1st Mr & Mrs Copley’s CH NEMOREZ TRESBEAU FEMME 68 43g Full Expression Blue Tortie Shaded Tiffanie, F, 10-03-2006
A very appealing girl. Large and lustrous pale yellow eyes set well apart with correct shape: lovely expressive slant to upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. Ears are of good size for her head, wide at the base and rounded tips with streamers but not tufts and set well apart across a gently rounded head. Short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle finish with a level bite, in profile her head shows a good depth, rounded brow, good nose break with a straight nose, jaw of reasonably good depth set in correct plane to nose tip. Medium sized body is of very good weight, strong chest and straight back. Legs are in proportion to her body with spoon shaped paws and correctly taller hind legs. Tail is just short to balance, of medium thickness and tapers to a paint brush finish. She was a mid toned blue with creams mingling well into her coat set against a pale beige background. Heavily shaded with M to forehead and a scarab evident but no thumb prints to ears, a diffused broken necklace, her mantle descends well down her body, she has stripes on both fore and hind legs, her spine line descends down her tail to a solid tip. Her coat was silky and of a very fine semi longhair texture; she had minimal ruff and plume today, no toe tufts either. A very bossy chatter-box of a character who had her say all the time we handled her!

Her ears are of good size for her head, wide in the base with rounded tips without tufts but set well part on her gently rounded head – which could be broader for perfection. She has a short wide wedge which tapers well though she did occasionally puff out her whisker pads today, has a level bite. Her profile shows a head of good depth, rounded brow acceptable nose break, straight nose, slightly shallow jaw but set in correct plane to the end of her nose. Medium size body has good weight, rounded chest and straight back. Her legs are proportionate to her body with dainty oval paws and taller hind legs.

She has thumb prints to her ears, M to forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines, a broken necklace, stripes to legs and tail, with good solid hocks to her hind legs, a spine line down her tail which meets a solid tip. Her coat has a super texture, soft and silky and lies very close to her body with super sheen to it. She was a little apprehensive but handled well – a very sweet natured girl.

A very pleasing Mau! Wonderful gooseberry green eyes set beautifully giving a very worried expression! Super ears set very well apart on a mature head, slightly shallow chin but a level bite. Well grown body of super weight. Her pattern was at its best and most defined when viewed from a distance; made up of smaller spots on the whole that occasionally merged but was most attractive with pristine silver and quite dark charcoal spots & markings. She had spectacle lines, scarab, thumb prints to ears super pattern well descended down from her neck. Solid hocks to her hind legs and tail rings. Very pleasing exhibit!

Class 636 AV Foreign Limit Adult
1st Mrs & Miss Pontello’s PONTABY SOGNASTELLA, 23, F,
A rather gorgeous girl but too upset to come out of her pen though she did let me handle her in the pen. Super rich deep coppery background with clearly defined ticking, a broken necklace, small hocks on hind legs. Just a lovely balanced head; gently rounded brow, moderate wedge, rounding to muzzle, with super eyes which were very expressive, wee dip to profile and lovely expressive ears, firm chin – not happy for me to check her bite. Her tail balanced and was free of faults it was impossible to assess much more due to her displeasure and my valuing my fingers.
Class 639 AV Foreign Radius Adult
1st Mrs Hawkins’ GR CH SAWATAO ARIANNAIDDWEN, 34, F
Gorgeous was my first impression of this girl in her pen – she has such wonderful large eyes like Mercedes head lamps that illuminated her face so well! Lovely shape to her face head on – clearly the double heart effect. Her chin had good depth but receded slightly but she had a level bite. Her body was compact but very weighty with good muscle tone evident. Super elegant limbs and neat paws, her tail balanced. Very deep blue tone to her coat and silvering is showing nicely. Very pleasing exhibit. Shown in super condition.

1st Miss H Newton’s SIMPLYREDS HELEN OF TROY, 84 16, F
Just rather wonderful – a regal blue veined hue to this wonderful Sphynx! She might well be the cat that launches a thousand ships ... Wonderful head, amazing frown lines to her forehead on her flatten top as my steward quite rightly pointed out like as Astrakhan hat. She also had strong cheek bones, pronounced whisker pads and a rounded muzzle. Straight nose, strong chin and good plane between both. Large ears and super large expressive eyes. Medium elegant body of good muscle tone, strong chest and straight back. Lovely whippy tail. Covered by the finest regal-blue down imaginable apart from the extra fluff to the lowest part of her ears which is permissible. Super well grown girl, very confident and very affectionate – my steward who has never met the breed before fell in love on picking her up! A very pleasing kitten who would have fitted quite nicely in my pocket.
2nd Mrs H J Kelsall’s PONTABY LUCIANA, 23, F
Most unlucky to meet the winner today in two classes! A very neat cat, super coppery background colour. Elegant head type; moderate wedge, rounded muzzle, level bite, rounded brow, large ears set well apart and body which was lithe but muscular. Super ticking and clearly defined facial markings: M to forehead, scarab, spectacle lines, solid spin line to a solid tip on her tail. Lovely profile and broad muzzle. Her tail balanced well – what a shame she was so grumpy!
Extra 2nd Ms Dunstall’s COLDENUFFORSNOW XANTHE, 83aw, F
Super confident girl who was full of the joys and another big hit with my steward! Medium sized head in proportion to her solid body, having a broad wedge with rounded contours, top of head was rounded nicely and forehead beginning to flatten, straight nose, firm chin and level bite. Alert ears which were a good sized for her head and broad at the base. Beautiful shade of blue to eyes, which were of good shape and set. Super muscling and firmness to medium sized body which was much heavier than her dainty appearance belayed. Legs of good length with oval paws. Tail balances well was medium thick at the base tapering to a rounded end. Coat was quite short, having good texture and healthy glossy sheen to it. Super pattern with absolutely minimal white covering on her paws which did not ascend up her leg and small white triangle on her face. Pleasing soft blue tone points with the lightest bluish white to rest of her body. A super baby.

A rather wonderful young Russian - super head type and angle developing nicely. Ears stand correctly tall and are set well, between a flat top of head, good almond shaped eyes, colour is still developing with more yellow than green at present. Good short wedge, strong chin and level bite, chin level to nose. Very elegant body what an impressive coat for such a youngster – left the imprint of my hand in it; my steward though it was a luxurious as her brand new carpet! Her coat is mid blue at present with silvery sheen coming along nicely, there were ghost markings to her tail other wise very clear.
2nd Miss Aggett’s MAGICAL FROG PRINCE, 33a 40 12w, M
What an adorable wee man – such a happy little soul who purred away for us the whole time! His had very promising head type, super wide muzzle, good width between his overly large ears (his head will grow but they are just so cute anyway!) and quite flat top of head already. Super width to his cheeks and a good strong stop, jaw a little shallow – imagine my horror at finding his bite not level today which was confirmed by the duty vet who felt it might be a developmental stage and be due to teething – let’s hope so. Wonderful kitten-fat little body; simply edible! He was covered all over with baby rex coat, but only had down across his top of his head, neck, shoulders and upper back. Could have wasted the whole day with him! I hope to see more of our little Frog Prince as he develops. Super wee chap!

Very well grown young man! Lovely head type, broad head, good ear set, heart shape there when viewed head on, but wedge was marginally long, he has a stop in his profile and a strong chin. Golden coloured eyes which are very large. Very well grown body for his age which was marginally cobby, strong proportionate legs with oval paws. Tail of good length, which was rather thick at the base, but tapering to a rounded tip. Very attractive shade of lilac – rich and yet very warm. A charming youngster who was happiest in his pen; shown in excellent condition.

Clear pattern with good colouration. Strong solid body, long and sleek, strong legs with round paws. Medium tail with rounded end.
2nd Mrs Nugent’s INAHOI SNOWJEM, 76b 30, FN
Unfortunately this cats had truncated ears and a truncated tail which the duty vet confirmed to be fault. She also had somewhat of a pronounced nose break and had type more reminiscent of a Burmese apart form her very short ears. She had pale blue eyes and a lovely pattern with very attractive colouration though. A sweet girl who handled well.

This cat had exceptionally large ears on an other wise balanced head, broad wedge, high check bones, gentle profile curve, slightly puffed out whisker pads, strong chin, giving a suitably wild look. Well shaped and set eyes. Long strong and muscular body. His pattern was exceptionally dark; intense rich coppery background.

He is lightly shaded and his mantle descend well down his body, he has faint thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines and broken necklace a good spine lien which carries along his tile to a solid tip. His coat is very clear, his legs appeared free from smudges and stripes though he does have solid hocks to his hind legs. His coat was very soft and silky in text lying close to his body. Shown in excellent condition and handle well, even cuddled up with a big purr despite the efforts of an extremely fractious
2nd Mrs Tams’ POOLSIDE CHEEKY RASCAL, 33a 30bs, FN
Very unlucky to meet the winner today – a super girl who handled well. Lovely head type, large well set ears which were wide at the base, flat top of head, wide at the cheeks, super muzzle with a good profile break only let down by a shallow chin – but had a level bite. Super expressive shape to her eyes, really evil slant to upper lids and fully rounded lower lids – excellent! Her strong muscular body medium in build was very well covered with a dense rex coat. She handled quite well but was happiest in her pen. Nice limbs and tail. A very pleasing exhibit.
