The ears are very well shaped and of good size, set well apart and with correct forward tilt. His brow is gently rounded with an excellent break to his straight nose, which ends in a firm and level chin of good depth. His very expressive, deep yellow eyes are large and lustrous, are of excellent shape and set well apart. He has a well rounded chest and straight back to his hard and muscular body with slender legs and neat oval paws in proportion. Tail of good length and of medium thickness, tapers to a rounded tip. His glossy coat is fairly short, but close-lying and satin-like in texture. The coat is a beautiful tangerine with slight facial tabby markings. What an excellent Burmese male, who has a wonderful nature – and just loves being handled. A worthy winner.

EGYPTIAN MAU KITTEN
1ST BOB Forbes’ WEESAMS DAISY (78 30s) F 18/08/08
A very attractive girl who was interested in her surroundings.
Her head shows a slight rounding to wedge of medium length and the profile is gently contoured with rise of the nose to forehead, flowing back into an arched neck. From the front her nose is uniform in width and the muzzle is gently rounded, with a firm chin and level bite. Ears are medium in size with a slight flare and well spaced, set well back on head and cupped forward, continuing the line of the head. The eyes are gooseberry green and almond shaped, set straight under a level brow, with correct upward slant to lower lid. Her body is medium in length with muscular feel and high shoulder blades, her elegant legs are small, with dainty feet in proportion, and her tail is of medium length, moderately thick, tapering to end. The coat is of medium length and lies close to body, with good sheen and shows correct ticking separated by lighter silver bands.
Markings show lovely mascara lines on cheeks, distinct “M” and “scarab” on the forehead, with frown marks giving the unique “worried” look. Her body is very well spotted, the spots being distinct and of random shape and size – fainter on the underside – with prominent broken necklaces on her chest and spots and stripes on her shoulders. The front legs are spotted and barred and her spine has a dorsal stripe, which continues along her banded tail to form a dark tip.
I was impressed with this kitten.

Tiffanie Adult male – 1 cat entered, 1 for BOB only
1. CC HAMILTON’S INYANGA RAFAEL (68 43sq), Brown Shaded Silver, 17.04.08
A striking boy of almost a year old. Top of head slightly flat, fairly small ears with internal furnishings, set wide apart, tilting forward in profile & following shape of upper face in front view. Gently rounded brow in profile, good break to fairly short straight nose, the tip lining up with firm chin of medium depth. Excellent width to short blunt muzzle, level bite. Very large pale green eyes set well apart, basically of correct shape although he does tend to round them which detracts from the desired expression. Very well grown for age, solid muscular body with rounded chest; legs are a little thick in shape & paws more rounded than oval. Excellent length of tail with lovely plume. Very soft coat, a little fuller than desired, beautifully groomed & prepared. Ruff & breeches beginning to develop. Lightly shaded in seal brown, the colour extending almost half way down the hair shafts & contrasting with pristine silver undercoat. Virtually free of markings other than slightly darker spine line extending along tail, “M” on forehead, blurred facial tracings & dark brown colour extending up hocks. Excellent condition & presentation.
Considered for & awarded BOB HAMILTON’S CH JETSTAR REGAL QUEST (68 43bq), Chocolate Shaded (Burmese colour restriction), 19.11.07
A lively boy of 16 months with much more of a “Burmese” look to him. Good rounding to top of head, medium tufted ears set well apart, continuing line of wedge in front view & tilting forward in profile. Slight rounding to brow, good break to fairly short straight nose in profile; nose tip lines up with level chin of medium depth. Short blunt muzzle of pleasing width & level bite. Pale yellow eyes with green pupil ring, set well apart & showing correctly slanted top line with full lower line, giving typical expression. Heavy muscular body, rounded chest, fairly slender legs in proportion ending in oval paws; tail of correct shape tapers slightly to tip & reaches shoulder when brought around side of body. Soft textured coat lies fairlyclose & is just long enough to “flow”; ruff & breeches developing, good tail plume, ear tufts & furnishings. Colouring of warm medium chocolate contrasting with paler chocolate undercoat. I suspect that he is (homozygous) ticked rather than shaded, as there was noticeable ticking on the flanks & the overall colour distribution suggested a tabby rather than shaded pattern, however as he is still young I gave the benefit of the doubt. Little in the way of tabby markings other than “M” & scarab on head, blurred cheek markings, faint broken necklace, darker spine line & tail tip with colour up hocks. A lively boy shown in excellent condition.

18 month old blue girl looking quite immature still & not too happy to be handled today. Head generally rather long, with overlarge ears set wide apart on gently rounded top. She insisted on pulling them all over the place so it wasn’t possible to assess the degree of forward tilt in profile nor the balance in front view! In profile, forehead gently rounded & rather long, acceptable break to longish nose; slightly shallow receding chin & level bite. Muzzle also rather long & she tends to square it (no doubt due to her mood). Pale yellow eyes with green pupil ring, set well apart & showing a strong slant to the top line with well rounded lower line, giving a pleasing expression when relaxed. Slender muscular body of good weight, elegant legs in proportion ending in small oval feet; tail reaches shoulder when laid along side of body & tapers to pleasing “paintbrush” tip.

Large, lustrous, expressive chartreuse eyes, set wide apart & showing top line slanting slightly towards nose with good rounding to lower line. Solid heavy body, rather matronly in fact (quite understandable at her age!), medium legs in proportion ending in small oval feet; tail of pleasing shape falls just short of shoulder when brought around side of body. Short soft textured coat, looking a little open today; well mingled colours of soft blue & shades of cream. Slightly shy but very gentle natured.

1. NOCK’S GR PR PURFIDELIS SIRIUS (27a), Blue MN, 01.07.05
What a big boy - quite a snug fit in his pen! Very wide gently rounded top of head, medium ears set correctly, following shape of upper face in front view & tilting forward in profile. Brow a touch flat in profile, good break to short straight nose, the tip lining up with a slightly shallow level chin. Super width to short blunt muzzle, correct bite. Large, lustrous pale yellow eyes of good shape (although he does tend to round them when alert), with top line showing slight slant towards nose & fullness to lower line. Massive heavy body, could perhaps do with a bit less weight although he is still very muscular; strong legs in proportion ending in oval paws – tail of pleasing shape is a little short to balance. Lovely short close-lying coat of silky texture, soft medium blue in colour with some silvering to muzzle & paws. Shown in excellent condition – a little tense but handled well.
2. ROWLEY’S UK I GR CH & GR PR PAPAGENA TOM TUCKER (27d), Red MN, 23.05.03
Very well known boy of super type, has unfortunately become very overweight now. Excellent head type – short wedge with lovely width at cheekbones, tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle. Medium broad-based ears set wide apart on gently rounded top, following shape of upper face in front view & tilting forward in profile. Slight rounding to brow, a little heavily boned above the eyes; well defined break to short straight nose, the tip lining up with a firm chin of excellent depth. Lustrous eyes, still a strong amber in colour, set wide apart & showing correctly slanted top line & full lower line, giving typical expression. Very large body, does not quite have enough overall size to carry the extra weight and as a result lacks desired elegance. Medium legs ending in small oval paws, tail tapers to pleasing “paintbrush” tip & falls just short of shoulder when laid along side of body. Coat feels silky to the touch but is a little long & thick in texture today. Beautiful rich red colouring, paling slightly to underside, virtually free of markings apart from “M” on forehead. As always, well presented & easy to handle. I understand he became an Imperial Gr Pr today, many congratulations on his well deserved & impressive array of titles!

Chocolate Tabby Colourpointed. What a sweetie rather shy but with a lovely purr, well rounded head with wide top and neat well set ears, he has a rather heavy brow line which hide large round eyes which are a good blue colour. Short broad nose full cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and good chin. He has a compact frame and is a touch lightweight, perhaps he’s thinking of amour rather than food. Lovely short dense coat with good texture, well defined mask with clear M to forehead and spectacle markings, points also have good definition with rings, balanced length tail with rings and rounded tip. I gather he was made up today, well done he’s such a charmer he deserves it.

Large round blue eyes, short nose with rather a dip when viewed in profile, his cheeks are filling and balance this well, rounded muzzle level bite and good chin. Good size to frame again he is a fraction on the light side, his coat has good density but is a fraction on the long side and it was this that swung the balance on my awards, clear definition to mask and points, there is some body shading, balanced length tail showing some stud tail to base.

I.C. W/H JOHNSON’S CATBALU CARNICATS-SPICEY (79S 15K) F 18/11/08
Cinnamon Shorthair. A shy girl, she is a lovely colour, I am sorry to say she has the wrong head shape, it is of foreign type and a long wedge shape is the only way to describe it, lacking to the cheeks with a long straight nose, her eyes are oval in shape with a slant to the side, level bite with rounded muzzle and lovely curly whiskers, her ears are small and lacking hair to the base. Long thin body shape with very light boning to frame. Her coat is a gorgeous rich cinnamon colour, lacking density but with distinct curls coming to the ends, balanced length tail covered with rather fluffy fur. I.C. withheld due to lack of type.

What a sweet natured girl with lovely type, nicely rounded head with medium width between well set ears, round deep orange eyes, short straight nose with full cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and fair pale coloured chin. Compact body shape well filled with short sturdy boned limbs, short dense coat a deep rich red with clear tabby markings, M to face, butterfly to shoulder, separated spine line, well matched oyster, legs barrs and rings to tail. Her only fault is she is not red silver in colour, which is what she is registered as so hence why the certificate had to be withheld, once she is re-registered I am sure she will do well.

Large round eyes with a fair green colour, short broad nose, full fat cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and firm chin. A huge frame which is very well filled, held up by short thick legs with large firm round paws.

KORAT ADULT
C.C. B.O.B. EDWARDS’S CH KOORAHK ROSY (34) F 4/03/07
A korat is nothing without attitude and this girl has bucket loads of it and for me therefore irresistible. Good outer heart shape to head the inner one is developing well, she has large ears with a good set but when she screams at you she does have a tendency to splay them side wards. Lovely large eyes with a good green colour developing, short nose with slight downward curve and little bump to tip at the moment, her muzzle is developing but needs to fill more. Dainty framed with good muscle tone she is filling out well. Medium coat a dark blue with silvering only to nose and paws at the moment, balanced length tail a little thin.
DAVIES’S PERSEPHONIES SKY (34) F 26/03/08
A real friendly girl, I don’t think she has been out much and certainly hasn’t done the course on attitude. Heart shape to head developing with breadth coming across the eyes, these are large but being a soppy girl it was hard to get her to open them fully and give us the alert look, the green colour is developing well. Short downward curve to nose, rounded muzzle and fair chin, medium sized with good muscle tone and well boned legs with oval paws. Short dark blue coat with silvering only to nose at present, balanced length tail. With time I think she will be lovely.

B.O.B. RITCHIE’S NOBILERO DORCASMAGYAR (33a 36) F 20/09/08
Black Smoke, what a poppet I could have taken her home. Short broad wedge with high cheek bones, large eyes that are oval to outer edge a little round to the inner edge. Rather rounded to the brow with flat skull coming between large ears, short nose with a definite stop, her whisker break needs more definition, level bite her chin slopes slightly. Lovely sized body with firm muscular feel, very elegant neck, slim legs with small oval paws. Her coat is really just a rather fine down she has that wonderful warm feel to her stomach, you could just hold her forever. Long tapering tail fully covered.

Oval shaped eyes sloping to outer edge, slightly long nose with only a slight dip rather than a stop, his whisker break merges into his muzzle and needs more definition but has cute short chewed whiskers, level bite and fair chin.

Cream Spotted. A feisty girl with very wicked expression. Short broad wedge with high cheek bones, curved brow with flat skull between ears that have a good set but could be larger, she has a slight nick to her left ear so she obviously is fairly feisty most of the time. Large oval shaped eyes with slope to out edges of ears, short nose with only a slight dip rather than stop, not bad definition to whiskers break which has short chewed whiskers, level bite and firm chin. Good firm muscular body with elegant neck and slim legs with small oval paws. Short soft coat covers all of her body with curling to side and flanks, long tapering tail covered with short fur.
MAITLAND’S CLOUDBORN LARK RISE (33a 31dt) FN 01/04/08
Red and White. A little upset today, short broad wedge with high cheek bones, lovely large wide set eyes an oval shape and sloping to outer edge of ear. Rounded brow and rather narrow flat skull between medium sized ears, these are wide to the base but could have a lower set. Short nose with a slight break but this needs more definition, as does her whiskers break which has short chewed whiskers. Level bite and firm chin. Slender body with good firm feel, elegant neck and slim firm legs with neat small oval paws. Short soft dense coat covers all of her body with ripples evident only to her flanks and legs. Long tapering tail covered with short fur.
