My thanks to Lynda, Elaine & the committee for inviting me to judge at the club show which ran smoothly and all seemed to be having lots of fun as ever at Yorkshire! I was very lucky to assist my esteemed colleague Jenny Cunningham today as we both had a light loading and found ourselves without stewards.

Class 702a AC Foreign Adult Female (5 entered)
1st Mrs Kemp’s GRCH NATZKATZ JABULANI 72 45sq F 26-10-2008 BCR Brown Silver Ticked Tabby Asian
An extremely attractive exhibit. Large & lustrous eyes set well apart with correct shape, gentle slants to upper lids which are enhanced when she’s feeling naughty and full generous rounding to her lower lids. They are pale chartreuse in colour. Face on showing a short wide wedge, level bite and blunt muzzle. She has gentle rounding between her ears which were set well apart, they are good for size, wide at the base, with rounded tips. In profile she has good depth to her skull, rounded brow; her nose break has good definition, straight nose line and rather short. Her lower jaw has reasonable depth which correctly aligns in a straight plane to the end of her nose, her chin has adequate depth. She has a compact body, with very pleasing weight for her size, a strong chest and a straight back, her legs are nicely in proportion to her body having taller hind legs and neat oval paw. Her tail was just short to balance but tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. Her BCR brown ticking distinct over her pristine sliver ground. She has faint thumb prints to her ears, a scarab to her head and an M to the forehead, stripes to her inner fore legs, a few smudges to the rear legs, hocks present but not quite as defined as I would prefer for perfection and showing a diffused spine line along her back, but it was solid along her tail and ended with a solid tip. Her coat felt like the finest silk to the touch and was of medium length and very close lying to her body. Shown is excellent condition and behaved very well today – just edible!
2nd Ms Murphy’s KALTES RHAPSODY INBLUE (33a 16) F
Rather elegant Devon girl with stunning golden eyes – excellent shape and set, super ears well set across and suitable flat top. Good width to cheeks and pleasing stop, china little shallow however.

A rather delightful and very attractive Mau with that super expression that is so distinctive to the breed. Nicely balanced but head of good type, with super profile, good tram lines and especially attractive worried expression to her gooseberry green eyes which have super shape to them. She had a level bite. A pleasing body for weight and muscularity with a delightful coat that had a clear and distinct pattern with super rich rufus effect to her ground coat colour which was very impressive. Elegant yet muscular legs, tail to balance and shown in excellent condition with a delightful show temperament!

Her coat was a dark slate blue mingled well with shades of cream and was coloured to the roots, her coat is a little long it does a lovely fine texture and is silky to the touch, lying very close to her body.

Class 1114 AC Kitten Never Won a First prize
1st Mrs Bryant’s TRIPOD (LH Red Classic Tabby) F
A very sweet young lady who positively enjoyed being handled and purred away for the entire duration of time together. Beautifully prepared, gorgeous deep red classic tabby pattern to her lovely coat which was super. Lovely streamers and ear tufts. Very nice weight but most importantly an absolute sweetie!
2nd Ms Swingler’s Mr Jinks (SH Ginger & White) M
A sweet little chap who was rather unsure of himself today and preferred to be in his pen. Love broad wedge and such appealing golden eyes. Charming white mitts. Rather lacked show preparation today or perhaps he had a accident on the way to the show? Unfortunately a little too skittish to complete with the winner of the class.
Class 1123 AC LH Kitten with Most Appealing Expression
1st Mrs Morely’s GEORGE (SH Lilac Point Birman) MN
A beautiful cat who was prepared very nicely indeed. He knows a few choice words but this class was judge on Expression – which he had a rather delightful and soulful expression across his china blue eyes. Solid body and pristine coat shown in beautiful condition.
