Mrs C Bamford

I was asked to judge at the last moment as Sally Tokens did not make it to the show on the day due to the snow and ice.  Terri White stewarded for me in the afternoon.  She was a great help with the huge semi longhairs.

AC Persian Self Maiden Adult, Male:  1. BRAY & GRIGGS’ KASHIMA JAK FROST.  (70 2) 24/04/08.  Blue Eyed White Exotic of nice type with a good shape to his body, heavy bone and a tail length in proportion.  He had a well rounded head with neat ears set wide apart, a broad snub nose, round pale blue eyes that were a little darker towards the middle, a broad level bite, fat cheeks and a strong chin.  His coat was quite plush with the exception of his back where he lacked undercoat.  However his coat was a clean white and nice and soft.  2. HOLDEN’S SHIMBA SEABISCUIT. (3) 23/02/04.  Blue with a good cobby shape to his body, strong bone and a short tail.  Round head with neat ears, broad nose with a tiny nose leather, round deep copper eyes, level bite, round cheeks and a good chin.  His long mid blue soft coat was very unsound and still had traces of powder in it.

AC Persian Tabby Adult, Male:  1. HILL-QUICK’S ELLAQUIN KODA KODIAK. (8) 01/01/08.  Brown Tabby who is only a youngster but with lovely type.  Very compact cobby to his body, excellent bone and a short full tail.  Lovely well rounded head with neat ears set well apart, short broad nose with a good break, lovely big brick red nose leather, large round orange eyes, fat cheeks and a strong chin.  He had a wide level bite.  Full coat with clear black classic markings and a coppery brown undercoat, richer in colour on his back and head.  His face showed a clear “m” and nice lines from his eyes, clear thumbprints on his ears, clear spine lines with a large butterfly across his shoulders and good oyster shapes on his sides.  He had some necklaces on his chest, a well ringed tail and good barring on his legs.  The tummy spots were lost in his coat.  Lovely temperament.  2.  VAUGHAN’S CH TWEENTOWN TALISMAN. (7) 19/04/07.  Well grown Silver Tabby who lacked Persian head type.  He has a nice cobby shape to his body, strong bone and a short tail.  His head is well rounded with fairly neat ears set well apart.  He is slightly heavy browed.  Round orange eyes.  Broad nose that needs a better stop.  Slightly undershot bite with the top teeth concave.  Fat cheeks and a good depth of chin.  Brick red nose leather.  Full coat, soft and well prepared but with some staining on his bib.  He had a lovely silver undercoat and a full silver frill.  The markings on his body were very poor and it was hard to make out with any real clarity a spine line, butterfly or oysters.  However, he had a nice “m” on his forehead, clear tracings on his head, rings to his tail and good bars on his legs.  I could just make out a couple of necklaces but his tummy spots weren’t there.

AC Persian Maiden Neuter:  1. SIGNEY’S CH YANKIDOODLE TIGER LILLY.  (10) 14/09/05.  Chinchilla female of very good type but she was not too happy being handled on the day.  Lovely cobby shape to her body with good bone, short fat legs and a short full tail.  She had a nicely rounded head with tiny ears set well apart, large deep aqua coloured eyes, a broad nose with a good break, wide level bite and fat cheeks and a strong chin.  Her full coat was very well prepared with light even tipping and an undercoat of pure white.  She had a small nose leather of brick red and the skin around her eyes and lips was black.  2.  COX’S SSAFASEC DAGWOOD BUMSTEAD. (5) 21/06/07.  Cream male with well balanced head type but his body is a touch adolescent in shape at the moment.  He has very good bone and a tail length in proportion.  His round head has very neat ears set well apart, round copper coloured eyes, a short broad nose with a good break, a level bite, fat cheeks and a good depth of chin.  His very soft silky coat is beautifully presented with the mid cream colour not quite sound to the roots and the cream a little darker on the top of his tail.  Lovely temperament.  3.  SMITH’S ALTHALUS SWEETPEA.  (70 31ht) 21/09/06.

AC Persian Limit Neuter, Female: 1. CARR’S LAFREBELLA INNOCENTI.  (12 2) 07/03/07.  Blue Tortie and White of excellent type.  She has a lovely cobby shape to her body with short fat legs, heavy bone and a short full tail.  Well rounded head with neat ears set well apart, round deep orange eyes, broad nose with a deep break, level bite, fat cheeks and a good depth of chin.  Her full coat was soft and showed excellent preparation with clean white, sound blue and medium cream.  The blue and cream were slightly paler on her head than the rest of her body.  She had both colours to her tail and large patches of clear colour on her back with a white tummy and chest.  She had patches of colour to all her legs.  Her face showed a triangle of white from her chin to just above her eyes and within it cream to her whisker pads and chin.  The left side of face was mainly blue and the right side mainly cream.  Wonderful temperament.

Mrs D Butters

Huge congratulations to Janet and the show team for running the show. After a week of severe snowy weather countrywide, it was a miracle that they pulled it off, yet with true British grit, the exhibitors arrived, the show was as busy as usual and all seemed to go very smoothly. Special thanks to Val Kaye for her usual stewarding expertise and wonderful company.

AOV SLH CHAMPION MALE
GRC, TAYLOR’S CH BRIZLINCOAT ARABIAN NITE, 63a, 31.05.07
Sorrel Somali. A beautifully balanced elegant gentleman with a lovely alert expression and Somali smile. Large ears, cupped and pricked, sitting well apart with a good crescent shape between them when viewed from the back. Good breadth to the head which shows a moderate wedge with gentle contours. Slight nose break with a slight rise from the nasal bridge to the forehead. Lovely bright and very expressive eyes, almond shaped and green in colour, set in a good oblique setting. Firm chin, level bite. Long and very well muscled body, he has wonderful muscle tone. Long elegant limbs, oval feet with well tufted toes. Long tail, broad at the base and tapering slightly towards the tip, full brush present. Well grown breeches, coat of medium length to the body, soft, dense and lying flat along the spineline, some ruff present around the neck. Well marked face with spectacles and eye liner, he has a clearly visible slightly darker line along the sine and top of tail, with very well marked heels. A very well ticked individual, giving the impression of a copper coloured cat with a rich apricot base ticked with cinnamon. Great to handle and beautifully presented.
RESERVE, MITCHELL’S CH ADSETLO MERDENS SON, 66, 28.07.07
Seal Colourpointed Ragdoll. Another impressive male with a lovely head shape, really strong and broad with a flat plane between the ears. Medium sized ears, set wide and with a slightly forward tilt. Large eyes, slightly obliquely set and mid blue in colour. Very well developed full cheeks and good definition to the rounded muzzle. Medium length nose showing a really nice profile, gentle dip present and slightly retrousse towards the tip. Level bite, firm chin. Large long body, in balance with the head, very well boned limbs of medium length, large round paws. Bushy tail, just a fraction on the short side in comparison to the body and I had to take this into consideration when placing these two boys as they were so close! Very well defined seal brown points, even in depth all round and showing very good contrast with the beige body even though it did have some darker top shading over the back. Very full dense winter coat, full knickerbockers and ruff. Wonderful temperament. I could have done with being able to award two Grands in this class.

AOV SLH CHAMPION FEMALE
GRC, HINES’ CH STACYM QUINTESSENCE, 63, F, 27.04.06
Usual Somali. The first thing that you notice about this girl is her really vivid colour – the standard calls for a rich brown and there is no doubt that this girl is certainly that! Head of good overall length and nice breadth for a female, moderate wedge with gentle contours present. She has large ears, though initially she was holding them down because she was rather unsure of her surroundings. However, with the aid of a teaser they came up well, giving her a very alert expression. Green eyes of good almond shape, set quite obliquely. Slight nose break present. Chin could be a little firmer and deeper for perfection. Long muscular body, long limbs and tufted feet which were oval in shape. Long tail, balancing the body length very well, a little lacking in furnishings at the moment. Medium length coat to the body with breeches evident, coat texture was soft and dense, ruff developing around the neck. Beautifully marked face showing spectacles and eye liner, well marked black heels and darker spineline. Very rich shade of apricot, very well ticked with black. Well presented and although she was nervous, we had no problems handling her.

CHOCOLATE/LILAC POINT BIRMAN ADULT MALE
CC, METHVEN’S CH LADYPAWS CARUSO, 13c3, 09.01.08

Very well developed full round cheeks, strong well developed muzzle. Large deep blue eyes, almost round in shape. Medium length nose with a slight dip in profile. Level bite, full chin. Really long heavy body, excellent substance for age. Thick-set limbs of medium length, short strong paws. Bushy tail which was very well furnished and balancing the body length. Coat quite long, especially for a young male with a ruff present. Ivory body colour, contrasting with the milk chocolate points. Well coloured ears and nose, colour depth developing across the mask, up the legs and the tail. Right glove had a slight dip of colour between the two inner toes, though this was acceptable. Left glove was slightly scalloped, white covering all the toes. White socks covered the back feet and were nicely matched in length, gauntlets tapered to end in points about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks. A delight to handle, fabulous temperament and groomed beautifully.

CHOCOLATE/LILAC POINT BIRMAN ADULT FEMALE
CC & BOB, DELANY’S DEENLAY MISSDIOR, 13c4, 30.03.08
Lilac Point. Just ten months old, and I was really impressed with this young lady all round, showing maturity and development well beyond her tender age. Strong round skull with excellent breadth yet retaining femininity. Medium sized ears, sitting well apart on the head. Large mid-blue eyes, not quite round in shape and very expressive. Slight dip in profile to the medium length nose, small bump present below the bridge. Strong, well developed muzzle. Level bite. Full chin though it could be a touch firmer. Wonderful body for shape, length and size, she really feels very substantial. Well boned limbs of medium length, short strong feet. Very bushy tail, proportionate to body length. Long silky off-white coat, full ruff framing the face. Very well developed points, especially for such a young female of this colour, pinkish-grey mask, ears and limbs, all similar in depth, tail a little paler in comparison. Well marked gloves, ending in a line just below the angle of paw and leg. Full white socks covering the back feet, right gauntlet was a little blunt at the end, the left one tapered better and both ended about two-thirds of the way up to the hocks. I felt that she had wonderful balance, overall development, coat length & colour and strength and this tipped the balance when I was deciding on awarding the BOB today. She was beautifully presented and easy to handle.

RED/CREAM/TORTIE POINT GROUP BIRMAN ADULT MALE
CC, DAVIES’ CARRISMOON JACKFLASH, 13c5, 23.04.08
Red Point. This male was of very good size and substance for nine months old. Skull was broad and round, cheeks filling out, well developed muzzle. Level bite, full chin. Ears still a little on the large side of medium, as expected of a young male with full head development yet to come. They were set wide apart, he did tend to flare them, which I put down to he not being very happy today. Large eyes, almost round in shape, currently two-toned with mid-blue centres and slightly paler blue rims. Medium length nose with slight dip present, small nose bump present. Long body, very good weight and muscle tone, thick-set legs of medium length, short strong paws. Well furnished bushy tail, in proportion with the body length. Coat length developing, fairly long ruff around the face, the coat texture was silky, pale cream in colour. Orange toned ears and mask, paler orange to limbs and tail. Gloves covered all the toes on the front feet, shape angled outwards. White socks covered the back feet, gauntlets were rounded at the end rather than truly tapering, they ended about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks.

Medium length limbs, very well boned and thick-set, short strong paws. Beautifully furnished bushy tail, balancing the body well. Really long winter coat, very silky feel to it, full ruff. Very well developed points showing an excellent mingled mixture of lilac and various shades of cream to all points. Left glove was a touch longer than the right, the gloves both ended in straight lines below the angle of leg and foot. White socks were nicely matched in length and covered the back feet. Gauntlets of very good length, left one marginally shorter than the right which ended just below the hock. Both finished in a rounded shape. Super to handle and groomed to perfection, one of my favourites of the day at Shropshire.
CC, BRIDGE’S PENBERIS EVENING STAR, 13c5, 01.10.07
Red Point. This sixteen month old was well developed for age, with good breadth to the rounded skull and well filled round cheeks. Medium sized ears, balancing the head well and set wide apart. Large eyes, not quite round in shape and a fairly deep shade of blue. Slight dip to the medium length nose. Chin quite full, level bite. Medium to large body size, in balance with the head and tail length. Quite substantial boning to medium length legs which led to short paws. Rich red points, well developed colour to mask and tail, limbs slightly paler in tone when compared to the other points. Coat was pale cream in colour, slight darker red top shading evident over the shoulders. Lovely full silky coat with ruff around the neck, very well furnished bushy tail. Well marked gloves ending just below the paw/limb angle, which socks which were even in length and covered the back feet. Nicely marked gauntlets, tapering well to end just below the hocks. Very well presented. This girl was very chatty today.

AOC SOMALI (EX SILVER) ADULT
CC & BOB, TAYLOR’S BRIZLINCOAT SAHARA, 63e, F, 09.01.08
Fawn. This young lady had a very alert expression indeed, she wanted to be into everything and everywhere, giving the impression of a cat with eight legs. Moderate wedge to a head of nice breadth for age with proportionately large ears which were set wide yet high, cupped and pricked. Good gentle contours and a slight indentation forming the muzzle. Bright expressive eyes, almond shaped and set obliquely, amber in colour. Slight nose break present with a slight rise to the forehead. Level bite. Chin quite firm, could be a little deeper for perfection. Long muscular body, and together with the long limbs, she gives the impression of an elegant female. Oval feet which were nicely tufted. Nicely furnished tail, full brush and tapering slight towards the tip, length balanced the body well. Quite a well developed ruff, especially for a young girl, full coat length yet to develop though it did have a soft texture. Nice length to breeches. Well marked heels. Face had good spectacles and eye liner. Pale oatmeal base colour, very well ticked with fawn. Slightly darker fawn spineline and top of tail. Coat a little open in the tummy area, which I put down to her hormonal status. A playful girl who loved the teaser.

CHOCOLATE/LILAC POINT BIRMAN KITTEN

Large pale green eyes, set well and in a slight oblique. Good shallow concave curve to the nose, square muzzle. Level bite.

3RD HUNTER’S MAJANCO IORINGEL, 64 31at, 10.03.07
Blue Tabby & White. Twenty-two months old and this boy is currently going through the adolescent stage. Large ears, set high on the head, about an ear’s width apart. They were very well furnished with tips and tufts. Head of very pleasing medium length, now needing to broaden as overall it is still on the narrow side. High set cheekbones, though cheeks not yet filled out. Hopefully, as he matures the head will continue to develop breadth. Very expressive eyes, large and bright, green in colour and set well apart with a slight oblique set. Nose has a shallow concave curve, though he does have a nose bump present. Square muzzle, chin of good depth, just rounds off a little at the end. Really long body, he is currently rather rangy and stands high on the legs. Limbs and paws were well boned. Lovely tail all round, easily reaching the shoulders and beautifully furnished and flowing. Some ruff present around the neck, coat currently on the shorter side, though it does show an increase in length down the back and sides of the body. Quite well marked classic tabby, white to lips, bib, chest, tummy and all paws. The markings are a medium depth of blue with pale mushroom agouti. I do feel that this boy has some very positive attributes and just needs time to mature. He should look much more balanced once his head fills out and his adult winter coat really develops. He was lovely to handle.

Ms M Chapman

Many thanks for the kind invitation to judge, I was surprised to see so few absentees, no more than usual, with all the bad weather that had been affecting so much of the country. Just goes to show what stalwarts the exhibitors are.
AC BURMESE IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE: Both of these boys were very timid and not showing themselves well, what a shame. I did leave them and go back but unfortunately they were not overly forthcoming. IMP GR CC and RESERVE not awarded, sorry to disappoint. 1. BRIDGES’ GR CH SANLIS DIAMOND GEEZER (27a). Gentle rounding to top of head with good ears. Large yellow eyes, slightly full in shape, better when relaxed but his heavy brow and broad bridge to nose, possibly accentuated by his timidity, detracted from the expression. Mature head with definite nose break, level chin but would like more depth, untidy top teeth but bite level. Strong, sinewy body, very tense and not happy to be handled, slim legs with oval paws. A young lad not yet two years of age, would like larger in size and body unbalanced with his head at present.  Mid blue colour to coat, showing silvering, of good texture, generally lies well but a little long on tummy.  Tail thick at base and needs more length.
2. MATTHEWS’ GR CH KATCHYN COCO LOCO (27b). Rounded top of head and dome, flattening to forehead, ears of good shape and size. Large yellow chartreuse eyes of good shape but looking a little deep set accentuated by his heavy brow and probably not helped by his timidity. Mature head with blunt muzzle, definite nose break with level chin but needs more depth, untidy teeth but bite looks level. Mature weighty body but rather plump, strong shape to legs and oval paws. Coat a little long but lies well generally, slightly open on spine, chocolate coat showing a little shading and virtually a smoke effect to roots. Tail is thick in shape and rather short to balance his body, showing a small area of stud tail but is clean, coat rather long. A gentle, timid lad, just wanted to hide.
AC BURMESE IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE: IMP GR CC COLLIN’S GR CH AUREUS FEMME FATALE (27c). Super girl in lovely condition. Gentle rounding to top of head of good breadth with ears of good shape, size and set. Large yellow eyes of good shape and expression. Blunt balanced wedge with definite nose break, very slight bump, level chin but would like more depth. Very good weight and feel to mature body of very good bone, well shaped legs and oval paws. Very good texture to close lying coat of warm toned lilac colour, slight blue tone to tail. Tail of good shape but would like a little more length to balance. A very attractive girl, who is a little spirited but handled, in very good condition. I believe she went on to win Best In Show – congratulations.

Good breadth to gently rounded top of head with ears of good shape, but holding so low due to her mood. Large yellow eyes of good shape. Blunt muzzle to wedge with acceptable nose break, small bump to nose, level chin. A weighty, mature girl, a little plump, good shape to legs and oval paws. Very good coat texture, even in colour.

AC Burmese Imperial Grand Premier, Male:  Four cats entered.  Imp GPC.  HALL’S GR PR SANLIS SECRET SAMADHI.  Handsome mature boy, well balanced and of good overall type, looking strong and distinctly masculine.  Slender lithe body is heavy and of very good substance, feeling hard and muscular with level back, gently rounded chest and slender well shaped legs ending in compact oval paws in proportion.  Head forms short wide wedge, blunt in the muzzle with slightly rounded top between well spaced medium size ear, which are broad at the base and of good shape.  Large lustrous golden yellow eyes are of very good shape and set wide apart to give typical Burmese expression.  In profile shows good depth to skull, brow is a touch flat, very good break, short nose with leather that falls away at tip, chin is level and of quite good depth.  Coat of medium length is fine and lies very close, smooth and satiny in texture and in superb condition with a gleaming shine; medium to dark blue grey in colour, even in tone with lovely silvery edges to head, ears and limbs.  Tail tapers evenly to “paintbrush” tip and almost balances.  Very calm, contented and good natured – a pleasure to handle and such a super expression.  Res Imp GPC.  27/6/06.  WILSHAW’S GR PR ROSSIKHAN CRACKER JACK.   5/1/07. Handsome young man, who is nicely balanced, elegant and of good overall type, I think he still needs a little more time to mature and reach his fully “finished” potential.  Long slender body is sleek, lithe and muscular, of very good weight and substance with straight back, gently rounded chest and slender well shaped elegant limbs ending in compact oval feet in proportion.  Head shows short wide wedge with slightly rounded top and well spaced medium large ears, broad at the base and of good shape with rounded tips.  Large lustrous palish chartreuse yellow eyes are of very good shape and set wide apart to give typical Burmese expression.  Very slight curve to brow, very good break, short straight nose; chin is level and of fairly good depth.  Very close lying silky smooth coat is fine and of medium length, shown in beautiful condition and displaying a glistening sheen.  Medium to slightly dark dove grey is even in tone with good frosted effect to head, ears and limbs, it was difficult to see pinkish cast in hall light.  Tail is a touch thin overall and tapers evenly to rounded tip, length is just short to balance.  Calm, friendly and very easy to handle.
AC Burmese Imperial Grand Premier, Female:  One girl entered.  I.  ImpGPC withheld.  WILLIAMS’S UK & IMP GR PR ZAMPETTO LIMITED EDITION.  12/3/03.  Mature attractive lady of very pleasing type.  Slender well filled body is of very good weight and substance, feeling firm and well muscled with straight back, gently rounded chest and slim well shaped legs ending in neat oval paws in proportion.  Head shows short wide wedge, slightly pointed in the muzzle and sucking in her cheeks giving her a slightly pinched appearance, very slight rounding to top of head, medium size ears are broad at the base and of good shape, well spaced but she did tend to flare them and hold them a little low.  Lustrous large pale yellow eyes are of very good shape and set wide apart to give typical expression when she is fully settled; at times she looked rather startled with her eyes quite full and rounded.  Brow is flat, very good break, straight nose; level chin needs a little more depth.  Coat is of medium length, a touch long on the back, fine and close-lying with a satiny texture and in super condition displaying a healthy shine.  Rich warm seal brown colour is just slightly uneven in tone in places.  Tail is rather thick in shape overall, tapering slightly to rounded tip; length is noticeably short to balance.  Very shy and nervous today and not showing herself at all, it was difficult to get her to relax and settle. Sorry, but too many small faults to award such a prestigious certificate today.    
Cornish Rex Adult:  One boy entered, plus one for Best of Breed only.  1CC & BOB.  DESOLLA’S INDASIA PHANTOMOFTHE OPERA.  Cream.  2/3/08.  Elegant handsome boy, mature and well developed for eleven months and of very pleasing type.  Long slender sleek body is of very good weight, feeling firm and muscular with gently rounded chest, and standing tall on elegant slender well shaped legs of good length ending in neat oval paws in proportion.  Head forms medium wedge with high cheeks and quite good breadth to gently rounded muzzle, long curled whiskers and eyebrows.  Medium large broad based ears are shaped like mussel shells when viewed from behind and held correctly high when he is alert and attentive.  Large expressive rounded almond shaped eyes are set wide under straight brows.  In profile flat skull curve forward at brow, slight dip in profile line to nose, chin recedes slightly and is of reasonably good depth.  Well covered in a fine silky coat, dense and with good curl to hairs giving tight regular waves that can be felt on back, sides and flanks, a little straight along spine-line, neat ripples down chest, on back of neck and across shoulder, well covered tummy with good rexing, plush down legs, loose waves along tail, shown in super condition.  Tail tapers evenly to finer tip and balances.  Calm, gentle and very sweet natured boy, alert and interested in all around him.

Chocolate.  14/3/08.  Attractive young lady, well developed for her ten and a half months and of very pleasing type.  Long slender lithe body is elegant, firm and well muscled, of very good weight and substance with straight back, gently rounded chest and elegant slender well shaped legs ending in neat oval feet in proportion.  Head forms medium wedge with good breadth to gently rounded muzzle and defined whisker break; well spaced medium large ears are broad at the base and of good shape.  Large lustrous eyes are shaped like rounded almonds and set wide apart and at a slight slant, colour is slightly greenish blue.  Very slight curve to brow, very gentle break, chin is just level and of fairly good depth.  Fine close lying coat is of medium length and smooth silky texture, in superb condition with a glossy shine.  Warm rich quite dark chocolate points merge quite sharply into warm even pale milk chocolate tone on body, but acceptable in such a young cat, lighter still in tone on under-parts.  Tail is rather thin is shape overall, tapering evenly from moderately thick base to finer tip; length just balances.  Talkative and lively girl, very good natured.  
Cornish Rex Kitten:  One kitten entered.  1.  BOB withheld.  MURPHY’S RASTAKESHI POWDER PAINT.  Blue. 16/8/08.  Handsome baby boy of very pleasing type, of good size and weight for his age but feeling rather bony especially along spine and around the chest and ribs.  Elegant slender body has sound muscle tone, a little lacking in flesh and substance, however, as I say, he does not feel underweight; gently rounded chest and standing tall on slender well shaped elegant legs ending in neat oval paws in proportion.  Head forms medium wedge with high cheek-bones and good breadth to gently rounded muzzle, whiskers are short and stubby.  Medium large ears are broad at the base and form good mussel-shell shapes when viewed from behind, held correctly high on head when he is settled and alert.  Rounded almond shaped eyes appear just large enough for his rather baby-face and are set wide apart under level brows.  Flat skull curves forward to brow, slight dip in profile line to nose, chin is level and of quite good depth.  Well covered with a fine silky coat, but rather open and untidy in appearance, showing moderate curl to hairs to give only very loose ripples on body, sides and flanks, loose ripples on chest and under-parts and rexing on neck and throat, plush down legs, very slight wave on tail.  Tail tapers evenly to finer tip and balances well.  Alert, talkative and very lively kitten, affectionate and very sweet natured.   A kitten of some promise, who seems to be going through a burst of growth at the moment, I look forward to seeing how he matures.

Mrs E Culf

Many congratulations to Janet Tonkinson and all the Shropshire team on running such a successful show, the good old British weather perhaps causing headaches they could have done without, as some judges had to pull out in such snowy conditions and classes were re-allocated – I hope exhibitors were not too disappointed with the changes!  Many thanks to my good friend, Jim Warrender, for stewarding once more so expertly, handling the exhibits with great care and compassion, whilst also keeping track of all the extra classes! 

CLASS 257       AV SLH IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER MALE
IGPC, BUNCE’S IGRPR COONTASTIC NIJINSKY, 64 31t, BROWN TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON, 27.10.05
Sensational looking male, oozing quality from every pore!  Excellent head shape and proportions, the length to breadth ratio is perfect, his ears are large and held well, lovely tufts, he has high cheek bones, wonderful strong square and deep muzzle, level bite.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, pencil straight line from nose leather to strong and deep white chin.  Expressive vibrant green eyes, full and round, spaced apart and obliquely.  His body is strong and sturdy, a large frame standing on proportionate substantial limbs and huge tufted paws, wonderful flowing tail to balance.  His glossy top coat is well patterned, lovely warmth to the copper agouti ground colour of the classic brown tabby, with black markings on top, whilst his white chin, chest, belly and paws were snowy white and sparkling.  His owners are to be congratulated on his fabulous presentation, he absolutely looked the part, what a fabulous boy to share your lives with! 
RES IGPC, WATTS’ CH & GR PR EMANAN BOOTSTRAP BILL, 63c, BLUE SOMALI, 15.07.05
I was extremely impressed with this stylish looking lad, posing regally in his double pen and looking so well balanced and composed.  Super head shape, gently curving contours to form a moderate wedge, with a high forehead and slight nose break to the profile.  He has a gently rounded muzzle and firm chin, level bite.  Ears are large and set wide apart, good breadth at the base and well cupped, super tufts on the tips and wispy furnishings.  Lovely expression from large, almond shaped eyes that are vibrant green in colour, enhanced by the lighter spectacle markings surrounding the eyes.  Well grown and well proportioned, of medium build and muscular feel, with long legs, tufted oval feet and a long well furnished tail to balance.  His expertly presented medium long soft blue coat has a mushroom base colour, a little cooler in tones along the back than the warmth of the chest and tummy areas, but showing well defined blue ticking, velvety blue heels and he has just a small amount of white colouring to his nostril area.  A very handsome lad, oozing quality, unlucky to meet the magnificent Maine Coon in this prestigious class today. 

CLASS 258       AV SLH IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER FEMALE
IGPC, BUNCE’S GR PR KEVERSTONE CLEMENTINE, 64 31et, TORTIE TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON, 11.02.07
I have judged this very beautiful female before, and always admire her stylish looks, enhanced by her fabulous and vibrant coat colours.  She displays wonderful balance, her head is medium in length and slightly less wide, high cheek bones and fairly full cheeks, uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, strong deep chin and square muzzle.  Expressive full and round green eyes, set apart and obliquely.  Very well grown and well proportioned, very nice to see such a strong and muscular female who retains her femininity seemingly effortlessly.  Stunning coat qualities, the glossy top coat is shorter around the head and shoulders, increasing in length down the back and flanks and the mix of colours of black on the copper agouti ground, overlaid with red shades is delightful, and like her companion who won the male Imperial class, she is presented to perfection by her adoring owners.  She looks glorious, and was a worthy winner in another strong class.
RES IGPC, BURGESS’ GR PR ROCKOON STARGIRL, 64 31t, BROWN TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON, 15.03.05
Another extremely striking looking Maine Coon female, wonderful balance and structure.  Very pleasing head shape, being medium long and slightly less wide, high cheek bones and fairly full cheeks.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, pencil straight line from nose leather to deep chin, very good square muzzle, level bite.  Her ears are large and tall, held well and well tufted.  Expressive and alert green eyes, full and round, set slightly obliquely.  Her eyes were constantly darting around the hall as she carefully watched my teaser, looking as if she wanted to pounce any second, wonderful playful nature and such a livewire!  Excellent body size and structure, large and muscular body, substantial legs and large round tufted paws, long tail to balance.  Her brown tabby coat patterning is well defined, coat is just a little short at the moment, particularly around the head where she needs her ruff to develop more.  Very attractive girl, a pleasure to judge two such wonderful examples of this breed. 

CLASS 259       AC BIRMAN PREMIER MALE
A strong class with five handsome boys present, leaving me with a very tough decision to select two winners!
GPC, BROWN’S GR CH & GR PR DALTEEMA DIAMOND DAN, 13c5, RED POINT, 26.01.06
A wonderful looking lad, of very good Birman type and size.  His skull is broad and rounded, he has full cheeks tapering gently to firm muzzle, strong chin.  Medium sized ears are spaced well apart.  His medium length nose shows a slight dip to the profile, albeit with a very slight bump.  Expressive almost round eyes, the colour is slightly paler than the ideal deep blue.  Well grown and well proportioned boy, lovely solid feel to the body and limbs, thick set legs, strong paws and a bushy medium length tail to balance.  Sparkling white feet markings, his gloves are even across the front paws, gauntlets are long and full.  His silky soft pale cream coat was presented by an expert, not a hair out of place and in sparkling condition, contrasting well with his pale red points colour.  Super nature and a pleasure to award the Grand, such a shame he came up against two magnificent specimens of their respective breeds in the Imperial class, where this fellow came within a whisker of an award today, I’m sure his turn will come! 
RGPC, HOUGH’S PR LAVALNA SUNBEAM, 13c1, SEAL POINT, 01.05.07
The youngest in the grand class today, but more than holding his own with the more mature boys.  The archetypal seal point Birman, looking so very striking and handsome.  Excellent Birman type, strong broad skull, medium sized ears spaced apart, full cheeks tapering to firm chin, level bite.  Medium length nose with slight dip to the profile.  Expressive, soul searching deepest blue almost round eyes, such a gentle look.  Nicely balanced proportions, muscular feel to the body and medium length legs, bushy tail to balance well.  Pristine white feet markings, his gloves are neat, socks even and gauntlets are long and tapered.  He was wearing a beautifully prepared soft and silky pale beige coat, he has a full ruff to frame the head magnificently and his deepest seal points colouring enhances his overall appeal.  He has a fabulous nature, and handled like a dream.    

CLASS 260       AC BIRMAN PREMIER FEMALE
1ST, GPC WITHHELD, BICKLEY’S PR CHANDALINI LOUISANA SKY, 13c2, BLUE POINT, 21.04.06
An extremely pretty female, exuding such a feminine and gentle air.  Very nice Birman type, gorgeous deep blue almost round eyes are so appealing.  Good breadth to skull, medium sized well placed ears, medium length nose with slight dip in profile, full cheeks and slightly tapered chin.  Well grown and well proportioned, good body size and weight, bushy medium length tail to balance well.  Sparkling white feet, her gloves are even across the paws and her gauntlets are matching length and tapered.  I was so sorry to find that her right back foot has a very small white spot of just a few hairs that are detached from the gauntlet, hence my reason for withholding her certificate today.  Her silky soft coat was clear bluish white and presented to perfection, points colour is mid blue and contrasts so delicately.  Wonderful nature, she didn’t mind the extra massaging to her back foot as I tried so hard to make the white hairs meet the gauntlet, sadly to no avail. 

CLASS 250       BROWN/BLUE TABBY/TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON KITTEN MALE
1ST, ROBERTS’ CELTICOON ASWAN BLUE, 64 41a, BLUE CLASSIC TABBY, 10.08.08
A handsome lad, and already displaying a muscular feel to his body, strong and powerful and if the size of his paws is anything to go by, he will certainly be a massive cat!  Good head shape already, the length to breadth ratio is very good, albeit his cheeks need to fill out more to give better definition between the cheeks and muzzle area.  Uniform width to nose, shallow concave curve to the profile, pencil straight line from nose leather to deep firm chin, excellent squareness to the muzzle.  Full round eyes are set slightly obliquely and apart, alert expression.  Very good body size and weight, well structured and well toned boy, with proportionate limbs and long tail to balance.  His classic tabby patterning is stronger around the head and shoulders, with blue markings on a cooler agouti ground colour, lower back is more solid in colour.  Friendly boy, lovely to handle.   
2ND, HOLDEN’S COONARIA LINCOLN, 64 41, BROWN CLASSIC TABBY, 23.06.08
Another promising looking boy, who was also an excellent size and weight for his age.  Very pleasing head shape, medium long and slightly less wide, high cheek bones and cheeks filling out well.  Uniform width to nose, with quite a shallow and gentle curve to the profile, I would prefer this to be a little stronger for perfect balance.  Excellent square contours to the muzzle already obvious, chin is deep and firm with a small amount of white around this area, level bite.  I loved his ears and tufts!  The ears are large, tall and set well apart, wonderful tufts already.  Full, round eyes are set slightly obliquely, vibrant two tone green colour.  Well grown and muscular looking boy, very good body length and breadth to the chest developing, substantial limbs and tail length balances well.  Showing good definition to the classic brown tabby coat pattern, that was glossy on top but needed more attention to his tummy area, and his tail was slightly greasy.  A nice boy to handle.

CLASS 250a     BROWN/BLUE TABBY/TABBY & WHITE MAINE COON KITTEN FEMALE
1ST & BOB, CHANT’S SHEERCLASS MOONSHINEMISSY, 64 41w, BROWN CLASSIC TABBY & WHITE, 12.09.08
An absolutely delightful young lady, definitely living up to her prefix name!  Full of promise and looking so stylish already, and wearing a soft kitten coat that shows exquisite brown classic tabby patterning, clearly defined markings from the M marking on the forehead to the stripes on the head, butterfly marking on the shoulders, unbroken line down the spine, with stripes on either side and oyster shaped patches on the flanks, with white markings to enhance her appeal, the standard of points could have been written for her!  Developing so well, and already showing the desired elements of the breed, her head is slightly longer than it is wide, cheek bones are high and cheeks are filling out well, strong square contours already obvious to the muzzle, shallow concave curve to the profile, strong chin and bite seems level.  Her ears are tall and large, good space between them and her full, round eyes are set slightly obliquely, slightly two tone green colour at the moment.  Well grown, solid structure and weighty feel to the body, proportionate limbs and tail length balances well.  Wonderful nature, so inquisitive and playful and definitely one to watch for the future!  My congratulations on her best of variety win later in the day, I shall certainly watch her progress up the showscene ladder!
2ND, PORTSMOUTH’S SHEERCLASS MUSCAR KEISHA, 64 41w, BROWN CLASSIC TABBY & WHITE, 12.09.08
This young lady is the litter sister to my winner, and also shows great promise, albeit her head shape is not as developed or broad as Missy’s at the moment, a little more breadth to this area would enhance her appearance enormously.  Lovely ears for size and set, with delicate wispy tufts.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, square contours to muzzle, good chin and bite appears a fraction uneven at the moment.  Full, round two tone eyes, very playful and alert expression.  Another well grown girl, solid and sturdy feel to the body and limbs, tufted paws, tail length balances.  She too has excellent brown classic tabby patterning to her kitten coat, and lovely white markings.  Well presented, playful and purring. 
3RD, ROBERTS’ CLEVERCLOGGS KATAZEM, 64 41, BROWN CLASSIC TABBY, 19.05.08
This young female is four months older than the two sisters in the class, and going through the stage in her development where everything needs to come together, particularly her head and cheeks.  The length of the head is medium, she has high cheek bones but cheeks are looking fairly narrow, and her muzzle, though showing square contours, could be broader for better balance.  Her large ears are set fairly wide apart, but she tended to flare them sideways somewhat, spoiling her look a little.  Very pleasing body length, but needs to be heavier and more substantial for her age, she needs more time.  Well presented, friendly girl.

CLASS 251       SILVER TABBY SERIES MAINE COON KITTEN MALE
1ST & BOB, HOLDEN’S WISCASSET LOOTAH, 64 18d, RED SILVER TABBY, 19.06.08
A handsome looking boy, with a wonderful friendly nature.  Already looking nicely balanced, his head shape is medium long and slightly less wide, his ears are large, tall and well tufted, cheek bones are high and cheeks are filling out well.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, albeit there is just a hint of a slight bump to the nose.  Excellent pencil straight line from pink nose leather to deep strong chin, strong square and broad muzzle, level bite.  Full, round copper eyes, set slightly obliquely and so expressive.  A strong boy already, feeling firm and muscular, with substantial limbs, strong large tufted paws and a fabulous flowing tail to balance well.  Very nicely presented lad, his classic red tabby markings overlay the silvery base coat and show good definition along the back and on his legs.  I liked him
2ND, LANGLEY’S FRAZERCOONZ LIFE OF RILEY, 64 41s, SILVER CLASSIC TABBY, 06.09.08
This young fellow is almost three months younger than my winner, and in this breed those few weeks can really make such a difference, in terms of development and size.  This boy has oodles of quality, just needs more time to develop.  His head proportions are balanced, the ratio between length and breadth is pleasing, and his ears are set high and apart, good size and well tufted.  He has high cheek bones and cheeks are filling out, his muzzle shows square contours but needs to be a little stronger for perfection, his bite appears slightly uneven at the moment.  Full, round eyes are set slightly obliquely, two tone green in colour.  Good body size and weight, long and fairly sturdy, with large tufted paws and a long tail easily the length of the black.  Well defined silver classic tabby markings, albeit there is some tarnishing to the top coat at the moment, particularly around the head and ears and a little on the back.  Friendly boy. 

CLASS 251a     SILVER TABBY SERIES MAINE COON KITTEN FEMALE
1ST, MASKELL’S KELFERRON SCARAMOUCHE, 64 41s, SILVER CLASSIC TABBY, 17.05.08
Friendly girl.  Very good strength to the head already, nice length to breadth ratio, with high cheek bones, cheeks filling out well and square muzzle, deep chin, slightly uneven bite, as she seemed still to be teething.  Super large ears, spaced apart and high, wispy tufts.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile.  Vibrant green eye colour, set slightly obliquely and wonderful alert expression.  Well grown and well proportioned girl, she really did look like the tail with the cat on the end, fabulous!  Her coat patterning is well defined, showing classic silver tabby markings, but the coat was quite greasy and separating along the back and around her head which really detracted from her appearance.  Such a shame she was let down by somewhat disappointing presentation, as I really liked her overall look, she shows lots of quality attributes. 

CLASS 165       CHOCOLATE/LILAC BIRMAN NEUTER
PC & BOB, METHVEN’S IGR CH NORVIN FARRARI DINO, 13c4, LILAC POINT MALE, 25.06.03
A pleasure to award a PC to this very handsome and well known boy, though I expect the girls are missing him now he has been neutered!  Super looking lad, magnificent head shape, showing such good breadth and roundness to the skull, well placed just medium sized ears, full cheeks and medium length nose, with slight dip to the profile.  His almost round eyes are deep sapphire blue in colour, such a smouldering expression.  Excellent body size and weight, long and massive frame, thick set proportionate limbs and paws, bushy tail to balance.  Sparkling white feet markings, his gloves are tidy, gauntlets are matching and medium to long length.  Expertly presented palest magnolia silky soft coat, such a soft texture and contrasting well with his pinkish grey points colour.  A smashing boy to handle, wonderful laid back nature. 

CLASS 278       AC BI-COLOUR RAGDOLL NETUER
PC & BOB, BULLOCK’S QUARENTO PUSSY GALORE, 66 31, SEAL BI-COLOUR FEMALE, 14.10.06
An extremely pretty female, with a gorgeous facial expression.  Broad head with flat plane between medium sized ears that tilt forwards slightly, good width between them and held well once she relaxed.  Well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, firm chin and level bite.  Her white inverted V marking starts low on the forehead, extending downwards past brilliant blue eyes that are large and well opened.  Well grown and well proportioned girl, excellent body length and weight, proportionate limbs and round well tufted paws, with a bushy tail to balance well.  Her legs are all white, albeit there is one small seal patch of colouring on the right front leg, and she has white markings across her shoulders and one patch on the back.  Well presented dark beige coat that shows contrast with her deep seal points colouring.  A little tense to begin with, but she did relax and show herself off well. 

CLASS 279       AC COLOURPOINTED/MITTED RAGDOLL NEUTER
BOB, MORIARTY’S PR DIZZIPAWS CHUKIE, 66a, BLUE COLOURPOINTED MALE, 15.06.05
I’ve admired this very handsome and whopping great example of the breed before, he certainly fills his double pen, yet still looks poised and well balanced.  Excellent head shape, beautifully balanced ears and wonderfully expressive deep blue eyes.  Substantial lad, with large strong body, proportionate limbs and long bushy tail to balance.  Thick and well presented bluish white coat contrasts with his blue points colour well.  For such a large boy, he really is a gentle giant, with the most adorable nature, loving the attention and the cuddles! 
PC, HARMER’S RAGSMITTEN SASKIA, 66, SEAL COLOURPOINTED FEMALE, 14.04.06
A very attractive female, with a very pleasing Ragdoll look.  Her head is broad with a flat plane, good width between medium sized ears that are wide set and tilt forwards, albeit she did tend to hold the ears slightly to the sides at times, much better when we had her undivided attention.  Well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, good chin and level bite.  Medium length to nose with gentle dip.  Large, well opened eyes are set slightly obliquely and quite good blue in colour.  Very pleasing body size and weight, well proportioned with medium length legs, large tufted paws and a long bushy tail to balance.  Her coat is generally pale beige, thick and well presented, just a fraction shady across her back and also on her tummy, but still showing good contrast with deep seal points colour.

Mrs A Gregory

I sympathised with Janet and her team having to face the weather problems and so many judges not attending but must congratulate them on pulling everything together so well, it was a very enjoyable show. I was most grateful to Stephen Bunce for stepping in to steward for me. He handled the cats so well across the breeds. I hope we can work together again. I judged a large number of Mrs Shingleton’s classes, I do hope exhibitors were not too disappointed with the change.
AV FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION, MALE
1 IGC SHAKESPEARE-ENSOR’S GR CH WAIVETAIL DOMINO, 23, M, 11.7.2005
A handsome and very well balanced Abyssinian of excellent type and style. Moderate wedge with gently rounded contours. Good width between the large, well cupped and pricked ears. They were set well so that the line followed the wedge. Slight indentation to the muzzle which was rounded. The profile showed the desired slight nose break and the chin was reasonably firm. Very expressive almond shaped eyes set wide apart and in an oriental setting. Brilliant hazel tone. Lithe, muscular body with a straight back and rounded rib cage. Slender legs and oval paws. The tail tapered to a rounded tip and gave overall balance. Excellent rich colouring, the overall effect was golden brown made up of black ticking on a bright apricot base. Brick red nose leather. Excellent facial markings. He had a black line extending along the spine and tail to the black tip. Shown in sparkling condition and with a superb, confident, friendly temperament. A top quality cat, well worthy of this high award.
RES: MORELAND’S GR CH LLANDAR SABU, 76 30, M, 9.10.2004
A friendly, confident Bengal of excellent type and conformation. He had a broad, medium wedge that was well balanced with rounded contours and high cheek bones. There was the slightest bump on the profile and the chin could have been firmer. Expressive eyes that were oval and a brilliant colour. Very good breadth to the muzzle. Long, sleek, muscular body with a pleasing strength. Good legs and rounded paws. The tail was a little fine. Short coat that was really dense and soft to the touch. Stunning colour and excellent spotting – clear rosettes. Excellent condition and temperament.
AV FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION, FEMALE
1 IGC ARCHER’S SHADANZA TANZANITE, 77, F, 2.5.2002
A stunning Singapura of excellent type and “look”. Excellent head with a short, broad muzzle and a blunt nose. The skull was well rounded with width at the outer eye and a definite whisker break. Slight stop to the profile and a straight nose with well developed chin. The ears were large, wide open at the base and deeply cupped. They were set slightly wide of parallel. Excellent eyes that were set well apart, wide open with a dark outline to emphasise them. Brilliant green tone. Lithe, muscular body of medium length with good legs and small, oval paws. Slender tail with a blunt tip. Short, fine, silky coat with a healthy gloss and close-lying. Soft warm colour made up of an ivory base coat clearly ticked with sepia. There were clear cheetah markings to the face and the salmon nose leather was outlined with sepia brown. There was barring to the inner front legs and faint marks on the back knees. Excellent condition and temperament.
RES: SHEPHERD’S GR CH LORRENTINO LADYGUINEVERE, 33a 36, F, 27.7.2004
Another beauty of excellent type and a real “Pixie” face! Very good short, wide wedge with high cheek bones. Strong muzzle with a whisker break and good depth to the chin. Short nose with a good stop and the brow curved back to a flat skull. Large ears, set well apart and low. They were very wide at the base and tapered to rounded, tufted tips. Excellent eyes that were large, oval and spaced well apart. They slanted towards the outer edges of the ears and she had a really wicked expression. Slender neck and very good head carriage. The body was of medium length, muscular with a broad chest and marginally plump. Excellent legs and neat oval paws. Long tail to balance. Lovely rexed coat that was short, dense and soft. Shown in excellent condition and she had real “attitude”. Unlucky to meet the winner.
PERSIAN BLUE-CREAM KITTEN
1 + BOB PRIOR’S ZENITH ALICE BLUEGOWN, 13, F, 21.5.2008
This kitten was not in balance on the day, she is almost an adult but her head appeared marginally small in relation to the body. The head was well rounded with good breadth but the cheeks and muzzle need to develop more fullness. The ears were reasonably small, rounded at the tips and well furnished. They were set well apart in the contours of the head but appeared prominent as the frill was short. Bold eyes that were large, full and round. The colour is still rather muddy, but promising. Short, broad nose with a stop but the blue leather was small. Good bite and firm chin. Good cobby body with a firm, muscular feel to her. Short, thick, strong legs and round, tufted paws. The tail was short and bushy. The coat was a good length on the body and thick. It was fine, soft and silky. The frill needs to develop more to frame the face. On the whole, the blue and cream was well intermingled. There were some very dark blue guard hairs on the back. The blue was pale at the roots. The cream was a pale, pastel tone and sound. She was well presented and was confident and sweet tempered. I considered withholding the BOB because she was not quite in balance and because of the dark blue guard hairs, but felt that would be rather harsh in the circumstances.
SEAL POINT BIRMAN NEUTER
I did consider exhibit 156 for Best of Breed, but felt he was outshone by the Premier winner on the day.
1 PR + BOB HOUGH’S PR LAVALNA SUNBEAM, 13C1, MN, 1.5.2007
A really handsome Birman with lovely type and expression. The head was broad with strength of skull and rounded contours. Full, rounded cheeks and a well developed muzzle with a full chin. The ears were of medium size and set well apart. Slight dip to the profile. Excellent eyes, almost round, a deep blue and with a soft, gentle expression. Long body with strong muscles and substantial boning. Medium length bushy tail. Excellent coat, long, silky and fine in texture and beautifully presented. Warm seal points and excellent contrast to the beige body. Good gloves. The gauntlets were a little ragged but a good length. Excellent condition and temperament.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN NEUTER
1 PR + BOB BICKLEY’S PR CHANDALINI LOUISIANA SKY, 13C2, FN, 21.4.2006
A sweet female who was beautifully presented. Good type and balance overall but I would have liked more width and fullness to the cheeks. Medium ears that were well spaced. The profile showed a slight dip and the chin had depth. Large eyes, almost round and a good tone of blue. Gentle expression. Long body with a good muscular feel and the medium legs were well boned. Medium length to the tail. Silky coat that was a good length with soft blue points and excellent contrast. Neat gloves and gauntlets. Shown in excellent condition and with a delightful temperament.
BRITISH LILAC ADULT, MALE
1 CC WADE’S RODWAYE HARRYARTY, 15C, M, 18.6.2005
A massive, masculine, cobby and compact male with a round face that was thrown out of balance because he was very jowly. Small ears, rounded at the tips and set well apart in the contours of the head. Full cheeks. Short, broad nose but the chin did slope away. Large eyes, round and well opened. Yellow tone. Solid, muscular body with a short back and deep chest. He stood low on short, sturdy legs with round, firm paws. The tail was of medium length and thick. The coat was short but needed more density. Good tone to the lilac but not sound to the roots. Excellent temperament and shown in good condition.

Excellent coat that was short, dense and crisp. Excellent pale blue and immaculate white. He was the son of my CC winner!
1 + CC KNAPP’S PETTICOTE SIMPLYDRUMMER, 31F, M, 19.5.2003
A handsome, strong, cobby, mature male of excellent type and balance. Lovely breadth to the skull and a round face with full cheeks.

A very pretty young female, barely an adult but showing lots of potential and she was very well balanced on the day. The head had breadth with well rounded contours. Neat ears set well apart. Full cheeks. Short, broad nose and good chin. Excellent eyes that were well opened and round. They were set well apart and a bright copper tone. Compact body that was well muscled.

SNOW MARBLED BENGAL ADULT
1 IC + BOB COOPER’S THOMASTAR HESTIA, 76a 20, F, 9.10.2007
A friendly female of good type with a medium wedge and rounded contours. The head had reasonable breadth but I would like the muzzle to be more full and broader, it was too rounded. Medium ears, wide at the base and rounded at the tips. They were set well. Good profile and chin. The eyes were oval in shape and set at a slight slant towards the base of the ears. Clear blue tone. Thick neck and long, sleek, muscular body with good legs and paws. The tail was of medium length and rounded at the tip. The coat was moderately short, reasonably dense and soft to the touch. Excellent marble pattern that was elongated and did have the appearance of pearl dusting. Excellent condition and temperament.
BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL NEUTER
I did consider exhibit 359 for BOB. He was a handsome cat of excellent type with a lovely rich coat and pattern but he was eclipsed on the day but the superb female neuter.
1 PC + BOB MORELAND’S TOBYSDEN FANTASIA, 76 30, FN, 4.6.2007
I thought Fantasia was a stunning female with a superb temperament and excellent type. She was a delight to judge and I think she is worthy of the highest awards with the star quality to achieve them! Excellent head that formed a broad, medium wedge with rounded contours; the cheekbones were high and it seemed smaller in proportion to the body. Gentle curve to the profile with a nose that was large and broad with a puffed nose leather. Moderately small ears that were short, wide at the base and rounded at the tips. They were set well and followed the contours of the face. Very expressive oval eyes that were set on a slight slant. Full, broad muzzle and a good chin. Pronounced whisker pads. Thick neck. Long, sleek and muscular body that was strong with muscular legs and large, rounded paws. Superb tail, medium length, thick and even with a rounded tip that really did give her the appearance of an exotic cat. Beautiful coat that was short, really dense, luxurious and soft to the touch. Beautiful pattern with excellent contrast, bright ground colour, clear rosettes and glitter. I was so pleased I had inherited this class from Mrs Shingleton!
2 JONES’ ADSETSH YAMKA PRINXESS, 76 30, FN, 23.4.2007
We did manage to get this female out of the pen but she was very tense and extremely noisy. Her yowling was upsetting neighbouring cats so she was returned without being judged thoroughly. I felt her muzzle fined and she lacked the type and quality of the winner. Her legs were long but rather fine boned and she also had a fine tail with a pointed tip.
BLACK SILVER BENGAL NEUTER ASSESSMENT
NO MERIT AWARDED TO WAGSTAFF’S SILVERSAFARI VALENTINO, 76 30s, MN, 14.2.2006
I felt this Silver Bengal was of poor type and did not resemble the breed description. The ears were large, flared cupped and set rather high on the head. He had a triangular wedge with width at the cheeks and the lines fining to a rounded muzzle. Broad nose that seemed to heavy and prominent for the face. Chin sloped away. Bold eyes of rounded almond shape that were straight set. Long, muscular body with long, fine legs and oval paws. Long, fine tail with a pointed tip. Medium length coat that was longer down the spine and with a resilient texture. The ground colour of the coat was a dark, fuzzy silver, lacking the required extreme contrast. Agouti invasion in the spots. Tarnish on the face and paws. Good temperament and condition. I would have expected better type, cleaner silver and clearer pattern definition for the Merit to be awarded.
OCICAT CLASSIC TABBY ADULT ASSESSMENT
MERIT AWARDED TO SHORTEN’S THICKTHORN CALYPSO, 73 41B, F, 3.1.2007
A very attractive and balanced queen with lovely Ocicat type. Moderate wedge showing a slight curve from the muzzle to the cheeks and a gentle rise from the bridge of the nose to the brow. Broad muzzle and good chin. Alert ears that were quite large and set at the correct angle. Large, very expressive almond-shaped eyes. Long, muscular body with depth to the chest and very good legs and paws. Fairly long, tapering tail. Short, glossy coat that was close-lying. Excellent rich chocolate colour markings and showing contrast to the pale copper agouti ground. Clearly defined classic pattern. She was a little shy, but with a sweet temperament and shown in excellent condition. I felt she was a pleasing example of the breed and pattern.
MERIT AWARDED TO SHORTEN’S AMEEKA KESTREL SPIRIT, 73 41K, D, 1.1.2008
A confident and friendly female who was very beautiful. Modified wedge of excellent type and balance. Very good ears for size and set. Broad muzzle and good chin. Slight dip to the profile. Very expressive eyes that were almond shaped and a rich golden tone. Slight muzzle pinch. Elegant yet muscular body with good boning and a firm athletic feel to her. Very good legs and paws. Tapering tail that balanced well. Excellent coat quality and texture. Rich cinnamon markings on a paler agouti ground. Her markings were very attractive, more marbled than classic, but nevertheless very striking and clearly defined. Excellent temperament and condition, a pleasure to judge.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN KITTEN
1 + BOB SMITH’S WAVETAIL GALADRIEL, 23, F, 3.6.2008
A beautiful and promising Usual Abyssinian with lovely type and expression. The head formed a moderate wedge with pleasing rounded contours. Large ears, well pricked and cupped were set well apart but still followed the lines of the wedge. There was a slight indentation to form the muzzle which was nicely rounded. Slight nose break to the nose and she had a reasonable chin. Beautiful eyes that were large, almond shaped with an oriental setting. They were a clear, brilliant amber tone and very expressive.

SEAL POINT ADULT, MALE
1 + CC + BOB SKIVINGTON’S CH FURRYFACE CRASSUS, 24, M, 15.5.2004
A confident and handsome Seal Point who was masculine but elegant with a proud expression. Balanced, even wedge of with the breadth of head to take the length. Large ears, wide at the base and set to follow the lines of the wedge to form an equilateral triangle. Good profile that was virtually straight and firm chin. Oriental eyes that slanted towards the nose but were set well apart. Good depth of blue. Elegant neck and pleasing head carriage. Long, svelte body with a solid, muscular feel. Long, fine legs and oval paws. Good whip tail to balance. The coat was short and fine. Marginally coarse on the lower back, but that is a nightmare with Siamese studs in the winter! Warm seal points that matched well and showing excellent contrast to the warm, beige body. Well shown in excellent condition and looking very good indeed for a Siamese stud of his age. Lovely temperament.
SEAL POINT ADULT, FEMALE
1 CC ARNETT’S MAZPAHS TIGERLILY, 24, F, 5.3.2008
Young female of good type but she did tend to hold her ears high. Even wedge with a superb profile and a good depth to the chin. Very good eyes of oriental shape and set. They were a clear blue and expressive. Long, elegant body with long, fine legs and neat spoon feet. Long, fine tail to balance. Her points were a dark seal, almost black.

Mr J Hansson

My thanks to Janet for the invitation & hospitality. An extremely busy day due to a number of judges having to pull out as a result of the rather inclement weather conditions, with the extra classes as a result. However on the day, though initially cold it was a bright day & most of the snow in the areas was gone.  Thanks once again to Wayne Vessey who travelled just to steward, a duty he performed well. 

Siamese Imperial Grand Premier, Male;
IMP GR PR DAVIES  GR PR RENDZINA CAPTAIN SCARLET.  32a.  21-04-05.  Red Point, very stylish & elegant lad who in an ideal world could have a little more masculinity for my own particular preference.  Very good length well balanced wedge, beautifully even lines, very good profile, firm chin, bite marginal over.  Ears large & with wide well open base complementing his wedge, lovely fixed wide setting.  Gorgeous eyes, such a lovely oriental shape & slant, colour difficult to assess but they appeared to have a very good depth & intensity & I had no reason to think otherwise, such a trusting gentle expression.  Elegant neckline, lithe well toned body of good length, slim legs, neat paws, good length whiptail.  Close lying well prepared coat, excellent texture.  Warm glow to his body with some light tonal red shading, points colour has a good degree of brightness, paler stockings on the front legs.  His condition was exemplary & he has the most amazing temperament if that alone were enough he would be impossible to beat, so beautifully composed & kneaded away constantly.    
RES IMP GR PR  SHAWLEY’S  UK GR PR HIGHIQ XTRAVAGANZA.  32/1.    19-08-05.  Seal Tabby Point, another very handsome fellow who also has a pleasing degree of style & balance.  Well balanced length wedge with virtually even lines, profile near straight, good depth chin, bite has the odd loose tooth.  Ears well placed, good larger size, complementary wide open base to balance his wedge. Intense brilliant blue eyes, the shape oriental if marginally on the fuller side, very expressive.  Good length of neck, firm well muscled body of good length, slim legs, oval paws, fine tail I would prefer a little longer.  Quality coat, very sleek, well prepared, laying close, could just be a mite shorter.  Well defined facial tracings with double cheek ribbons on each side, well marked ‘M’ on the brow, some thumbprints on the ears, excellent leg bracelets, adequate tail rings, more clearly defined towards the solid tip, well marked heels, despite quite a bit of shading (which was showing a spotted base pattern) there was still quite a good degree of contrast.  Super condition & another lad with a very relaxed composed gentle nature who loved being handled. 

Original Foreign Grand Premier, Male;
GR PR Not Awarded.  1st  DALE’S  PR POOLSIDE OSCAR MISY.  33a 40 15.   
17-10-01.  Red Tabby Point Devon Rex (according to the breed number), but his colour eye colour indicates otherwise, however that is not relevant.  He has a number of excellent features for his breed but also a couple of areas where he needs more to fulfil the requirements.  Good width to his cheeks which show good definition, the muzzle a little long & too fine, fair whisker break, flat brow between the ears very slight break in profile as opposed to stop, shallow chin, good bite, marginal bite.  Ears I would have preferred larger, though quite a good wide flare to the base they required a little lower in set.  Large wide oval shape to the eyes, gentle slant, hazel/green as opposed to blue, lovely expression.  Good neckline, excellent lithe yet muscular body, slim legs, oval paws, well balanced length tail.  Beautifully covered body with excellent rexing (if slightly flicky) present for its entirety, good degree of density, soft fine texture, soft ripples don the legs & the length of the tail. Warm red deeper colour on the extremities.  His condition & temperament both excellent.    

Oriental Grand Premier, Male;
GR PR Not Awarded.  1st  GREY’S  PR  FLOWERDEW RAPSCALLION.  29. 
12-01-07.  Havana, a very stylish looking exhibit, who had in the main very good type. Longer length wedge, minimal pinch, very good profile, deep chin, good bite, one loose lower incisors.  Ears large, excellent flare to their base, though he holds them just a little higher & more pricked than I would ideally have preferred.  Eyes have very good oriental shape & slant, the colour lacking a little in vibrancy for a Havana, just making green, expression very good.  Lovely length of neck, long lithe well toned body, long slim legs, oval paws, very good long fine whiptail.  His coat was short & very close lying, sleek well prepared texture.  The colour though sound & glossy, was extremely dark brown requiring more warmth & evidence of rich chestnut tones, has the thin nose smudges where the hair changes direction on the bridge of the nose that one often sees on Havanas & Chocolate Point Siamese.  Eye colour & coat colour the reasons for withholding as he was otherwise a very pleasing exhibit.    
2nd  LOWEL’S  PR SUSPIRA WILLIAM BECKFORD.  37k.  21-04-07.  Cinnamon, a very portly & ungainly looking lad with the head a little out of balance.  Head has a medium more modified wedge with slightly rounded muzzle, with curve beneath the cheeks, very good profile, quite a good chin, excellent bite.  Ears are on the small side & require a greater degree of width & flare.  Eyes have generally good oriental shape, if marginally straight set, colour just making green.  Body is rather large & overweight which detracts from both style & elegance, legs are quite slim but the tail thick at the base & looks short in relation to the body due to the extended waistline.  Close well prepared coat, a little on the longer side.  Reasonably warm colour of even cinnamon tone, which was virtually sound. 

Bi-Coloured Ragdoll Kitten;
1st  & BOB.  LYNCH’S  MAGICRAGIS  PERSEPHONE.  66 31.   04-10-08.  Seal, quite an attractive baby, good width to the cheeks, reasonable breadth to the muzzle, but as yet a little pinched albeit probably due to teething, flat brow, with gentle dip to nose, slightly retrousse tip, quite good chin, bite good.  Ears medium size, spaced well apart, quite good inner ear furnishings, hint of forward tilt.  Body is in keeping with her age, well proportioned legs & paws with small tufts, well balanced tail the brush still to develop. Typically soft fluffy baby coat, with wispy edges, fluffy knickerbockers & tummy area, with fringes round the base of the ears.  Inverted white blaze, with the white extending from the chin & all the way to the tummy, including white legs, to above the hocks on the back legs, slightly brindled mask, solid seal ears, the tail still showing quite heavy rings which will hopefully clear as she grows up, light beige tone shading.  Very sweet nature, excellent condition.  

British Silver Spotted Adult;
Considered for & Awarded BOB.  KIDD’S  CH MAKEWAYFOR KRESTAAMELIA.  03-10-05.  Pleasing girl, who was a pleasure to handle.  Head well rounded shape, fat cheeks, the brow rounds, good depth chin & level bite.  Ears smaller medium ears, set well apart fit well into the head shape.  Well open round eyes of good size, the colour making hazel………..just, though I would have preferred it greener. Well proportioned body, with good legs & paws, balanced tail.  Coat short & with good density, has a pleasing degree of crispness to it.  Facial tracings good, cheeks stripes, good ‘M’ on the brow, lines break over her neck, well broken spine line, the body is well spotted,  with spots on her tummy, leg bracelets, adequate tail rings.  The silver ground colour was very good though the pattern elements could be denser black, very slight amount o tarnish on the muzzle.  Super condition & her temperament was excellent. 
Also Considered for BOB.  KIDD’S  CH PURRAVIDA HARRY POTTER. 
27-09-05. Rather a lean lad, requiring a little more body substance.  Head ideally requiring a more rounded shape & more fullness at the cheeks, rounded brow, nose a fraction long, good chin & bite.  Ears medium size & he tends to prick them a mite high.  Very good large well open eyes, round in shape & an excellent clear green tone.  Body needs to acquire a greater degree of depth, as result looks a little long & high in the legs, round paws, tail medium thickness.  He does have a very impressive degree of crispness to the coat, which also had good density to its good shorter length.  Hi pattern has a good black appearance which is well contrasted by the silver ground, well defined facial tracings, good spotting on the body, offset tail rings, black tip, heels marked well up the hocks.  Very placid temperament & his condition as very good. 

Brown Spotted Bengal Adult, Male;
CC Not Awarded.  1st  ADSETSH CHEBONA BULA.  20-01-07.  Well grown lad who has good length but his head a little out of balance.  Longer head requiring a little more breadth t his cheeks, these could also be a little higher & more defined, the muzzle a little fine, rounded brow, slight break in profile, shallow chin, bite good.  Ears are a little on the larger side & he is inclined to prick them a little tall.  Eyes large fuller rounded oval shape, very good green colour.  Body is well grown & has good length, strong legs, good size paws,  tail long & also a little fine for my preference. Medium length coat & density, texture has a pleasing soft texture.  Body shows good spotting, with well marked leg bracelets & tail rings, clear cheek ribbons, well marked ‘M’ & scarab on the muzzle.  The colour I would have preferred brighter to give more contrast, but the undercoat was warmer, well spotted tummy.  His condition & temperament both excellent. 
2nd  NUTTER’S  ADSETSH ASIL SERHAM.  23-04-07.  Quite a vocal lad, who was well grown but another who lacked a little in head type.  Head could have a more rounded wedge, cheeks moderately high but could use a little more width, rather fine muzzle, the nose rather straight, chin tapers a little, good bite.  Ears again could be a little wider in set, rather large in size.  His eyes are a good larger wide oval shape & a very good green colour.  Body long & rather lithe, long legs, paws good size, tail long & much too fine.  Excellent coat texture, beautifully soft & with a good density, well prepared.  Well marked cheeks stripes, good ‘M ‘ & scarab, clear leg bracelets, well spotted body. Warm colour to the ground with very good contrast, rich bright undercoat, well spotted tummy.  His condition was excellent, likes to shout but no malice. 

Brown Spotted Bengal Adult, Female;
1st & CC.  HIBBS’S  CH CHRISJAY TWICE ASNICE.  12-02-06.  Though I would have preferred this girl a little better grown, she did have the most amazing temperament. Type generally good but I would prefer a little more maturity.  Rounded wedge, quite high cheeks, rounded muzzle, gentle hint of break, adequate chin, bite level.  Smaller medium size ears, tens to prick a little.  Very good green eyes, wide oval in shape. Body good length well toned but not as large as I would have wished, the legs & paws proportionate, tail medium length.  Coat has very good density & soft texture.  Good cheek ribbons, complicated brow markings, well defined leg bracelets & tai rings, body showing well defined spots along the length of the body, varying size.  Well contrasted against the rich apricot ground, showing deep colour on the throat, chest & tummy with spots  also present on the tummy itself.  Condition excellent,   
2nd  LEWIS’S  PENTRANCH GRAFITTI MAGIC.  05-05-08.  Only just 9 months & still looking very much more kitten than cat, though type wise looking much better out than first impressions immediately suggested.  Generally good head despite being small, shorter slightly rounded wedge, good width to her muzzle, gentle rounding to the top, with slight dip in profile, good chin & bite.  Ears smaller medium size, rounded tips, well set.  Eyes good large size, rounded wide oval shape, very good green.  Body as yet still very small & also rather light in weight at present & still to grow on & develop more fully which she will hopefully achieve as she matures, relatively fine boned legs & paws, reasonable tail.  Coat rather long & somewhat fluffed open, lacking the more luxurious texture.  Her pattern is rather heavily ticked & as a result the pattern is dull & lacks contrast, superficial spotting on the body, leg markings & tail rings more defined, facial markings again a little blurred.  Very sweet disposition, condition very good.   
Considered for & Awarded BOB.  MORELAND’S  GR CH LLANDAR SABU (TICA DGC).  09-10-04.  Handsome if noisy lad,  whose colour was stunning. Broad rounded wedge, well puffed whisker pads, rounded brow with slight dip to the nose, good depth chin, level bite, canines set wide apart.  Ears are smaller medium size, set well, rounded tips.  Large well open rounded shape to the eyes, the colour interesting in that the colour is vivid but did not appear to be completely green having a hint of aqua tone also.  Strong neck, well muscled male body, well grown, proportionate well boned legs, good paws, medium thickness to the medium length tail.  Coat has good medium length with a good degree of density, texture if one was being particularly picky the coat could be just a little more luxurious to the touch.  Excellent sharp clarity to the facial markings, multi cheek ribbons, complicated brow scarab, some thumbprints on the ears, beautiful rosetted spots on the body, well spotted tummy, lovely clear leg bracelets & tail rings, black heel markings & tail tip. Deep bright golden effect with deeper more ruddy golden throat, chest & tummy, contrasting beautifully against the pattern, some glitter present also.  Super condition & despite his vocal rendition his temperament was excellent.

Chocolate Point Siamese Adult, Male;

Her ears are very large & have very wide flared base, she does undeniably bonnet them a little but they are beautifully wide set, set low but not so low that they drop below the head line. Eyes have a most impressive oriental shape, excellent slant, lovely deep blue colour, quite a wicked expression.  Long neckline, very long lithe well toned body, long legged with neat paws, fine tail of well balanced length.  Her coat could perhaps be a little shorter but was nonetheless beautifully close lying & well prepared.  Body has quite a degree of mottled tonal shading (which always look darker on Seal Torties, due to the combination of colours), the contrast to her points still well defined, the dense seal points all showing some break of colour of mainly paler shades of red with one or two areas where it is a little brighter.  Her condition was excellent, has a degree of attitude, which really does give her a little extra impact, besides she is a Tortie it is part of the package.   
2nd  RICHARDS’S  DEBIKAT GRACIE-MAE.  32/1.  02-4-08.  Seal Tabby Point, at only 10 months this young miss though still very dainty has an excellent degree of style.  Not a long wedge but beautifully even & well balanced, very good profile, firm chin, good bite.  Excellent ears being large & wide at the base, beautifully set.  Eyes are a lovely oriental shape & setting, deep vivid blue colour, super expression.  Body though still quite dainty was perfectly proportioned with her slender limbs & small neat paws, fine tail.  Short close lying coat, excellent texture, most beautifully presented.  Virtually clear body & as result well contrasted to her tabby tracings, well striped cheek ribbons, clear ‘M’, some thumbprints on the ears, more delicate leg bracelets, well ringed tail. Her condition was superb & she has such a gentle & very trusting temperament, should do very well for herself.

Mrs J Jones

I was called in to judge Mrs Murchison’s classes when she was unable to attend but due to the adverse weather, several other judges were also absent and I was asked to judge some of their classes. I therefore had a very large book and due to pressure of time to catch my train I did not have time write a report on some of the last classes. This is not something I would normally do but this was a very unusual day! I apologize to any exhibitors this will affect.  My grateful thanks go to Sue McParlin for stewarding for me on an extremely busy day.
OPEN CLASSES
AV ORIENTAL CHAMPION MALE:
Gr Ch ARMITAGE’S CH CHAPELROSE OHMEOHMY (37a) M 13.11.07.  Elegant young male, very good type, for perfection he needs more masculinity but is young as yet. A stylish cat with a medium wedge head, small pinch and very good topline. Almost straight profile, bite level with some front teeth missing, firm chin.

AV ORIENTAL CHAMPION FEMALE:
1 (Gr withheld) JACKSON’S CH DRUIDSWAY VISIBLE DARKNESS (37) F 01.09.05. Mature female, a small cat but well covered, a feminine queen who is, in my opinion, not quite up to grand standard in type.

Good sized ears, needing a little more width at base, well set. Long firm body, long slender limbs, tail needs an inch to balance.

Eyes rounded in shape, yellowy green in colour. Large flared well set ears. Long svelte body, long legs, dainty paws. Tapering tail of length to balance. Short fine textured coat, not completely jet black with scattered white hairs, her coat was very sparse indeed under her stomach and down back her legs. Shy but good to handle, well shown and presented.
3 DAVIES’ SATIVA KELSEY BLACK (37) F 04.09.06.  Small fine boned queen not in the best of condition today, shorter rather narrow wedge head with good topline.

Fine boned body, long slender legs, dainty paws. Good length fine tail. Coat fine textured but rather long and open in places and somewhat scurfy along the spine line. A gentle girl well shown and presented.

Mrs P Knight

It is an annual pleasure to be invited to 'the Shropshire' my local show, and of which I have been a member for many years.  A short journey, loads of parking, delicious real farmhouse lunch, some beautiful cats, and last but definitely not least, the help and support of Anne Ashworth, Emerisle Ragdolls, and the home of the famous Emerisle Diamante, as my steward.
AC BIRMAN CHAMPION MALE
1 & Gr Ch  Methven's CH LADYPAWS CARUSO 9.1.2008
Chocolate Point. The only exhibit present in the class, but he certainly deserved his win, no doubt of that. One could definitely say of him 'very nice all round'.  Full broad head, with a mature look, wide top, medium size ears, full cheeks tapering to a broad muzzle, shapely firm chin of good depth, neat profile dip and medium length nose, and almost perfect scissor bite. Just a hint of brindling around nearly round but not quite, soulful blue eyes. Excellent body length, sound through the middle, and balanced medium length tail, a full plume, what I might call 'white' milk chocolate in shade, and a touch of brindling at base. Long silky coat, lovely texture, beautifully groomed, full ruff framing his face, ivory body colour, definite milk chocolate colour fully developed on ears, mask, and legs.   Very good behaviour, I really liked him.
AC BIRMAN CHAMPION FEMALE
1 & Gr Ch Methvcn's GR CH LADYPAWS MARSHMALLOW 9.2.2007
Lilac Tortic Point. I did not notice until I read the catalogue that, although there is a difference in age, Caruso and Marshmallow are actually brother and sister from the repeat mating. They are a credit to their owners and were carefully groomed to show them off as befits candidates for a Grand award. There aren't that many 13c 10’s about. Very nice sound but feminine head, wide top, medium size ears lightly mottled in shades of lilac on pale beige agouti background. Gentle profile dip and curve to medium length nose, pink nose leather with black spots. Absolutely level bite. Broad muzzle, firm but not very deep chin. Excellent body length, sound bone, beautiful medium length tail with a full brush, legs and tail in pale shades of lilac on beige. Super silky coat texture, no shading at all. just off-white magnolia all over, and beautifully groomed. Cute face pattern, with fine white whiskers. Feet markings satisfactory all round. Again, the only exhibit present, but well worthy of the award.
SEAL POINT BIRMAN KITTEN MALE
1 & BOB   Coward's LIZZARA SUNBEAM 28.8.2008
I think that in Chinese finance 8's are considered good luck. Sunbeam was a smart young man, and a good size for his age. Just a little bit apprehensive, but it is a big wide world for a kitten. Good head width, wide top, very good medium size ears sound seal in shade, strong profile dip, with gentle curve below to medium length nose, and deep seal nose leather. Quite full cheeks tapering to a fair depth chin which recedes a little. Very good top teeth, lower row just coming through.   Sapphire blue eyes, almost round, good shape for his age   Long body, filling out well, and balanced medium length tail, quite a good plume already. Very good development overall. Excellent coat texture, soft and silky, very pale clear beige with a little faint shading on flanks. Good points match all round. Low but level gloves, short socks, very nice pointed gauntlets.
SEAL POINT BIRMAN KITTEN FEMALE
1 Slevin’s ASHANNAS MAMMA MIA 9.7.2008
First impression, very good contrasts indeed. It is hard to beat the original Birman combination of deep seal and clear pale beige when teamed with the blue eyes and little white feet. And her markings were all but perfect too.  Full broad head, medium ears, slight dip in profile, bite a little overshot, broad muzzle, and quite good firm depth of chin Nearly round but not quite sapphire blue eyes. Good body length and boning, medium length tail filling out. Very silky pale beige coat, with deep seal points. Level gloves, short socks, pointed medium length gauntlets, and pale pink paw pads. Very composed behaviour. A little sweetie pie. just not quitc the bone development of Sunbeam.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN KITTEN MALE.
1    Blatherwick's KYNOBI LUCAS 8.8.2008
Talkative! and with a fat pot too. A typical bonnie Birman kitten, full of beans and personality. Broad head with very good ears for shape, and strong blue points. Full cheeks tapering to a broad muzzle, and firm chin of fairly good depth. Neat profile dip and sound sapphire blue eyes, nearly round but not quite. Excellent body weight, good length, strong legs, and balanced medium length tail, both tail and legs rather more pale than the ears and mask, but acceptable for his age. Excellent coat texture, soft and silky, good length and bluish white all over. Level gloves, medium length socks and quite good matching gauntlets. Good grooming completed the picture, and he really enjoyed being shown.
2.   Osborn's SNOWWITCH SUMMERSTORM 25.7.2008
Another fat pussy, but it is so nice to see such bonnie kittens and so well grown for their age. Broad head with excellent ears for shape and points colour. Profile dip and overall nose profile a little straight. Full cheeks, broad muzzle and good chin depth. Top teeth bite only as yet. Good body length and boning, plumy tail just a wee short for balance, but excellent points colour and match all round. Excellent coat texture, soft and silky, clear bluish white all over, and very well groomed. Very neat gloves, short socks, and broad gauntlets a little on the short side, paler round the edges - it is the best way 1 can describe of the white fading into the blue leg around it. A friendly little man.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN KITTEN FEMALE
1 & BOB   Horton's KYNOBI TRINITY 8.8.2008
I only realised when I read the catalogue that Trinity and Lucas are brother and sister, and Mrs Horton's stud the father anyway. To say quite nice all round is not damning with faint praise because she really has no faults as per the SOP, and apart from the fact that her tail could be a whisker longer for perfect balance, she is very promising. Broad head, wide top, good medium ears with definite strong blue points that match all round, full cheeks tapering to a broad muzzle and firm chin, and neat profile dip. Excellent deep blue eyes, nearly round, looking calm and composed. Top teeth bite at present. Very good body length and overall size, full plumy tail. Excellent silky coat, clear bluish white all over, little ruff just showing, and well groomed. Hint of ghost rings on front legs. Neat gloves, short socks, gauntlets nearly a pair, all sparkling white. Judging her was a pleasure.
AOC SOMALI (ex SILVER) NEUTER
BOB   Watts' CH & GR PR EMANAN BOOTSTRAP BILL 15.7.2005
Blue. I don't think that I have ever met Bootstrap Bill, but 1 can see why he deserved the BOB. The overall impression is that he looks just right for a Somali, and for his colour, warm oatmeal with blue licking. Moderate wedge head, all gentle contours, good width across top, and large ears, pricked and well furnished, blue tips. Full cheeks, muzzle formed with a slight indentation, slight nose break, and firm chin. Just a little white round mouth. Large almond shaped soft green eyes, with spectacles and pencillings, very expressive. Firm body, good length and substantial through the middle, lithe and muscular. Balanced long tail, full and tapering to the blue lip, with spine line to match. Profuse soft fine coat, very good ticking, particularly over the head, warm mushroom under the belly and inside back legs. Blue heels, and mauvish blue nose leather and paw pads If this reads like the SOP, it is because that is how he is. Good grooming and behaviour completed the picture.

AV SLH ADULT MALE
1.    Taylor's CH BRIZLINCOAT ARABIAN NITE 31.5.2007
Sorrel Somali. Another Somali, would you believe, when there are, unfortunately, not many on the show bench at all. They are such attractive cats, and a lot to get right. First impression, strong copper colour, and an excellent chin! good head type, large almond shape hazel eyes in slight oblique set, firm lithe body, and balanced long tail. Excellent body, lithe and muscular, bands of ticking a little vague, but the colours just right - rich apricot base coat under belly and so on, with good cinnamon markings, specially the tail tip and heels, spine line and ear tufts. A very smart young man.
2.   Davies' CARRISMOON JACKFLASH 23.4.2008

Broad head, beautiful transparent blue eyes, very good contrasts, clear pale cream body with slight golden hue over the shoulders, and neat foot markings clearly visible. Beautiful full red brush, Birman glory. Just a little ragged under the turn, otherwise good grooming.

Seal Colourpointed Ragdoll. Handsome and lovely temperament.
X3.   Lynch's CHESAWOOD BURLINGTON BERTIE 15.3.2008

AV SLH RADIUS ADULT
1.   Turner's CAROLMAINE SILVER DOLLAR 14.11.2007
Silver Classic Tabby & White. Fourteen months old, still very much an adolescent, head could be just a little more square and boxy at the muzzle, but very good colouring, absolutely sparkling silvery white base coat, a touch of tarnish on the face, large round deep green eyes in slight oblique set, and sparkling shirt front to match. Despite his youth, very substantial and weighty body, and beautiful long plume of a tail - the classic cat attached to a tail. A real picture in black, white and silver.
AV SLH BREEDERS KITTEN
1.   Mines' STACYM TANTALITE TEMPTRESS 28.7.2008

Firm body, good length, and balanced long tail, tapering to tip. Black spine line and heels, and ear tips. Rich apricot underneath belly and inside legs.. Very good bands of ticking developing. A promising girly.

Red Tabby & White Maine Coon Male. Good head, tall ears with good long tufts. Shallow profile curve though nose a little short overall. Cheeks flat, not filled out yet as he is young, but broad muzzle and firm chin all there.  Large round deep amber eyes in slight oblique set, full of life.  Excellent body length and boning, strong legs and large paws to grow into. Glossy topcoat glowing with condition, full long brush of a tail, clear red classic pattern, snowy white feet, belly and shapely ruff and bib.

3.   Parkes' QUARENTO TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS 18.5.2008
Seal Tortie Point Ragdoll Female. A funny face pattern, really noticeable, and the best tortie colours and leg and tail markings that I have seen for a long time, especially on a kitten. Nicely balanced head, cute medium length retrousse nose, large pale china blue eyes in slight oblique set, broad muzzle of good depth, and firm chin. Long and deep body, very good development for age and sex, and long tail. Very pale cream background coat shows the colours off to best advantage. AND she was purring.
X3.   Jones' GROOVICATS COSMOPOLITAN  11.10.2008
Seal Colourpointed Male. Four months old and very talkative! a real live wire. Good width top of head, excellent deep seal points colour on ears, mask and tail.

beautiful translucent nearly round blue eyes, firm chin. Excellent body and bone, balanced medium length full tail, good points colour all round, definite red. Good foot markings, sparkling white, with long paw tufts. Excellent grooming and temperament.

3.   Bunce's GR PR COONTASTIC NIJINSKY 27.10.2005
Brown Tabby & White Maine Coon Male. Superb ears were his star feature.
The fact that I had to put a Grand Premier in Third place shows the overall quality of the class. All nine exhibits could have taken the win, and it was a difficult but very enjoyable decision to make. I love being given a Senior class to judge, and there is no doubt that 'old ones are usually good ones' which makes the end of the day a pleasure in more ways than one.
AV BIRMAN NEUTER
1.    UK GR PR FORMONA APOLLO 27.4.2001
Seal Point Male. Apart from scallopy gloves which I think look cute anyway, and are cosmetic rather than 'type' he could not be faulted. Head, body and boning, tail a balanced medium length full brush, beautiful deep blue nearly round eyes, all first class. Excellent coat for texture and colour, and perfect contrasts between the very clear pale beige body and deep seal points, demonstrate just how good the original seal can be. Super all over, including grooming and temperament.
2.   Methven's IGR CH NORVIN FARRARO DINO
X2.   Brown's GR CH &. GR PR DALTEEMA DIAMOND DAN
3.   Hough's PR LAVALNA SUNBEAM  1.5.2007
Seal Point Male. A very nice young one. His nearly round deep blue eyes stand out from the seal mask, and wonderful contrasts all round, from very clear pale beige body to deep seal points. Chin a fraction curvy. Faint back shading. Symmetrical foot markings, lovely temperament and grooming.
There were FOUR definite First's in this class, and I hate having to decide in such circumstances. It just speaks for the overall quality of the exhibits on this day. A wonderful ‘afternoon’ end.

Mrs C Leighton

Congratulations to the show management for coping in very difficult conditions today. Awful weather was taking over the country and there were a lot of judges unable to get to the show. There were not as many absentees amongst that cats which was lovely to see and I apologise to exhibitors who found me judging their cats instead of the booked judge. Thanks to Corinne Ash for helping me through the conditions on the roads and handling the cats so well.
PERSIAN NON-SELF CHAMPION, MALE:
GR CH Brittleton’s CH LADYGEM PICASO (12a2) 24.4.07 M.  A super top of head to this attractive young man with very neat well furnished ears and a gentle rounded forehead. Large round eyes of a very good copper colour with a well balanced short broad nose with god break and well defined nostrils. Nicely rounded cheeks and muzzle lines with a good chin and bite. Nice balanced body with short-coupled torso, good muscle tone for his age and lovely short stocky limbs. Excellent preparation to his full flowing silky textured coat which was predominantly a sparkling white with nice split patches of blue on his head and one small area on his torso. Lovely full flowing tail of good length and balance which was a nice matching medium blue colour. Lovely nature and shows well.
RES GR CH Vaughan’s CH TWEENTOWN TALISMAN (7) 19.4.07 M. A very large well grown boy with neat furnished ears and a good top of head. Large round eyes of a yellowy tone today and with a slightly long nose but broad and with a good break and a nice brick leather. Cheeks well filled and a very solid muzzle, a good firm chin and level bite. Very large heavyweight body with excellent muscle tone and substance. Good broad chest and flanks with nice thick-set limbs and large round paws. Not in full coat today and the preparation could maybe have been a little better, but he has a nice pewter silver ground colour with minimal fawning to his face and feet. His black pattern was not at dense as I would have liked but his spine lines were just evident and his oysters reasonably well defined. Nice facial markings and good clear bars to his legs. His nice length tail was showing some complete rings and he showed himself well.   
 PERSIAN NON-SELF GRAND CHAMPION, FEMALE:
Gr Ch & Res Gr Ch withheld 1 Danks’ CH TAMOSAH CHARDONNAY (10) 4.8.04 F.  A small compact girl with neat well set ears with attractive furnishings. Large round eyes of an excellent emerald green colour which were nicely outlined with black mascara. Good short nose with good break and brick leather. Cheeks quite well filled but she lacks muzzle strength and her chin is very weak which makes her appear very shallow and unbalanced. Small rather dainty body for her age but of good weight overall. Fine limbs and neat rounded paws. Quite well prepared good length coat of a nice silky texture which had a good clear white chest and underside and was showing very light though even black tipping on her torso. Good short tail which was quite well covered and also showed black tipping. I was sorry to withhold but her unbalanced head type and petite size really worked against her today.    
2 Harley’s CH BLANFORD BAM BIBI (12 2od) 24.10.04 F. Another girl who should be fully mature and at her peak now. Today she was lacking in size and substance overall and needed more bulk generally. A little plain in type but with a nicely rounded head and neat well furnished ears. Rounded forehead with large round eyes of good contrasting colours one being a pale blue and other a nice copper shade. Good short nose with just sufficient break and quite well rounded cheeks and muzzle with a nice chin and good bite. Rather a small dainty body but hopefully it is seasonal as she was obviously our of condition today and I gather later that she had been ‘calling’ for some time. Predominantly white with two nice patches of colour on her head, one of a palish cream and the other a pale blue. Her white torso colour was not sparkling white today and she has some fawning on her front legs. Her tail was quite well covered and did show both patches of blue and cream. Nice temperament but far from her best today.   
ORIENTAL GRAND CHAMPION, MALE:
IMP GR CH Haggar’s GR CH SUSPIRIA SIMPLY SOLARUS (37r) 21.4.07 M. A stylish very friendly boy with an extrovert personality and good looks overall. Lovely large well set flared ears with good width between them. Oriental shape and set to eyes of an excellent vibrant green colour. Good straight nose in profile and lovely balanced wedge with good muzzle and chin and a nice level bite. Long tubular elegant body with lovely muscle tone well developed and a graceful neck and lovely tall standing limbs. Hid coat was a little out of condition along his back today where is was a little greasy and open but apart from this area he was in lovely condition and showed a nice rosy mushroom shade of fawn and was reasonably sound throughout. Good long tapering tail and real show man!  
 PERSIAN BI-COLOUR KITTEN, MALE:
1 BOB Higgins’ ALINDAS BAM BAM (12a1) 6.6.08 M. A lovely ‘crisp’ looking boy who was well grown and of nice substance overall. Lovely rounded head with neat well furnished ears and a good top of head. His eyes are not completely round but of a lovely deep copper colour and he has a good broad short nose with good break and well defined leather. Nice rounded cheeks and good muzzle lines with a nice firm chin and lovely level bite. Nice solid cobby body of very good weight and size with deep chest and flanks and lovely short stocky limbs. Predominantly white which was very well prepared and sparkled today and he has split back patches of colour of the top of his head and a small area of black on his back legs. Nice length full covered tail which was a good dense black. Lovely nature and shows himself well.
2 Thorburn’s ALINDAS FRED FLINTSTONE (12a7) 24.10.08 M. A very sweet baby only just old enough to be here today. It was a very good experience for him and he has some very good looks developing well. His type is coming on well and he has neat furnished ears and a good top of head. Expressive rounded eyes developing to a good deep colour very well. Good short broad nose with good break and cheeks beginning to fill out nicely. Nice chin and good level bite. Obviously his body is still very small but compact, and he needs to develop in substance and muscle strength generally. Still with a very fine kitten-like coat but it was well prepared. He was predominantly white with slightly hot shades of cream patches on his head and one small patch on his body. Good short tail with rounded tip that needed more covering for perfection but was a matching slightly hot shade of cream. Very friendly and handled his first show very well.
PERSIAN BI-COLOUR KITTEN, FEMALE:
1 Prior’s GEMKIN CRÈME DELACREME (12a7) 11.8.08 F. A large well built girl with lovely top of head with nicely furnished rounded ears and large round deep copper eyes. Neat short broad nose with sufficient break and a nice open expression to her face. Cheeks well filled and nice rounded muzzle with a good chin and good bite. Nice heavyweight body for a youngster with short-coupled torso and good thick-set limbs.

Nice length matching cream tail with very slight ghost rings. Very nice nature and handled well.  
BRITISH SILVER TABBY ADULT, MALE:
1 CC withheld Knapp’s CH KERNMERE JUSTJOEY (16.2.05) M. A rather small boy for his 4 years and also rather feminine in appearance today. Well rounded head but lacks the maturity one expects of an entire male working boy. Well set medium ears with nice round eyes of an excellent green colour. Good short straight nose and attractive brick leather. Cheeks could be fuller and show more maturity generally as could muzzle and chin. Nice level bite. Body lacks muscle tone at present and he does need more bulk and substance generally. Nice length and texture to his coat with a pale pewter silver ground colour and well placed classic tabby pattern. The density is lacking today and it was a little open and shows some scurf in places. Nice facial markings and good clear leg bars with some complete rings to his good length tail. Just not his time of year I feel.

BRITISH SILVER TABBY ADULT, FEMALE:
1 CC BOB Bujalska-Axon’s SARGENTA SILVER YOELLA (31.7.07) F.  An expressive look to this attractive young lady with nicely rounded head and neat well set rounded ears.

Nice length rounded tail with complete rings. Very well presented and handled well.

Cheeks well filled and with good strong muzzle lines, a nice chin and good level bite.

Nice mushroom beige ground colour and medium blue pattern. Spine line a little solid but with nice facial markings and good leg bars. Nice length multi-ringed tail and very friendly nature.

Nice muzzle lines and with a good chin and bite. Long tubular elegant body with graceful neck and tall standing dainty limbs.  And of a medium blue colour.

Nice cheeks but with rather a narrow bite for perfection. Body and limbs well developed for her age and her coat was of varying lengths and not very well prepared today.

1 Humphries CAKIES COTTON CANDY (21c) 20.4.08 F. Only just an adult and type coming well though she could benefit from fuller cheeks and a stronger muzzle as yet. Large round eyes of a very good deep golden colour and a nice balanced body which is proportionate with her age. Nice thick plushy coat which was a little out of sorts today butt was well mingled in shades of slightly cold lilac and hottish cream.

ORIENTAL WITH 1 OR MORE CC:
1 Davies’ SATIVA KELSEY BLACK (37) 4.9.06 F.  Not a youngster but with rather unbalanced type today. Reasonably well flared ears with nice oriental eyes of a good green colour. Good straight nose in profile but with rather a narrow muzzle and a definite pinch today. Tubular body and tall standing dainty limbs. Her coat is a little long but of a fine texture and a good dense glossy black throughout.

1 Armitage’s CH CHAPELROSE OHMEOHMY (37a) 13.11.07 M. A nice mature elegant boy with lovely large well flared ears with expressive clear green oriental eyes.

2 Rice’s SEIDO SULTRESS OF SWING (37) 13.4.08 F. Looking a little unbalanced today and does have an overshot scissor bite. Lovely long tubular body with tall dainty limbs and a very nice length and texture to her coat of a glossy black which was let down today by being rather scurfy in places.
ORIENTAL NON-SELF ADULT:
1 Haggar’s SOLARUS FUNNY HONEY (37y) 21.3.08 F. Only just an adult and very promising for type and substance. Very nice coat for length and texture and showing a very nice warm rosy mushroom tortie pattern mingled with shades of cream. Her problem today is that she is still showing very heavy bars to her flanks and legs which hopefully will clear as she matures more.
ORIENTAL MAIDEN KITTEN:
1 Davies’ CHEZS ERAGON OF WICCANWAYS (48b) 16.9.08 M. Super expressive eyes to this very young man. Quite a lot of colour invasion still evident between the white and chocolate to his torso but with an attractive blaze to his head and a nice clear white stripe to the length of his underside.

Nice wedge head and good clear green eyes with well flared ears and a good straight nose. Very solid body which was tubular but with too much muscle and strength for his breed. Thick straight limbs and a good length tapered tail. Nice rich cinnamon colour to his slightly long coat which was reasonably sound today.
2 Lord’s DRUIDSWAY BLACK PANTHER (37) 7.5.08 MN. A very young boy who is very nice apart from the fact that he needs more strength and length to his muzzle which is short and somewhat unbalanced today.
ORIENTAL RED, CREAM OR CINNAMON NEUTER:

Mrs A Lyall

Thanks to Janet & team for the invitation – in spite of some very difficult weather preceding the show, there were suprisingly few empty pens, showing that it takes more that a few snowdrifts to deter exhibitors from enjoying their hobby. My steward was Lindsey Grant & we had a great day together – I can’t thank you enough, Lindsay, I am most appreciative of you fighting through the ice & snow to be with me.

OPEN CLASSES.

Two beautiful girls, who both deserved the certificate – I really was splitting hairs.

Slim elegant limbs with neat tufted feet, lithe & muscular body & balanced length of brush. Rich apricot undercoat, showing excellent contrast with the strong black ticking, spine line & tail tip. Full black heels & strong facial pencillings. For me, she was fractionally preferable because the ticking was more contrasted & she had a really smiling expression.

Large ears, well set & furnished, obliquely set almond shaped eyes with a rather level upper aperture, good nose break, level bite & firm chin, gentle contours to the head with pleasing breadth at the cheeks, muzzle a fraction narrow.

Mrs B Webb

My thanks to Janet and the Committee for inviting me to judge at this lovely show, to Liz Prescott for her stewarding and great company and especially to Jill and Mick Coomer for their kind hospitality, wonderful meals and facilitating my shopping spree. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for braving the snow to come to the show.

OPEN CLASSES:
AC BURMESE CHAMPION FEMALE:  Life was made very difficult for me judging between these two lovely girls!
GCC: HUTCHISON’S GR CH IRREP AMONDI (27e).  A lovely girl with a typical Burmese expression.  Rounded dome between ears of good shape that are well spaced and set.  Eyes are large and lustrous, of good shape and set.  Pale chartreuse green in hue.  Short wedge with good width at jaw.  In profile she has a rounded brow with a good nose break, straight short nose and chin of medium depth.  Level bite. The body is firm with a broad chest and the tail is of correct length for balance.  Limbs and oval shaped paws are in proportion.  Coat is of medium length, satin like and gleaming in a mixture of rich brown, red and cream.  Shown in excellent condition.
RGCC: STEPHENS’ GR CH MILLGILL THEATRICS (27j).  Another lovely girl with a typical Burmese expression and a wonderful temperament. Rounded dome between ears of good shape, well spaced and set.  Eyes are large and lustrous, of good shape and set.  Pale chartreuse green in hue.  Short wedge with good width at jaw.  In profile she has a rounded brow with a good nose break, straight short nose and chin of medium depth.  Level bite.  The body is firm with a broad chest and the tail is of correct length for balance.  Limbs and oval shaped paws are in proportion.  Coat is quite long, satin like and gleaming in a mixture of lilac and cream.  Shown in excellent condition and purred non-stop.
DEVON REX KITTEN:
1 & BOB: WILSON’S KALTES HONKYTONK ANGEL (33a36e) F Age 5mths 2 wks .  A sweet girl with a very nice personality and a ‘pixie’ like expression.  The head has a short broad wedge with high cheek bones.  Ears are large and wide at the base with rounded tips that have small tufts.  There is a reasonable width between them but a shade more width would be desirable.  There are ear muffs at the base.  Eyes are large and fullsome, slightly slanted upward and outward toward the outer edge of the ears.  They are pale green in hue.  There is a reasonably definite nose stop.  Chin is shallow and the muzzle could be a bit shorter.  Bite is level.  The brow curves back to a flat skull giving an overall appearance of being wedge-shaped.  The cheek bones are wide.  The eyebrows and whiskers are coarse, short and crinkly.  She has a slender neck, broad chest and a long straight back.  The tail is long and tapering and there are some guard hairs from the base to a mid-point but it is quite well covered in fur.  There is a peach-like down on the underside of the abdomen.The coat is short, soft and dense in texture and well-rippled on the back, head and neck but sparse in places on the shoulders and flanks.  The rear limbs are longer than the front limbs, they are slim and together with the paws proportionate to her size.  She was obviously starting to call.
2: TAMS POOLSIDE TANTALISING TORTIE (33a28) F  Age (20 wks). A dear little girl with a lovely personality but doesn’t yet have the overall ‘pixie’ face of a typical Devon Rex. The head has a short broad wedge with high cheek bones.  The ears are not really broad enough at the base, nor are they set low enough so distracts from her appearance.  The ears have rounded tips with tiny tufts but need to be larger at the base..  No ear muffs.  The eyes slant upwards and outwards towards the lower aspect of the ears but need to be more full on the lower rims.  They are pale green in hue.  The brow curves back to a flat skull. In profile the nose stop is a little sloping and there is a bump on her nose.  The chin is shallow and recedes a little.  Bite is level.  Neck is slender and the body is long and straight.  Tail is a little short for balance, tapers and has a tiny tuft at the tip.  It is well covered in fur. The coat is loosely rippled and waved, soft in texture. There is a peach-like down on the underside of the abdomen. The rear limbs are highter than the front and together with the dainty paws are proportional to her size.
CHOCOLATE BURMESE KITTEN – MALE:
1 & BOB: SOMERFIELD’S KATZKADE SARACEN (27b) (age 8mths 3wks).  A sturdy lad of good size and weight for his age.

The body is firm with a broad chest and the tail is a little short for balance.  Limbs and spoon shaped paws are in proportion.  Coat is short and of good texture, Even and of warm chocolate hue it has good contrast.
CHOCOLATE BURMESE KITTEN - FEMALE:
1 WILSON’S MAHARANI VANITY FAIR (27b) (6mths 1wk).  A muscular girl with a lovely temperament. Rounded dome between ears that need to be a bit larger but are well spaced and set.  Eyes are large and lustrous, of good shape and set.  Yellow chartreuse in hue.  Short wedge with good width at jaw.  In profile she has a rounded brow with a good nose break, nose which rolls off and has a slight bump on it and chin of shallow depth.  Level bite.  Her body is firm with a broad chest and the tail is short for balance.  Limbs and oval shaped paws are in proportion.  Coat is of medium length, satin like and gleaming and of a very pale chocolate hue with darker contrast.
