spots are somewhat more triangular than round and lack density and definition against the silver ground colour. His tail length balances with his body and shows complete rings. He has a nice temperament and enjoyed the attention

BLACK SILVER SPOTTED KITTEN FEMALE
1st Benson’s LIMATZ NEXT TOP MODEL 19/08/08
Litter sister to the class winner and what a wriggler! She was not at all happy about having her bite examined, possibly as it has been looked at many times? The bottom teeth slightly overlap the top teeth giving a scissor appearance, I gave her the benefit of the doubt on her bite as it was difficult to examine her and she was rather stressed. She has a round head with large, open based, flyaway ears which detract from her overall head shape. She has round, hazel coloured eyes. Her nose is short with a good profile. Her muzzle is somewhat rectangular and the chin firm. Her cheeks are showing signs of filling out. She shows reasonable body substance and conformation although I would like a little more weight given that she is almost an adult. She has a good spotty pattern, although it does lack density and clarity. There is a broken spine line, tail rings and spotted toes. There are a few solid links over her shoulders. Like her brother the spots are again more triangular than round, in the main. Her coat is short but very flat.

MISCELLANEOUS CLASSESS
AC BRITISH BREEDERS CAT MALE PART 1
1st Young’s CH HARLEME BERTRAND 15
A lovely, mature, cobby boy with a full round head and neat well placed ears. He has a short nose with a good dip in its profile, level bite and good depth of chin, with full jowls. He has round eyes that are a pale gold colour, I would have liked them a deeper shade to give him the extra wow factor. He has a squat, cobby body with good substance and very firm limbs. He has a good British coat, short, dense, crisp and sound ink black in colour. A good example a pity that he is rather timid and didn’t really show himself to his best.

2nd Brown’s CH KOLINGA JAGUAR 16
An excellent mature boy showing a bramley apple shaped head. He has neat ears, round golden eyes, level bite with a slightly weak chin and lovely full cheeks. He shows excellent body development and overall conformation with a good tail in the correct proportion. Excellent coat length and texture of a mid blue colour with some tipping and unsound.

3rd Newman’s MOORMIST MAGICIAN 15
An adolescent boy who is developing maturity. He has a round head with round copper eyes. His ears are a touch large but set well apart. He shows a nose of good length and profile. His bite is scissored with the top teeth overriding the lower set. He shows a fair depth of chin and his cheeks are developing nicely. His body development is typically adolescent, a touch long, tall and rangy in appearance, he needs to fill out and achieve more balance. His tail is in proportion to his body and of the correct shape. His coat is a touch long, soft and flat lying, it is however sound to the roots with a slight rusty tinge over his shoulders and spine line. He is a promising exhibit who needs some time to get balance and sort out his coat.

AC BRITISH BREEDERS CAT MALE PART 2
1st Wade’s CH RODWAYE BARBAROSSA 40 7  03/07/04
A lovely mature boy with a full apple head and good ears for size and position. He has round, pale blue eyes. Lovely full cheeks and good nose length and fair depth  of chin. His bite was not fully assessed as he was very upset by his noisy neighbour. He shows good depth and breadth of body with a short, dense crisp coat. His points colour is acceptable as is his body colour. Overall a full assessment wasn’t possible due to him being very stressed.

2nd Lee’s SEWNSEW WHATSITABOUTALFIE 79s 16   14/04/08
A young male shorthaired Selkirk in the adolescent phase of his development. He has a round head with developing cheeks. His bite is level but the muzzle lacks the width and padding of the whisker pads as required of the breed. He has medium sized ears that fit well into the top if head which shows a nicely rounded forehead. He has a short broad nose with a good dip in its profile but it lacks the downward slant required. He is developing cobbyness and substance of body and he has a rectangular torso. His tail is of medium length and shows good rex curling. Overall his coat is beginning to show the random, unstructured nature right down to his paws, although his abdomen could show a touch more curl. At this time he lacks a ruff. Overall young boy that does not show the typical muzzle as required by the breed standard.

AC BRITISH BREEDERS CAT FEMALE
1st Hemming’s HINDERSLYNE HECATE 21 08/07/08
A lovely example of a British female with a nice temperament. For only 10 months of age she is developing her form and substance nicely. She has a full, round head with round copper eyes. Her ears are of acceptable size and position although they are slightly forward slanting. She has a good nose, level bite and good depth of chin. He cheeks are developing their fullness quite nicely. She shows a short, crisp coat with lovely, well mingled, bright tortie colours. Overall there is good mingling of the colours but in the hall light it was difficult to assess if the front right paw was solid black or not. A nice exhibit.

2nd Ward’s LARNIKAT GEORGIES GIRL 40 3 16/05/08
Chocolate colourpointed.  A lovely, young, cobby girl with a good round head and round, pale blue eyes. She has a good nose for length and shape with a just acceptable bite at this time with a firm chin. Her cheeks are filling out nicely. She shows excellent body conformation, substance and development for her age. She has short firm limbs and round paws. Her coat is slightly long with good chocolate points contrasting well with the clear ivory body colour. Overall a nice exhibit, just watch the bite.

3rd Holloway’s WINDYMEADOW OLIVEIRA 40 6 03/05/05
Seal tortie colourpointed. A nice, mature lady with a round head. Hr ears are in a good position of an acceptable height with rounded tips but very open based. She has round, blue eyes a good nose length and profile. A level bite with fair depth of chin. The tortie points have produced an attractive blaze on her nose. She has nice, full cheeks. Overall she has good body conformation. Her coat is slightly long but of an acceptable texture. The tortie mingling is evident in all the points which afford good contrast with the warm body colour that shows appropriate coloured shading. Nice temperament.

AC BRITISH CAT (NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR) MALE
1st Creaton & Walker’s CURLU NATE 79L 15 19/04/08
A lovely well grown boy. He has a round, broad head with medium sized round gold eyes and well placed ears that fit into the overall shape of his head. He has a good nose with the required downward slant with a rectangular muzzle and well padded whisker pads. Level bite. His coat has plenty of loose unstructured curls which parted easily with a neck ruff in evidence. His coat had obviously been well prepared. His body shape is rectangular supported by firm limbs and lovely round paws with curls on their tops. A charming boy who enjoyed all the fuss.

2nd Harrison’s CH CRAZIPUSS CALLMECHARLEY 17 28/10/06
Another lovely boy with a good British head with slightly large ears for perfection. He has round copper eyes, a good nose for length and profile, good depth of chin and a level bite. Overall his body shows maturity with good breadth across his shoulders and depth of chest, supported by firm limbs a solid, round paws. His coat is short and crisp of a slightly warm shade of cream with very pale roots. His tail is of an acceptable shape but too short for balance with his body length.

3rd Oughtbridge Hearley’s TANGLEKEYS TOMINTOUL 40 7 24/06/08
A young cream coourpointed boy who is developing well for his age. He has a round head with slightly large and flared ears which detract a little from the overall balance. He has round, blue eyes, a good nose, level bite and good depth of chin. His cheeks are filling out nicely. He is a touch rangy but he is already showing that he is developing both breadth and depth of body. His coat is short and crisp. His has a good mask but his leg points are yet to fully develop their colour. His tail is in proportion to his body and of the correct shape. Overall a promising boy.

AC BRITISH CAT (NOT BRED BY EXHIBITOR) FEMALE
1st Hemming’s CH POSITIVELY JEMIMA BEDMOLE 15 27/07/05
A mature lady who has a rather nervous, startled looked about her. She has a round top of head with slightly upright ears. She has round, gold eyes with a short nose with a  good dip in it’s profile, the bite is rather untidy and the chin slightly weak. The lower half of her face lacks substance compared with the mature top half and therefore it gives an overall unbalanced appearance. She has a good cobby, well develop body, with short firm limbs. Her coat is excellent, being dense, crisp and sound black. A pity that she was so nervous.

2nd Keitley TUFTON STARTEDWITHAKISS 18 18/09/05
A real wriggler who was rather difficult to assess. Overall she is rather small given her age of 3yrs and 7 months. She has a round head with round, green eyes. A level bite with a square muzzle and weak chin. She is fine boned with a slim body. The classic tabby pattern is evident by dense black marking on the silver ground. Her coat is a touch soft and flat lying. Not further assessed as difficult to handle.

3rd Harris’ ADATESH IRIS 16 30/05/08
A rather unhappy adolescent girl who needs time to mature. She has a reasonably round head with reasonable ears for size and position. Her nose is of a good length and profile. The bite is level however there is slight weakness around the muzzle, the chin is of an acceptable depth. Her coat is dark blue and tipped being not fully sound to the roots, a touch long and a little harsh in texture currently.

AC BRITISH TORTOISESHELL & WHITE, BI-COLOURED OR BLUE-CREAM CAT
1st Keitley’s  CH BABYCAKES MAYBEBABY 28 19/11/06
This lady has a round head with slightly large, open based ears. She ahs round, deep gold eyes, a level bite and an acceptable chin, however the muzzle is rather square which detracts from the overall impression despite her rather nice cheeks. She shows reasonable body development and conformation. Her coat is of an acceptable length although a little soft. The pale blue cream colours appeared well mingled. She was quite happy kneading away in her pen but not at all happy out on the table so I didn’t undertake a rigorous assessment as she was the only exhibit in the class.

AC COLOURPOINTED BRITISH CAT
1st Holloway’s CH WINDYMEADOW IBRAHIMMOVIC 40 14 M
This young lilac tabby colourpointed male has a lovely round head with slightly large ears for balance. His eyes are round and blue in colour. He has a slight muzzle pinch currently but his bite is level and his cheeks are developing well. Overall he shows good body conformation and he is developing substance. His coat is slightly long but of a good texture. The lilac is rather cool toned but it shows the tabby M on his forehead and tail rings well enough. His leg points are not really evident in this lighting. The tail overall is short and rather brindled.

She has a short nose with a good profile, level bite and acceptable depth of chin. Her cheeks are starting to fill out nicely. However, she stands tall on fine boned limbs. Her body lacks substance as well as breadth and depth. Her coat is soft. The colour and mingling of the tortie points are what make her attractive. Her tail is of the correct length and shape. Overall she has a lovely temperament but she is too small for her age currently.

2nd Richard’s CHOCOLATE CHARMER 40 1 M 10/01/09
A sweet baby boy of just 18 weeks. He has a round head somewhat spoilt by rather large ears. His eyes are blue and round. He has slightly long, narrow nose, a level bite and acceptable depth of chin. His cheeks have yet to develop any roundness. He is very slim and fine boned currently. His seal points are evident but his ears and the base of his tail are very brindled.

BRITISH BLACK, WHITE, RED SELF, CHOCOLATE OR LILAC NEUTER
1st Hemming’s CH & PR HINDERSLYNE BLACK HEMLOCK 15 MN
I must admit to not having made notes on this boy, I think I was just completely smitten by what an absolute stunner of a British boy he was that I didn’t write anything other than first! From memory he had excellent type and conformation and a wonderfully sound, ink black, short, crisp, dense coat. In fact I was so taken with him that I gave him best British neuter and I believe he went on to be best British exhibit. Congratulations a lovely boy.

BRITISH BLUE OR CREAM NEUTER
1st Parish’s KERNMERE BLUE CHESTA 16 MN
A young lady with a reasonable round head. Her ears are a touch large and her muzzle is slightly prominent. Her eyes are round and of a copper colour. She has an acceptable nose for length and profile. Her bite is level and her cheeks are developing nicely for her relatively young age.

2nd McConnell’s EYTONIA MYSTIC SAPPHIRE 16 FN
An older girl with a round head and round, pale gold eyes that in this hall light appeared to have a central green rim, this was not checked in daylight however. Her ears are wide at their bases.

AC BRITISH TABBY OR SPOTTED NEUTER

Mrs H Simpson

My thanks to Jean and Brenda and the committee for the invitation to judge at this always well run and friendly show.  My thanks go also to Diana Jarecki who very kindly volunteered  to steward for me and handled the cats beautifully.  We had a lovely day and handled some really lovely household pets.  Unfortunately the weather was poor that day with some of the cats obviously upset by the heavy rain thundering down on the metal roof at intervals and consequently not all of them were happy to be taken out of their pens to be judged which was a great shame.

Black, White or Black & White Cat Male: 1 MC BOB CRUTCHLEY’S OSCAR MN 1yr 7mths.  Lovely friendly black boy with a longish short coat and gorgeous soft fur which was moulting a bit.  Enjoyed his cuddle as much as I did.  2 BATES’ DOMINO MN 1yr 7 mths.  Beautiful but shy black on white cat with lovely markings.  Very sweet boy who preferred to stay in his pen.  3 BUCKLEY’S JASPER MN 10mths.  Stunningly beautiful clean white cat with striking yellow eyes. Very sadly he wouldn’t come out for us either, spooked by the noisy rain.  Black, White or Black & White Cat Female: 1 MC OVERTON’S MOOMIN 1yr 8mths.  Gorgeous pure white short haired girl, sparklingly clean with lustrous yellow eyes and beautifully presented. What a darling girl.  AC Tabby or Tabby & White (excl Ginger) Cat: 1 MC BOB PLAW’S PEPE REINA MN 1yr.  Handsome Asian look-alike lad (lovely Burmese type head!), very happy to come out to be cuddled and admired.  Fantastic soft coat and beautifully presented.  2 ROSSI’s OZZY MN 7yrs.  Handsome brown tabby and white gentleman with sparklingly clean white bits. Very sweet chap who was happier in his pen than out of it.  AOC Cat Male or Female: 1 TOWNSEND’S MC ELLIE FN 2yrs 2mths. Beautiful SLH tabby and white Maine Coon look-alike with very soft fur.  Another one spooked by the rain and so happier in her pen.  Stunning girl.  AC Kitten (Short Hair) Male: 1 BOB BUCKLEY’S VICTOR MN 8mths 2 wks.  Well grown very handsome grey and white lad with yellow eyes.  Beautifully presented and with a simply fantastic coat.  He come out for us OK but was a bit unsure about it all as the rain was really belting down in the morning. By the afternoon when the rain had eased off he was much happier, playing with his toys, quite relaxed and friendly and I was delighted to award him well deserved BIS HP over some extremely stiff competition.  Well done Victor!  AC Kitten (Short Hair) Female: 1 VANES’ MIA 5mths.  Darling baby at perhaps her first show?  Another darker grey and white kitten who was unlucky to be up against Victor who pipped her to the BOB this time.  She was a little apprehensive but came out for a cuddle.  A real sweetie.  Ginger or Ginger & White, Tortie or Tortie & White: 1 ROSSI’S NOUCHE NOUCHE FN 13 years.  Very pretty, gentle and very friendly white and tortie tabby soul who was quite at home at the show and delighted to come out for a cuddle.  Looking fabulous for her great age – she looked several years younger!  Just spoiling the overall effect was an odd-looking pale orange patch on the white fur near her tail which I later found out was due to singeing caused by sitting too near to a gas fire!  This wasn’t enough to lose her well deserved first place in this class but was a factor in not also awarding her BIS HP which was a very near thing.  2 HORVATH’S GINGER BIS MN 11yrs.  Another magnificent gentle oldie with a fabulous rich red classic tabby coat and a torn ear, bless him.  An absolute darling. 3 EDWARDS’ MARBELLA FN 3yrs.  Gorgeous short haired Maine Coon look-alike with a lovely soft coat and alert gentle expression on her pretty face.  A real poppet.  X3 GUY’S SIMBA MN 1yr.  Magnificent big heavy red Persian fellow with golden eyes, a fantastic set of whiskers and wonderfully soft coat though it could have done with just a tiny bit more grooming for perfection.  He behaved beautifully.  Royal Canin Any Other Colour: PLANT’S BASHFUL BRUNO MN 8 yrs.  Blue and white Birman, groomed to perfection and with pale blue eyes.  He behaved beautifully and was a real darling.  2 SWINGLER’S VELVET F 7.5mths.  Abyssinian look-alike strong and very lively sweetie who gave me a gentle love bite on the chin.  A real extrovert and she would have been quite happy to go for a run round the show hall given half a chance just to find out what was going on!  3 PEPPERELL’S  MC LOUIE MN 5yrs 9mths.  Delightful weighty seal point Birman who was also groomer to perfection.  Very charming and sweet cat with a kink in his tail.  AC Cat or Kitten originally a stray: 1 ROSSI’S NOUCHE NOUCHE.  2 CRUTCHLEY’S OSCAR. 3 PLANT’S BASHFUL BRUNO. X3 OVERTON’S MOOMIN.  AC Cat or kitten that has never won a prize at a show: 1 BUCKLEY’S VICTOR.  Any Cat aged over 7 years: 1 ROSSI’S NOUCHE NOUCHE. 2 HORVATH’S GINGER BIS.  Any Cat or Kitten who shares its home with a Burmese Pedigree: 1 SWINGLER’S VELVET.  Any Cat or Kitten that is the only cat in the house: 1 JONES’ SANDSTORM MN 22mths. Red classic tabby & white with stunning tabby markings and a very soft coat.  His white bits were sparklingly clean and he was happy to come out for a cuddle.  2 BATES’ DOMINO.  AC unregistered Long Hair / Short hair Half Pedigree or obviously Pedigree Cat or Kitten: 1 EDWARDS’ MARBELLA. 2 PLANT’S BASHFUL BRUNO. 3 PEPPERELL’S  MC LOUIE.

Modified wedge set on a well muscled arching neck shows required slight curve from muzzle to cheek & is longer than it is wide, muzzle however is a little weak at present owing to the presence of a teething pinch & whisker pinch could have a little more definition, whisker pads are well spotted.  Profile shows required rise from bridge of nose to brow, desired slight dip towards end of nose that has pink coloured leather, a dark rim, small bump & a downward curve at the tip, chin has depth but recedes, bite is just level.  Large wide based ears with pale thumb prints on the backs are set neither too high nor too low, have rounded tips with tufts & adequate space between. Expressive gold eyes are lovely & large, almond in shape, obliquely set, have dark chocolate coloured rims & pale coloured surrounds that give required mascara effect.  Elegant lass of very good size & weight, bone & substance, has a long straight back, good breadth to deep chest, muscular well proportioned legs of medium length, compact oval paws with pinkish chocolate pads, broad based tapering tail with solid dark chocolate coloured tip with rings alternating with spots along its length which is very good.  Lovely short fine close coat of shining copper has satin texture & sheen; pattern that is really sharp & well defined comprises intricate M shape on forehead with lines running up over top of head & down neck, small well defined chocolate spots on base of neck & shoulders, “ribbons” from outer corners of eyes, three broken necklaces, spotted spine line from shoulder blades to base of tail plus a broken spine line, small spots on wrists, broken legs bracelets, lovely spotty tum & clearly defined thumb shaped chocolate spots on the torso.  Shown in top condition I loved this sweet gentle girl who trembled with apprehension.

SINGAPURA KITTEN.  1 present.
1st. (BoB N/A)  BATES’s  CATOMINE KEYOLE KATE.  Female.  7 months.
Wedge has required rounding to width at outer eye (cheekbones) but is a little on the long side & could be wider, has a slight teething pinch still thus muzzle seems rather weak.  Profile shows rounding to brow & forehead, slight stop to short broad nose that has medium salmon coloured leather & complete liner, chin is level bit could be deeper, level bite.  Noticeably large wide based ears with warm salmon tones on the backs are quite deeply cupped, well shaped & set.  Lovely large expressive eyes are well shaped, set, have dark brown rims, “cheetah marks” in the inner corners & pale ivory coloured spectacle-like surrounds, but hazel colouring is rather pale.   Moderately built lass has  medium length body of good weight & lithe muscular feel but his rather large for her age, slim muscular legs, large oval paws have rosy brown pads & sepia brown colour up the heels, slender tail of medium length has required blunt finish & solid sepia brown tip the colour of which extends up the tail & along the spine.  Short, fine, sleek, shining coat has required satiny feel, is of rather cold toned old ivory base colour with two bands of sepia ticking right at the tip of the shaft, has a broken necklace that is incorrect being heavy & brown, heavy inner foreleg barring, odd smudge on hind knees.  A sweet, alert girl in good physical condition but lacked a little in show preparation today.  Sorry, but she had too many minor faults to justify the BoB award today I’m afraid.

2nd.  WILLIAMS’s  MOLYNMEUX ZAZEUX.  Lilac Tortie Female.  20 weeks.

Mr S Twigge

My thanks to Jean, Brenda & their hard working team for their kind invitation to judge at one of
my favourite shows! My huge thank to Sheryl Edwards for guiding me through the day and
remain a steadying influence all day!
Open Classes:
Class 402a Lilac Burmese Kitten Female
1st & BoB Mrs Wilshaw’s ROSSIKHAN DADDYS GIRL (27c) F 11/01/2009
What a wonderful way to start the day; to be greeted by a sweet baby girl who had her back
turned to the pen door, body covered by pristine white blankets and gazing up at us over her
shoulder with the most beautiful pair of eyes; set in a delightfully pretty head – “little miss
perfect!” I was not disappointed when I took her out of her pen, she has large and lustrous eyes
with such an exquisite expression that looks mature beyond her tender 18 weeks of age, they
have remarkable definition to the upper lids and amazing fullness to lower lids, a muddy golden
yellow in colour set very well in stunning head. Face on she has a short wide wedge which
tapers to a blunt muzzle, lovely rounding between her ears which are set well apart; they are
nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. Her profile shows very good depth to
her skull, lovely rounding to her brow, a well defined nose break and a straight nose line whilst
her jaw has good depth and sits correctly aligned to her nose; the tiniest quibble might be for a
fraction more depth would add to her overall look. Her body is a good weight for her size; she
has a straight back and lovely stance showing correctly taller hind legs. Her tail balances and
tapers very well to a rounded end. She still has a kitten coat at present and the hall lighting was
particularly unkind to lilacs today tending to darken it out somewhat, but it had a super fine
texture and satin like feel to it. A confident baby girl who was charm personified with lots to tell
us about her day so far and how much she enjoyed having her tummy tickled – which we
dutifully obliged. My take home kitten of the day, but I understood I was out bid!
Class 900 Ginger, Marmalade or Ginger & White Cat M or F
I needed 3 firsts and all were worthy of MCs!
1st MC & BOB Mr & Mrs Guy’s SIMBA
Lovely big red longhaired lad, who had stunning round amber eyes which had a charming
expression about them. He handled very well and was exceptionally well prepared, no mean feat
with a longhaired exhibit. He purred very gently for us and accepted a big cuddle from my
steward. Shown in super condition.
2nd Mrs Jones’ SANDSTORM
Unlucky to meet the winner today, a well behaved shorthaired boy with striking golden yellow
eyes. His red classic tabby pattern was broken up by pristine white markings to his face, gloves
and socks, Shown in excellent condition and well prepared, just a little unsure of himself but
handled well.
3rd Mrs Horvath’s GINGER BIS
A charming gent of 11 years of age, He had deep ambers eyes with such a sad expression to
them, another classic tabby and white short but his red was so rich. Unfortunately he was a little
reluctant to show himself off to his best to day. Shown in excellent condition.
Class 901 Tortie or Tortie & White Cat Male or Female
1st MC & BoB Miss Rossi’s MC NOUCHE NOUCHE
Super tortie and white, more white than tortie. A very appealing face with super pale yellow
eyes – she was very interested in her environment and very happy to come out and strut her
stuff for us – what a trouper! Exceptionally well prepared, her coat was crisp and so pristine –
she purred all the time for us and was show in wonderful condition.
Miscellaneous Classes:
Class 659 AC Foreign Cat (not bred by Exhibitor) Male
1st Mr & Mrs Desolla’s GRCH BRUNNBACKEN’S SAMBESI (IMP) (23) M

they were alert and pricked. Lovely head with a good wedge, level bite with slight dip to nose,
medium chin, set straight. Lithe and muscular feel to body of correct build. Lovely elegant legs,
oval paws. Short fine coat with good drag. A well developed pattern, well defined black ticking,
rich deep ruddy orange background colour. M to forehead, scarab and paler chin with a single
broken necklace. Handled very well and was shown in super condition.-
2nd Mrs Moreland’s GRCH LLANDAR SABU (TICA DGC) (76 30) M
A rather striking looking Bengal, with an especially attractive pattern and wonderful bright
golden colours to it. Very striking large arrow heads that had super definition. A super strong
head which was rather large, relatively small ears that had a really wild appearance to them and
strong profile. He had an exceptionally strong and well developed body; with just a little too
much to say for himself, but overall a very striking exhibit.
3rd Mrs Wagstaff’s CH SPRINGMEADOW REBELREBEL (76 20) M
Class 700 AC Foreign Kitten (not bred by Exhibitor) Female
1st Mrs Atkinson’s THICKTHORN PATIA (73b) F
She just screams Occicat when out of the pen, though didn’t look quite so good in her pen.
Lovely warm chocolate pattern with excellent definition to her spots. She has a desirably long
wedge than it is wide but she did tend to narrow her muzzle somewhat but overall is it very
good, her pen she tend to round her eyes but out of the pen when relaxed they assumed the
natural almond shape and where a medium golden yellow in colour, her large ears had tufts and
were set well. Her body is developing nicely and she was show in excellent condition and
handled very well.
2nd Mrs Hamilton’s MARJANWA ASHANTI GOLD (23) F
Very attractive kitten thought little unsettled today. Super rich deep coppery background with
clearly defined ticking, a broken necklace, small hocks on hind legs. Just a lovely balanced head;
gently rounded brow, moderate wedge, rounding to muzzle, with super eyes which were very
expressive, wee dip to profile and lovely expressive ears, firm chin – not happy for me to check
her bite. Her tail balanced and was free of faults. Her coat had drag top it and her body had
good weight to it. She was shown in very good condition.
3rd Mrs & Miss Haycock’s AMEEKA WILDCAT SALLY (73) FN
Class 702 AV Kitten (6-9months)
1st Mr Thomas’ THOMASTAR DASH (84 31) M
I reported on this young man two weeks ago and my opinion remains unchanged – simply
stunning! A very promising kitten who had such a tremendous and arresting look. Superb
expression and lovely balance to his head; nicely modified wedge with good length, prominent
cheekbones and rounded muzzle, moderate stop and a strong chin with a level bite. Large wide
based ears, set well on a flat top of head. Large eyes of excellent shape. An elegant body which
was nicely muscled feeling solid and firm, proportionate limbs with oval paws. He had a long
tapering tail with the greatest amount of heavy down only on the very end of his tail other wise
a five o’clock shadow covering of down all over. A charming and confident exhibit – just loved
his head type!
2nd Mrs Wagstaff’s SEREGON RODRIGUEZ (76 20) M
Unlucky to meet the winner today. A very well grown and solid youngster, he has well balance
head type, strength to head but wild expression is still there. Superb definition to his marbled
pattern and he handled superbly. Good length to body with muscularity developing nicely.
Shown in excellent condition.
3rd Mrs Hamilton’s MARJANWA ASHANTI GOLD (23) F
Class 707 AV Foreign Visitor’s Kitten
1st Mr Thomas’ THOMASTAR DASH (84 31) M
See above class 702
2nd Mrs Brynes BOUNTIFUL REDHOTLOVER (33a 18d) M
Rather wonderful little chap! What a gorgeous wee soul this young man was. Super head type,
large ears which he could barely hold up, flattened top of head, generous width at the cheek
bones, super shaped eyes (really big in his head and correctly shaped) super width to muzzle,
chin could be a fraction deeper for perfection but that is quibbling he has a level bite, he had a
good stop in profile too. Acceptable covering for his age and a nicely developing body with that
super pleasant plumpness that Devons seems to specialise in! I noticed he and his brother were
quite the pair of crowd pleasers playing quite extrovertly. He really was very unlucky to the
winner today!
3rd Mrs Hamilton’s MARJANWA ASHANTI GOLD (23) F
Class 708 AV Foreign Radius Kitten
1st Mrs Atkinson’s THICKTHORN PATIA (73b) F
See above class 700
2nd Miss Bates CATOMINE KEYOLE KATE (77) F
Going through a rather rangy phase at present and needing to mature a bit more in her head
type. She is clearly ticked a rich sepia brown over an pale ivory ground will all appropriate facial
and body markings. Her head appeared to be a wee bit too long in the wedge and not as short
as desired, her eyes too could do with dominating her head a little bit more. Her body was lithe
and of ample weight, she had neat dainty limbs, delicate paws and her tail balanced. She was a
busy wee soul today and show in very good condition.
Class 754 AC Asian Neuter
1st PC & BOB Mrs Plaw’s IGRPR RAINSGONG STEVIE GERRARD
Superb head type this exhibit has with such expressive eyes were overwhelming first
impressions made by this boy. Large and lustrous eyes of pale golden yellow colour, excellent
shape and setting. Face on he has a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle with a level
bite, very good rounding to top of head, and ears well set across his broad head, they are of
good size for his head, wide in the base and with rounded tip and small tufts. His skull in profile
shows good depth, very good rounding to brow, a well define nose break and straight nose, his
jaw had good depth but it could have been a fraction deeper for perfection. His body is well
developed and has super weight and a firm feel to it, a strong chest and straight back. His legs
are in proportion to his body being well muscled, elegant, correctly taller in the hind pair and
having charming spoon shaped paws. His tail was just short to balance though of good thickness
at the base, tapering to a paint brush tip. His coat felt soft and silky and lies well to his body. He
has rich red ticking against a tangerine background. He has faint thumb prints to his ears, a
scarab is clearly defined as is the M to his forehead, he has spectacle lines to his face and a
clear necklace which was not broken, his legs are quite clear of stripes but he had a few
smudges to his rear legs and reasonable well appointed hocks, a solid spine line which followed
down his tail to a solid coloured tip to his tail. His paw pads were pink and his eyes defined by
clear red rims. Although his neighbour had been rather noisy he remained calm on the table,
was very relaxed and easy to handle.
2nd Miss Powis’ GRCH VERVAIN ELFSTONE
A well developed boy who was a pleasure to handle. Medium large eyes of good shape and
setting thought I would prefer them a little larger for perfection with fuller lower lids though the
slant to his upper lids were impressive. Head on he has a short wide wedge which tapers nicely
to a blunt muzzle, very gentle rounding to his top of head and ears set well apart, his bite
however proved to be very untidy. In profile he has good depth to his skull, with gentle rounding
to his brow, a definite nose break with a straight nose that falls away slightly to the nose
leather, his jaw was reasonably deep but could do with greater depth for perfection and it was
set slightly back. He has a well grown solid body, good strong chest and straight back, solid yet
elegant limbs which were in proportion to his body, correct stance with spoon shaped paws. His
tail balanced well, tapering from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Distinct full
expression chocolate shading against pristine silver which did tend to darken the chocolate,
giving an even light shaded mantle descending well down his flanks, and tail. His thumb prints
were more evident in his skin pigmentation than hair but his scarab and M to his forehead were
distinct, as were the spectacle lines to his face and a strong necklace, he had several thin stripes
to his fore and rear legs and most impressive solid hocks to his rear legs. His spine line was
more diffuse down his body but clearly evident along his tail which was free from rings and
ended in a solid tip. His coat texture was soft and silky and relatively short but very close lying.
He had brick pink paws pads and chocolate eye rims. Super temperament and very placid
personality who shows himself well. Most unlucky to meet the winner today.
Class 771 AC Adolescent Cat
1st Mrs Vicker’s SREKCIV SWEETCICELY (27) F
Rather immature, but she was only just 9 months and a little upset today. Medium sized
chartreuse eyes set wide apart in her immature head that needs breadth, she did tend to round
the eye not showing the desired shape. Head on she has a short but rather fine muzzle, her bite
meets but the upper incisors sit slightly forward of the lower set, she had a gently rounded top
of head, her ears were set as wide part as it possible on her head at present, they were an
acceptable size for her head with wide bases and rounded tips, however she did not display the
correct forward tilt due to her lack of good humour today. In profile her head has medium depth
and really needs more for balance, a rounded brow and decent nose break with a straight nose
and good depth to her jaw which sat in the correct plane. Her medium sized body had good
weight and a straight back. Her elegant limbs were correctly in proportion with oval paws and
correct stance. Her tail balanced and tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. Her
coat was acceptably short in length generally soft but had a harsh feel towards the base of her
spine, it was a medium brown in tone she was shown in good condition and although upset
handled well enough.
2nd Mr & Mrs Hague’s COBATEL ODYSSEUS INVELVET (27f) M
Another immature youngster at present. Eyes having a rather hooded look today, he was a little
shy and I am not at all sure he opened his eyes fully for us; his upper lids have a slant to them
but the lower lids need to be fuller – all in all they appeared medium-small in size; amber yellow
in colour and set well apart on a head that still needs to mature. Face on he has a narrow wedge
which appears long at present, his bite was acceptable but his head appears to be rather flat. In
profile he has acceptable depth to his skull but greater depth would be desirable, again his brow
was a tad flat, his nose break was defined but his nose line although straight was too long, his
jaw was just acceptable but greater depth would be advantageous and it was set back slightly.
His large body has very good weight to it, strong chest and a straight back; his limbs are
proportionate with oval paws and a correct stance. His tail balanced and tapered nicely to a
paint brush finish. His coat was medium length, close lying and soft & silky in texture, it is a
warm cream colour with signs of powdering evident even in the poor show lighting conditions.
Shown in good condition, he is just going through that rangy phase and was little shy; not quite
showing himself to his best today.
Class 772 AC Junior Cat
1st Mrs Wilshaw’s CH ROSSIKHAN CENTREFOLD (27c) F
What a stunner! Large and lustrous yellow eyes with inner chartreuse rim which were well set
with super shape to both lids giving a typical Burmese expression. Face one she has a short
wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle and has a level bite, lovely rounding to top of head
and her perfectly proportioned ears; wide in the base with rounded tips, they are set well apart
on her broad head. Her profile show her ears have the desired forward tilt, excellent rounding to
her brow, skull of good depth, super nose break and straight nose line, a jaw of good depth but
I would like a fraction more for absolute perfection and it was set in the correct plane to the end
of her nose. Her medium sized body feels firm with good muscle tone, having a straight back
and strong chest. She has dainty but proportionate legs with dainty oval paws and correct
stance. Her tail was just short to balance but tapered well to a paint brush finish. Her coat was
short and felt soft and silky having a warm lilac tone and was very even. Although a little
concerned she handled very well and was shown in excellent condition; an exhibit with
presence.
2nd Mrs Gorman’s MOLYNMEUX DEMEUXRE (27c) F
A very pretty girl who was very unlucky to meet the winner today. Again large and lustrous pale
yellow eyes, set well and having very good shape to both upper and lower lids; a very good
Burmese expression. Face on she has a shot wide wedge which taper well to a blunt finish and
has a level bite; she has gentle rounding to her top of head and her ears are set well, having
good shape to them wide in the base and have rounded tips. In profile she has a skull with good
depth, pleasing rounding to her brow, a defined nose break and a straight nose line, her jaw is
reasonably deep but needs more depth, it does however sit in the correct plane. Her medium
sized body has excellent weight and muscle, a straight back and rounded chest, she has elegant
limbs that are in keeping to her body with dainty oval paws and correct stance. Her tail balances
and more, it tapers from a medium base to a paint bush tip. She too had a warm lilac coat that
was short and had lovely texture to it. She handled very well for us but was a little shy and
shown in excellent condition.

top of head is nicely rounded and her ear are set well apart and have good shape. In profile her

has lovely silvering to it and was short, soft and silky lying very close to her body. Shown in

3rd Mr & Mrs Boardman’s GRCH NICANORY DAISY MAY (27) F
Class 793 Red, Cream or Tortoiseshell Kitten

What a little cream cracker! Wonderful expression in his large and lustrous rich amber yellow

set in his nicely broad head. Face on he sports a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt
muzzle, having a level bite and good rounding to the top of his head, his ears are set well and
have appropriate proportions for the shape of his head; wide in the base with rounded tips. His
profile shows a skull with good depth, rounded brow, well defined nose break with a small bump
midway along his nose which hopefully will straighten out, a jaw of good depth which sits in the
correct plane to the end of his nose. A solid body for a youngster of 20 weeks, with a nicely
rounded chest and a straight back, his legs are elegant yet sturdy and in proportion to his body
having a super stance and neat oval paws; his tail balances well and tapers to a paint brush tip
from a medium base. I detected hints of powdering developing in his appealing cream coat with
is really rather clear except for wee smudges to his rear legs which will hopefully blend in as he
matures, his coat has a kitten texture to it, but is none the less is soft and silky. A very
confident young man who engaged well with us today and was shown in super condition.
Class800 AC Neuter not having won a PC
1st Miss Wrigglesworth’s SYKRIS AKHENATEN (27) MN
Although this boy is still a little immature he is very promising and has a very expensive feel!
Large and lustrous golden yellow eyes with excellent shape to both lids set well apart in a head
that is still developing and needs more breadth to it yet. Face on he has a short wide wedge
which tapered well to a blunt finish and has a level bite, nice rounding to the top of his head and
well set ears which of a good shape and size for his head but they will benefit from a greater
spread to his head. In profile his skull has good depth; good rounding to his brow, a defined
nose break and straight nose, his jaw has good depth and sits correctly in a straight plane to the
end of his nose. His body though still growing has a good weighty feel to it, a straight back and
strong chest, elegant limbs with neat oval paws and correct stance. His tail balances well,
tapering to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His coat feels very expensive like the costliest
silk and very short – it has a pleasing rich chestnut brown tone to it with a few ghost marks to
his rear legs. Shown in excellent condition and having a lovely temperament.
2nd Mrs Ferguson’s MYTHIAN TUNUKANA (27h) FN
A pleasing girl with bags of personality to spare! Large and lustrous eyes of yellow colour, her
upper lids are rather straight than slanting to the nose yet having love full lower lids, and set
well in her head. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapered well to a blunt muzzle and
has a level bite, she has gentle rounding to the top of her head, her ears are well placed and are
good for size and shape. In profile I would like just a little more depth to her skull for perfection,
gentle rounding to her brow, a pleasing nose break and straight nose line, her jaw is of
reasonable depth, but needed more depth for balance; it does sit in the correct plane to her
nose though. A pleasing compact feel to her body, nice and solid with a strong chest and a
straight back, elegant limbs that have neat oval paws and the correct taller hind legged stance.
Her tail just balances, but tapers well to a rounded end. Her coat has a lovely mix of red and
warm toned chocolate; it is short, soft and silky. A real character that had me wasting lots of
time playing with her in her pen – very unlucky to meet the winner today.

well rounded lower lids set well in her broad head. Looking at her face on she has a short wide
wedge which tapers nicely to a broad blunt muzzle with a level bite, nicely rounded top of head

more depth for balance, nicely rounded brow, good nose break and an essentially straight nose
line apart from the end where there is a tiny bump which then appears to fall away, her jaw has
reasonable depth but really needs to be deeper for perfection as it rather makes her chin look
weak, other than that it is correctly aligned. Her body feels weighty and firm, it has a strong
chest and a straight back, her legs are elegant and in keeping with her body they have oval
paws and the correct stance. Her tail tapers well to a paint brush finish and balances to her

3rd Miss Shoemark & Smithson’s BOOFYKATZ BROWN RASTABAN (27) MN
Class 908 HP Self Adult or Kitten
1st Miss Overton’s MOOMIN
What a pretty face this lovely young lady has, with a super expression across her eyes. Her
short white coat lies very close to her body and was well prepared being absolutely pristine
white. She was relaxed out of the pen and eventually purred for us.
Class 901 Tabby or Tabby & White
1st Miss Rossi’s OZZY
A lovely tabby and white boy who was initially a little reluctant to leave his pen but settled down
nicely. Shown in lovely condition and won by not hissing at the judge today!
2nd Mrs Plaw’s PEPE REINA
A very pretty boy who is used to being worshiped I would expected. If he were in the Pedigree
section I would extolled his wonderful type and stunning pattern with its superb rufousing to the
ground colour – alas this is the HP section where the only thing that counts is sucking up to the
judge; therefore hissing at the judge is a sure fire way to loose I’m afraid! I trust his owner will
teach him to suck up soon!
