OPEN CLASSES
A.C. GD PR Siamese/Balinese Neuter Male
IMP - Brine's GD PR LYNNOX MYSYAMEEZ GALILEO (24c) 07/08/06. A very stylish
and elegant neuter boy. Super head with wide top line and very large beautifully
flared ears set to balance. Excellent expression to eyes of oriental shape
and set, colour could be a touch deeper but was acceptable for a dilute.
Tiny dip to profile over nose, firm chin and level bite. Long well defined
neck, long firm toned body with excellent trim tummy line for a neuter,
long slender limbs and spoon paws, tapered tail needs an inch to balance.
Soft greyish points with a hint of pink, well matched apart from the tail
which was a touch fawn toned. Medium length magnolia coat with minimal
shading to tone, texture and condition excellent. Slightly shy but handled
well. Beautifully presented.
R - Wallace's IGPR ROZANDEN SIMBA MFALME (32a) 12/04/03. Another stylish and elegant neuter who ran the winner close. Very even and well balanced medium wedge, top line very good and the ears are well flared and set to follow. Lovely eyes for shape and set with very good depth of colour and such a serene expression. Almost straight profile and very good chin, bite lacks most of the lower incisors but appears reasonably level. Long quite heavy body, still with some elegance evident, long limbs and long tail to balance. Good bright red points almost matching with a good amount of colour on the limbs for a red. Super coat, short and close lying with light red shading down the spine. Perfect temperament, a joy to handle as always. Excellently presented.
A.C. GD PR Siamese/Balinese Neuter Female
IMP - Meek's GD PR SHERMESE CHINA DOLL (24) 08/06/07. A dainty and stylish
lady. Very good head with excellent top line and large wide based ears
set to balance. Lovely eyes with very good shape set and expression and
super deep blue colour. Quite a pronounced dip to nose but chin and bite
level. Long dainty but fairly weighty body with a good firm feel to it,
long dainty limbs and neat spoon paws, super long whip tail to balance.
Very dark dense and slightly cooled toned seal points, well matched. Very
good length and texture to coat with medium shading overall. Excellent
to handle and beautifully presented.
2nd R w/h - Godwin's GD PR GENETTA BLUE HYACINTH (24a) 18/07/03. A very dear and gentle lady who has some very good qualities but lacks that extra style I personally look for in an Imperial. Medium length wedge with good top of head and largish ears well set. Very good eye shape and set with excellent brilliant colour - her best feature I think. Slight dip to nose, firm chin, clean and level bite with all teeth in situ. Good length to body, fairly trim for a neuter lady, long limbs but tail a bit short for balance. Cool toned blue points, marginally darker than she was as a youngster but still good. Super close texture to short coat which shows clear glacial tones as per SOP - so rarely seen these day, lightly shaded thus very good contrast for a blue of this age. Excellent to handle, a sweet and very friendly lady, excellently presented.
Oriental Blue Neuter Male
PC & BOB - Holt's ADATEAM DOTNDASH 18/08/08. A young lad of good type
and style, very well developed for 9 months. Medium length wedge with
goodish top of head, ears could be a little larger for balance but were
well set. Good shape and set to eyes, can hold wide at time, colour two
tone with green just seen. Slight dip to nose, firm chin and level bite.
Long slightly heavy adolescent body, long strong limbs and oval paws,
tail needs an inch to balance. Blue coat looked a touch dark today and
was a little unsound on the lower sides, but length and texture excellent.
Super temperament and excellently presented.
Oriental Red Neuter Male
PC & BOB - Clothier's PR KASSALIC ROBIN REDFEET 07/05/07. Not the
largest of neuters but very stylish indeed. Longish wedge with very good
top of head and large flared ears that almost balance. Small dip to nose
and good firm chin, bite very untidy with several incisors missing, appeared
level-ish. Good length to firm toned and elegant body, long limbs, but
tail much too short for balance. Super rich red coat with just a little
diffuse tabby pattern showing, red to roots, medium in length, overall
texture a touch fine but lying well. Made lots of loud threatening noises
but actually handled quite well. Excellently presented.
Caramel Point Siamese Adult Female
1st CC w/h - Holt's ADATEAM SHARANZ SAKURA 18/08/08. Neat little queen
of good overall type but immature and kitten-like and her colouring is
somewhat ambiguous at the moment. Medium length head, top could be marginally
wider, ears of good size but set slightly high. Very good eye shape, set,
expression and colour. Tiny dip to profile, good chin and level bite.
Dainty body of good length, slender limbs and neat paws, tapered tail
almost balances. Points colour more lilac than lilac based caramel at
present. I am mindful that she is very young yet and there is a hint of
a brownish tone to the tail and under the feet, the coat is also the correct
colour so she may very well just be a late developer. Coat length and
texture very good and the contrast is excellent. Super to handle and excellently
presented.
A.C. Balinese Adult Male
CC & BOB - Smythe's CH NATHIFA DAIMOND GEEZER (61dt) 16/05/07. Attractive
boy, still somewhat immature looking but he has improved since our last
meeting. Broad medium wedge with very good top of head, ear size very
good with reasonable furnishings, set to balance. Almost straight profile
good firm chin and level bite. Long body with good weight and muscle tone,
longish limbs and oval well tufted paws. Very good bright red colouring
to tabby markings, tail rings not that evident but can just been seen
when plume shaken out. Excellent coat texture, beautifully silky and fine
with medium shading to tone. The length is acceptable, although it could
ideally be a little longer down the sides, however, it does flow quite
well, plume reasonably well furnished. An easy boy to handle, excellently
presented.
A.C. Balinese Adult Female
1st CC w/h - Smith's JAYMAX HEAVON SENT (61p) 20/06/08. This lady has
very good size and substance, type generally good. Medium wedge head with
rather narrow top, ears fairly large but set too high on the head for
good balance. Oval shaped eyes of medium blue. Dip to profile over nose,
strong chin and level bite, muzzle could be finer and is somewhat square
in appearance. Excellent substance to long firm body, strong limbs for
a female, tail to balance. Soft lilac-based caramel points, very well
mingled in warm mid apricot. Coat needs more length overall and the plume
is sparsely furnished, however, texture lovely, very silky indeed. A friendly
lady excellently presented.
MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Junior Adult
1st - Pounds' CH JOMESE JENNY MANYDOTS (32b1) F 03/08/07. I like the type
and style of this lady, she is not the biggest of girls but has good weight
for size. The eyes are a touch straight set and I detected a hint of a
"look" today but colour okay. Tortie mingling excellent, showing
good rich red flecks and they were very even throughout. Beautifully poised
and relaxed in her snug nest.
2nd - Taylor's MAHEREOE KANDASSIE (24b) M 29/11/07. If this lad had been a better colour he would have been the winner of this class. Still a little immature looking, but oh so stylish, with a lovely even and well balanced head type. Points colour dark cool toned chocolate, even his coat is incorrect with the texture and colour more in keeping with a seal than a chocolate, pity. Handled beautifully.
3rd - Rudge's MAGICAL MOONLITESONATA (32/4) M 04/05/08. A great big boy, extremely well developed for his age, of good overall type. Good head with strong profile, chin slopes back a touch, slight pinch to muzzle. Tabby markings very good but beginning to look rather dingy in tone for a lilac. Coat very heavily shaded for a youngster. Rather shy but handled okay.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Senior Adult
1st - Duncan's CH MALIKASIAM EMIR HARITH (24b) M 11/03/05. A strong handsome
lad. Very good head type with wide top, goodish profile but chin could
be stronger. His points colour is dark but shows a reasonable degree of
warmth. For such a masculine boy he handles very well indeed.
2nd - Dawe's GD CH BARBECCO STAY WITH ME (32/5) M 18/09/06. An attractive boy of very good type but lacking the strength and masculinity of the winner. Well balanced head from the front view, but from the side there is a distinct dip to the profile, however the chin and bite are good. Eyes are of good shape and colour but set straight. Tabby markings good but a somewhat paler red. A lovely boy to handle.
A.V. Aristocratic Adult
1st - Maule's LYNNOX HONEY BEE (32/3) F 19/05/07. Overall an attractive
queen. Head type good with very good top line. Eyes good shape and set,
perhaps a touch large in proportion to the head size, colour good. Tabby
markings in pale chocolate, scarab rather indistinct but tail rings good.
An easy girl to handle.
2nd - Willis KASSALIC FORBIDDEN SECRET (29) 25/06/08. Very stylish but rather kittenish at present. Coat colour dark but fairly warm, at present it is unsound and uneven and a little on the long side. Good tempered.
A.V. Local Kitten
1st - Webster's JOMESE JESSIE JAMES (32/1) M 06/11/08. A typy little boy
but with the emphasis very much on little at the moment, he is small for
7 months which is a shame as he is very promising. Eye colour has good
depth but lacks brilliance. A sweet boy, lets hope he is just a late developer.
2nd - Chilcott's ANUBIS RAVEL'S BOLERO (32/2) M 04/01/09. There is something very endearing about this boy, and he has lovely soft pale blue tabby markings, he is also fairly well grown with a good solid feel to him. Top of head could do with more width and his eyes, though very good colour, tend to be rather full in shape.
A.V. Visitors Kitten
1st - Lodwig's MAFDET MAFIOSO (24) MN 04/10/08. A very typy boy with huge
bat ears - now neutered I see. Eye colour needs depth and has a slightly
turquoise tone to the outer edge. Points colour a little cool toned at
present but I fancy they have improved since he was tiny. Lovely to handle.
2nd - Berry's CHANTEUR MOONFLOWER (61fnt) F 23/01/09. This baby is very promising for type and colour. Lovely top to head and with large wide based ears set wide. Eyes a touch full but this could improve as the head lengthens, colour could be deeper. Points really hot toned already and tail rings can clearly be seen. Coat length promising for age with super texture.
3rd - Button's ALFACENTORY PUTARA (32a) F 04/12/08. Good type overall with excellent rich red points colour to this baby. Eye colour could ideally be a little deeper.
A.C. Oriental/Oriental Longhair Non-Self Neuter
1st - Hutching's GD PR WILLHAVETODO IMJUSTDIVINE (43e) FN 06/08/07. I
think that I have said all there is to say about this lovely lady and
despite the continued doubts about her pattern, I personally am perfectly
happy she is what she is supposed to be. Very nervous today
2nd - Wills' WILLHAVETODO PINTSIZEPINTO (48 40) MN 16/05/08. A very attractive boy for type and pattern. Well balanced head with large ears very well set. Seal points warm in tone for a Bicolour. He has white in all the right places with at least the required one third. I would just like him a little bigger. Excellent to handle.
3rd - Tasker's CH & GD PR BUNDOOK OHM MAID (62 43n) FN 25/11/01. A very dear and senior lady now, with the super caramel colouring and wonderful green eyes. Her pattern is still very doubtful with some soundness seen in places - which is not correct for shaded. Her coat length is very good but the texture is not correct - she has far too much undercoat. Having said all this, it was good to see her again, turned out to perfection and swearing her head off as usual - bless her.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Neuter
1st - Kersey's PR MALIKASIAM WILBUR-MEWZED (24c) MN 06/09/07. An attractive
boy of good type, he still has a somewhat innocent baby look to him but
he is not a small cat by any means. Soft pinkish grey points - good to
see, and his eye colour is an excellent, deep brilliant blue. Very sweet
tempered.
2nd - Cockwell's CARBEILE BOJI STONE ( 32/1) MN 13/07/07. A dear boy of basically good type. Head a touch unbalanced with narrow top line. Eyes of very good shape and colour but set straight and lacking oriental slant. Coat of very good texture but heavily shaded. Handled very well.
A.V. Aristocratic Neuter
1st - Watson's MALIKASIAM MALAIKA SAEEDA (24a) FN 07/10/07. A stylish
girl with good points colour and very good eye colour.
2nd - Crumpler's SARNAJES SULTANOFSWING (24b) MN 03/02/08. Of good type and style. Good head, but chin rather weak and the bite is overshot. His chocolate points are also very dark. A friendly boy
3rd - Morgan's ASTRALBLAESE ACHILLES (24b) MN 22/03/08. This boy has good type but is rather small for his age. Head well balanced, bite very untidy and is undershot. Points colour good but shows extensive brindling at present, particularly under the eyes. A sweet boy.
Any Siamese/Balinese Adult, Kitten or Neuter born January - June.
1st - Hutching's GD PR WILLHAVETODO SIR PERCY (24n) 27/05/06. An old friend,
I had him in my Imperial class today and felt he lacked his usually sparkle.
It is a pity he has such uneven and quite heavy shading to his coat -
what ever the reason, as it does spoil his look. A dear boy to handle.
2nd - Morgan's ASTRALBLAESE AKHENATEN (24) M 11/05/08. A very nervous boy. His type is good but he lacks masculinity, even allowing for the fact that he is still a youngster. Eyes full in shape and he has a tendency to squint, but colour very good. Points very dark dense and slightly cool in tone. Not very happy to be here I don't think.
Any Siamese/Balinese Adult, Kitten or Neuter born July - December
1st - Button's ALFACENTORY MATARIKI (32a) 04/12/08. A big strong kitten,
well grown, of good type and with rich red points colour. Easy to handle.

Thank you Nicky for a most enjoyable day I look forward to us working together again.
AC BIRMAN PREMIER NEUTER MALE
GR PR NOT AWARDED
1. BRIDGE'S PR TISCANTI FIREOF PHOENIX (13c5) MN 06.03.2008. A 15 month old Red Point Birman. Who really looked the part, unfortunately when we got to his foot markings the white went past the stopper pad on his right foot which was such a pity as in all other respects he was a very nice lad. He had good overall type and balance with a strong, broad and rounded head, width and fullness to his cheeks and muzzle and a good depth of chin, he had medium sized ears which he tended to flare a little when he relaxed, however he had had the most glorious, almost round, blue eyes with such a gentle expression, he had medium length to his nose with a slight dip which rounded slightly toward the nose leather. He had a large and weighty body with a full tail balanced to his body length and good boning to his limbs with large paws. He was dressed in a well prepared full coat with a neat ruff, he had pale cream body fur with a slight golden hue along his back, the orangey/red colouring to his mask and ears had the greater depth of colour development, the red to his legs and tail somewhat paler. The white on the top of his front gloves almost matched, however, the left one sloped to the inside of the foot, the white underneath was just on a level with the stopper pad but as already mentioned the white under his right foot was too high, his socks were almost even, the left one just marginally higher, his gauntlets were three quarter the length of the hock a with a rounded finish and his feet could have been just a little whiter. It was such a pity I couldn't award him a certificate due to the extended white on his foot as he was a gorgeous lad with the most marvellous temperament.
AC BIRMAN PREMIER NEUTER FEMALE
GR PR HAWES'S IGR CH & PR GLENPETER CONCERTO (13c2) FN 28.08.2001. Blue Point Birman. Well what can I say about this beautiful lady that hasn't been said many time before! For me she has it all, style, presence and type, and she is always shown to perfection. She has such a feminine expression to those glorious deep blue eyes. Her head is broad yet has gently rounded contours with breadth to the top and medium sized ears spaced well apart, a medium length nose with a slight dip in the profile and finished with deep blue nose leather, very full cheeks, broad muzzle and a firm chin. She has a large well covered frame (always so good to see on a female) beautifully balanced with a full tail that's in proportion to her body length with strong medium length limbs and large paws. Her front gloves almost match and were even underneath, matching socks, three quarter length gauntlets, one just a little more tapered than the other but both even in length. She was dressed in a moderately full coat with a soft ruff framing her head, her body fur was mostly glacial white in tone, it was just a little harsh and darker down her back and flanks today (probably old winter coat) and she had well defined, matching medium blue points to her mask, ears, legs and tail. She really is a gorgeous girl who handled beautifully and it came as no surprise when she went BIS Semi LH Neuter. Congratulations to her Owners/Breeder.
RES GR PR NOT AWARDED
2. LOXTON'S PR INNUENDO FAT BOTTOMED GIRL (13c7) FM 30.03.2005. A four year old Cream Point Birman girl of substantial proportions with moderately boned limbs and a full medium length tail. However, her head was small in comparison to her body size and she had a flat top rather than a rounded forehead, her nose was somewhat rounded in profile but it was of medium length with a slight dip and a pink leather, she had well placed ears, lovely medium blue eyes that were almost round in shape, nice width and fullness to her cheeks and muzzle, and a good depth of chin, but she has a dirty nose and a very dirty chin, (I did speak to her owner at the end of the day). She had matching top gloves that were neat underneath, almost matching socks, the right one a little uneven in shape and she had three quarter length tapered gauntlets. Her points were a dark shade of cream and she had strong tabby definition, she had white rims to her ears, her legs were heavily barred as was her tail, and she had spotted whisker beds and white fur (spectacles) around her eyes. She had a moderately full, soft coat and neat ruff, her body fur was off white in colour overlaid with a very dark golden halo. She was grumbling away under her breath whilst being handled and was much happier when returned to her pen. I was sorry not to award this girl the certificate but felt the above mentioned imperfections precluded her from the awards.
LILAC CREAM PERSIAN ADULT
CC NOT AWARDED
1. SWINSCOW'S KIRKFORD PEGGOTTY. (11c) F. 02.03.2007 A young lady of
two years and three months who was very rangy and underweight today, she
has good bone and large paws but she did need to fill out and bulk up
and her tail could have been shorter. She had a nice rounded head with
good width between small neat ears, she had a very short nose with an
acceptable leather and nostril apertures, although she had a very pronounced,
deep stop and gutters, she had beautiful, large, rounded, dark orange
eyes with a lovely expression, she needed more width and fullness to her
cheeks and muzzle, her chin was quite firm bit I felt her bite was slightly
misaligned. She had a soft and nicely intermingled coat with some patching
on her face but the colour of her coat was quite hot along her back, her
legs were lilac with small cream patches. I was sorry to withhold on this
girl but felt the above mentioned faults precluded her form the certificate.
TORTIE OR CHOCOLATE TORTIE & WHITE ADULT
CC NOT AWARDED.
1. ANGUS'S CH PALCHINNO SEANYMPH. (12.2) F 10.04.2008. A nice solid girl who was compact in shape with a short fully furnished tail, she had strong boning to her short legs and she stood on large rounded paws. Good broad head with neat well placed ears set wide on her skull, showing a slight indent to her forehead, she had a very short nose with a broad leather and a strong break, large deep copper coloured orbs but showing a dark residue around the rims and in the corners, she also has deep gutters along the sides of her nose and very dirty nostrils. She had full cheeks and breadth to her muzzle with a strong chin and almost level bite. She was dressed in a full coat with a frill covering her shoulders, her coat was two thirds colour to white, the blue and cream were medium to dark in tone and broken into large patches, the white could have been brighter, her tail was both cream and blue, she had a white inverted 'v' to her blue coloured face with a small cream patch on the right of her nose, and a blue chin, she had white to her under body and limbs. I was sorry to withhold on this girl as her coat was quite well groomed, however, she was let down with the heavy staining to her face.
BI-COLOURED ADULT MALE
1.CC & BOB. AMBLER'S TYTHERTON RALPH LAUREN. (12a5) M. 25.05.2008. Wow!! What a stunning 13 month old Red & White Bi-Colour lad. So very impressive with his gorgeous type, heavy bone and his immaculately groomed voluminous coat, he looked like a powder puff on legs. He had great breadth and fullness to his head with a nicely rounded skull and small, neat, well feathered ears that fitted snugly into the contours of his head, he had large, cooper eyes, a short nose with a defined stop and well formed nose leather, the nostrils could have been just a little larger, he had lovely, round apple cheeks, a broad muzzle and good depth of chin with a wide, scissor bite. He had a large compact body shape with a short plumed tail, he had stout limbs and large, round tufted paws. His coat was absolutely amazing, it was so long you couldn't see his legs without lifting it and he had a massive ruff framing his head and extending down between his front legs, his body fur was predominantly white and almost van patterned, he had an even white blasé separating the rich red colouring to his head, he had a full red tail with a little red patch just above his tail and on his shoulders, the remaining fur to his body and limbs was sparkling white, he really was groomed to perfection with every hair separate and shining, I just wish more show cats were groomed to this standard! I was so pleased to see him go BIS Overall Persian later in the day which he truly deserved and my sincere congratulations go to his owner/breeder.
AOC SELF COLOURPOINT KITTEN MALE
1ST NOT AWARDED.
2. HAMMETT & COKER'S SHOU CREAMCRACKER (13b7) M. 27.02.2009. A little Cream Point or Cream Tabby Point lad? Who was just 13½ weeks of age. I did confer with a breeder judge and she confirmed he looked like a Cream Tabby Point. However, whatever his colour he needed to be somewhat larger for his age as he was quite small. He looked very unbalanced facially and although he had quite a good breadth to the top of his head, the lower half of his face was shorter than the top, his ears were a tad large, he had short nose with a good break but the fur and skin from the side view hung over the tip of his nose giving him a strange profile and the leather was a little small. He didn't have the correct round eye shape, they were straight across the top of his eyes and the colour was very pale blue/green, he had quite good width to his cheeks and a good depth of chin but he had a slightly overshot bite. He had good cream definition to his points but showing decidedly cream tabby patterning to his face, ears, legs and tail. He was dressed in a soft kitten coat that was quite well groomed. He was a dear little soul who just purred the whole of the time he was handled. I was sorry not to award a first in this class but the above mentioned faults were the reasons why.

2. HAMMETT & COKER'S SHOU SAPHIRE (13b4) F. 27.02.2009. A little lilac point girl who was litter sister to Cream cracker and who was also a tad small for her age. She had a nice round head with well placed ears that were a touch large, she had the same eye shape as her brother with a straight top and rounded underneath and the colour was very unsettled having a green mottling to the outer rim, she had a short nose with a good break and a small pinkish/grey nose leather but the same nose profile with the fur and skin overhanging the tip of the nose. She had ample width and fullness to her cheeks and muzzle and a good depth of chin with an almost level bite. She was dressed in a soft, fluffy, magnolia kitten coat, her points still developing with the deeper colour to the middle of her mask, her leg and tail colour indiscernible at present. Her presentation was fairly good although a little more attention to her face would have been beneficial. Again I was sorry to withhold the first place on this girl but the eye shape/colour and nose profile were incorrect.
SEAL POINT BIRMAN ADULT
CC NOT AWADRED.
1ST. BUSH'S BIRSARUS SEALOF PERFECTION (13c1) M. 03.09.2008. At nine months of age this lad was just old enough to enter into this adult class today. He was a nice weighty lad for his age with good body conformation and a balanced tail which was well furnished. He had good boning to his legs and nice strong paws. However, he was very unbalanced facially, he had width to the top of his head but he needs to fill out in his cheeks and muzzle, he had well pl aced ears that were a little on the large side, lovely eyes shape and expression with very deep blue centres but slightly paler around the perimeters, his nose was medium in length, however, it had a very pronounced dip and a bump in profile and he also needed a stronger chin as it tended to fall away. The seal colouring to his points were developing well with the deeper colouring to his head and ears, his whisker pads paler, the leg colour still developing and his tail was very brindled. He had well marked scalloped gloves, the right one was higher under the foot than the left and it had a small white spot, he had almost matching socks, the right gauntlet three quarter the length of the hock and tapered the left with a more rounded finish. He had a moderately full, creamy/white coat with just a little smattering of salt and pepper colouring along his back.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN ADULT MALE
CC NOT AWARDED.
1ST FISHER'S PANZALIA PRINCE OF HEARTS. (13c2) M. 13.07.2008. A ten month old Blue Point lad who was well developed and had good body length with sound boning to his legs and although he had a full tail I would have preferred it a tad longer. He had a good head shape which needs to fill out a little more which I'm sure it will do as he matures. His ears were held a little high today, he had beautiful eye shape and colour (almost round and deep blue), medium length nose with a slight dip but just a little rounded in profile, he had good nose leather, his cheeks and muzzle were filling out and he had an ample chin depth. He had a good depth of mid blue colouring to his mask, just a little paler on his whisker pads, the colour developing well on his legs and tail. His gloves were slightly uneven, the right one was scalloped, the left was just a little higher, the white matched underneath, his socks were quite low and scalloped and the gauntlets were very short, narrow and pencil like. He had a soft well prepared, glacial white coat with a neat little ruff. A sweet and gentle lad of good type who was well presented but unfortunately his markings were not up to the required show standard.

AV SLH LOCAL ADULT
1. SCANDRETT'S MIAOWAMOUR ARMANI BUDDY (66) M. 11.02.2008. A Seal Pointed
Ragdoll, who at 16 months of age was well developed and substantial. He
had a lengthy body and balanced tail and good boning to his limbs. He
had nice head type with forward tilting ears of medium size, medium blue
eyes almost round and showing a slight oblique set, good nose length and
profile with width to his cheeks and muzzle and finished with firm chin.
He had a moderately lengthy coat with a small ruff, his body fur was shaded
as were his under parts and he needed a little more show preparation,
his seal points were very unsettled today, he looked like he had been
sunbathing as his points were very bleached, and a rusty/orange in colour.
Hopefully when he gets his new winter coat his points will return to the
seal colour they should be.
Many thanks to Elaine Lisa and John for the invitation to judge at this lovely show on rainy day at Weston-Super-Mare. My grateful thanks to Heather Boucher who travelled for 3 hours in the rain to steward for me, she was good company and confidently handled the cats with kindness, consideration and gentle efficiency.

RED CREAM OR TORTIE POINT BIRMAN KITTEN. 1. BOB. BENNETT’S GAYEMAUDI ROSEOFMUNKCHIP. 13c5. F. 16.12.08. An attractive looking red point female of 5 months showing good Birman type. Round head with good underlying bone structure; medium ears just standing a little tall at the moment, with good space between; cheeks nicely rounded and tapering to muzzle line; level bite, firm chin, medium size nose with slight dip in profile; almost round eyes of a pale blue deepening from the centre; she has a lovely soft facial expression. Long body of good weight and boning for her age; medium length legs which are thickset; paws short and strong; balanced busy tail. Coat long, soft and silky of a pale cream in shade, with some slight red shading on shoulders; points of rich red on ears; facial mask of red spreading from nose to cheeks; a faint ghost tabby ‘M’ marking is visible on her forehead; front legs are a paler shade of red as are her hind legs; gloves symmetrical; white not beyond the stopper pad on right leg; on back of left leg colour has still to come through more fully; and so I gave her the benefit of a little doubt because of her young age; white socks on both back paws; gauntlets on both legs, pointed, and half way to hock. A gentle feminine looking Birman girl shown in good condition. My reason for giving her 1st and BOB was owing to her soft gentle Birman expression.
2. ALLEN’S TISANTI VALENTINA GRACE. 13c10. F. 24.9.08. A well grown lilac tortie lady of 8 months, showing good Birman type. Good underlying bone structure to round head; medium ears with good furnishings, spaced well apart; cheeks developing well and tapering to muzzle line; level bite – she is teething at the moment; medium size nose with slight dip in profile; almost round eyes of a blue shade. Good size long body for her age, of good weight and muscular tone; medium length to her thickset legs, with short strong paws; balanced bushy tail. Coat is long and silky of magnolia white with a light dusting of pale cream on shoulders and spine; points of a darker shade of lilac to a beige agouti background overlaid with a darker shade of cream and a lighter shade of cream; for preference the lilac needs a little more warmth with a pinkish hue; the cream for preference needs to be less hot in shade in my view; the colour on the facial mask spreads from the nose to the cheeks; points on front legs are a mixture of pale and darker cream; lilac colour is just visible on right leg, with a dusting of lilac on left leg; both lilac, cream, and light cream are seen on back legs; a lovely dusting of lilac on her tail which clearly shows both shades of cream; front gloves symmetrical with no white beyond stopper pads; white socks on back legs, with gauntlets; right gauntlet is a little shorter than the left one; both gauntlets are rounded. This girl has really good Birman type and size; however her lilac colouring is just a little darker side for me at the moment. She was shown in excellent condition. She has a lovely personality.

USUAL ABYSSINIAN ADULT:
1 CHILCOTT'S NISHALKA JUNO(F): A girl of eleven months of age with a lovely expression. Head has good width across top but lacks the correct contour lines and any muzzle indentation, which gives straight lines to muzzle from outer edge of ear to end of nose. Lovely clear face markings. Profile shows gentle rounding to the brow, the very slightest of nose breaks, firm chin and level bite. Ears large with good width between, pricked and correctly set. Eyes large, set well apart, rounded almond in shape and very expressive. Body lithe and muscular with a good feel to it. Whilst in excellent condition this girl needs to be a little larger, as at present she looks and feels like a well-grown kitten. Legs slender and elegant with small oval feet and long black hocks. Tail good, thick at base, of correct length to balance the body well and tapering to a medium length black tip. Coat super, short, fine and lying close with the correct texture to it. Coat colours are a ruddy orange base and the topcoat has four clear bands of ticking, giving an overall warm and rich hue. No leg bars, a very faint well-broken necklet, no grey roots, white on lips and chin only. A nicely presented girl with a shy temperament but easy to assess. I was sorry not to award the certificate but her head shape and general build were my concerns. No doubt in a few months she will mature and be a very beautiful Aby.
OCICAT ADULT MALE:
CC AND BOB McLEOD'S NWELA BLIZZARD(73bs): A strong and muscular boy of two years of age. Head overall well balanced being a modified wedge, just longer than it is wide and showing a broad, well defined muzzle with a definite squareness. Face markings very good, very clear and running over head where they break into small spots on neck and shoulders and continue along spine line. The downside to the pattern is that there is some tarnishing within some of the spots over shoulders, otherwise all clear and pleasant. Profile shows the slightest of dips in the nose line, firm chin and level bite. Ears a little on the small side although with good width between and correctly set. Eyes large, almond shaped and correctly set. Body super, strong, solid and muscular with an excellent feel to it and carried on well muscled, medium length legs. Tail of correct length to balance body well and is broad at the base and tapering to a medium length chocolate tip. Coat very nice, short, close lying and sleek with a good sheen. Coat ground colour rather warm, being more of a warm mushroom than a creamy silver but spot colour a clear chocolate giving a good contrast overall. This lad had a nice athlete appearance with a good temperament making him easy to assess.
OCICAT ADULT FEMALE:
1 McLEOD'S NWELA MEISHA(73bs): A small girl of just over two years of age with a rather unbalanced head due primarily to a lack of strong square muzzle and medium to small ears which are rather close together and set upright. Profile shows the slightest of nose dips, firm chin and level bite. Ears as mentioned, medium to small in size, needing more width between and they are set upright. Eyes large and almond shaped with good width between and set correctly. Body rather lean and not particularly muscular, maybe she has been calling recently but doesn’t fit into the ‘solid and substance’ category. Legs medium in length, moderately muscular with compact oval paws. Tail of sufficient length to balance body, broad at base with a slight taper. Coat rather on the long side, not particularly close lying but with some sheen. Her colour was good with a creamy silver ground and a warm chocolate spotting. Spot definition and pattern good overall. This girl was very nervous and fairly difficult to assess. I felt that I could not award the certificate on account of her head shape and her current size and build, so sorry.
BENGAL BROWN SPOTTED NEUTER MALE:
PC AND BOB WAGSTAFFS SEREGON TEDDY EDWARDS: A lad approaching one year of age, very well grown and mature. Head a broad medium wedge with gentle contours, slightly longer than wide. Nose large and broad with puffed nose leather and a full and broad muzzle. Excellent face markings and pattern which run unbroken over head, down neck and across shoulders. Profile shows correct contour lines, slight dip in nose line, deep firm chin and level bite. Ears rather large with good width between and correctly set. Eyes large in size, oval in shape and correctly set and bright green in colour. Body excellent, long, sleek and muscular with a good strong feel to it. Legs medium in length, strong and muscular with large rounded paws. Leg markings show as broken rings with some spots. Tail rather on the long side although moderately thick and even. Tail pattern show a mixture of rings with some spots on underside. Coat short in length and whilst not particularly dense is very soft to the touch. Coat colours mid gold ground with large black spots outlined in places with dark brown pencil lines. The contrast between the ground colour and spotting was extreme giving a super contrast. Tummy very clearly spotted with also two necklaces and one chinstrap evident. A well presented boy with a calm temperament making him very easy to assess.
BENGAL BROWN SPOTTED NEUTER FEMALE:
PC HELLIER'S NEWTON'S MOONLIGHT SERRENADE: A girl of thirteen months of age and somewhat unhappy today. Head reasonably well balanced but for perfection needs more width across top to balance the length of her muzzle. Nose needs to be a little broader although muzzle is full and strong. Fairly well defined face markings. Profile shows slight dip to nose line, chin rather shallow although bite level. Ears rather large in size although with good width between and correctly set. Eyes large but a little bold. I think this is possibly due to her being worried. They do however have good width between and are correctly set. Body medium in length, sleek and muscular and carried on medium length, strong and muscular legs with large rounded paws. Legs show clear bars with some spots on paws. Tail medium in length, thick and even with a rounded tip. Tail marking shows as mid brown and very pale gold rings. Coat medium in length, not particularly dense but soft to the touch but a little open today. Coat colours a pale gold ground with dark brown medium sized spots that are moderately well defined. There is some greyish tipping on the flanks. Tummy shows moderate clear spotting and there are also two necklaces. This girl was well presented but quite unhappy which I think spoilt her overall appearance. I am sure she would show better if she could relax a little.

Short, straight, broad nose with slight bump. His teeth were rather untidy but at 12 years old this is not surprising. Firm chin, rounded muzzle. Broad across the face with full cheeks. Round eyes, light hazel in colour. Strong and well-balanced with deep chest, short thick legs, round paws and tail of correct length and shape. Coat short, crisp and quite dense. Very clear patterning, dense black spots on clear silver ground. Correct face markings, necklaces, broken spine line, good tail rings. Some linkage to spots on his flanks.

Well balanced overall with a longish body, firm legs, round paws and good tail. Good coat texture – short, crisp and dense. It is of medium blue and warm cream but not really well mingled.

2 BROWN’S ADVISH BIANCA BOMB (28) 09.06.06 Female. Round head with medium ears. Short, broad, straight nose. Level bite and firm chin. Lovely large, wide-open, orange eyes.

3 WILSON’S FENDPURR DANCING QUEEN (28) 03.07.08. Round head with medium ears. Short, straight nose. Level bite, firm chin. Squarish muzzle. Round copper eyes of good set. Well balanced and quite cobby with thick legs, round paws and good tail. Coat a little soft.

3 DAVIS’ KHANCOBAN MOVIESTAR (15) 16.05.08 Black Female. Another cat I judged recently but today I did not think she looked as good as the last time.

Long wedge with wide set ears, tiny bump to nose, excellent depth of green to his eyes of super expression and set, chin rounds off but bite is level, long neck and firm muscled body, long fine whip and legs. Excellent warm spicy tone to coat – a few seasonal ‘highlights’ to his sides, his coat short and sleek. Very relaxed with perfect manners. I understand this made him Grand. Well done. Later Best Oriental Adult and BOV.
AC ORIENTAL CHAMPION ADULT FEMALE
1 & GR CH MAULE’S TEMPANO ROSA DELALPINO (35) 30/4/07 A mature For White lady of very good overall type. Strong wedge with large ears - she does tend to bonnet them at times – excellent eye shape and set and of dark blue, small pinch and a little square to muzzle lines, straight profile, chin could have a touch more depth for perfection, bite rather messy with a few missing teeth, long slightly portly to body, whip tail that just needs another 1”, elegant long legs and neat paws. Coat short shining and brilliant white – she really was in lovely condition and very dignified.
2 (RES w/h) DAWE’S CH BARBECCO WALLISIMPSON (37e) 4/10/06 I loved the flashy type of this black tortie but she was rather fine and dainty I thought for her age. Long wedge, almost straight profile, slightly sharp to muzzle and chin is shallow, her bite fractionally over, lovely wide ear flare, oriental eyes of pale green, long neck, body a little short and rather lacking in substance – I wondered if she was back on the Bench after maternal duties? Spider legs and fine whip. Super bright red breaks evident throughout her coat and this although rather long was of good texture.
ORIENTAL BICOLOUR ADULT INTERMEDIATE MALE
1 (IC w/h) CHIVERS’ DANDY DES PETITES BAVARDES (48 40) 3/4/08 Seal point and white of fair type, ears of good size but need to be more open to base and they are set forward which unbalances the line, pale blue eyes of god shape, small dip to profile, very shallow chin although bite is ok, long body of good development, tail rather heavy and short, lacks the 1/3 white required I felt, small scattering of his base black forming spots to back of skull, white blaze extending across back of head, clear line along belly and white socks .Coat long but of good texture.
ORIENTAL BICOLOUR ADULT INTERMEDIATE FEMALE
1 (IC w/h)RUDGE’S ASHJOLEX SANDIMESE STORM (48 40n) 4/8/08 Very fine and kittenish caramel and white rather lacking in oriental head type – her ears although of reasonable size are set close and high, pale blue eyes of good shape, dip to profile, chin ebbs a little but bite ok, quite a pronounced pinch and also bump to back of skull, long neck, body needing to lengthen and develop, fine whip and legs. Excellent base of brownish blue tone, her white areas which made up over third were clear and bright in tone, - lovely pink shell tipped ears I noted. White flash to nose, on shoulders and legs. Coat of very good texture.
ORIENTAL TORTIE NEUTER
Considered for and awarded BOB to LEE’S CH & IGP WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD (37p) 27/5/06 A lovely lady and today she was much more relaxed which always adds to the complete package. Needs nothing further for me to add.
AC ORIENTAL LONGHAIR NEUTER MALE
1 PC & BOB PERKIN’S APRIKAT SUMMERHEAT (62 15 d) 3/11/07 Red self who was of overall good type and lovely coat. Strong wedge with ears that wee set following the lines – ideally could be larger.

Rather dark’ flat’ colour red evident – some surface pattern - his coat was of good texture and followed the bodylines, good furnishings evident.
Also considered for BOB TASKER’S CH &GRPR BUNDOOK OHM MAID (62 43n) 25/11/01 Caramel shaded lady who was not in a good humour today. Still retains super eye colour I have to say – lacks oriental head type and her coat was very ‘fluffy’ and dry – no topcoat to it, dark beige undercoat pushing up the shaft of dark brown/blue tone.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN MALE
1 & BOB WEBSTER’S JOMESE JESSE JAMES (32/1/) 6/11/08 Rather small but weighty seal tabby lad, Strong little wedge with small pinch, ears large and open based and a good set when he relaxes, excellent eye shape and colour – haws up fractionally today – tiny bump to nose, good chin and bite, short but sturdy body with a fine whip and quite sturdy legs and large boots to fill!

Very relaxed young man.
2 BARNES’ MOCHALI LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT (32/3) 24/1/09 Well grown young man with a long wedge and large ears that were unfortunately set close and held high, eyes of a pleasing bright blue set a little straight, tiny dip to profile, chin could be stronger, bite ok, body of good development and feel, long whip. Points well matched but requiring a warmer tone to them - the body colour also a touch cold. Good clear facial racings evident, thumbprints, faint leg bracelets, and clear tail rings for half of length. Coat a little long but good texture.
3 CHILCOTT’S ANUBIS RAVELS BOLERO (32/2) 4/1/09 Solid blue tabby lad who was a bit overawed by proceedings, short wedge with ears of good size but set close and held high, very large round eyes of a pale blue tone, dip and bump to profile, chin very shallow although bite level, solid little body with whip waypoints
Of dark blue – quite well matched, his pattern clear at present although the scarab is starting to ‘smudge’ as happens in dilute tabbies, coat colour a touch too warm. Coat of good length and texture.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE

Points show warm tabby pattern interspersed with breaks – this could show more brightness to the red, her coat short and polished and warm to tone.
3 MAULE’S FYFIANA SNOWLEOPARD (32/1) 6/2/09 Seal tabby with medium wedge rather square to the muzzle line ears of reasonable size but set high, eyes a little full, of a bright medium toned blue with paler outer rim, dip to profile, short plump body as yet commensurate with age, tail short and rather heavy.

Medium wedge with ears small in size and set close, eyes a touch full but of very good depth of blue, pronounced bump to nose, chin shallow, bite fractionally over, rather short heavy body and tail. Points of warm seal but rather blurred to pattern however it is obvious he is ticked base, which does not help the cause, heavily shaded, but warm in tone. Coat rather long and open.
TORTIE POINT SIAMESE NEUTER
Considered for BOB but not awarded ROBINSON’S PR NATHIFA DELICATEDREAMER (32b1) 20/6/07 I loved the type of this lady, a really lovely balanced little wedge with good top line however her bite is unfortunately clearly undershot which precluded the award. Points rather back toned seal, and though with the minimum of breaks these do need a little more brightness to the red. Lovely coat qualities.
AC BALINESE NEUTER
1 PC & BOB PERKIN’S APRIKAT SUNDRAGON (61dt) 9/8/08 Promising red tabby lad who was a bit of a grumbler.

Coat dark almost sound – rather patchy to sides with lighter areas to legs and chest.
I would like to thank Elaine and Lisa for inviting me to judge. I had a nice book and there was a lovely atmosphere in the hall. I would also like to thank my two Stewards, Anna Virtue and Gill Francis, who alternated between morning and afternoon so I wouldn’t have their cats while they were with me.

Quality glossy coat has required satin texture and pink hue ‘tho colour is seasonally shady today.
