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!

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!
2ndMs 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
1stMrs 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.
My thanks to Helen & the committee for inviting me to judge at the club show. Well done to all those who dress up – I find it hard enough to remember my white coat! My thanks also to Viv for stewarding and handling all the exhibits and the judge so well.

A sweet baby boy. He had medium-large sized eyes. They had a good slanting line to the upper lids but his lower lids need to be fuller yet. His eyes were muddy amber in colour. Face on he had a short but medium width wedge. His bite was level. He had gentle rounding to the top of his head where his ears were set well apart. They were wide in the base and had nicely rounded tips. They were too large to balance to his head presently.

Absent Mrs Harmon’s MERINDA SARISKA 27g, F 26-03-2009
A dainty little poppet. She had reasonably large eyes. They had reasonable shape; a gentle slant to the nose in her upper and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in a head that is still developing and needs more width as yet. They were rich coppery amber in colour with a few flecks. Face on she had a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She had a level bite although her upper incisors where set slightly back of the lower set they did meet. She had a very gently rounded head, verging on being a trifle flat and ears that are set reasonably well apart but would benefit from being further apart. Her ears had wide bases, had rounded tips and were a good sized for balance. They had reasonable profile tilt. In profile her skull had good depth. She had a very gently rounded brow. Her nose break was defined, her nose line was interrupted by a small bump. She had good depth to her lower jaw which correctly aligned with the end of her nose and gave her chin good depth. Her body was quite small and it felt a little less weighty than I would like but it had good muscle tone. She had a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs were elegant and in keeping with her body. She had correctly taller hind legs. She had neat oval paws. Her tail balanced well to the shoulder. It tapered from a medium thick base to a rounded end. Her coat was marginally long but sound to the roots which is most impressive in a chocolate self! She could have stood a little more show preparation as her coat improved visibly just from steward’s careful hand grooming. She was an absolutely delightful character, full of the joys, very friendly and loving. I suspect she may well have not long finished nursery duties so was happy to make allowances for her stature today.
2nd Mrs Cragg’s WAKANDA GOODIE BLUESHOOZ (74a) F
A very pleasing Blue Tonkinese who straddles the line between Burmese and Oriental type exactly! Super head with a pleasing profile, suitably set eyes and ears which were large but in keeping with her head.

He has reasonably large eyes, his upper lids have acceptable slants to the nose and pleasing rounding to lower lids, they are set well apart and are pale chartreuse in colour with a mascara effect to the rims. He has a short but medium width wedge and has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced and are set as well apart as they can on this narrow head. His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, a good nose break and he has a straight nose line which is a too long for perfection. His lower jaw had acceptable depth and was correctly set in an aligning vertical plane to the end of his nose, chin needs to be much fuller for perfection. His medium sized body needs more weight, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint rounded end. His coat is short and has good texture, it is a mid toned blue with very nice silvering in parts. He handled well for us.
Just Gorgeous! She has large and lustrous eyes which have excellent definition to the upper lids and super fullness to lower lids and are set very well. They are pale golden yellow in colour. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a broad blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set very well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. She has a typical contour to her upper face. Her profile shows quite good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow. She has a very well defined nose break and a straight nose line, whilst her lower jaw has good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection her chin could be a tad fuller consequently. It is correctly aligned to the end of her nose in a straight vertical plane. Her body has good weight for her size, which is on the dainty side for her age and is nicely balanced. She has a straight back and a strong rounded chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has neat oval paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. Her coat is short and has a satin like feel to it. It is mid lilac tone with some pink casting, the yellow hall lighting was doing no favours to lilacs today. She was shown in excellent condition. She was a little shy but handled very well – such an attractive exhibit!
2nd Mrs Jeffery’s CH ISSAMEE KATSPELL SUPNOVA 27d M 25-08-2008
A super lad! He has large and lustrous eyes, his upper lids have reasonable slants to the nose I would like more definition still and good rounding to lower lids, they are set well apart and they are amber in colour. Occasionally he hooded over his upper lids which tends to spoil their expression a little. He has a short wide wedge, it tapers well to a broad blunt muzzle and has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced very well and are set well apart. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face. His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, his nose break is good and he has a straight nose line. His lower jaw had reasonable depth which was set back marginally, his chin could be a fraction fuller for perfection. His large body has good weight and excellent muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance – they are very solid and masculine. He has oval paws. His tail is just short to balance and tapers well to a paint brush end. His coat is reasonably short and has good texture, it is a pleasing tangerine red with a few smudges to his rear legs. A lovely chap who handled very well!

2nd Mrs Ferguson’s DULCAMARA MYTHIAN THEO 27b M 18-4-2009
What a happy chap! I think he must be going through a growth spurt at present as he was rather unbalanced in that growing kitten kind of way. He has medium sized eyes, his upper lids have very gentle slants to the nose and good rounding to lower lids, they are set as far apart as they can be at present and are muddy golden in colour. He has a short medium width wedge which is a little pinched today, he has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are large in size at present and are set as far apart as they can on his slightly narrow head. His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, his nose break was lacking definition today and he has a straight nose line which fell away marginally toward the nose leather. His lower jaw had acceptable depth and was set back, his chin was lacking due to this. His body has good weight and muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has neat oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a rounded end. His coat is reasonably short and lies close to the body, it is a warm honey toned chocolate with quite dark contrast to his face and extremities. Shown in excellent condition and having a super happy disposition he was pleasure to handle.

A rather immovable object : he just lay there making heavy work for my steward! He has large and lustrous eyes, his upper lids have good slants and good rounding to lower lids, they are set well apart and pale chartreuse in colour. They really did have a super expression! He has a short wide wedge, it tapers quite well to a blunt muzzle and has a level bite. He has especially good width at the cheeks. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced and are set well. He has a very pleasing contour to his upper face. His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, his nose break has very good definition and he has a straight nose line with minor falling away to the nose leather at the very end. His lower jaw had reasonable depth and was set back slightly, his chin could be a fraction fuller for perfection. His large body has good weight and muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has spoon shaped paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip. His coat is short and has good texture, it is a deep rich brown with a sprinkling of white hairs that do not detract in my opinion. He seems to have a zen-like presence and was very peaceful.

Very unlucky to meet the winner a boy with a super head. He has large and lustrous eyes, his upper lids have very good slants and good rounding to lower lids, unfortunately he tends to round them in anger, they are set well apart and are medium golden yellow in colour. They really did have a super expression when relaxed. He has a short wide wedge, it tapers quite well to a good blunt muzzle and has a level bite. Good rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced and are set well apart. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face.

His large body has good weight and muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has spoon shaped paws. His tail only just balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His coat is reasonably short and has good texture, it is a warm honey toned chocolate with minimal milk chocolate contrast to his extremities. Shown in good condition shame he was little grumpy today!
My thanks to Lesley & the committee for inviting me to judge at the club show again. It hardly seems like a year since I first judged at this show. I really like the lighting in the new venue and the penning sequence was a really helpful for a judge on his own, as my booked steward was unable to attend.
Open Classes:
Class 340 Asian Smoke or Burmilla Kitten
1st & BoB Mrs Bunting’s CHINATREE XCHARDI ANDERSON (72 43asq) M, 04-04-
A very well grown boy for his age. His muddy yellow eyes are medium in size but set well apart. The upper lids are a tad hooded, yet the lower lids are reasonably well rounded. His ears are good a size and shape for balance, being wide at the base with round tips and are set well apart on his head. He has a short but medium-wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. His profile shows a skull of reasonable depth, a rounded brow, a nose break that could take more definition and a straight nose. Although his jaw finishes in the correct vertical plane to the end of his nose it would be enhanced by more depth to give fullness to his chin. His large body feels weighty and has very good muscle tone to it giving a masculine appearance. He has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in keeping with his body having correctly taller hind legs with oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His colour could well have been darkened by the pristine silver base and suffered from tarnishing too, but for me it has a burnt toffee brown tone in a few too many in areas such as his head, down his back and there were hints of metallic tone in the areas surrounding his paw pads. I gave him the benefit of doubt on this occasion although I suspect his registration will eventually need changing to 72 43nsq as there are tell tale signs of the dilute modifier at work, but as with all Burmese colour restricted coats it will take time to be fully realised. He is evidently shaded and a mantle of colour descends well down his body, he has thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines, a broken necklace and a clear spine line which carries along his tail to a solid tip. He has a few smudges on his forelegs but does have solid hocks to his hind legs. His coat was well developed for his age feeling rather silky in texture and lying close to his body. He handled well for me but did not like to be out of his pen for too long.
Class 409a Lilac Burmese Kitten Male
1st Mrs Pointon’s AUREUS EL NINO 27c M 02-05-2009
A charming youngster and very well grown for his 4 months and 3 weeks and all important 2 days! He has medium sized eyes. They need more definition to the slant to the nose though the lower lids are quite well rounded. They are set well apart in his head. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a broad blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has a gently rounded head and ears that are set very well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and balance his head very well at present. They have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has reasonably good depth. He has a gently rounded brow. He has a good nose break which I would prefer to be stronger for perfection, a straight nose line and a deep lower jaw which give his chin very good depth, it aligns to the same vertical plane as the end of his nose. His long body felt pleasingly weighty and had good muscle tone for his age. He has a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs are elegant. He has the correct stance and taller hind legs with neat spoon shaped paws. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat has a nice lilac tone with some pink casting developing nicely. It was also a typical kitten coat, acceptable in length for this stage, whilst being silky in texture for the most part it did however had a slight harsh feel just towards the based of his spine. He was shown in superb condition. He has a super temperament;was very happy and inquisitive chap on the day.

2nd Prof Bradley’s MAHARANI BELLE DE JOUR 27c F 31-01-2009
Another lovely girl but rather frightened by the show process. I had to judge her in the pen as she was just too upset to be out on the table or in my arms. She has large and lustrous eyes. They have good shape; well defined line in her upper lids which were more horizontal than slanting and very fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her pleasing head and are Golden in colour. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set very well apart. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She has a gently rounded brow. Her nose break could take more definition for perfection, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw, that gave her a reasonably deep chin; it ends in the same vertical plane as her nose. Her medium sized body felt weighty and has nice muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are dainty and elegant with taller hind legs. She has neat oval paws. Her tail was rather short to balance. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat fits her like a glove and has super silk liketexture. In colour it was a somewhat darker, blue-tone lilac. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very sweet girl when back in her pen and enjoyed a fuss.
3rd Dr Giles RAWEKE IN HGH DEFINITION 27c F 09-04-2009
The baby of the class has something rather appealing about her but needs a bit more time to settle down and balance out. She has large and lustrous eyes which were set very nicely apart. They have quite good shape; her upper lids were a little horizontal and lower lids were very fully rounded. They are golden yellow in colour. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are not set as far apart as I would like at present. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are a trifle large to balance her head. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She has a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line which is a trifle long for perfection currently and has acceptable depth to the lower jaw which rather left me wanting a deeper chin, it does end in the same vertical plane as her nose. Her body is a little long but felt weighty and has good muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are dainty and have the correct stance with taller hind legs. She has dainty spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances well to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat is quite short for her age and has a good satin like texture and feel to it. I found it to have a lovely pink toned lilac giving a pleasing pastel effect. She was shown in superb condition. She was very, very sweet and I will watch out for her in future as I suspect she had recently had a growth spurt and will look forward to seeing how she develops.

Another very attractive youngster unlucky to meet the winner today. She has large and lustrous eyes which would benefit from a shade more definition to the upper lids and pleasing fullness to lower lids they are also set very well. They are pale yellow in colour today. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle – it could be a tad broader for perfection. Her bite whilst level was concave in profile in that both upper and lower sets of incisors are pointing into her mouth. She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set very well apart; they are a little small for my taste; wide in the base and having rounded tips. Her profile shows quite good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow. She has a good nose break and a straight nose line which falls away slight just towards the end, whilst her lower jaw has reasonable good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection, her chin could be also be a tad fuller. It is correctly aligned to the end of her nose in a straight vertical plane. Her body has good weight for her size and is very nicely balanced. She has a straight back and strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She also has neat spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. Her coat has a super fine texture and satin like feel to it, it fits her like a glove. It is medium warm toned brown with a healthy gleam to it. She was shown in excellent condition. A very pretty cat who although a little concerned handled very well.

A surprising well grown young man for his tender nine months and three days. Excellent expression in his large and lustrous eyes. They have excellent shape especially in his fully rounded lower lids and have a very good slant to the nose in his upper lids. They are very well set in his pleasing broad head. They are rich golden amber in colour. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has good rounding to the top of his head. His ears are set well and are in good proportion for the size of his head. They are wide in the base with rounded tips. They enhance the contour to his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. His skull shows good depth in profile. It has a rounded brow and a well defined nose break and a straight nose. His lower jaw has good depth hence his chin has good depth too and sits in the correct plane to the end of his nose. A solid body which has grown nicely, with a well rounded chest and a straight back. His legs are elegant yet sturdy and in proportion to his body. They have taller hind legs and neat oval paws. His tail balances well and tapers beautifully to a paint brush tip from a medium base. It has very good length to it. There are hints of powdering developing in his appealing pale cream coat which is really rather clear except for a couple of small smudges to his rear legs. His coat has a pleasing satin like texture to it and is very short. A Happy young man who was shown in super condition. He was evidently having loads of fun wrecking his pen!

This exhibit is really beginning to blossom. She has quite large eyes, good slanting line to her upper lids today but lower lids could be fuller for perfection, they are set well apart. They are rich golden amber in colour. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle, she has a rather untidy bite. She has gentle rounding between her ears which are set well and balance her head well. They are wide in the base and have rounded tips. They continue the contour to the outline of her head very nicely. In profile she has reasonably good depth to her skull, a rounded brow, a good break and a straight nose which falls away slightly towards the end, her jaw is acceptable but more depth is required for perfection, it does align in the correct vertical plane to the end of her nose. Her chin could be a touch deeper for perfection. Her medium size body is developing nicely, feeling weighty and muscular, she has a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs are slender and elegant. They are proportionate with her body and correctly taller in the hind pair. They have oval paws. Her tail balances to her shoulder, and tapers well to a paint brush tip. Her coat is short and feel silky to the touch. In colour it is a rich yet warm tangerine red. She handled well and was shown in excellent condition. Nice to see how much she has developed since I last handled her.
A lovely girl. Lustrous eyes they have the correct shape and are pale golden in colour with pleasing mascara effect to the rims. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle and she has an essentially level bite. She has a gently rounded top of head and correct well set ears of excellent proportions with wide bases and rounded tips which formed a pleasing contour to the outline of her head. In profile she has reasonably good depth to her skull, slightly flatter brow than desired, a defined nose break but her nose line has a slight bump to it and falls away marginally towards the end. Her jaw has reasonable depth; needing more for perfection which would afford her chin the desired fullness, it appeared just slightly set back today. Her medium sized body felt solid and muscular, having a straight back and a nicely rounded chest. Her limbs are proportionate to her body and were elegant, having the desired stance. She has very neat paws. Her tail was just short to balance, tapering well from a medium base to a paint brush finish. Her coat is short in length and lies very close to her body feeling like satin. It is a mid tone lilac with hints of pink casting in colour. Shown in excellent condition and was a little bit shy today but handled well never-the-less

Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which are dainty at present. She has charming spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end from a medium base.

She was shown is excellent condition. She seemed to be enjoying her day and was very relaxed about the whole showing thing – quite the charmer and very unlucky to meet the winner today.
Class 719 AC Burmese Senior Neuter (7 entered 1 withdrawn)
A really delightful exhibit who is a joy! She has large and lustrous eyes set well apart, having the desire slant to her upper lids and full rounded lower lids. Chartreuse in colour. Face on she has a very pleasing Burmese look; short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt finish, she has a level bite. She has gentle rounding between her ears which were set well apart and their outline continues the contour to her upper face well. Her ears balance her head nicely being wide in the base and having rounded tips. Her skull has reasonably good depth in profile, a nicely rounded brow, a good nose break, straight nose line, a jaw of reasonably good depth that lies in the correct vertical plane to the end of her nose, I would prefer it to be a little deeper to add a little more depth to her chin. Her body is a good size, nicely muscled with a strong chest and straight back. Her limbs are in keeping and very elegant, they have correctly taller hind legs and neat oval paws. Her tail is just a fraction short to balance to the shoulder, it tapers well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. Her coat is very short and silky to the touch. It is a very warm chocolate and well mingled with shades of red. She was shown in excellent condition and I find her to be a really lovely exhibit.
A real sweetheart. She has large and lustrous eyes. They have good shape; nicely defined slants in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well. I found them to be chartreuse in the hall lighting today. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a messy bite [For BBAC uneven incisors but essential level]. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, they have rounded tips and balance her head. They also have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which could be deeper to add the desired fullness to her chin. Her medium sized body felt very weighty and had good muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are elegant. She has the correct stance. She has dainty spoon shaped paws. Her tail just about balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a rather thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was also quite short and has a lovely satin effect. It is mid toned chocolate with minimal yet dark contrast evident. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very sweet natured girl – who preferred to be in her pen today.

A really classy exhibit! She has large and lustrous eyes which have excellent definition to the upper lids and pleasing fullness to her lower lids they are also set very well.

She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set exceptionally well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. She has a typical contour to her upper face. Her profile shows good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow.

She has a straight back and strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has attractive spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end from a medium base [FOR BBAC only: it felt slightly tensile towards the finally vertebrae]. Her coat is short and has a satin like feel to it. It is medium tone blue with superb silvering. She was shown is excellent condition. She was a little disturbed by the antics of some of her fellow exhibits but handled well enough. A real pleasure for this blue lover.
2nd Mrs Riddle’s PR OAKFORD SWEET WILLIAM 27f MN 20-06-2008
What a schmoozer! Reasonably large and lustrous eyes, upper lids tending to be held horizontally today and good rounding to lower lids, set well apart. Golden amber yellow in colour. He has a reasonably short wide wedge, it tapers quite well and has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced and are set well apart. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face. Skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, his nose break needs more definition and a straight nose line. His lower jaw needs more depth to give his chin better balance but was correctly set in an aligning vertical plane to the end of his nose. His long body has good weight and muscle tone, but I still feel he needs to fill out a bit more yet, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance with oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush finish. His coat is quite short and has good texture, it is deep cream in colour with powdering developing across his shoulders. A very sweet lad with a super attitude who handled really well and enjoyed the attention!
