Mrs D Brown

My thanks to Lillian & Harry or the judging invitation again this year. It is always a nice relaxed show with some very good cats to judge. I am grateful to Linda Dinsdale for stepping in as my steward at the last minute, she did an excellent job and I hope she will steward for me again sometime.

OPEN CLASSES

Siamese or Balinese Champion Male
1st GD CC w/h – Morgan’s CH ASTRALBLAESE PEGASUS (24c) 28/05/08. This chap is very endearing, his type is good but he has one or two problems that for me precluded the higher certificate today. Good head with adequate top line and large ears well set.  Good eye shape but held rather full and he had a very definite squint today, colour bright mid blue. Good profile and chin with slightly untidy but level bite.  Long very well muscled body, long strong limbs, tail almost balances but showing some stud tail today. Points colour, though quite pale, is on the blue side of lilac with no pinkish tone evident today. Virtually un-shaded magnolia coat with texture a touch too fine to lie really close. The dearest boy to handle and excellently presented.

2nd – Esterford-Howard’s  CH MAPU KOFI (32/1) 27/05/08. Good type and style to this lad, but for me he is too effeminate looking at present. Head stylish with very good top line and large wide based ears very well set, but lacking the strength I like to see in a male. Oval shape to eyes and rather straight set, colour bright blue, expression a touch innocent as yet. Good profile and chin, bite sore & very untidy for a youngster with several incisors missing already. Deceptively weighty and really well muscled body of very good length, long limbs and spoon paws, tail just about balances. Very dark seal tabby markings with slightly blurred scarab and single ribbons, paler bracelets and well ringed tail. Good close texture to short coat, lightly shaded overall to tone. Presentation good apart from his chin that needs some attention. Excellent temperament.

Siamese or Balinese Champion Female
GD CC – Pounds’ CH JOMESE JENNY MANYDOTS (32b1) 03/08/07. A very stylish and well balanced lady. Super head with wide top line and very large flared ears set wide.  Oriental shape to eyes, a little straight set, colour mid blue with just a hint of a “look” today.  Straight profile and deep chin perpendicular to nose tip, level bite. Well defined neck and long elegant but firm and well muscled body, long slender limbs and neat paws, whip tail to balance. Very dark seal tortie points beautifully mingled in various shades of red. Super coat for length and texture, lightly shaded overall to tone. Rather snippy today – coming into call perhaps? Beautifully presented in a snug nest.

R – Morgan’s GD CH ASTRALBLAESE ANDROMEDA (24n) 21/11/04. An attractive lady for both type and colour. Head type good with very good top line and large well flared ears very well set. Good eye shape and set albeit held a touch wide today but colour  good with brilliance of tone.  Tiny dip to nose, firm chin, bite scissored over. Long elegant body with very good substance and tone,  long slender limbs, whip tail needs an inch to balance. Lilac-based caramel points colour very good now, she has taken her time to develop – I seem to remember she was rather indeterminate as a youngster, but now shows very good dingy over tones. Almost un-shaded off white coat, length good, texture perhaps a touch too fine today. A very poised mature lady who handled beautifully. Excellently presented. 

Cinnamon Point Male Neuter
PC & BOB – Mackenzie-Sproat’s ADATEAM CINNPHONY CHESTER  21/06/07. A very stylish boy of excellent type. Super head with wide top line and large beautifully set ears.  Very good shape and set to eyes of bright mid blue colour.  Very good profile and chin with level bite.  Long neck and body the latter slender but firm toned and quite weighty, long slender limbs and neat spoon paws, good tail.  Super rich warm cinnamon points almost matching in tone density on all points. Creamy ivory coat that was virtually un-shaded, length and texture excellent, short sleek and close lying. A lovely boy to handle and excellently presented.

Apricot Point Male Adult
CC – Mullen’s FOXYPAW ERICSSON 01/06/08. This  boy has very good size and substance for  youngster, he has come on really well since our last meeting. Stylish head with very good top line, ears large flared and very well set. Eyes shape good albeit a touch deep and straight set, colour good.  Good profile, chin slopes back somewhat and the bite is marginally over. Lovely long well muscled body, long elegant limbs, tapered tail almost balances. Apricot points good, tail a touch hotter. Super texture to short close coat, shaded overall to tone.  Handled well and was immaculately presented.

Apricot Point Female Adult
CC & BOB – Davies’ BETHANJO WALKINONSUNSHINE 12/05/08. Dainty young miss of very good type. Medium length wedge with very good top of head and large wide based ears set to balance. Oriental eye shape and set with mid blue colour. Good profile and chin, bite marginally over. Long svelte body with weight in keeping with size, dainty limbs and neat paws, whip tail to balance. Excellent points colour, hot and slightly dingy toned, very well developed for a young cat, and I was this that won her the BOB today. Almost clear coat with the slightest of pale apricot shading, length and texture very good. Excellent temperament and beautifully presented.

MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES
Seal Point Siamese Breeders Adult
1st – Simpson’s SHERMESE PRIME SUSPECT (24) M 10/09/08. Only just adult, but a good sized boy for his age, type very good. He tends to hold his eyes a little wide but then he was rather nervous, colour good. What I did like was his points colour, apart from slight brindling to the mask he is a good warm seal – not always seen these days.

2nd – Morgan’s ASTRALBLAESE AKHENATEN (24) M 11/05/08. Older than the winner but considerably smaller, he has a stylish head with very wide top line but it is a feminine head at present. Eyes oval rather then oriental in shape and he has a tendency to squint, colour very good, but expression not helped by his being very nervous. Points colour on the black side of seal.

Maiden Adult Female
1st – Newson’s MAFDET FANCY NANCY (24b) F 08/06/08. A neat and dainty little queen who was quite stylish. Points colour rather dark but there is reasonable degree of warmth evident. Eye colour very good. A sweet lady.

Tabby Point Siamese Breeders Kitten
1st – Hirst’s TOGHAR BYDESIGN  (32/3) M 12/10/08. Excellent size and strength to this lad, almost adult and looking it. He has a longer wedge but the top of head is very good and he has the ear size to almost balance. Good tabby markings in warm mid chocolate and matching.  He is in excellent condition and has a temperament to die for – he brings  whole new meaning to the word  - relaxed.

2nd – Simpson’s SHERMESE SHENNANIGANS (32/1) M 10/03/09. A very promising little boy, just beaten today by the more finished article, but if he grows on well he will be hard to beat I think. Super stylish little head with fairly large fly away ears,  he has such a super expression for a baby and excellent depth of colour.  Pity he is bilaterally cryptorchid. I shall watch his progress with interest.

3rd – Cowling’s ANDALYN CHARISMA (32/1) F 18/10/08.  Stylish girl who could now perhaps be a touch bigger for her age. She has a lovely strong head with a wide top line and very large well set ears. Eye shape wide and the colour did not look so good today.  Very shy.

Limit Kitten Female
1st – Richards’ DEBIKAT MAYZI-FANTAZEE (24n) F 28/02/09. Typy little babe, promising. She was changed from lilac to caramel in by judges book and I can see why, because although her points are quite pale, they do appear to have a fudgy overtone, the coat colour is also more in keeping with caramel, it will be interesting to see how she develops. Lovely eye colour. A sweet babe.

Junior Neuter
1st – Copeland’s GD PR FLOWERDEW GTX PECTATIONS (24) MN02/02/08. Extremely stylish seal point neuter boy. He is not without his little problems – his eye colour could be deeper for a seal and his points colouring could be a touch warmer, but over all he is a very handsome lad indeed, and he shows himself off with great style.

2nd – Kersey’s PR MALIKASIAM WILBUR-MEWZED (24c) MN 06/09/07. A typical softie neuter boy, he has such a gentle expression. Points colour looked a touch dark today but does have the correct  tone. Lovely eye colour, really brilliant sapphire  blue. Super to handle as always.

Thanks firstly to Harry and Lilian for inviting me to the warm and friendly show, I enjoyed my day hugely and was thoroughly pleased and honoured at the entry. I was ably assisted by my good friend Sarah and thank her for travelling especially to steward for me.
Seal Point Siamese Kittens
Male Kitten (Under 6 Months)
What a Class, 7 Very Attractive babies and I really had to nit pick between them, I was glad to be able to speak with most of the owners afterwards as I was really privileged to handle them all.
1st Simpson's Shermese Fabulous Faberge (24) M 10.02.09
Very Attractive Youngster of extremely well balanced type huge well set ears with very wide top and excellent flare, I would prefer the ears slightly wider at base, Medium wedge with broad top and well balanced muzzle showing a very slight kitten pinch, firm chin and level bite. Nice straight profile. Showing good depth of skull, eyes of gorgeous oriental shape and set and of a good blue. Long elegant body - not overlarge for his age but developing well. He has long very elegant limbs and large paws to grow into. He was also beautifully composed and overall very stylish; he also has the most lovely warm seal brown points with very good warm cream coat that was clearing from the muddy baby coat one expects. Very long whip tail to balance. A very attractive young man who shows promise.
2nd Matthews/Pugh's Bernbecks Masterpiece (24) M 10.03.09
Just old enough to be shown but a beautiful stylish baby with huge jug handle ears and very wide at base, dark blue eyes of super expression and shape (his haws were up slightly in the morning) they had gone down later on in the day. Well grown and well developed body covered with promising looking muddy fawn baby coat but showing a good amount of warmth. Dark seal brown warm points looking dense with good stockings developing also. Long whip tail to balance. His profile at this stage shows a bump over the eyes with a dip on the nose with a fairly shallow chin, his bite was also overshot marginally and in a class of very strong quality it was this factor that dropped him to 2nd place. In time this will no doubt change as he develops but on the day I could not overlook this in a class this closely contested.
3rd Mackenzie-Wood's Merescliff Rosseyn (24) M 08.02.09
A Rather shy boy but oh so stylish with a gorgeous look and lovely head strength. Strong little head with lovely depth, Romanesque profile with deep chin and cute little beard, level bite.Huge flared ears with very good width and lovely depth at base. Lovely eye shape when he relaxed after a cuddle. Sadly the colour was too pale for the standard and in a class of this quality it meant him being placed lower because of this. He also had a cool toned seal brown points and rather a cold coat colour which made him look rather black and white! He was a lovely size for his age and lovely strong but elegant boning with long whip tail to balance. He did settle after a cuddle and really needs more self confidence but he looks very stylish indeed! Just a pity about the eye colour.

4th Skivington's Meilland Mister Finley (24) M 02/03/09
Another stylish boy who was a little out of kilter today and had niggley little faults that added up for me. Medium wedge with teething pinch at present, almost straight profile with slight depression above the eyes. The eyes were slightly rounded in shape when out of the pen but relaxed them when in, they for me were slightly dull in colour and could be a deeper shade of blue for a seal. He did have a slight squint in his right eye. Long body with good development for his age with long legs and big paws. His colour was a warm seal brown with a short coat that was clearing well and promises to be good when he is older! Long whip tail to balance. He was beautifully presented in lovely condition.
Seal point Male Kitten (6-9 Months)
1st BOB Lodwig's Mafdet Mafioso (24) MN 04/10/08
Handsome Boy looking like the finished article today. Excellent type with strong medium wedge and a lovely strong leonine look. Large well set and flared ears with good width at base, strong roman profile with firm chin and level bite. Inscrutable expression with lovely eye shape and dark blue eyes that were a smidge paler towards the outer rim. Long muscular body with rather a large midriff developing. Warm fawn coat of lovely texture and a light touch of shading over the lower back. Lovely seal stockings. He posed beautifully and has such a laid back nature. Well Done
Seal Point Female Kitten (Under 6 months)
1st Simpson's Shermese Truly Devine (24) F 10/03/09
Very pretty young miss and quite stylish with an attractive look. Shorter medium wedge with large well set and flared ears, eyes of good oriental shape and nice dark blue colour. Almost straight profile firm chin and level bite, well developed body for age with a lovely short close coat on this baby and the coat was a warm cream matching her warm seal brown points. Dainty limbs and tiny paws. Very pretty lady beautifully presented
Seal Point Female Kitten (6-9 Months)
1st Roberts Strober Minim (24) F 14/10/08
Nervous young lady of good type at rather an awkward stage and needing to pull together, Medium wedge rather fine in the muzzle with good top and large ears that she held well when she relaxed. She needed for me a bit more ear flare for me. Straight profile and firm chin with level bite. Needing more depth to her skull, her eyes where rather full and no matter how much I tried to get her to relax they stayed full. They were of a bright blue colour and required to be a smidge deeper. She had lovely points and coat colour with excellent warmth to her seal brown points and lovely warm fawn coat that was slightly long but of an excellent texture, lovely seal stockings. Long body that was well developed and long whip tail and long elegant limbs.
Chocolate Point Female Kitten
1st/BOB W/H
2nd Robert's Strober Silkith (24B) F 14/10/08
Sweet lady of average type looking at an in between stage at present, first impressions was of large round eyes that need to be much deeper in colour. Shorter broad wedge requiring more width at top. Slightly blunt muzzle with firm chin and level bite, almost straight profile. Shorter medium length body with long legs and dainty paws (needs her claws clipping), slightly short thick tail that needs an inch for balance. Her points were a good warm chocolate that was fairly well developed and all well matched.
Red Point Kitten Male (6-9 Months)
1st BOB Smith's Toghar Red Adaire (32A) 11.12.08
Huge well grown boy of very good type, Very large flared well set ears with a longer wedge head almost straight profile level bite and firm chin. He has slightly deep set eyes although they were of good oriental shape and good blue colour they just needed to be a smidge larger for facial balance. Long whip tail to balance. Dainty elegant limbs and large paws to grow into. Visible M and Tail rings with points in a vibrant rich red all well matched and developing well. Lovely out going temperament and beautifully presented.
Red Point Under 6 Months Female Kitten
1st Davies Johpas Ruby Tallulah (32A) 12/02/09
Judged recently and my points remain almost unchanged. Very pretty lady of very good overall type still very much a baby compared to her competitor. Excellent expression with oriental eyes of very good shape and colour, shorter medium wedge set with very large flared ears and wide top. Elegant body with whip tail to balance, elegant limbs and tiny paws. Slight dip in profile as yet. Red points developing well and fairly well matched and set in a paler red (probably seal based). Attractive miss, presented beautifully.

Breed 24 Non Breeders Adult
1st Newsons Mafdet Fancy Nancy (24B) 08/06/08
Very pretty lady and quite stylish, lovely eye colour of excellent shape, very large well set ears of good shape and wide top. Medium wedge almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Long firm muscular body with whip tail and elegant limbs and tiny paws. She has a lovely attitude, very full of herself. Gorgeous smooth clear coat of excellent texture.

Novice Female Adult
1st Newsons Mafdet Fancy Nancy (24B) 08/06/08

Visitors Adult
1st Newsons Mafdet Fancy Nancy (24B) 08/06/08
2nd Mullen's Foxypaws Ericsson (32FN) 01/06/08
Stylish Boy of very good type, for me he was a bit too straight in the eyes and it detracted slightly from his overall expression and looked slightly untypical, they were of an excellent blue, he was in absolutely spotless condition for a stud boy. Large muscular elegant body with excellent tone and a coat that was close and smooth and fitted him like a glove that was short silky. Longer wedge with large well set ears with good top, almost straight profile with firm chin and scissor over bite. Apricot points well matched in a hot dusky tone with visible underlying tabby markings.
3rd Duncan's UK Gr Ch Brythais Lilyput (24c) 17/06/03
Pretty lady of good type looking very feminine, and in super condition. Medium wedge with slight dip to profile, firm chin and level bite, large ears that could ideally have more width at top, eyes of good shape and set. Elegant limbs and long slightly plump body. Slightly long coat that was lightly shaded in tone and smooth lying. Presented in lovely condition.
4th Morgan's CH Astralblaese Pegasus (24C) 28/05/08
Huge gentleman of good type somewhat dominated by large round eyes that could be darker in colour . He does have the most wonderful temperament and was presented in lovely condition. Medium wedge head with large ears fairly well set, straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Lightly shaded coat that was a smidge dry to the touch. His points were of a dark lilac and were lacking in any desired pinkish tones, however they were very well matched.

Mrs N Farnsworth

Many thanks for the invitation to judge at this impeccably managed show, one expects nothing less with Lilian and Harry at the controls.  My steward was Joan Pounds who was her usual calm, competent  self which was much appreciated; the excellent company was a bonus.  Many thanks to Mavis and her team for the excellent lunch.

BLUE POINT MALE KITTEN 6-9 months:
W/C FAIRCLOUGH’S BRYTHAIS HARITH  (MN) 13.10.08  A well grown kitten of very good type.  Sadly, to my eye his colour is definitely blue based caramel which denied him the first prize he deserved.  Head of very good balance with excellent top of head and large ears.  Almost straight profile, level bite and firm chin.  Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour.  Long, well muscled body with slim legs and long whip tail.  Slight shading on a short, close lying coat.
2.MASON’S GENETTA BILLYBOY  23.10.08  A kitten of  correct blue colour who, unfortunately, had a protruding sternum evident on the day.  Hopefully this may improve as his body grows more muscle.  Balanced wedge with small pinch to muzzle.  Almost straight profile, level bite and good chin.  Good top of head and large, well placed ears.  Slightly full eyes of good basic shape and set with clear mid blue colour.  Body of good weight and type with slender legs and whip tail.  Very good blue points and a white coat of excellent length and texture.

BLUE POINT FEMALE KITTEN under 6 months:
W/C SIMPSON’S SHERMESE CHERRY BLOSSOM  10.12.09  I debated long and hard whether to wrong colour this kitten or not.  On the one hand it was very young but on the other the colour was not good.  The points were a gun metal blue and there was extensive fawn shading on the coat.  Very good type overall with excellent top of head and large widespread ears.  Straight nose, slightly raised between the eyes. Level bite and good chin.  Oriental eye shape and set with clear blue colour which could be a tad deeper for perfection.  Fragile neckline and long svelte body with dainty legs and long whip tail.  Slightly long kitten coat of excellent texture.  Promising kitten whatever the colour.

LILAC POINT  MALE ADULT:
1.CC.W/H.MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE PEGASUS  28.5.08  Young male of excellent growth.  Good length wedge with balancing  width between ears which need to be larger and which he held a fraction high.   Straight profile, level bite and good chin.  Eyes of good basic shape and set which he opened wide on occasion.  Strong neckline and long, muscular body of good type with strong legs and good length tail.  Excellent lilac points colour and a coat of excellent length and texture and clear magnolia colour.  Shown in excellent condition with an excellent temperament.

LILAC POINT FEMALE ADULT:
BOB.DUNCAN’S UK.GR.CH.BRYTHAIS LILYPUT  17.6.03  A mature queen shown in sparkling condition.  Very feminine with an excellent top of head and large well placed ears.  Straight profile, some teeth missing but bite appears to be level and good chin.  Oriental eye shape and set with clear, bright blue colour.  Elegant neckline and body type with slender legs and long whip tail.  Good lilac points colour and a virtually clear magnolia coat which was short, smooth and close lying.  A credit to the owner.

RED POINT MALE NEUTER:
1.PC.BOB. EMMENS’ PR.CHIARIKKI TRIBAL WARRIOR  10.5.05  Good to see this stylish boy back on the show bench.  Excellent type and growth with a good length head and balancing width between large ears.  Straight profile, level bite and good chin.  Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour and glowering expression.  Well defined neckline and long muscular body of stylish type with slim legs and long whip tail.  Bright red points and a clear coat of excellent length and texture.  Not exactly full of the joys of spring!

APRICOT POINT MALE NEUTER:
1.PC.BOB. AGGETT’S AMYDAY SOLAR LIGHT  21.8.06  The epitome of style and type.  Beautifully poised demeanour with a good length head and excellent width between large ears.  Excellent profile, some teeth missing but bite appears to be level and firm chin.  Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour and superior expression.   Regal head carriage and long, muscular body of stylish type with slim legs and very long whip tail.  Good apricot points colour and slight shading on a coat of excellent length and texture.

BREED 24 SIAMESE/BALINESE KITTEN:
A class of quality kittens which was a pleasure to judge, the second and third having just a whisker between them.

Mr J Hansson

This is a combined show which has now been running together extremely well for quite a few years, long may it continue to do so as I think it is advantageous for both exhibitors & visitors to see beautiful examples of related breeds. To the team representing the Oriental Cat Association of Jane, Irene & Caroleen my appreciation for the invitation yet again.

Foreign White Kitten;
BOB Not Awarded. ABBOTT'S 1st TILDEN WHISPERINGCHENAZZ.
21-09-08. Generally pleasing but somewhat small for a day off being adult, her size more appropriate to 6-7 months. Good length if slightly narrow wedge, very good profile, chin quite good, bite okay. Ears are large but she tends to prick these a little high & they would benefit with a little more flare to their base. Eyes have a good albeit marginally fuller shape, clear bright blue, the colour just requiring a little more intensity ideally. Body as stated very small but her weight in relation to her size is good, bust is going to require a growth spurt to compete as an adult, slender limbs, small neat paws, tail requires a little more length to balance. Coat reasonably short & close lying, very good texture. Clean white coat, inner ears, eye rims & nose leather could be a little pinker. Her temperament was excellent, condition sound.

Oriental Tortie Neuter;
1st & PC BAXTER'S SOLARUS AL THAT JAZZ. 37y. 21-03-08. Fawn, well grown but still looking a little juvenile in head type. Broad wedge tending to puff her whisker pads, making her appear a little pinched, very good profile with the exception of a minimal nose bump, strong chin & good bite. Ears large, slightly pricked forward, but set well apart, good width to their base. The eyes are a little wide yet still retaining a good oriental setting, good green colour. Very firm well proportioned body, with good legs & paws, the tail moderately fine but requires a touch more length. Excellent quality coat, it was tight fitting & close, excellent sleek well prepared texture, glossy sheen. Well mingled & patched in a warm fawn base colour with shades of mainly warmer cream. Her condition excellent, very gentle nature.
Considered for & Awarded BOB. LEE'S CH & IMP GR PR WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD. 37p. 27-05-06. Caramel, quality exhibit who exudes a bit of class & style when she is relaxed in her pen. Lovely even lines to her wedge, very good profile, lost a tooth but the bite otherwise good. Excellent ears, being large & beautifully set, wide flared base complementing her head, set wide & low in a fixed position. Eyes of excellent oriental shape & slant, slightly paler shade, but green nevertheless. Elegant neck, body lithe & taut, well toned, very good length, slim legs, neat dainty paws, fine whip like tail. Close lying length of good shorter length, well prepared, very good texture. Sludgy taupe base colour with shades of varying apricot present, some paler areas on her throat. Her condition & presentation were both excellent, in one her 'I'm not too keen on being taken out of my pen' moods today, despite which she is a very easy lady to assess. Later Best In Show Female Neuter.

Oriental Bi-Colour Neuter, Male;
1st IC & BOB. SOUTHALL'S SENSAY SQUADRON LEADER. 48 40. 26-06-07. Seal Pointed, beautifully grown youngster who is let down a little by his ear set. Longer length wedge which appears quite pinched but this due to his facial markings where the white runs through his mask, ideally his head requires a little more depth to give a more masculine look, very good profile, chin could be a little deeper, marginal over bite. Ears large but requiring a little more width at the base, which he pricks a little high & the effect of tilting them forward detracts. Eye colour though a bright clear blue could be a little more intense, I suspect these are influenced by the white, a pleasing oriental shape if a tad straight in set. Good length of both neck & body, showing well muscled development, slender limbs, oval paws, tail of good length with very slight suspect tip (nothing definite). His coat I would prefer shorter but it was well prepared despite a slightly harsher area along the back towards the base of his tail. Good amount of white & well over the minimum third required with irregular shaped white blaze, white running up to both ear tips, white through throat, chest, tummy & legs, with seal patches on all points & fully seal coloured tail, body has some tonal beige shading with white flash on his back, a bit of scattering of white here & there. Condition & temperament both excellent.

Oriental Bi-Colour Neuter, Female;
1st & IC DINSDALE'S APPLEJACK VANILLA-SKY. 48b. 26-05-07. Chocolate, very reserved firm well developed girl (just a little on the over indulgent side). Medium length wedge puffing her pads due to nerves & exacerbating the muzzle pinch a little, the profile undulating a little, good chin, bite a little over. Ears well placed & set wide apart, nerves making her twist a little down, detracting form the width at their base, larger medium size. Good green to the eye colour, shape & set both good. Body very firm & weighty being a little more rounded in the tummy, well proportioned legs & paws, fine tail could a be a little longer. Her coat was close but a little on the longer side & a mite harsh as opposed to sleek. High white with quite a large chocolate patch on her bottom & tail, couple of splodged head markings, in dark chocolate, all her paw pads showing some chocolate. Her condition was excellent but a little shy & preferred the security of her pen, which I took into account when assessing her.

AV Non-Breeders Self Adult;
SHADOWSQUAD LUCIFERSLEGACY. 37. 17-03-08. Black, worried & rather startled looking chap which puts him at a disadvantage as he does not sell himself. Head has a longer length wedge with some muzzle pinch, good profile, quite a good chin. Ears are large & set well, wide base. Eyes slightly fuller shape, the colour rather pale tone of green, with a startled expression as opposed to wicked. Good length of neck, body long & with good muscle tone, good length of leg, oval paws, tail rather short & his nerves make the tip tense. Coat well prepared but rather long, though generally close lying. Sound glossy jet black. His condition & presentation both very good, but lacks a little in style & finish both factors which are attributable to his nervousness.

AV Junior Adult;
1st HIRST'S CH TOGHAR PASTICHE. 37h. 16-07-07. Chocolate Tortie, this girl has wonderful coat. Medium length wedge which could have a little more triangular appearance ideally, very good profile, good chin, bite marginal, just touches. Ears larger medium size, the width at their base good but she pricks a little high. Eyes have pleasing slant, slightly fuller shape, green in colour. Lithe well toned girl, with slim legs, oval paws, fine tail could be a little longer. Super coat, being short & very close lying, wonderfully sleek finish, excellent texture. Very attractive colour combination of warm chocolate with abundant red, including a lot of brighter shades, giving a good degree of brightness overall, there are some markings on the legs mainly but only in the red areas, it is otherwise sound & beautifully glossy. Her condition was super, excellent temperament, handles well.

AV Non-Self Kitten;
1st WILDON'S SUNJADE SILKMOTH. 45k. 15-10-08. Cinnamon Ticked Tabby, whilst not in my opinion quite on a par with her mother for type (even if she has picked up some her mothers mannerisms in other areas), she is an extremely attractive girl with super pattern elements (another attribute she has picked up from her mother), which just tipped her into pole position in this class. Medium length even wedge, profile good, quite a good chin, level bite. Ears are a larger medium size, wide base & set well apart. Eyes have lovely oriental shape & slant, lovely green tone, slightly wicked expression, Body firm & well proportioned, typically adolescent, slim legs, neat paws, excellent balanced tail. Coat close lying & quite a good shorter length, combined with being well prepared & a lovely sleek finish. Excellent typically Ticked facial markings with flashes onto the brow & more solid skull cap, beautifully defined banded ticking on the body with not a vestige of pattern otherwise, slight deepening on the spine line & tail, solid cinnamon tip, well defined heel markings. The colour has a pleasing degree of warmth & shows excellent contrast creating an attractive coppery effect, with subtle sheen. Condition was super, handles well despite her grumbles & chunters (also inherited from mother). Best In Show Female Kitten.
2nd FREMONT'S LUNATORA TAKEACHANCEONME. 45s. 27-01-09. Black Silver Ticked Tabby, very stylish lad with I feel sure a promising career ahead of him. Longer length even lines to the wedge which could be a little broader but still very young, excellent profile, good chin, bite okay. Ears large & with well flared wide base, excellent set. Eyes fractionally full, but nonetheless the shape & slant both typically oriental, wonderful intense green colour. Long neck, long firm body with slim legs, neat paws, excellent long fine whippy tail. Short close well prepared coat, which was an excellent texture, beautifully sleek. Well marked facial tracings, with solid skull cap, body showing well defined ticking with some small trout spots along his lower sides (which determined the placings), these will hopefully clear as he matures, black heels & tail tip. The contrast between the black & the silver is beautifully defined, the silver being clear, plus as an added bonus there is virtually no evidence of tarnish. Condition & temperament both excellent, he later became Best Oriental Kitten.
Marked as Wrong Pattern. CHERRY'S CIATRA CLARATASIA. 44k.
25-02-09. Cinnamon Mackerel Tabby, should in my opinion be 38k. Cinnamon Spotted Tabby, lovely firm kitten in superb condition. Well balanced medium length wedge, the profile developing well, good depth chin, bite good, despite swollen gums. Ears are a good larger size, very good flare to the base, just tending to carry a little high. Her eyes tend to open a little too fully which detracts a little from the oriental shape, but on the other hand highlights the very good green tone. Body is well grown & excellent weight for her young age, well proportioned legs, neat paws, excellent fine whip tail. Lovely coat, short & close lying, excellent preparation, lovely sleek finish. Well defined facial markings, with spotted whisker pads, lovely cheek tracings, clearly defined 'M' on the brow, thumbprints on the ears, excellent leg bracelets & also the tail rings for a good proportion of its length, colour on the heels, solid coloured tail tip, broken necklets, on the down side, the body pattern is not Mackerel, it does have some linkage to the spotting which in places gives it the appearance of elongated lines where the spots run into each other, but in other places the spots are well broken & beautifully contrasted if a little long in shape, there is also a well broken spine indicating further that it can not be Mackerel. Her colour is very warm & sharply defined against the warm creamy ground colour, spotted tummy. Condition & temperament both really excellent.

1st HOLDER'S MYLYNN MANIFIQUE. 62 18. 05-09-08. Black Silver Tabby Oriental Longhair, what a name to live up to, but I've yet to meet one who could do it better, he really did look quite superb, gives the hairs on the back of your neck a prickle, then your mouth starts salivating, quite gorgeous. He has a wonderfully masculine head showing strength & evenness of line you don't often see, his wedge is triangular & beautifully balanced, with excellent profile, deep chin & level bite. Super ear set, wide flare to the base complementing his wedge most beautifully, with some longer inner ear furnishing & lovely fringes at the base, excellent larger size. Eyes lovely oriental shape & setting, excellent green colour, with a truly wonderful trusting yet regal expression, so knows he is quality. Good neckline, despite being just 9 & a half months he is beautifully firm & well developed with good length muscular body, long legs, marginally heavier paws, well furnished plume to his tail which is of reasonably well balanced length (even if I would ideally prefer it just a tad longer). His coat was beautifully prepared soft silken like texture which has quite a good degree of length & certainly enough to give it a degree of flow over the body lines, good britches, longer on the tummy, long whiskers & eyebrows. His pattern loses out a little due to the semi-long coat length on the body, spine line not completely broken but showing enough evidence of break to comply (not being solid), spotting on the body generally good, excellent facial tracings with spotted whisker pads & clearly defined cheek stripes, complicated 'M' on the brow, excellent leg bracelets & good rings on the underside of the tail. His markings are a good black on slightly darker but obvious silver ground colour, clearer on his underparts, with spotted tummy also. He really is a wonderful specimen of his breed & true delight to handle & admire with excellent showmanship qualities, a pure joy & pleasure to drool over. Both his breeder & his owner are well entitled to feel justifiably proud. Later Overall Best in Show, which appeared almost inevitable, very many congratulations.
2nd ELLIS'S GR PR MYLYNN MOONSHADOW. 62 20. 09-12-06. Brown Tabby Oriental Longhair, this lad has really come on & matured, like his half brother above a wonderful example of what can be achieved in an Oriental whether long hair or shorthair. Beautifully strong even wedge, not long but with balance & strength, excellent profile, good chin. Ears are large & well flared at their base providing an harmonious appearance to his wedge, excellent fixed position. His eyes are a lovely oriental shape & slant, with a very definite green colour, beautifully expressive. Body large & well proportioned possessing very good length, very good legs & paws, tail would benefit with another inch or so, well furnished plume. Coat well prepared, texture & flow both excellent, showing good length overall, longer on the chest & tummy, full breeches, wispy fringes at the base of his ears, well furnished interiors. Beautifully defined facial markings, clear cheek ribbons, well spotted whisker pads, lovely 'M' on the brow, body pattern shows some linkage & his spine line whilst not completely solid is more so than I would prefer & a little wide extending down his tail, more evidence of rings on the underside, lovely bracelets, high well defined heels. Whilst I would prefer his colour a little warmer I accept you can't have everything & this lad has a great deal to compensate in other areas. Another super from the same stable as the winner & a quality exhibit unlucky to meet up with another family member, his condition & temperament both superb, plenty of 'oomph' (just not quite as much as the winner).
3rd HUTCHINGS'S GR PR WILLHAVETODO IMJUSTDIVINE. 43e.
04-08-07. Black Tortie Shaded, for type this girl looks super, even is she can wriggle more than any Abyssinian you are likely to come across, pity she is so 'scatty', though this is pure panic despite her caterwauling. Very, very elegant & stylish, even lines to her beautifully feminine head, the wedge of good length, very good profile, chin slightly narrow but has reasonable depth. Large, wide well flared ears so complementing her wedge, most beautifully set. Tends to widen her otherwise oriental shaped slanted eyes, possessing a good green to the colour, touch of panic stricken expression. Beautiful neckline, long lithe, taut yet firm body, long slender limbs, petite oval paws, long fine whiptail slight tension at its tip (not to imply kink). She has a beautifully short close lying coat, excellent texture, sleek glossy sheen. Facial markings are generally good, slightly more solid skullcap, broken cheek ribbons, her body pattern is somewhat muted, the red due to her Tortie elements adding to the problem of whether she is actually Shaded or not, plus the very short coat not assisting, leg bracelets broken with pale red, slight indication of tail rings towards its tip. Her condition was excellent, oh! that she would not get herself so panic stricken at being handled & hiding away beneath her blankets.

Marked as Wrong Colour, CHERRY'S CIATRA OPPS A CLASSY. 41r.
25-02-09. Fawn Classic Tabby, should in my opinion be breed No. 41n. Caramel Classic Tabby, beautifully grown youngster. Head has a balanced even wedge of medium length, profile good, firm chin, swollen gums. Slight tendency to prick the ears of good larger size just a little high, very good width to their base. Eyes marginally fuller oriental shape, gentle slant to the nose, he colour rather muddy olive green tone, as yet. Body is beautifully firm & weighty, well balanced legs & paws, good length tail. Coat close lying & quite a good shorter length, well prepared sleek finish. Body pattern whilst following 'Classic' lines was also lacking some of the more usual elements, i.e. there was no butterfly over the shoulders, broad area of solid colour along the back, missing the usual triple lines, oysters present but not complete, well traced facial markings, very good leg bracelets, linked broad tail bands, solid colour up the heels. The pattern colour was a sludgy taupe effect as opposed to the warm rosy mushroom of Fawn, which was particularly evident over the head & back, requiring more contrast between the pattern & the ground colour. Super condition & very composed.

OPEN CLASSES
Oriental Tortie Female
1st CC BOB HIRST’S CH TOGHAR PASTICHE (37h) F 16.07.07
A most attractive and feminine Oriental tortie queen with a medium almost straight wedge and balanced topline. Profile nearly straight, level bite and firm chin. Expressive oriental eyes of vivid green. Large wide at base very well set ears. Elegant neckline, lengthy svelte body, long slender limbs. Tapering tail of length to balance. Excellent coat qualities, very short and sleek with warm chestnut brown beautifully mingled with shades of light and darker red thoughout coat. Delightful temperament, very well shown and presented.
Havana Kitten Female
2nd (1st withheld) MARSTON’S DENSON SUZETTE (29) F 24.02.09
Havana kitten rather small for her age of fair type with a medium wedge, kitten pinch and needing a little more width across the topline for balance. Small dip in profile, neat level bite and firm chin. Eyes oriental in shape, straight set, still rather muddy green in colour. Good sized fairly well set ears. Long fine boned body, long legs, spoon paws, whippy tail of good length. Fine textured short coat of mid brown Havana showing lots of ghost markings. Unfortunately she had lots of scattered white hairs throughout her coat and a fairly large cluster of white hairs on her shoulder, I therefore had no choice but to withhold 1st prize. A confident friendly kitten, comfortably presented and shown in good condition.
Oriental Shaded Neuter Male
1st PC BOB CLEMENT’S PR LUNATORA SILVERMINSTREL (43bs) MN 14.08.07
Mature cat, large and strong looking but very shy and retiring. Medium wedge head, small pinch and very good topline. Almost straight profile, good bite and chin. Oriental set and shape to rather yellowy green eyes. Large ears, flared and very well set. Long slightly plump body, long strong limbs, long tapering tail. Super coat, very short and close lying with a clear silver undercoat pushing well up, tipped with dark chocolate and pleasingly clear of pattern. Showing tarnishing on mask, chest and front legs which I felt looked worse than it was as it merged somewhat with the chocolate shading. Excellent condition and beautifully presented.
Oriental Shaded Neuter Female
1st (PC withheld) HUTCHINGS GR PR WILLHAVETODO IMJUSTDIVINE (43e) FN 04.08.07
I did have a real headache over this black tortie shaded queen, her type is super with a strong head and broad topline. Small rise between eyes on profile, bite just marginally under, firm chin. Expressive clear green oriental eyes she tends to hold a little full, probably due to worry. Large wide at base beautifully set ears. Lengthy firm body, long legs with neat paws and balanced whip tail. Extremely short sleek coat mingled and patched with shades of red. My problem was that I could see no clear and paler undercoat on her ticked tabby coat apart from a slightly paler colour on the red patching. Fairly clear facial markings and leg bars. Excellent condition and presentation but it makes it more difficult to assess this cat as she is so very nervous and difficult to handle.

His tapering tail is a little thick and needs more length. Close lying coat which needs to be a little finer. Good apricot colour with permissible tabby markings in evidence. Shown in lovely condition. I would quite happily give him a grand but I didn’t feel he was quite up to the Imperial.

No Award to HAGGAR’S GR CH SUSPIRIA SIMPLY SOLARUS - 37r - M. 21.04.07. Sweet natured boy who is very moderate in type having quite a broad medium wedge head with well set wide based ears needing to be larger for balance. Straight profile line. Well set oriental eyes of a light bright green. Level bite with nice healthy teeth and gums. Strong chin. Quite a lot smaller than winner and needing far more weight and muscle tone. His tail is tapered but short. He really is not in good physical condition and his coat is very badly out of condition as well. I am sorry but I did not consider him to either be in condition or have sufficiently good enough type to be given an award in this prestigious class.

Oriental Bicolour Male Kitten: 1st & BOB LYNCH’S FIROUSI FANCY-THAT - 48 40b - M. 10.02.09. Chocolate Point & White.Super stylish little fellow with an excellent head which is a long even wedge with large very well set wide at base flared ears. Strong straight profile line with very slight depression at present. Well set oriental eyes of an excellent depth of brilliant blue. Level bite and firm chin. Elegant toned body, long slender legs and small oval paws. Long whip tail to balance. He has a high degree of white with inverted white V on his mask, predominantly white body with cute coloured lozenges over his head, ears and a few over his back. White tip to his tail. His points colour is of quite a dark shade of chocolate. Short close lying coat. Shown in excellent condition. I will follow his progress with interest.

2nd. SMITH’S LORICHA SCARAMOUCHE - 48 40t - M. 25.10.08. Tabby Point & White. Another lovely kitten with an even wedge head of good length. Large wide at base well set ears lacking flare. Slightly open oriental eyes of good depth of brilliant blue. Profile almost straight. Level bite and firm chin. Firm well fed rather heavy body, long slim legs and neat oval paws. Long tapering rather thick tail to balance. I would like to see a little more white on his face as he has just little patches below his eyes and one on his forehead. He has quite a lot of colour on his legs where ideally I would like to see a little more white. He has a cold tone to his tabby points colour but good clear tabby markings and warm body shading. A gentle boy shown in excellent condition.Lovely coat texture.

Oriental Bicolour Female Kitten: 1st. SOUTHALL’S PATCHESTY MYSTIQUE - 48 40 - F. 24.01.09. Seal Point & White. A very well grown young lady with medium length to her wedge head with wide at base ears needing to be a more generous in size and have more width between. Her eyes a rather round in shape and need much more depth to their blue. Good strong profile but she has a slight bump on her nose. Bite is overscissor and her chin falls away. Long muscular body, long slim legs and neat oval paws. Long tapering tail to balance.

Profile shows a slight break. His oriental eyes are a little deep in set, are of quite a good green but not the vivid green they should be. Level bite and firm chin. Long muscular body, long slender legs and neat oval paws. His tapering tail is a little thick and needs a little more length. Close lying coat which is a little dark in colour but it does have warmth.

Havana Neuter Female: PC n/a 1st. MATTHEWS’ SOLARUS BRONZE STARDUST - 29 - FN. 8.06.08. Medium length wedge head with large wide at base well set ears. Straight profile. Rather open eyes needing to be a much more definite green, the standard calls for a bright vivid green. Level bite and firm chin. Medium size body which is firm and well muscled, long slender legs and neat oval paws. Her tapered tail is rather thick and needs more length. Short close lying coat which is rather dark in colour but there is some warmth to it. Not a very happy girl today. In lovely condition.
 
2nd. MARSTON’S PR STYPERSON EMMALENA - 29 - FN. 28.02.02.A mature girl with a  medium length wedge head with ears that balance in size but need much more width between them.

Oriental Longhair Neuter Male: 1st PC & BOB HOLDER’S MYLYNN MAGNIFIQUE - 62 20 - MN. 5.09.08. Certainly very aptly named as he is indeed quite magnificent. Perfectly proportioned long strong wedge head with beautifully set large wide at base flared ears. Excellent profile line. Well set oriental eyes of very good depth of clear green - oh that more Orientals had his eye colour. Level bite and firm strong chin. Long muscular body, long strong legs and long well furnished tail. Hard to believe he is only 9 months of age, so well grown and mature. His coat length is still developing, it is fine and silky with fringes apparent and just flows on his body. An absolute joy to see an Oriental of such quality and congratulations on becoming Best Overall - well deserved.

Oriental Longhair Neuter Female: 1st & PC GODDARD’S MYLYNN SWEET-PEA - 62 43s - FN. 5.09.08. Litter sister to above and although very pretty and feminine lacks his outstanding type.

OPEN CLASSES
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER MALE
Two fabulous neuters. IGP, MUSSON’S GR PR MEILLAND MY KINDA GUY. (24) 29.6.06. Seal Point Siamese. Extremely handsome boy excelling in true seal point body and points colour - so rarely seen these days and ultimately this was the deciding factor for me between the two of them. Long strong wedge head, beautifully balanced by large wide based ears, set well apart to follow the lines of his wedge. Good profile, very nearly straight, his chin has good depth, the bite level. Gorgeous expressive oriental eyes, excellent for shape and set, the colour not quite sapphire but bright and vivid in tone. Very long, hard and muscular body with elegant neckline. Stands proudly on long slender legs. Lovely long fine whip tail in perfect balance. Superb warm seal brown points all dense and well matched. Warm creamy beige body with minimal shading – contrast excellent. Coat short and close fitting, beautifully prepared and presented for his day out. I was informed later by his delighted owner that this was his qualifying Certificate – well deserved – congratulations.
RIGP, COPELAND’S GR PR FLOWERDEW GTX PECTATIONS. (24) 2.2.08. Seal Point Siamese. Superbly stylish lad – extremely flashy, what a pity that I could not award 2 Imperials!! Long strong wedge head, just slightly fine on the muzzle, his ears very large, wide at the base, beautifully set and flared. Strong profile, deep firm chin, level bite. Lovely expression to oriental eyes, the colour has good depth, but for perfection could be a touch more intense. Very long, hard and muscular body with long elegant neckline. Long tall legs, stands beautifully, long whip tail in balance. Dense seal brown points all well matched, his body shaded and overall could be a touch warmer but there is very good contrast. Coat short, close and of excellent texture. Wonderful temperament - beautifully prepared and presented.

CARAMEL POINT ADULT FEMALE
BOB, MORGAN’S GR CH ASTRALBLAESE ANDROMEDA. 21.11.04. A pleasing queen of good type, rather dainty overall but of very good weight and balance. Mid length wedge head with large ears, wide at the base and very well set. Good profile with a firm chin, her teeth rather untidy but the bite appeared level. Oval eyes, expressive and of bright vivid blue. Long firm body with slim legs and dainty feet. Whip tail in balance. Well matched lilac based caramel points. Un-shaded off white body, her coat a touch long but well prepared and close lying. Delightful temperament – excellent presentation.
CC w/h, 1 MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE APHRODITE. 22.3.08. Of good overall type and balance, but small for her age at the moment - looking very immature and kittenish. Mid length wedge head with large well set ears. Profile not quite straight – still has a very small depression evident. Firm chin, level bite. Very good oriental shape and set to bright china blue eyes. Long slender body, needs to develop her muscle tone. Long slim legs. Long fine whip tail. Well matched lilac based caramel points with clear brownish overtones showing, particularly noticeable on her ears and tail. Un-shaded off white body – her coat long and open today. Presentation and temperament both excellent.

BALINESE ADULT FEMALE
CC & BOB, WOODHOUSE’S DORAL INYOURDREAMS. (61e) 22.6.07. Seal Tortie Point. Attractive and of good overall type and balance. Shorter even wedge head with large well set ears. Very good profile, firm chin, teeth somewhat higgledy piggledy but the bite level enough. Lovely deep blue eyes – good for shape and set, held just a touch full. Long body, firm and very well toned. Elegant legs, feet not too big! Tail well plumed – ½” more would benefit. Points all beautifully mingled - warm seal brown with lovely rich bright red in evidence throughout. Warm beige body shows minimal shading – the coat of good length, beautifully prepared, silky in texture and lying correctly along her body. Delightful temperament – made up to Champion today I hear, congratulations.

Mrs J Reed

Many thanks to Lilian and Harry for the invitation and to all for a lovely relaxed day at this friendly back to back Show, also to the ladies for the delicious lunch.
My fellow Judge Steve Morris stewarded for me and as usual worked tirelessly through BIS – quite like old days!

AC SIAMESE OR BALINESE PREMIER MALE  - 24 SERIES
1 & GRPR    COPELAND’S GRPR FLOWERDEW GTXPECTATIONS (24) 1year 4 months. Just lovely – wonderful head, and such a haughty expression! Wide set jug-handle ears, roman profile, muzzle a tad fine and the chin rounds off slightly, level bite, oriental eyes, bright – perhaps needing a little more depth for perfection, minimal pinch, long neck he uses to good advantage, long firm body, whip tail just needs another 1” for balance, long fine legs. Dense seal brown points all well matched, his body shaded and could ideally be a touch warmer but very good contrast. Coat short, close and of excellent texture. Wonderful temperament – so relaxed. Congratulations on Best Neuter later in the day.
2 (Res w/h) HUTCHING’S GR PR WILLHAVETODO SIR PERCY  (24n) 3 years A large substantial caramel chap who was not in the best of moods. Long wedge, chin could be stronger – his bite just over, large ears well set without extremity, slightly full oriental shaped eyes, bright medium tone needing more intensity, small rise over brow long rather plump body and sturdy long legs, tail thick but of good length. Points well matched brown/grey tone, heavily shaded, his coat was very patchwork as he had obviously been plucking a considerable area to his back and sides and although there was growth there it was still rather ‘threadbare’ and precluded the awarding of the cert I am afraid.

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER MALE BREED 32
Close run thing on these two but the maturity and magnificent points colour of the winner shone through today.
1 & GR PR    PR CHAIRIKKI TRIBAL WARRIOR  (32a) 4 years 1 month Even medium wedge with large ears reasonably set  -ideally could have a little more width between – oriental eyes of deep vivid blue (a rare treat) straight profile, small pinch, firm chin and level bite, quite a pronounced bump to back of skull – however this is always exaggerated on older cats I find as flesh tends to come off the head area the older they get. Long body of good weight and feel to him, long whiptail and elegant legs. Points wonderful bright rich reddish gold – paler front stockings as per normal –his coat bright white some tonal flank ‘spots’ Coat well prepared – just a little long. I understand this was his qualifying certificate – well done.
RES GR PR   HARRINGTON’S PR LOLUJA CASTINGASPELL  (32/10) 1year 9 months
Very stylish apricot tabby. Long wedge with large ears that need a little more width between to balance the length, almost straight profile, firm chin and level bite, slightly deep set eyes of good shape and medium blue tone, long well nourished and muscular body. Long strong legs whip tail. Warm apricot tabby markings – would like to see a little more intensity of colour to them by now, overall well defined pattern. Body shaded but sufficient contrast. Coat of excellent texture, short and close.

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER FEMALE
1 & GR PR FREEMAN’S CH & PR SOWHYNOT SERENDIPITY (24c) 3 years 9 months Nicely balanced lady with an even wedge, ears are well set but could be a little larger, lovely eye shape and set and of a good depth of colour, almost straight profile, good depth to her chin and nice clean even bite, has a lovely neckline, body long well nourished, her tail is a good whip but needs another inch or two, long legs. Points a touch dark but show a pinky tone to a dove grey, some tonal shading but this does not detract, coat excellent just a little long. Congratulations on Best Female Neuter.
2 (RES GR PR  w/h) DINSDALE’S GRCH & PR APPLEJACK BLUEFENIX  (32b2) 5 years 4 months. Rather matronly looking blue tortie. Medium wedge rather square to muzzle, ears of good size – need to be more open to base and more width between, eyes of good shape and set and of a pleasing depth of blue although a little dull, rise to brow in profile, good chin and lovely white teeth to her level bite, body very heavy and lacking elegance, tail also short and thick and with tiny end defect. Very dark blue points intermingled with carrying cream tones- some rather hot; her coat was rather coarse to the feel.

TORTIE POINT ADULT FEMALE
1 CC & BOB POUNDS’ CH JOMESE MANYDOTS  (32B1) 1 year 10 months
A very stylish seal tortie lady. I loved her short strong wedge and wide ear flare, eyes touch full and ideally could have more depth of colour, almost straight profile, chin rounds very slightly but bite ok, lovely neck and length of body, fine whip, lengthy legs. Warm dark seal points well broken with lovely bright red /gold  - aptly named! Warm coat with tonal patching, excellent short close texture to her coat.
Congratulations on Best Adult Female and Best Adult.

Long wedge with pronounced pinch, ears of a good size and reasonable set, dip to profile, eyes slightly straight bit good shape and brilliance, firm depth to chin – a little narrow – bite undershot, fine body needing to mature, balancing whip and elegant legs.

ADOLESCENT ADULT MALE
1 MULLEN’S FOXYPAWS ERICSSON  (32fn) 1 year A well grown masculine lad with a strong wedge and large ears – ideally these could have a little more width between, his eyes I term ‘upside down eyes’ in as much they are straight across top lid but have a pleasing shape to lower lid, of very good depth of blue, straight profile although his forehead is rather long at present to the eye to nose level however he is still young and developing, firm depth to chin and level bite, very long firmly muscled body and length of balancing whip tail, stands tall. Points of a rather warm cream at present and needing to develop a hot dusky tone, coat of warm off white with tonal shading to flanks  - his coat of super texture. Congratulations on Best Adult Male.
2 SIMPSON’S SHERMESE PRIME SUSPECT (24) 9 months 1 week A baby faced seal lad who was rather worried by it all. Medium wedge with large ears that could be a little more open to the base although reasonably well set, eyes full in shape although of a good depth to them, tiniest of dips to profile small pinch, chin could be stronger but bite ok, body growth commensurate with age although still to develop a real hard masculine feel to it, tail heavy although of good length, quite sturdy legs. Point s touch cold and his body also needing more warmth to it, coat of good texture although a little long.

Many Thanks to Harry and Lilian and their team. We had a really enjoyable day with some lovely cats. Thank you, Shirley, once again for your company and gentle handling of the exhibits.

What a gorgeous boy sitting in his pen calmly watching the people and cats with an inscrutable expression on his lovely, plump face. You could almost see him beam when my steward lifted him out he was so happy to have a fuss made of him. His large head had clear tabby marking on his face...double ribbons in evidence. Amber, intelligent eyes and long white whiskers. His coat is a bright marmalade colour with clear stripes down his back. So soft and silky that it was hard to stop stroking him. White bib and boots completed hid dapper appearance. A charming fellow that it was a pleasure to handle him.

Another favourite of mine who is looking a lot younger than his 10 years. Large fellow who handled beautifully. Big well marked head with the most expressive of eyes. Tufts in ears. Long, fluffy coat and animated tail which I think indicated that he was very happy! Very lovely boy for his age.
