A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
nd so to December… Well, it’s a sobering thought that
as I write these words, Christmas is less than 3 weeks
away. Where does the time go? Well actually, I know the
answer to that – I seem to spend most of my days (and a fair
few evenings too) working on this splendid publication you are
holding in your hands or peering at on your monitor screen. It
doesn’t seem that long since Halloween!
Then again, I spend all those working days dealing with
forward dates. As far as the OUR CATS team are concerned,
it’s 2009 already as we start work on the January 9th issue!
Well, there’s a thought you see – when the shops started
putting out all the Christmas cards, decorations, trees, gifts
and other paraphernalia at the beginning of October (and I
tell you, there’s nothing more incongruous in my book than
seeing a box of tinsel and baubles next to a Halloween skull
mask in Woolworths! Mind you, have you seen Tim
Burton’s ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’?), I thought I’d have
plenty of time to buy all the Christmas gifts and gubbins.
But when I ventured into the High Street to actually buy
them at the beginning of this month, do you think I could?
Not only were several shops sold out of what I wanted, but
some were even taking down the decorations and clearing
the shelves ready for the blasted New Year Sales! What’s
more, dear old Woolies may not even be with us any
longer, another victim of the infamous Credit Crunch!
So where am I going with this last-minute Editorial on
last-minute Christmas shopping? Well, maybe I’m feeling a
pang of regret that in our frenetic, commercially-driven
world, we seem to be exhorted to buy, buy, buy for
celebrations months distant. (And yes, I really did see a
woman buying hot cross buns in Sainsbury’s this week!).
Not only that, our treasured British institutions like Woolies
are being gradually whittled away. (Yes, I did know that FW
Woolworth was an American! Save for the pub quiz, why
don’t you?).
However…. It is nice to look forward to some events,
eagerly anticipate them and, of course, enter for them well
in advance – shows such as the Supreme and the National,
reports of each are featured in this and the next issue. And
they are, of course, great British Cat Fancy institutions, and
we’d hate to see them whittled away. So I was delighted to
hear that the National did so well at their new venue in
Bracknell at the end of November, just as I was delighted to
see that the Supreme seems to have found its groove again.
So let’s look forward to seeing both in 2009! And they’re
only 11 months away, which is 48 weeks, and about 22
issues of OUR CATS! Ooo-er! I’d better start planning the
pages now!
Oooh, quick reminder - Don’t forget your loved one’s
Valentines Card! Buy now whilst stocks last!

NATIONAL RESURGENT!
The National Cat Club’s 110th Show, Saturday 29th November 2008
hey came, they saw, they
conquered. The National
Cat Club defied their
critics after decamping from
London’s Olympia to Bracknell
Leisure Centre after making a
massive loss on the 2007 show.
Could they recover? Would a
‘slimmed down’ National out
of London work? Well, it did –
and how!
A bumper entry, achieved by the foresight of the Show
Management who extended the closing date for entries and
made exhibitors feel welcome. The end result was a
tremendous response form exhibitors who wanted to show.
Added to this a positive PR drive and the cat-loving public
came in droves.
Carol Pike, Joint Show Manager summed it all up, saying:
‘The show being the first time at this venue of course was a
learning curve, that is only to be expected, but the magic of
The National was alive as ever. People say ‘home is where
the heart is’ and the one thing we learnt Saturday 29th
November is the National is the heart of the Cat Fancy; it
will never really matter how big it is (of course we want to
grow and retain the numbers) or where it is, it is the magic of
the National that will happen wherever it is. It’s the history
of what the National is, the magic of the people who come
and of course the super cats and their owners who come,
some every year, some for the first time. All these key
ingredients are what makes the recipe to keep The National
alive and kicking.
‘We were all very busy on Saturday and would like to
thank everyone for their support. Our continued success is
mainly due to our long standing dedicated team who work
for The National year after year without whom we could not
hope to retain or indeed progress the National, to these
people we give out heartfelt thanks and sincerely hope we
can continue our hard working relationship – The National
team is something really special and is based on deep
friendship.’
* A full report of the National will appear in the 26th
December issue of OUR CATS.

oops! Those Gremlins have been at it again! The wrong owner
was ascribed to the Best In Show Kitten in the Birman Cat Club
Show Report in our last issue.

and not as specified in the original report.

caused.

GIVE BUDDY A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER
hristmas is a time for giving, sharing
and being with family, so spare a
thought for Buddy who longs to
have a family to share the festivities with.
Buddy, who is about 5 years old, has been
at Luton, Dunstable and District Cats
Protection for 8 long months now, having
arrived in March. For a cat used to the great
outdoors it has been particularly hard for the
dedicated volunteers to see Buddy spend all
of the summer in a cat house, waiting and
waiting to be chosen by new owners.
When he came to the attention of Cats
Protection Buddy was in a sorry state. As a
stray, entire male he’d obviously been living
a tough old life on the streets and was
smelly, dirty and had a nasty wound on his
neck that was desperately in need of
veterinary attention. Thankfully he was
rescued and soon started to get the care he
needed to set him on the path to recovery.
Thanks to the ministrations of Noah’s Ark
Veterinary Clinic and a huge amount of
patience and T.L.C. from dedicated foster
parents Jan and Neil Buddy is now a new
man. His neck is long healed. He’s been
wormed, vaccinated, flea treated and
neutered. All he needs to complete the set is
C
a forever home to call his own.
Because of his background Buddy is still
quite an independent sort of fella. However,
he is also a very loving cat and would thrive
in a home with either no children, or maybe
older children who could understand he may
not always want to be picked up, cuddled or
fussed with. Ideally a large, safe garden for
Buddy to explore would also help him to
settle in and get the most out of his fresh start
in life.
As Helen Balcombe of Luton, Dunstable
and District Cats Protection says; ‘Please
consider giving this handsome cat a home,
he is a very charming boy. Eight months is a
very long time for a cat like Buddy who loves
his garden, to be in a foster home.’
• If you can offer Buddy a loving, new
home, or would like to help Luton,
Dunstable and District Cats Protection
with fundraising, sponsorship or in any
other way please contact them on
[email protected] or

LIQUIVITE
Liquid Food for Cats and Kittens
LIQUIVITE is a canned liquid food, in
185g and 400g sizes, made from meats,
eggs and milk, plus a pre-biotic and fish oil.
Many breeders find that Liquivite is ideal as a weaning food for kittens,
introducing meats into their diet, but in a familiar liquid form. Its smooth
texture, with the consistency of a cream soup, helps the young kitten easily
make the transition to solids.
See Liquivite’s website at www.liquivite.co.uk for further information, and for
our Mail Order price list, or phone us on 0208 340 2926 to place your order Credit and Debit Cards accepted. Liquivite is also available at Cat Shows from
Purrsonal Touch and Paws for Thought, and from your veterinary surgeon.

THE GCCF SUPREME CAT SHOW 2008
NEC, Birmingham 22nd November 2008
That’s Why They Call It The Supreme – Part One
008 will, I hope, be remembered as the year
Report by
when the Supreme Show turned a crucial
corner. After years of dwindling entries and
ever decreasing public attendance, following the
departure of Pedigree Petfoods as the main
sponsor in 2003, this year’s show got back some of
Photos by
it’s ‘buzz’; that indefinable something that makes
exhibits and visitors alike get a certain feeling.
Finance has been the key issue surrounding the
Supreme, with the show making huge losses year on
year since 2003, and this being the subject of intense scrutiny within the Fancy. But
maybe in this year of the Credit Crunch, people were determined to make it work,
determined to have a good time no matter what the banks may or may not be doing.
Certainly there seemed to be no shortage of cash in peoples’ pockets as they splashed
out on a whole host of feline consumerables, from the latest kitty diet to the best in
designer beds to the swishest of cat houses. Nor did the charities go hungry either – the
Cats Protection stalls, along with the Blue Cross and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
were very busy and plenty of donations were being made by cat fanciers.

Jackie Beeson waves her wand to bring
some more magic to the Supreme.
Personally speaking, I can’t remember a year when the best In Show judging has
attracted so much nerve-wracking attention. When it came down to the final placings,
GCCF Chairman John Hansson gave a virtuoso performance in how to rack up the
tension, particularly in the Best Neuter class when he pointed at the winner between the
last two cats standing had a pen number ending in 6… They were pen numbers 76 and
276 respectively. Then he went on to add that the winning cat’s pen number “ended in
76…. But don’t all get carried away… I said ended in 76. The winner is…. Pen 276!”
The roar from the crowd was tremendous, and thus did Saffron Rabey’s superb Tortie
Tabby female neuter IGR PR DAIRYMAINE SARNIA CHERIE, bred by Jane Haynes take
his place amongst the top three for final judging… and was, moments later, pronounced
Supreme Exhibit 2008.
I managed to fight my way onto the stage to personally congratulate Saffey and the
other winners. I was struck by their totally unaffected natures – and the cats couldn’t
have been greater ambassadors for their breeds. That said, Saffey herself, tears of joy
streaming down her face, unable to speak through sheer happiness, was herself the best
ambassador that the GCCF’s Supreme Show and indeed the Cat Fancy itself could wish
for.
Congratulations to Show Manager Julia May, Hall Manager Kit Game and the whole
Supreme Show team on staging such an enjoyable show. What a day! What a show! And
like I said before… What a great Winner!
It doesn't get much better than this! Saffron Rabey hugs her Tortie Tabby

Commentary on the

Supreme Show 2008

Fantastic Value at
By
John Hansson, GCCF Chairman
Ireland, Sound Technician and David Edwards on the
Microphone, though not part of the Supreme
Committee their contribution is also invaluable and
have become fixtures over the years.
It is unbelievable just how many unpaid individuals
work at the Supreme in support of their hobby from
stewards, to table workers including the ring supervisors
and their teams, to those on Club Row there purely to
support and show of their breed, without you all it
would not work, your dedication make it a success, a
sincere and humble well done to you all.
The media coverage leading up the show itself and
follow up has been extremely positive, with a number
of film crews wishing to attend next year's show again.’
I am sure the entire Cat Fancy will wish our new
Show Manger for 2009, Mrs Celia Leighton every
success for the future and will see the show go
from strength to strength with more new innovative
ideas for next year, following on from its success in
2008.
It would be churlish not to mention the Supreme
Show Committee who tend get a mention as the
collective as opposed to individual, so to Kit Game our
Hall Manager (and the person who loses the most sleep
during the build up), Doreen Goadby Pedigree Section
Manager, Pat Randal NonPedigree Section Manager,
Shelagh Heavens and Brian
Gregory Ring Managers,
Betty Shingleton Finance
Officer, Tom Holloway
Treasurer, Marcia Owen
Show Secretary, Claire
Fullerton Publicty Officer
and of course the Show
Manager herself Julia May.
The GCCF Office staff led
by Jackie Beeson, who put
in such a lot of work both
on the checking of entries
leading up to the show and
their input on the day,
Ladies you have our
gratitude.

WANDERING ROUND
THE SUPREME
y brief from Mr Editor Esq. was to look at decorated pens, interesting
owners (Nick is already wise to the fact that I love a cat chat or fifty!),
and have a wander down club row – happy days! I was having a
browse around the show whilst folk were industrially setting up their pens.
I came across Mrs Weaver with Jasper; enjoying the finishing her pen with a
leisurely cup of tea. Mrs Weaver has been a passionate cat lover for years. She
acquired her first cat Suki, a traditional Siamese sealpoint in 1964. Her handbag at
the side was beautifully hand painting of with her beloved (sadly now gone)
friends. She had never grown up with cats, but had always been enchanted by
them. She acquired her first from a lady at work without her Mother being
unaware of what was coming home but it was not an issue. Suki led a privileged
life of best steak, what a lucky cat! She owns four cats - three Siamese which are
companions to her Oriental cinnamon, Pre-Premier Jasper who was born
27.10.2007. Jasper’s breeder is Mrs E C Wildon. I think any breeder would be
content to find out their kitten had found such a good, loving home.
M
their direction. It was a joy to observe. Zoë Amarilli has owned this enchanting
breed for seven years and has been a breeder for five of those. As this will be the
last Supreme before the Selkirk Rex are at Championship level the club wanted to
make it a very special celebration. The attention to detail to the club stand was
very notable –wrapped candy favours, sparkly butterflies, twinkling stars hanging
inside the pen. To the side there were photos, Christmas cards, brochures, all on
display. Even Zoë was sparkly! How do you describe these lovely kittens? 'Curlylicious' said Zoë. Very apt I thought. “How do you spell that?” I asked. “Any
way you like” was Zoë’s reply
(For more information about club head along to
http://selkirkrexcatclub.co.uk/)
Club Row
My footsteps took me to Club Row which was centrally located and easily
accessible. The clubs do a wonderful job and it was a great pleasure to stop and
chat to the groups of knowledgeable enthusiasts who are dedicated to their
various breeds and who give their free time to be at their stalls. It was even better
to observe visitors crowding around them, heavily involved in discussion. I loved
how each club had beautiful cats of their breed to admire, adjacent to their stand.
My attention was caught by some very playful Selkirk Rex kittens who were
responding happily to attacking two very feathery stick wands being waved in

Mr Smith and Mrs Allen are busy on the British Ragdoll Cat Club
The Supreme exhibit 2007, Sup UK & IMP GR PR Tianflex Full Monty, owned by Dr J Muir-Taylor, on exhibition an still looking
every inch the Supreme cat he truly is!
isiting the Birman Cat Club I came across this gentleman - Quernmore
Julius, born in 1993. He is incredible for his age and it was a pleasure
meeting his proud owner Mr N Porter. Mr Porter told me that he owns
four Birmans. I asked him why he had chosen the breed. He said he had wanted
a pedigree cat and liked Siamese. However after a visit to the Northern show he
decided he preferred the old style Siamese and that Birmans shared the
characteristics that appealed to him, with their solid build and similar Siamese
markings. I asked him about the Breed characteristic wise. He said they like to
be above all that they survey.
(For more information about this club and the breed please visit
www.birmancatclub.co.uk/)
ver to the Ragdolls and what a busy stand! A large group of folk had
descended and I waited my turn to have a chat. I was taken by the array
of goodies which were so attractive and such good value.
I warmed immediately to Mr Smith and his infectious enthusiasm for the breed.
Mr Smith has been a keen breeder of thirteen years. He was a moggy owner
originally and acquired Ragdolls because his two young daughters wanted kittens.
(He enthused so quickly it was hard keeping up). So I asked why Ragdolls? The
answer was temperament, size, variety, and their colouring. Mr Smith bought a
blue thinking to buy a seal initially but like so many other cat owners, the feline
clan soon multiplied. Then Mr Smith was fascinated by genetics and he breeds
what are called Pure English Kittens. Ragdolls originated from America and he
concentrates on the original lines brought to the UK. I asked Mr Smith about how
they do that given the original line scenario without compromising health and so
on. He said that the Club works hard, together to keep pedigrees separate and to
bring about diversity and Reds have added vitality to the breed.
I was attempting to chat to Ruby from Wiltshire, but she was too shy but did
show off her new toy dog that she had ironically bought at a cat show! Mrs Allen
was telling me about her boy Spiritdancers ‘Darcey’ who was born 08/08/2006.
She has been breeding for 12 years and this lovely boy came back to her because
of a change in the owner’s circumstances. It sadly happens. As a responsible
breeder she took him back and he is doing rather well having being awarded
Premier! Well deserved I say…
Time had flown and so I headed over to the first of the two talks which was on the
subject of applying (bandage) dressings courtesy of Claire Fullerton, Publicity
Officer for the show.
Lorraine Duffy is a registered Royal College Veterinary Nurse VN Cert Ed
MBVNA and is based in Cheshire. More can be found at www.peted4u.co.uk.
Lorraine’s demonstration covered some very informative advice on how to apply
dressings to an injured cat or dog. Lorraine also covered limb and ear dressings.
She explained and demonstrated the use of dressing materials and talked about
their preparation being key (and needing a helper to hold the wriggling victim!). A
tip from the top was using Cat bags to assist with the holding.
One thing that I was very impressed with is that her plan is to create some short
accredited courses as well as correspondence courses.
Returning to the OUR CATS stand I found a new representative guarding the
entrance. Introducing ‘Wolfie’ who was being raffled to support:
• North West Pedigree Cat Rescue
• Katz Cottage Cat Rescue
• Research into brain-related diseases.
He’s a rather plush and large individual! He is going to be making his rounds for
the good causes in the near future at cat shows. He seemed rather distracted
towards a tin of chocolates when I arrived!
Oh, this cat show malarkey - they are bad for my financial health – I end up
spending money out of my real and virtual pocket. I have to say the more I see the
more breeds I would snap up. I need a bigger house, pocket and a much bigger
lap to look after them all properly! Still, this was the Supreme after all!

CELEBRITY SPOTTING AT THE SUPREME
Report & Photos By
Carole Kemp, OUR CATS Reporter
ou always hope you might run into a celebrity or two at
the Supreme… Well, it’s a funny thing… As I was
getting my cat into his pen in the morning I was
suddenly aware of TV cameras around the Semi Longhair
section. On looking closer I suddenly realised that Joanna
Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) [Oh she is! I remember her as
Purdey in the New Avengers! (sigh) – Ed] was chatting to a
Maine Coon owner. I went to investigate when they had
finished talking and found out from Joanna that ITV are doing
a documentary on cats to be shown next year sometime. A
while later she was with another owner admiring their cat
and I again had a chat with her. I asked had she seen a cat
that she would like to take home. Her reply was that she was
overrun with cats already but there were so many gorgeous
cats around that she couldn’t choose !!!! She was at the show
for the day so I am sure that she found one in the end.

There was an amazing array of club stalls at the show this year
with many cats on exhibition promoting their particular breed. I
am sure that if there is a cat of the said breed at the stall that it
does help to attract people. Each stall had various amounts of
items for sale such as calendars, diaries and books on the
breed. I had chats with many of the stall holders to see how
their day was going.
Mel Swale who was at the Norwegian Forest Cat stand had a
very cute kitten on exhibition. Mel said that the stall had been
busy and the books and the calendars were selling very well
but a lot of people were admiring her kitten called Noynarock
Signysvalrdatter (Signy at home) who at 6months old was a
‘pocket job’! .
I also had a gossip with Di Taylor who had Brizlincoat Ferris
Wheel on exhibition at the Somali Club Stand. Di also told me
that there had been a lot of interest in the breed. They had been
selling some lovely Somali items.
Onto the Maine Coon Breed Society stand and was greeted
by a gorgeous Red Classic Tabby called Palmaine Gigolo
owned by Anne Gardner. He was happily sat in Anne’s arms
enjoying all the attention and oh boy was there a large crowd!!
At 6 months old he was stunning and he knew it. Now I wasn’t
sure that he would fit in my pocket and I don’t think Anne
would have let me try!
To round it all off nicely, I escorted that other well-known
celebrity AS Cat around the hall to promote his charitable raffle
to win ‘Wolfie’. That was an interesting experience in itself!

The Happiest Cat Award
My cat Grand Premier Shandatal Imablue Tiger a Blue Tabby
Point Birman was in the UK Grand class. Unfortunalty the
certificate was WH due to lack of coat. He went on to do a lot
more on the day though! First off he was awarded Runner-up in
the Best Decoration Pen Competition with the Norsk Skoggat
Club (OK he is a Birman and the Club is for Norwegians, but I
have both breeds and I am a member of the club).
He was also nominated for the Happiest Cat at the Show. It
was a total shock when the announcement was made just
before BIS to hear his pen number read out he had WON! The
award was presented by a Vet’s surgery called KittenToCat that
are based in Richmond, Surrey that deal exclusively with cats.
He was given a fabulous figurine depicting 2 cats playing. I was
over the moon it made up for him being WH on, I can tell you.
To top it all the local paper came round to my house and took
photos of him to be printed in the paper this week.

Judge's Critiques received at time of publication:
Daphne Butters
My thanks to the Supreme Committee for inviting
me to judge at this most prestigious event. After
seven years of being a ring supervisor, it did seem
strange not to be at the hall on Friday setting up
my ring. Many thanks to Greta, our ring
supervisor, and her team for keeping me right.
Special thanks to my dream team – Val Kaye, Kate
Healing and James Turner for being so efficient as
my stewards, and also to James’ girlfriend, Tammy,
who helped out on the day. I would like to
congratulate the owners of all the cats I judged.
They were without exception, beautifully
groomed and all behaved despite the different
judging environment. Finally, special mention to
Saffron Rabey and her beautiful girl, Dairymaine
Sarnia Cherie, my AOC BOB winner, who went all
the way to become Supreme Exhibit. One of ‘my’
cats going right to the very top made my first
experience of judging at the Supreme all the more
special.

were some superb cats to judge, and I am
indebted to my excellent stewards, Ian Thomson,

1 BOB UK GCC COLLINS’ IGR. CH. ADMEWBU BLUE

boy unlucky to be judged just after noisy, loudspeaker noises so understandably a little
apprehensive at first however it was a delight to
see him relax during his assessment. Slender legs

thickness and balance. Head shows a short, blunt
wedge shape, gently rounded dome, medium ears
continue the outer line of the head. Large eyes
showing the desired Burmese shape, pale yellow
tone. Strong chin, definite nose break. Just to nitpick on a stunning exhibit, I would have liked a
little more curve on the brow seen in profile. Fine,
glossy coat, very short and close lying, beautifully
prepared, a darkish, even toned, clear blue
showing silvering on the legs, feet and top of
head.
FEMALE: 2 entered.

and over the gently rounded top, ears of medium
size follow the outer contour of the face, large

generous depth in the skull, definite nose break
on a straight nose, strong chin. Clear, darkish blue
coat with very little paling towards the roots,
short, fine and glossy, showing silvering on dome,
legs and feet, a few flecks of dandruff down the
back however, overall a superb girl displaying
lovely type and a temperament to match.
2 JARVIS’ GR.CH. KYMIAN TAMSIN 16.09.02. So
unlucky to meet the winner today as she is such a
lovely exhibit with an exceptional coat, a soft,
blue grey with delightful silvering on the rounded
areas, and so short, fine, close lying and glossy.
Body feels firmly muscled, solid yet elegant with
slender legs, neat feet, tail of correct thickness,
could be just a touch longer, gently tapering.
Head shows short, blunt wedge shape, medium
ears rounded at the tips, clear yellow eyes well
shaped and set. Profile shows definite nose break,
strong chin. I would have liked just a little more
rounding on the forehead and dome, these are

presented in lovely condition, relaxed in the pen,
lively and athletic when handled.
BLUE CHAMPION MALE: 2 entered.
1 GCC BRIDGES’ CH. SANLIS DIAMOND GEEZER
21.03.07. A masculine look to this boy, ready to
grumble at first but he warmed to the gentle
handling of my steward and relaxed. Very heavy
and with a feeling of strength, large body feels
strongly muscled, medium legs with oval, neat
feet in proportion. Tail just short for balance, of
correct thickness with a gentle taper. Head shows
a broad, blunt wedge shape accentuated by heavy
jowls, medium ears widely spaced, rounded at the
tips, beautifully expressive, large eyes well shaped
and spaced, clear yellow chartreuse tone, bite
level though a little ragged. Quality coat, short
and close lying, fine and satin soft shown in dark
blue grey with silvering on the rounded areas. A
pleasing example of the breed.
2 HARRISON’S CH. MAJIK GIMCRACK 24.12.05.
An eager, lively lad apparently anxious to be
doing rather than sitting. Tall, slender body, of
good size and weight with a slightly hollow look
on the flanks, slim legs leading to small, oval feet,
tail just short, medium thickness at the base,
tapering gently. Very pleasing top of head
showing gentle rounding on the dome, widely
spaced ears continuing the lines, broadly placed,
large yellow eyes showing a faint, greenish inner
rim. Muzzle appears slightly long, accentuated by
this boy pushing his whisker pads forward! Mid
tone soft blue/grey coat, short and lying close to
the body, silvering on legs and paws, and on the
muzzle and dome. A super, friendly nature,
curious today, a real busy-body.

1 GCC BRIDGES’ CH. ARTRO BLUE DIAMOND
21.08.04. A gorgeously sultry expression on this
lady’s face. Short wedge shaped head with gently
rounded contours, medium ears continuing the

well shaped. In profile, adequate nose break on
a straight nose. Body feels heavy and well
muscled, of pleasing size, slender legs with small,
oval feet. Tail could be a touch longer to balance.
Fairly short coat feeling satin-like to the touch and
with a fine, close-lying quality, a medium, clear
blue-grey showing excellent silvering. A confident
girl happy to be handled.
BLUE PRE-CHAMPION MALE: 1 entered.

yellow eyes enhanced by dark eye-liner, showing
the required large size and wide set. In profile

on the muzzle, paws and legs. A pretty lass well

BOB GCC PALLISTER’S CH. PENWYNKATZ CRÈME
DELIGHT 15.10.06. A friendly fellow, long in the
body, slender long legs, neat paws, long tail to
balance, at present looking a little gaunt on the
flanks but I’m guessing this may be because he’s a
working boy. Short and blunt, wedge shape to
the head with medium, round tipped ears
continuing the line, widely placed eyes held in an
oval shape at first, later he showed the correct
shape. In profile, definite nose break and strong
chin. Short and fine coat, quite a hot cream with
some ‘bloom’ on the dome, fairly soft to the

muscled and firm, good stance on slender legs, tail
balances for length and thickness. Warm, cream
head showing delightful’ bloom’ on the dome,
close lying and fairly soft in texture, short

calm and relaxed. Head shows pleasing blunt
wedge shape with medium/large ears following

showing the correct Burmese shape, widely
placed. In profile definite nose break, I would
have liked a little more rounding on the brow,
level chin, slightly shallow. Well muscled, heavy
body supported on medium legs, oval feet.
Superb colour to the coat, I really did think about
‘clotted cream’ with an excellent bloom on the
head and down the shoulders, fairly short, close

breadth at the jaw hinge and over the rounded
top of head. Ears and pale yellow eyes show

type and temperament. Very large and heavy
body, well shaped, legs and paws in proportion,
well shaped tail just a little short, tapering gently
to a rounded tip. Broad, wedge shaped head
accentuated by medium ears continuing the line;
expressive eyes, large, correctly shaped and
golden yellow. Definite nose break and strong
chin in profile. Short and satin-soft coat, close
lying and fine, a warm cream with the desired

gentle.

It is hard to believe that this is the 32nd Supreme
Show and to realise I have attended all of them in
various capacities over the years! There is nothing
else quite like the buzz from knowing that some
of the most beautiful cats in the world are there
for my delight, to see, admire and handle. Once
again congratulations to Julia and the Show
Committee for a first rate occasion with the
tension steadily rising throughout the day to the
final Best in Show. A big thank you to Greta HallTamlyn and her assistants and to my super team of
Felicity, Yvonne and Alison (when Trevor was
unable to get back from Scotland) who worked
very smoothly and efficiently to get through in
good time for the very pleasant task of judging
the Best of Variety SLH Neuter from a superb
selection of 14 cats; finally I pulled out 5 stunning
cats from which to make my final selection: a Blue
Birman, a Lilac Birman, a Turkish Van, a silver
tabby and white Maine Coon and my fabulous

Mrs Janet Starr
There is something special about The Supreme &
I was delighted to be asked to judge this year.
Thank you to everyone concerned for a happy day
& congratulations on organising such a mammoth
event. The Siamese ring was ably managed by
Mavis and her team as usual, and they did an
excellent job of keeping us all in order – no mean
feat! My super stewards were Marian Saunders,
Anne Clay and Catrina Simpson - thank you very
much, girls – I couldn’t have wished for a better
team. You all coped wonderfully with all the
fetching & carrying & most importantly, handled
the cats beautifully so that they could be shown at
their very best. I hope you have all recovered &
that each of you will steward for me again soon.

Mrs. Carole Jones
Once again I give my thanks to Elaine, John and Lisa for
another very enjoyable Show. An unflappable and happy
team. Thank you for your hospitality, faultless as always.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN ADULT:
1 CC & BOB HOOKEY’S MIKKAR LADYLYNX (F): A very
pretty girl of twenty months of ago. Head a well balanced
medium wedge with excellent width across top, gently
rounded contours and correct muzzle indentation. Clear
and correct face markings. Profile shows slight nose break,
firm chin and level bite. Ears large with good width
between, correctly set and with tiny tufts. Eyes large, very
expressive, set well apart and slightly almond shaped. Body
very nice, medium in build, lithe, of good size and feeling
muscular. Legs slender and elegant, proportionate to body
with small oval feet. Medium length black hocks. Tail thick
at base and tapering to a medium length black tip. Coat
very nice, short, fine and lying close. Base colour a warm
apricot with four bands of clear ticking and a bright overall
hue. No necklet, no leg baring, no white and no grey roots.
A very nice girl with a lovely temperament, easy to assess
although a typical Aby with at least ten legs!
2 MORRIS’ SALADIN SHAHIDA (F): A girl of just over eleven
months of age and at present a little adolescent in build.
Head generally has good lines with good width across top,
gently rounded contours although muzzle needs a fraction
more indentation, as at present is rather straight from
outer base of ear to end of nose. Good clear pigmentation
markings on face. Profile shows fractionally long nose with
slight nose break, firm chin and level bite. Ears large in size
with correct width between, well set although lacking
tufts. Eyes large in size with good width between, a little
round in shape today but well set and expressive. Body
medium in build, lithe and muscular, just needing to be a
fraction more mature. Legs slender and elegant with small
oval feet and long black hock markings. Tail of sufficient
length to balance body well with long black tip, although
I would prefer it a little broader at base. Coat excellent,
short, fine and lying close with a lovely sheen to it. Base
colour to coat a rich apricot and showing four bands of
clear ticking and giving a warm overall impression. Three
broken necklaces, fairly heavy front leg baring, no white
and no grey roots. An exhibit shown in excellent condition
with a delightful temperament making her very easy to
handle.
SORREL ABYSSINIAN ADULT FEMALE:
1 CC & BOB HANSELL-ALEXANDROPOULOU’S ABFABY
SIENNA MOONDUST. A girl of almost one year of age and
very tense. Head a pleasing balanced moderate wedge
with good width across top and showing correct contour
lines and correct muzzle indentation. Good and clear face
markings. Profile shows correct slight nose break, deep
firm chin and level bite. Ears medium to large in size with
good width between and correctly set. Eyes a little too
round today but I do think this is probably due to her
unease at being handle, they are however correctly set.
Body medium in size, perhaps slightly plump around her
tum, but still feeling muscular. Legs slender and elegant
with small oval feet and medium length chocolate hocks.
Tail of sufficient length to balance body although it looked
a little thin in proportion to body size, with a medium
length chocolate tip. Coat excellent, short, fine and lying
close with a really impressive gloss to it. Coat colours a
bright apricot base with brilliant copper top coat, clearly
showing four bands of chocolate ticking. Two well broken
necklets, no leg barring although a little white isolated to
chin area only. A very nice girl, somewhat worried and a
fraction stroppy although not difficult to assess just happier
in her pen than out of it.
BENGAL BROWN SPOTTED ADULT MALE:
1 CC AND BOB WELLINGTON’S ZUGZOG ROMEO
NAMOURAI. A boy of almost one year and ten months,
very strong and mature. Head a broad medium wedge
with gently rounded contours, large and broad nose with
puffed nose leather. The muzzle is full and broad although
I think it needs to be just a fraction longer. Head set on a
thick and muscular neck well in proportion to body.
Excellent face markings which run unbroken over head,
down neck and onto shoulders. Profile shows gentle curve
to nose line with the slightest of dips provided by a small
bump on nose. Ears small in size, wide at base and well set.
Eyes almost round in shape and well set. Body long and
sleek, very strong and muscular and feeling powerful. Legs
medium in length, strong and muscular and showing
broken rings and some spots. Large rounded paws with
some spots on toes. Tail, although long in length is thick
and even with a rounded dark brown tip. Coat short in
length and whilst not particularly dense is unusually soft
to the touch, Coat colours are a pale gold ground with a
pattern of dark brown and a lovely pale chest, this colour
following through the whole of his underside, very nice to
see. Spot sizes a mixture of small, medium and large some
of which are arrow headed. There are also quite a lot of
‘dashes’. Coat pattern well defined, very distinct and
showing glitter. Tummy clearly spotted, one chin strap, two
necklaces complete an otherwise pleasing exhibit. A well
presented exhibit with an amiable temperament.
2 O’BRIEN’S KALUKIKATZ GALAHAD. This lad at just over
a year of age is at present is a trifle adolescent although
with great confidence and the most welcoming
temperament. Head rather unbalanced, in that it needs
more width across the top to balance length and also
needing more width between his ears. Nose is broad in
relation to width of head and he does have the required
puffed nose leather. Muzzle needs to be fuller and
broader, this may happen as he matures. Profile shows
gentle curves with a slight dip in the nose line, a firm chin
and level bite. Ears moderately large just needing a little
more width between although correctly set following the
lines of the face, head on. Eyes almost round, needing
more width between although correctly set. Body long,
sleek and muscular with a good broad chest and in
excellent condition, just needing to mature. Legs medium
in length, strong and muscular with large rounded paws.
Leg pattern excellent showing very clear broken rings with
spotty paws. Tail medium in length, thick and even with a
dark brown rounded tip. Tail markings excellent, a mixture
of rings and dashes. Coat short and flat, not dense, rather
harsh to the touch as against soft and luxurious. Coat
colours a bright gold ground with a dark brown pattern.
Pattern over back rather diffused, a mixture of long dashes
rather than spots but on flanks and down back legs very
clear medium sized spots and the whole body showing
glitter. There is also one chin strap and one and half
necklaces. Tummy very clearly spotted, in fact the pattern
here was better than the back. This is something which I
have not observed before and maybe it is a coat pattern in
transition. This boy was well presented, had an excellent
temperament and was a joy to handle.
BENGAL BROWN MARBLED ADULT:
1 CC &BOB KENNARD’S RAJIQUE MISS MARBLE (F). This girl
was two and three quarter years with a delightfully relaxed
temperament. Head overall presents as a short blunt and
rounded wedge and whilst has good width across top does
need more length to muzzle. Nose needs to be broader
although there is the correct slightly puffed nose leather.
Good clear face markings which flow in an unbroken
pattern over head, down neck and onto shoulders where
they flow into a moderately complex pattern. Profile
shows gently rounded brow and with a slight dip in nose
line, firm chin and level bite. Ears medium in size, wide at
base with rounded tips and correctly set. Eyes almost round
in shape, large in size and although correctly set she gave
the impression of having a permanent frown. Body
medium in length, strong and muscular with a very nice
feel to it. Legs medium in length, strong and muscular with
large rounded paws. Leg markings very distinct showing
clear broken rings with a few small spots. Tail medium in
length, thick and even but colour almost solid apart from
two broken rings towards end and with a short rounded
dark brown tip. Coat excellent being short in length, very
dense and luxurious and soft to the touch. Coat colours
bright gold ground with light and dark brown swirling
pattern, much of which is outlined with black. The whole
pattern very well defined. There is also one chin strap, two
necklaces and a moderately well spotted tummy. This girl
was very relaxed making her easy to assess and was worthy
of her Certificate on account of her coat texture and
pattern despite the shortish head.
2 SANDERSON’S DRASNIAN LYTTLE DOUSHKA (F). A girl of
almost two years and four months very similar to winner in
many respects. Head whilst having good width across top
was a rounded wedge with a nose which needed to be
broader and a muzzle which was a little fine. Excellent face
markings with good clear pattern running over head, down
neck and breaking into an interesting pattern over
shoulders. Profile shows correct rounded brow with slight
curve to shortish nose, firm chin and level bite. Ears
medium in size with good width between and correctly set.
Eyes oval in shape, large in size and well set. Body medium
in build, sleek and muscular and feeling fit and strong.
Legs medium in length, strong and muscular and clearly
marked with broken rings and a few small spots on
rounded paws. Tail a little fine at base although even in
thickness and with a mainly solid colour apart from two
broken rings towards tip. Coat short in length and
although not particularly dense does have the correct soft
feel to it. Coat colours are a pale gold ground with a black
random swirling pattern. The pattern is very well defined
but I would benefit from more warmth if it were to have
more colours in it. It does however, show very clear glitter.
There is one chin strap, one necklace and a very clearly
spotted tummy. This girl was well presented, easy to assess
and nice to handle.
3 O’BRIEN’S TIMBARRA SERAFINA (F). This lady at just nine
and a half months of age was overshadowed by more
mature girls. Head a good medium wedge, just slightly
longer than wide with a nose which needs to be a little
broader and a moderately strong muzzle. Overall head
balance just needs time to mature, I think. Lovely clear
markings to face, running over head and down onto neck
but the pattern is generally a bit heavy and solid over
shoulders. Ears medium to large in size, wide at base with
good width between and fairly well set. Eyes oval in shape,
large in size and well set. Body very adolescent at present
and whilst in excellent condition and is long and sleek she
needs to be more muscular. Legs medium in length,
moderately strong and muscular and showing a pattern of
clear broken rings interspersed with baby spots. Tail long,
rather fine at present and almost solid in colour apart from
one gold flash towards end of tail. Coat short in length,
not particularly dense at present although soft to the
touch. Coat colours a pale gold ground with a black
swirling pattern. The swirls are really good but I would
prefer more colours to pattern. The pattern is a little heavy
at present. There is one chin strap, two necklaces and the
tummy is very clearly spotted on a very pale ground. In fact
the tummy is lovely. A well presented exhibit, very easy to
assess and I think just needs time to grown and for her
colour to develop.
LA PERM ADULT INTERMEDIATE:
IC & BOB CRAGG’S WAKANDA HARRIETT POTTER (F) (80L
21b). This girl was thirteen and a half months, very well
grown and muscular for her age. Head a medium length
modified wedge, just longer than wide with gentle
contours, gently rounded muzzle and prominent whisker
pads. Whiskers long and moderately curled. Profile shows
flat brow, slight break to nose line, moderately firm chin
and level bite. Ears medium to large in size with correct
width between, well set with good furnishings and
earmuffs. Eyes large in size, a slight rounded almond in
shape, and set wide apart. Body medium in size and build,
firm and muscular with a good feel to it and carried on
medium length strong legs with rounded feet. Tail of good
length to balance body, thicker at the base and tapering
with moderately well developed tail plume. Coat of good
medium length with good curl to hairs which stand away
from the body and have a good springy texture and the
required unkempt appearance. A well presented exhibit,
of good type and easy to assess.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN NEUTER:
PC & BOB HANSELL-ALEXANDROPOULOU’S ABFABY
MAGIC MERLIN (MN). A lad of almost one year of age, very
well grown but extremely timid. Head a well balanced
medium wedge showing gentle contour lines and correct
muzzle indentation. Facial markings moderately clearly
defined. Profile shows slight nose break, a chin which
needs to be deeper and a bite which is not quite level. Ears
large in size with good width between, well set and with
tiny tufts. Eyes large in size, set well apart although today
rather round in shape. Body long in length and this lad
obviously enjoys his food as he is a little plump around his
tummy, although still feeling muscular. Legs moderately
slender and elegant with small oval feet. Medium length
black hock markings. Tail thick at base, tapering to a
medium length black tip. Length of tail balances body well.
Coat short, fine and lying close. Coat ideally would be a
little warmer in colour. The base colour is a pale apricot
and shows a clear four bands of ticking. This lad was well
presented, was without malice although very difficult to
unravel and assess due to his timidity.

My thanks to the A team of show managers Elaine, John

day. Thanks also goes to Mike Ralph for his faultless
stewarding, he is so good with difficult cats, they really do
respond well to his confident handling.
OPEN CLASSES
AC GD. PR. ORIENTAL NEUTER MALE:
IMP. GD. PC. HOLDER’S GD. PR. MYLYNN MAGICNOIR (62
36) 09/12/06. Gorgeous boy, very handsome indeed. Strong
head with excellent top line and large ears set to balance.
Good shape and set to eyes, although can hold wide at
times, colour clear vivid green. Excellent profile, strong and
straight, chin deep, firm and perpendicular to nose tip,
level bite. Comfortably covered body of very good length
long strong limbs and large tufted paws, tail needs a touch
more length to balance. Jet black coat with just the right
amount of silver undercoat, although well up the hair shaft
the smoking only really showing through where it is
shorter, such as under the neck and on the face, which is
particularly good for an OLH. Wonderful texture to coat,
length generally good, could be a touch longer down the
sides for perfection, but shows frilling under tummy and
the plume is very well furnished. Lurking under his
blankets today, not in his usual double pen and obviously
did not approve. Excellently presented.
ORIENTAL FAWN ADULT MALE:
CC & BOB HAGGAR’S CH. SUSPIRA SIMPLY SOLARUS
21/04/07. A dear boy of good type who I have given a
certificate to very recently. He is little changed from our
last encounter – including his very own distinctive perfume
of which he seems inordinately proud. Coat texture a touch
better today, not quite so soft, still showing his impressive
lack of pattern and soundness. Perfect temperament for a
full male.
ORIENTAL SPOTTED TABBY ADULT FEMALE:
1 CC W/H CHERRY’S CIATRA TABBIPOLKA (38) 29/11/07.
Very good for type and style, well developed with lovely
size and substance for 9 months old. Unfortunately the coat
pattern and colour was not correct thus the withholding
of the certificate. Stylish medium length wedge with very
good top of head and large flared ears well set but with a
tendency to flatten. Oval eye shape, setting good, colour
yellowish green. Good profile and chin with level bite.
Very long firm and elegant body, long slender limbs and
neat oval paws, whippy tail needs a touch more length to
balance. Spotted pattern lacks warmth of tone with the
ground colouring beige rather than warm bronze, showing
a fair amount of linkage to spotting particularly on the left
side and over shoulders, but spine line well broken. The
barring on the extremities was well defined but the body
pattern was heavily invaded with agouti hairs and thus
lacked clarity. Superb texture to coat, beautifully short and
sleek. Good tempered but rather shy. Excellently presented.
TABBY POINTED SIAMESE ADULT MALE:
1 CC W/H ESTERFORD HOWARD’S CH. MAPU MALACHITE
(32/8) 18/06/07. Lovely type to this lad but still a tad
effeminate and lacking masculine strength of head for a
male of 15 months. Nevertheless it is a stylish head with
wide top line and super sized ears set to balance. Love his
eyes, typical shape set and expression and very good depth
of colour. Almost straight profile, good chin and level bite.
Good weight and tone to long body, long limbs and tail.
Down in my book as Caramel, but I still have my doubts, I
would have expected him to be darker and more dingy in
tone at this age, he is still far too pretty a colour for caramel
but in the yellowish lighting I wasn’t prepared to fault him
on this. Pattern very good with many tail rings. Impressively
unshaded coat which does tend to suggest lilac rather than
caramel, coat texture short and close. This lad was in very
good condition but unfortunately his show preparation left
a lot to be desired with dirty chin that extended practically
down to his neck. It is a beauty competition after all so I
did not feel I could award the certificate under those
circumstances.
TABBY POINTED SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
CC HALL’S FURRYFACE DARCEY (32/2) 31/07/07. A very typy
and stylish young miss, still quite dainty for her age but
with enough weight and substance. Lovely head with very
wide top line and large wide based butterfly ears
excellently set. Oriental eye shape and set with super
expression and really brilliant colour. Almost straight
profile with small dip to nose, chin good and bite just about
level, marginal pinch to muzzle. Nicely covered slender
body with dainty limbs and long whippy tail to balance.
Mid blue tabby markings, showing “classic” pattern with
wide unevenly spaced tail rings. Coat length good but
texture a little soft and fine, and she did not do herself any
favours by fluffing herself up with pleasure. Lovely
temperament, a very happy and friendly lady, excellently
presented.
2 BOWLES-GOWDY’S MAFDET ROSE ROYCE (32/1)
08/11/07. A stylish little queen who ran the winner close,
still slightly out of balance at the moment whereas the
other girl, although dainty was the more mature looking.
Broad medium wedge with lovely wide top line and very
large wide based ears set to follow. Slightly wide but well
shaped eyes of excellent brilliant colour, nicely slanted and
set. Almost straight profile and firm chin, bite just about
level. Long weighty body appears to have slimmed down
a touch since our last meeting, long elegant limbs and neat
spoon paws, long tapered tail to balance. Fairly good tabby
marking, she would appear to be ticked based by her very
large thumb prints, single cheek tracings and indistinct
scarab, bracelets very narrow and close and tail barely the
one third ringed. Coat a touch fine in texture today but
good length and lying close, with very light ticked shading
overall. A pleasure to handle and excellently presented.
Judged for BOB & awarded HARRINGTON’S IMP. GD. CH.
HELLFIRE CASTASPELL (32/10) M 26/11/03. A very familiar
boy looking very composed and regal today, There is
nothing that I can add to my previous critiques, his
temperament was perfect as always, he is obviously a much
loved boy. Presented to perfection as usual.
Also judged for BOB PUMMELL’S CH. FURRYFACE ATHENA
(32/3) F 08/07/06. A mature lady of overall good type and
style. Medium length, well balanced wedge with good top
of head and large flared ears very well set. Oriental eye
shape and set with gentle expression and very good colour.
Some slight flattening of the skull above the brow line,
profile otherwise straight, good chin and bite. Well covered
body of good length and tone with long limbs and neat
paws, tapered tail almost balances. Dark but warm toned
tabby markings, pattern good with well defined scarab,
good thumb prints, single cheek ribbons, multi leg bars and
tail half ringed. Good close texture to lightly shaded coat.
Very shy but sweet tempered, beautifully presented.
TORTIE POINTED SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
Judged for BOB only and awarded KNOWLSON’S GD. CH.
DRESTOTHRIL DANCELOT (32b1) 03/06/06. Another very
familiar friend, super type and style with a wicked
temperament that gives her that fabulous “make my day”
look. However today I think she meant it and we really did
have a limited time to assess her before putting her back in
her pen very smartly. Beautifully presented
BLUE POINT SIAMESE NEUTER MALE:
PC & BOB SIMPSON’S GD. PR. SHERMESE TOO TOO PATOU
04/04/07. A very stylish boy who I have handled many times
and given high awards to in the past. He really does have
some excellent qualities, his type is super and his points and
eye colour are very good. I would like him to be a touch
more masculine and he does have a bit of a bump on the
profile between the eyes, but overall he is a quality cat who
is a joy to handle – although he does tend to dribble down
your neck. Presented to perfection as always.
MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE SELF POINTED ADULT:
1 SIMPSON’S SOWHYNOT TRICKNTREAT (24c) F 13/10/06.
Overall a well balanced lady. Points colour a touch on the
blue side but lighting not good today, eye shape and
setting good. Won the class on maturity.
2 HALL’S FURYFACE FONTEYN (24) F 31/07/07. This lady is
very stylish but needs time to mature, and one or two
minor things put her down to second today, namely, her
eye colour could be better for a seal and she was badly
brindled on the mask. Points colour good with nice warm
tones. Should improve as she matures.
AV DEBUTANTE ADULT:
1 BOWLES-GOWDY’S MAFDET THEJAZZSINGER (24) F
25/05/06. Very stylish and mature, I liked this girl very
much. Points dark and dense but showing some warmth,
her eye colour was very good and her expression very
haughty. She is very shaded but has sufficient contrast.
2 WILLIAMS’ AMYDAY LUCKY CHARM (24) F 07/11/07. This
lady does have potential, she has lovely type with broad
head and huge flared ears, but needs to grow. She is like a
large kitten and at the moment she does have some
problems, her profile is still quite uneven and her bite is
overshot. Points and eye colour very good.
AV ARISTOCRAT ADULT:
1 SIMPSON’S SOWHYNOT TRICKNTREAT (24c) F 13/10/06
2 TARBOX’S TIJANMEEK MCLAREN (37fn) M 23/08/07. I do
like this chap but he is still like a big puppy and needs to
fine down and muscle up. His type is very good, he has
good green eyes, and his coat is impressive for colour,
soundness and the minimum of tabby ghosting. Handles
well.
AC ORIENTAL/ORIENTAL LONGHAIR SELF (14WKS – 6
MONTHS) KITTEN:
1 PARTRIDGE’S NUTROSTAR SECRETLOVE (37) F 30/04/08. A
dainty wee babe not a lot to her at the moment but
promising for type. She does have a small depression to the
skull at present but hopefully that will straighten as she
grows. Coat sound. I preferred her type to the other girl.
2 BRINDLEY’S SHADOWSQUAD LIBERTY (37) F 17/03/08.
Somewhat older and better grown than the winner but the
head is a touch narrow for my taste and she tends to hold
her ears rather upright. Eye shape a touch full but colour
okay. Long tail has a small defect at the tip.
AC ORIENTAL/ORIENTAL LONGHAIR SELF (6 – 9 MONTHS)
KITTEN:
1 HALL’S FURRYFACE SCHNEEWITTCHEN (35) F 05/01/08. I
loved the type and style of this female, she has a wonderful
head, but she is small for 8 months. Having said that, she is
well covered and of good weight for size so hopefully she
will develop as she matures. Nice to see deep eye colour in
a White for a change.
AC ORIENTAL/ORIENTAL LONGHAIR BREEDERS KITTEN:
1 HALL’S FURRYFACE SCHNEEWITTCHEN (35) F 05/01/08
2 HAGGAR’S SOLARUS FUNNYHONEY (37y) F 21/03/08.
Most attractive for colour and pattern with the marked
tabby ghosting that is often seen with cinnamon series
torties. Type good with lovely clear green eyes. Has a small
defect at the tip of the tail.
3 ELLIS’S ROUJASMA SILVETIGA (62 43s) M 22/03/08. Very
good for type and with the typical “fat nose” and fluted
hairs at the base of the ears that I like to so much. Not too
sure about his pattern at present, it is fairly diffuse but goes
almost down to the roots, which is not what you expect in
a silver cat, particularly a longhair. I think it is a case of
watch this space.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE TABBY, TORTIE-TABBY POINTED
(14WKS – 6 MONTHS) KITTEN:
1 BOWLES-GOWDY’S MAFDET ULTRAVIOLET (32b8) F
23/05/08. Ultra is a good name, ultra typy she certainly is
with huge ears dominating the head at present Rather
diddy but weight appropriate to size, her colour is
promising, lilac-based caramel tortie and showing the
desired sludgy tones already. Tail very whippy and string
like. Small in size but big in confidence….
2 SIMPSON’S SHERMESE YESTERDAYS DREAMS (32/1) F
16/05/08. Promising baby, ran winner close. Well grown
with stylish head, large ears and very good eye colour.
Promising tabby markings though almost back rather than
seal at present. Another confident baby.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE TABBY, TORTIE-TABBY POINTED (6
– 9 MONTHS) KITTEN:
1 KNOWLSON’S DRESTOTHRIL VIVA-LA-DIVA (32/1) F
19/02/08. This baby had the type, style and expression that
I personally like. I would just like her to be bigger for her
age, although her weight is appropriate to her size. Tabby
markings look to be ticked based from her coat shading
and indistinct head markings. Perfect temperament.
AC ORIENTAL/ORIENTAL LONGHAIR NON-BREEDERS
NEUTER:
www.ourcats.co.uk
1 AGGETT’S PR. SHERMESE STILLWATERS (35) MN 09/09/06.
An elegant and stylish boy beautifully prepared and
presented with pristine white coat of very good length and
texture. Eye shape set and colour very good. Shame he is a
bit nervous
2 WEAVER’S SUNJADE SKIPPER (37k) MN 27/10/07. This boy
is impressive for type, strength (given his age), and coat
qualities. Lovely warm toned cinnamon with the bare
minimum of ghosting and with excellent soundness. His
eye colour is excellent, almost emerald and so attractive
against the coat colour. It is such a pity his temperament is
uncertain and makes him difficult to handle.
3 CLEMENTS’ LUNATORA SILVERMINSTREL (43bs) MN
14/08/07. A very sweet boy of good overall type and good
ticked based shaded coat pattern, although he was still
showing a fair amount of tarnishing to the muzzle and
forepaws today.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE SELF POINTED NEUTER:
1 TALBOT’S PR. MORALYN RED ARROW (32a) MN 04/03/07.
An endearing chap of good type and style, head well
balanced but could be a touch finer in the muzzle. Points
colour good and vibrant in tone and his eye colour is good.
In excellent condition and lovely to handle.
AV NOVICE NEUTER:
1 WEAVER’S SUNJADE SKIPPER (37k) MN 27/10/07
Jonathon Trotter
AC BURMESE CHAMPION MALE:
GR. CH. MOORE’S GR. CH. ANOKHI BOY GEORGE 27C M
6.3.07. A young Burmese whose super type I have admired.
A really good head with excellent gentle rounding on top
and with ears so well set being medium small and side wide
on the head. The excellent eyes were typical being well
rounded to the bottom lid and a lovely curve to the bottom
lid. The nose break was so good and just so correct. The
chin was a little lacking in depth. The body was firm and
well muscled. The legs were of good length and ended in
almost spoon-shaped feet which were appropriate for his
age and sex. The tail was just a little short for balance. The
coat was of good length and texture and it lay so well to
the body with an even toning of dove-grey. What an
excellent temperament for which he gained full marks.
Shown in excellent condition and most worthy of this high
award.
RES. GR. CH. KENNARD’S GR. CH. MAINMAN KISSANOVA
27 M 6.4.07. An old friend I have met before and who was
unlucky to meet the winner to day. He too, is worthy of the
top award. A good head with good width on top and with
really good ears of medium-small size set so well on the
head. The eyes today look acceptable though he did tend
to hold them rather open. They had good width between
and were of good size. The nose break was good and the
nose straight with a chin of acceptable depth. The coat had
and excellent gloss and lay so well being short and fine.
There were a scattering of white hairs which detracted a
little from which was an almost perfect coat. The top of
the head above the brow just needed to a little more
rounding appearing a little flatter. The legs were of
acceptable length and were well muscled and the tail was
just a little short for length. An attractive boy overall.
AC BURMESE CHAMPION ADULT FEMALE: (A large class of
nine girls with some real quality).
1 GR. CH. ROSEAMBUR FLIGHTOF FANCY 27B 15.10.03.
We have met before and a really quality girl from such a
good class of girls. A really good size for a female. A
wonderful head showing excellent balance and typical
feminine type. Good gentle rounding on top with
excellent ears of good size and shape set so well on the
head slightly more to the sizes than on top. There was a
gentle rise from the brow over the head and the nose
break was of excellent depth and definition. The chin was
of acceptable depth below a straight nose. The body was
firm and well muscled. The legs were muscled but slim and
the feet were spoon-shape as required. The tail was
excellent for shape and length. The coat was a lovely toned

body. Shown in excellent condition.

short head of good gentle rounding over the top with
good space between well set ears which were of good

and very expressive and typically. They were well set and

and typical curving into the tear duct to give excellent eye
shape. A good body which was well muscled and of good
size. The legs were well muscled yet slim and with feet

and of good texture. Shown well.
ASIAN TABBY ADULT:
BOB WOODLEY’S GR. CH. BELLABONNY–E JOHNNY
BEGOOD. I have met this chap before and he continues to
impress. Overall a good head if a little flatter on top. The
ears were well set on the head with good width at the base
and with pleasing forward tilt. There was good width
between the eyes which were of good size and lovely
shape and so typical though they were quite pale with a
hint of what appeared to be blue. The nose break was
good though he muzzle was just a little finer than I would
have liked. The chin was of pleasing depth. The body had
good muscle tone. The legs were acceptable for shape and
muscle with good spoon-shaped feet. The tail was good
for balance and appeared to have a tiny pip at the end.
Shown in good condition.
TONKINESE ADULT:
1 & CC CASE’S GR. CH. FECHELDEE CHAILAI TITANYA 74C
20.05.02. A very attractive girl. We have met before and
she is still so impressive. A good balanced head with typical
front profile showing inverted equilateral triangle. There
was a moderately proportioned wedge with a muzzle that
was neither pointed nor square. There was a slight whisker
pinch. The nose beak was slight. The chin was of pleasing
depth. The ears carried the outer edge of the face so well.
The eyes were of really good shape being lustrous with our

line slanted down towards the nose. The lover line was well
rounded. The eyes colour was greenish blue. The body was
of good size medium and well muscled but elegant, it was

shape. The colour was a lovely pastel lilac with slight
darkening to the points. The texture was short and fine and
it lay so well. Presented well for the show.
2 MACEY’S FECHELDEE DAISIE-MAY 74P F 1.12.06. An
attractive Tonkinese girl who could be worthy of a CC. A
good head with balance and quite typical for moderately
proportioned wedge. There was pleasing width across the
top and the ears were so well placed on the head thought
I would have preferred to have a little more width for
perfection. There was a slight dip in the profile and a chin
of pleasing depth. The eyes were held a little round and
she did not seem to relax then into the desired oval shape.
They were of good size and in greenish blue. The body
was firm and well muscled. There was a pleasing rounding
to the chest. The legs were slim and of good length yet
showing good muscle tone. The feet were oval. The tail

BENGAL BROWN MARBLED KITTEN:
MIDDLETON’S ADATESH CARAMEL CUTIE 76 20 F 15.5.08.
A small and young girl but of good type and with some
very good attributes. The head was of good shape showing
good width on the top and though they ears were held a
little higher than perfection they were of good shape. The
eyes were quite typical and were almost round just
marginally oval and of good size without being bold in a
muddy greenish colour. The muzzle had a slight pinch and

definition in the coat. There were clear spectacles around
the eyes. There was a well defined ‘M’. There was clear
mascara markings and blotchy shoulder streaks. The

clearly unlike a classic tabby. The stomach was spotted. The
tail was ringed with a solid tip. Shown in good condition.
BENGAL SNOW SPOTTED KITTEN:
BENNETT’S AFFECTIONATE MOONSTONE 76A 30 F 17.4.08.
A very attractive young female of good type. A good
width to the head with a medium wedge with rounding to
the contours, slightly longer than but with higher cheek

were very good for set and had good width at the base.
The eyes were almost rounded and were of good size. The
bite was good. The body was firm and had good muscle
tone. The head was just a little longer for perfection and I
would like her a little fuller in the muzzle. The eye rims,
lips and nose leather were outlined in black. The ground

defined and showed good contrast. There was glitter in the
coat. The texture was good and the coat was close and it

There were stripes on the legs. The tail was banded. An
attractive girl with potential! Shown in good condition.
SINGAPURA KITTEN:
PENFORL’S KWANSAN NUTIKITI NALA 77 F 17.4.08. This
was a beautiful little girl. Lovely rounded skull on top and
short blunt muzzle with width. A good dip in the profile

open at the base. The outer line carried the lines of the
head and were just slightly wide of parallel. The eyes were

two banding on the coat. The base colour was pale ivory
and it was free of any dark areas near the skin. The outer
front legs were free of barring. The cheetah lines extended
from the inner corner of the eye and were well defined.
There was inner front legs smudging. There was dark
pigmenting to the outline of the nose and eyeliner as
required. There was some slight smudging on the rear legs.
The paws pads were brown with brown spurs on lower
back of hind legs. Shown in good condition and well
presented.
EGYPTIAN MAU KITTEN MALE:
1 W/H BARRETT AND NEESON’S KEVALESJONDOR JACBO
78 36 MN 21.3.08. A strong well grown of good size who
showed excellent muscle tone. He has a slightly rounded
wedge without flat planes. The profile showed a good
gentle contours rising from the bridge of the nose to the
forehead. The muzzle was generally good though there
was a slight pinch and I would have preferred it a little
more rounded. The ears were acceptable for overall shape
having width at the base with a little flair and with
reasonable width between them. However I thought them
just a little small. The eyes were rounded and smaller than
desired. The upper line of the eyes did not quite possess
that set required by the standard. The chin was of
acceptable depth and the bite was good. The coat was of
excellent quality it was short and fine and it lay well. It has
a beautiful sheen to it. Two bands of ticking were seen.
The definition of the spotting was just appreciable in the
poor hall lighting. The spots were random and varied. The
underside was spotted. There was a broken necklace and
the cheetah lines were better defined as was the ‘M’ on
the forehead. The legs were striped as was the tail which
was of good overall shape and length. The legs were slim
and the in proportion to the body. The feet were small and
almost rounded. Shown in good condition.
EGYPTIAN MAU KITTEN FEMALE:
1 KEVALESJONDOR MARTINAJO 78 30S F 21.3.08. An
attractive kitten and overall had a good balance of type
and coat. She possessed a good look, showing a slightly
rounded wedge to the head which was of medium length.
Perhaps if anything it was just a tiny bit short. The ears
were well set on the head of good medium size and they
had width at the base and were moderately pointed. They
had good width between and were well cupped. The eyes
were very good size being large and almost almond
shaped. Their setting beneath a level brow with lower eye
lid slant was good. This gave her that almost ‘worried’
look. There was a pleasing dip in the profile with just a hint
of a bump on the nose. The nose had good uniform width.
The chin was level and of good depth. The body was of
good muscle tone and was of good weight for size. The
base coat a pale with a good silvering and without too
much ticking in evidence which increased the contrast with
the spots so well. The spots were varied and well defined.
The tummy was spotted. The head has good defined
patterns with a well marked ‘M’ and complex scarab
leading to lines over the head which broke into spots on
the upper shoulders. There was a broken necklace. The
slim yet muscular legs were striped and the feet which
showed pale silver were well shaped. An attractive girl and
shown well.
2 WICKS MEMPHIS AFRIKAISI 79 30S F 9.3.08. This girl had
a nice balanced head. The top of head showed good width
across it. The ears were of good size and were wider at the
base, set back and well cupped. They sat so well on the
head. The eyes were of good shape and of good size being
almost almond shaped with a level line to the brow. She
almost achieved that ‘worried’ look so desirable. The
19
muzzle was just a little pinched and lacking that desirable
flow into the contours of the head and the necessary
rounded look. The coat was of good texture and it lay well
to the body. It was palish with some agouti ticking in the
coat though the contrast with the spotting was overall
pleasing. The spots were varied in size and shape. The head
showed a well defined ‘m’ and scarab and the lines over
the head broke into spots on the shoulders. The mascara
lines were well defined as was the broken necklace. The
body was well muscled and quite firm and of moderate
build. The legs were slim and muscular and ended in almost
rounded paws. The tail was of medium length and tapered
slightly.
3 BARRATT AND NEESON’S KAVALESJONDOR ANJUME 78
30S F 21.3.08. A very attractive kitten for type with a lovely
balance head and quite as desired by the standard. A good
slightly rounded head of medium length. There was a
gentle rise over the nose to the forehead. She had a good
muzzle with gentle rounded contours with a firm chin and
bite. She did appear to have that ‘worried’ look with a
good setting to the eyes which were of good shape and
quite like rounded almonds. They were set straight in the
head with a slight slant to the lower lid. They were a
muddy green at the moment. The ears were of medium
size and with a good width at the base and set well on the
head continuing the lines of the head. The body was firm
and well muscled with good weight. The legs were slim but
well muscled and the feet were almost rounded. The tail
was of good length and well shaped, tapering well. The
coat showed pleasing definition of spotting which of
various sizes and shape including elongated spots but well
separated. The base coat was a little darker than desired
and showed more agouti ticking reducing the contrast
between the spots and the base coat. There was however
no tarnishing. There was a slightly darker toned silver on
the legs due to this ticking. The usual features of ‘M’ and
mascara lines, broken necklace were well defined. A loved
her type but her base coat was, at this time just a little
darker than required. Shown in very good condition.
4 WICK & WICK’S CHANTINA AMISI OF MEMPHIS 78 30S F
21.4.08. This girl was over all good type though her head
type did show a rather a rather finer muzzle than the
standard required. Her eyes were of good overall shape
and set. Her ear set was acceptable and showed a typical
and desirable appearance. There was a slight dip in the
profile leading to a finer muzzle. The chin was of
acceptable depth. The coat was a rich slightly paler golden
hue and relatively agouti free and showed a good sheen.
The spots were well defined and varied in size and shape.
The contrast was quite good. There was a well defined ‘’M’
and mascara lines. There was an unbroken necklet. The
legs were good for shape with medium boning. The feet
were small and rounded. Shown in good condition
5 KEEBLES AND ANDERSON-KEEBLE ‘S NEWKINGDOM
AZIA 78 30S F 22.4.08. This girl had some really pleasing
features. A good shaped head with pleasing width on the
top. She had excellent eyes for shape and set with a typical
level upper eye with a pleasing upward slant to lower lid.
The nose was parallel for its length and she presented with
that typical look. The muzzle however, was just too fine at
the moment lacking the gentle roundedness required. The
nose was almost straight in side profile. The ears were of
good over all shape and were of good size but she did tend
to hold them too erect which spoilt the lines of the head.
The coat was quite good for spotting and the definition
and contrast though the dorsal area was darker on the base
coat and this extended a little way down the flanks
reducing the contrast. She had the usual agouti features of
‘M’ and complex scarab as well as an unbroken necklace
and facial mascara lines. The legs were good for shape and
were well striped. I would have preferred the base coat to
be a little paler on the legs but there was no tarnishing.
The feet were quite rounded. Shown in good condition.
6 HUTCHIN AND HUTCHIN CHANTINA MOUJI 78 30 F
28.5.08. A pleasing girl overall but she did not present
herself well day. She appeared to hold her ears well down
which spoilt the line of the head and detracted from the
expected balance. The head was just a little short for
perfection. The eyes were large and of good size and shape
being somewhat like rounded almonds and almost set as
required thought not quite possessing the ‘worried’. They
were yellowy green in colour. The muzzle was short and
well rounded. The chin was of fair depth. The dip in profile
was acceptable and the nose was parallel through its
length. The body was firm and well muscled with good
developing muscle tone. The coat was short and fine and
lay well to the body. The spotting was quite well defined
and short reasonable contrast. However, the base coat was
slightly darker reducing the contrast somewhat. The head
had a well defined ‘M’ and complex scarab as well as
mascara lines. There was a broken necklace on the throat.
The spots were varied in size and shape and the tummy was
spotted. The tail of good length was well ringed ending in
a dark tip.
CHOCOLATE BURMESE KITTEN: Two very nice kittens.
1 & BOB VERNON-SMITH’S GLENWAY DWAWAY
DEBONAIR 27B F 9.2.08. An attractive kitten with a very
good head and certainly having the advantage of age over
the young kitten placed at number 2. She had a really good
head with good gentle rounding on top with good space
between the well shaped ears of good set and shape. The

was very clear and the chocolate had a good with warmth
to it. The tail was good for shape and length. Shown in
excellent condition
KENNARD’S CLARKESFILED UPTOWN GIRL. Another
attractive girl just a little less mature but there was little
between them overall. This girl had good rounding on top
and had excellent ears set and really good shape. The eyes
were very good for shape with good rounding to the
bottom lid and with good curving to the upper lid. I just
wish they were a little bolder for perfection. The body was
firm and well muscled. The coat was good for quality and
it was fine and lay well to the body. The legs were slim and
well muscled and the feet were spoon-shaped. The tail
gave good balance and it tapered well. Shown in very good

CREAM BURMESE NEUTER MALE:
FOR BOB BUIST’S GR. PR. OAKENSHIELD SULTANOF SWING
27F MN RIDDLES.
A rather nice looking male neuter with a very good head.
There was good space between the ears which were just a
little small and he seemed to want to hold them a little
higher than desirable. The eyes were very good for shape
and size. Lovely rounding to the bottom lid complimented
by a curving to the upper lid towards the tear duct. The
muzzle was short and broad. The nose break was very good
and the chin was of good depth. The legs were slim but
well muscled and the feet were appropriate for shape and
set. The tail tapered so well and it ended in a paintbrushlike tip. The coat was a lovely pale cream coat with a really

gain. The legs were slim and well muscled and the feet trim

had a great day handling many lovely cats. I had the
pleasure of Mrs. Helen Hardwick who cam along to
steward for me, handling the cats with care and expertise

AOC SELF COLOURPOINT ADULT MALE: I had two boys in
this class, both of a high quality and a pleasure to judge.
1 CC & BOB BROWN’S DENSPURR YURI TONKA [13b4] M
17.8.07. Just over one year old lilac lad of very good size
and weight. Lovely cobby body on short sturdy legs. Broad
rounded masculine head with neat ears well furnished and
place. Large round eyes of a slightly pale blue colour, broad
snub nose, but a fraction undershot with the left lower
canine very slightly mis-placed, apple cheeks and firm chin.
Excellent head balance. The coat was of a reasonable
length well prepared, soft and free flowing. The coat was
of a super magnolia white and the points to the ears, full
mask, legs and tail were of a lovely warm lilac colour
matching well in tone. The tummy was free from shading,
short full tail balanced the body. Super lad with a lovely
temperament.
2 BROWN’S CH. ADVILO DOODLESHOES [13b4] M 20.6.06.
Two year and two month old lilac lad of again good size
and weight. Lovely cobby body on short sturdy legs, broad
masculine head with medium ears well furnished and
placed. Large round eyes of a reasonable blue colour, wide
snub nose, bite slightly undershot, apple cheeks and firm
chin. Head very well balanced. The coat was of a
reasonable length well prepared, but due to a moult the
coat at present to the back was rather coarse in texture.
The body was of a lovely magnolia white and the points
colour to the ears, full mask, legs and tail were of a lovely
warm lilac colour, matching in tone, the tummy was free
from shading. Short full tail balanced the body. Lovely lad,
again with a super temperament. [It was a hard decision
between these two super lads and for me it went down to
coat texture today].
TABBY COLOURPOINT KITTEN FEMALE:
1 BOB ROLLERSON’S SHOU BARBARELLA [13b12] F 15.1.08.
Seven and a half month old blue tabby girl of medium size
and weight. Nice cobby body on short little legs, head
developing breadth with neat ears well furnished settling
into position. Round eyes of a pale blue colour. Short nose
with a pink nose leather outlined with blue, bite
fractionally undershot, cheeks filling out well and firm chin,
head balance developing well. Coat of a good length well
prepared, nice soft texture, the body was of a lovely glacial
white and the tummy was free from shading. The ears
displayed thumb prints, the mask to the face was
developing very well and showing an M to the forehead,
lines from corner of eyes and spotted whisker pads. The
tabby markings were of a dense blue colour shown off by
a nice light beige agouti ground colour. The legs showed
barring and the tail displayed some rings. The full tail
balanced the body well. Lovely temperament, pretty girl
showing promise.
PEWTER/BLUE PEWTER KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB MERCHANT’S REMILAKAT SILKEN DORIS [53] F
28.4.08. Four month old black pewter girl of good size and
weight for her age. Body quite cobby on short legs. Head
developing breadth, nicely rounded with medium ears well
furnished settling into position. Round eyes of a nice
orange colour developing, short nose with break, nose
leather brick red outlined with black, the eye rims and paw
pads were also black. Bite level, cheeks filling out well and
firm chin. Head showing good balance. The coat was
lacking a little length but had been very well prepared, soft
texture. The undercoat was of a good light silvery white
colour with a nice black mantle developing down the back,
at present the colour was a little uneven. Slightly heavier
black shading to shoulders and rump, and less colour
towards the flanks. The face was silvery white showing
light black tipping with a ghost tabby M to the forehead.
The ear tufts were silvery white, the legs were also shaded
with faint tabby barring and the back legs from paws to
heels displayed some black shading. Short reasonably full
tail was shaded with lightly tipped black over silvery white.
Pretty girl with a lovely temperament, showing promise.
AC EXOTIC SH NON SELF KITTEN MALE:
1 & BOB STALLING’S SHARISHIMA BILLY BOB [70.12a5] M
3.4.08. Five month old red and white bi colour lad of
medium size and weight. The body at present was a little
rangy although legs short, developing breadth to chest and
firm rump. Head showing quite good width with the
medium sized ears nicely rounded but at present a little
open at base and needing to settle. Large bold round eyes
of a super orange colour, short nose, bite level although
upper canines splaying inwards and lower canines splaying
outwards, teething is well in progress with the new canines
coming in well, cheeks filling out and firm chin. Head
balance on course. The coat was lacking undercoat and
therefore a little plushness, the coat just managed to stand
away from the body. The white areas were pristine and
the red patching was of a rich vibrant colour, although at
present showing heavy tabbying to these areas. I gave the
colour the benefit of doubt today as he is still young and
these markings could fade. Ted face with white to right
cheek, white bib and tummy, red body broken up by areas
of white, all legs broken with colour. Short thick fully
coloured tail balanced the body. Lovely temperament.
AC EXOTIC SH NON SELF KITTEN FEMALE:
1 BAILEY-READ’S BRONJOY BETTE DAVIS EYES [70.12/2] F
20.4.08. Four and a half month old dilute tortie and white
girl of quite good size and weight. Cobby body on short
legs with quite good breadth to chest and firm rump. Head
developing width with medium sized ears, nicely rounded
needing to settle. Round eyes of a nicely developing
orange colour, although for me they needed to be larger in
size. Short nose, the bite was nearly level but one of the
lower canines was a little misaligned at present, let’s hope
teething sorts this out. Cheeks still filling out and firm chin,
head developing balance. The coat was quite soft
although lacked a little plushness and did stand well from
the body. The face was nicely patched with cream and blue
with a white area to the left side of the face, cream chin.
The body displayed nice sized patches of blue and cream
with white to the flanks, white bib and tummy, left front
leg broken with colour, other legs white. Short thick tail of
both colours balanced the body, the white was pristine, the
blue and cream patches were medium to dark in colour
reasonably sound. For perfection I would prefer a paler
blue and cream, ghost tabby rings to her tail. Sweet

moving up the ranks to the highest place/title. Later in the
day I gave her Best In Show exhibit. Many congratulations
to both her and her very proud owner. Put simply – she is
gorgeous! A perfect example of the breed. Now neutered,
she has done her duty and is being shown as a mature
spayed female. Her temperament is superb and she is still
in excellent physical condition. I hope to watch her in the
future, I am sure she will continue her success on the
showbench.
R. LAWRENCE’S CH. & PR. RAGALYN TEQUILA 66/31a FN
[5Y 3M]. A generally pleasing and well balanced girl of
mature lines. Good broad head but her flat plane could
show more definition. Large eyes showing correct shape
and setting with colour of a good blue tone. Correct
upward tilt to her profile, bite is level and her muzzle is
well rounded and broad. She has a good firm chin.
Proportionate ears. Long feminine body of mature lines, is
weighty and shows very good type and balance. Neck is
thick and she shows good depth to chest. Very good length
to tail which is still in summer phase. Silky, glacial white
coat still to come through as is her ruff. Very good pattern
with well formed inverted ‘V’ and showing very good
contrast. A confident girl who was well prepared and
presented.
AV ORIENTAL IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
1 & IMPERIAL CERT. SIMPSON’S GR. CH. WESTGARTH
DRESSTOIMPRESS 37g F [3Y 5M]. An impressive looking
and attractive mature girl showing excellent lines of
conformity. Very good head length with straight lines
interrupted by a very marginal muzzle pinch. Very good
top of head and ear flair with a good wide base. Even mid
green eye colour showing lovely shape and oriental setting.
Expression is soulful. Almost straight profile, bite is very
slightly scissored. Excellent depth to chin. Long, lithe body
of excellent tone, substance and is in superb physical
condition.
Excellent neck carriage and having a
corresponding thin and tapering tail. She stands on long,
elegant limbs with neat paws. Very good coat texture a
trifle long for perfection, but was well mingled throughout
showing shades of mid blue and creams. She handles well
and was well worthy of the Imperial – congratulations to
her owner.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER MALE:
1 & GR. PR. PAGE’S PR. ASHJOLEX ZACHARYBINX 32/1 MN
[16M 2WKS]. I like this youngster as he shows style, lovely
type and balance. Long head of adolescent proportions
complimented by his well flared ears and his excellent
profile. He has a noble expression which has much appeal
for me. Excellent eyes for shape, colour and Siamese
setting. Bite is level but he shows slight gingivitis, chin is
firm. Long, lithe body with excellent long and slender
limbs. Excellent neck carriage and his perfect balance is
made complete by his long tapering tail which displays
numerous rings and a solid tip. Facial pattern shows very
good formation and clarity with spectacles and whisker
spots. Eyes are enhanced by well formed tracings and he
displays a well formed ‘M’ and distinctive thumbprints.
Close lying sleek coat of an excellent texture showing some
tonal shading, contrasting well with his seal brown pattern.
Lovely to handle and to judge. He was well presented.
R. SAXON’S PR. SHIMILEETA STONECOLDCRAZY 32/3 MN
[1Y 11M]. Another very impressive boy, he was very unlucky
to meet the winner today as he is a very good
representative of the breed. Strong and well balanced
head with excellent ear flair. Eyes are of a very good blue
colour, he tends to open them up slightly. Very good
profile, his bite is level and he has a firm chin. Excellent
bone and masculinity to his well toned body. Excellent
neck carriage leading to a long, lithe body. Long tapering
and well ringed tail. Excellent clarity to pattern with well
marked legs and well defined thumbprints and frown
mark. Well formed ribbons and clear spectacles. Sleek,
clean and well textured coat, lying close. Very good
chocolate base colour. Ivory tone to coat making for a very
attractive effect. Excellent temperament.
SEAL POINT SIAMESE FEMALE ADULT:
1 CH. & BOB BAUERFEIND’S PALMIRA SIENNA 24 F [1Y 7M].
A well balanced girl of unexaggerated type. Good length
to head showing minimal pinch and adequate depth to
chin. Well placed and proportionate ears. Excellent eye
shape, setting and expression. Deep blue colour to eyes.
Firm body of overall good balance, very good length to
tapering tail. Dense seal brown mask and ears. Limbs are
typically paler but the tail does show some brindling. Tonal
shading to sleek and close lying coat. Slightly uptight but
handles well with reassurance. Was well presented.
TABBY POINT SIAMES ADULT:
1 [CH. W/HELD] BAUERFEIND’S SHIMILEETA BULSARA F
32/1 [2Y 1M]. Almost fully mature but not having quite
the strength of head. Proportionate ears which she carried
slightly upright. Good eye shape and colour without
typical Siamese expression. Bite is slightly untidy due to
some missing incisors. Muzzle is rather squared off and her
chin is just adequate. Good length to body which is
weighty and well covered. Tonal shading to sleek and close
lying coat. Pattern colour is good, but pattern formation
could be more defined. Very good condition and
temperament, but unfortunately for me not quite up to
Challenge quality today.
2 HELM’S VELVETEENA KASSIE LASSIE 32/3 F [1Y 10M]. She
too lacks the desired strength and type to both head and
body. Moderate head length with chin requiring more
depth.
Good straight profile.
Well placed and
proportionate ears. Very good eye shape and colour. Body
is slightly dainty and lightweight, but nevertheless is well
covered and has good muscle tone. Very good chocolate
base colour with clear and well formed facial, ear and leg
pattern. Tail is well ringed. Very good coat colour, but
could be finer as it is rather ‘dense’ for the breed. Coat
texture is good. A pleasing girl for temperament.
BOB HARVEY’S CH. ADVIAM PINUP POPPY 32/1 F [2Y 9M].
A well balanced girl unexaggerated in type. Excellent eye
colour with very good profile. Very good body and tail.
Sleek and well textured coat. Very good pattern.
SEAL POINT SIAMESE KITTEN:
1 & BOB SIMPSON’S MAFDET HONEYBEE 24 F [17 WEEKS].
A promising girl showing style and overall lovely
conformation. Very good head shape enhanced by her
well placed and proportionate ears with a good wide base.
Expressive eyes showing the desired Siamese shape and
setting. Even deep blue eye colour. Profile is straight but
she shows a slight teething pinch at present. Her bite is
level. Lovely firm chin. Long, baby body with good length
to neck. Lengthy limbs and having neat oval shaped feet.
Tail is in balance and tapers to a fine tip. Points colour still
developing with mask and ears of a good seal brown tone.
Baby coat clear and contrasts well. Lovely condition and
she handles with confidence.
2 CLEGG’S AMUN APHRODITE MYNPH 24 F [5 MTHS 1 WK].
Not having strong Siamese type to her head, but she does
show some good points. She has excellent eye colour
despite her eyes lacking the correct shape and setting. Her
bite is level and she has a good firm chin. She has a slight
pinch to the muzzle but her bite is fairly firm. Good firm
body shown in very good physical condition. Clear sleek
coat of very good texture. Dense seal points colour, well
developed for her age. A delightful girl for temperament
and was well presented.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE MALE KITTEN:
1 HARVEY’S ENIGMATIC SHOUTITOUT M 32/3 [6 MTHS].
Shows generally pleasing head type with very good ear
placement and proportions. Good straight profile and
having a firm chin. Eyes let him down as the setting is
rather deep and they are rather small in relation to his face
and gender. Eye colour is too pale and dull in effect. Body
is of good length but he is moving through the heavy and
awkward ‘podgy’ stage. I am sure that he will look better
as he matures. Ivory colour, sleek and close lying coat.
Good chocolate base colour, but mask is paler and brindled
with tabby pattern losing its clarity. Thumbprints and
bracelets are well formed. Has a well ringed tail. A
pleasing boy for disposition.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN:
1 BOB CASSAR SIMMONDS’ FURRYFACE ESPERANZA 32/4
F [8MTHS]. Has a very good head for length which would
balance better with a slightly deeper chin and a straighter
profile. Excellent ear flair. Lovely eyes for shape, colour
and Siamese expression. Bite is level. Dainty for her age
but body is of a good length and conformation. Long
elegant limbs and has a well ringed long and tapering tail.
Clear, sleek and well textured coat. Dark lilac base colour.
Pattern is fairly clear on the mask and ears. Bracelets faint
and lack formation as yet. A stylish girl needing to make
more size. Well prepared and has a lovely disposition.

GCC PORTSMOUTH’S CH. CHURSTON MUSCAR CRISPEN
(13c5 16/8/06). Mature Red Point lad of good balanced
type. Good width to head with well-set medium ears. Deep
blue eyes of good shape – I would prefer them to be
slightly larger & they are a fraction deep-set. Medium nose
with good dip. Good width to cheeks. Level bite. Chin could
be a fraction stronger. Coat fairly well prepared – just a
touch flat on his back today and lacking a little undercoat
and length. Body almost clear, and mid red to all points.
Well matched gloves & socks. Matching tapered gauntlets.
Well grown boy with good body shape. Medium tail to
balance. RES W/H 2 BAXTER’S CH. ESAYA SIOUXWARRIOR
(13c15 11/5/07). Very attractive Red Tabby point lad of

medium ears set well. Deep blue eyes of excellent size &
shape. Medium nose with good dip. Good width to cheeks.

Clear to body & mid red tabby markings to all points. Well
matched gloves & socks. The left gauntlet is well tapered,
unfortunately the right gauntlet extends up the side of his
leg at the end. Very well grown body. Medium tail, well
furnished. I was very sorry to have to place this lad down,
but it seems that as his markings have deepened this fault
has become evident. He is a really super lad in all other
ways.
AC BIRMAN CHAMPION FEMALE:

Unfortunately she is very light in weight at present which
was my reason for withholding. Her body is a touch on the
small side anyway, but it is the lack of weight which really
emphasizes this. I understand from her mum that much
effort is being put in to address this – and I hope it’s
successful. Tail is medium in length & well furnished. Rather
grumpy today.

black extending up the hock. Very happy to show himself
off and be assessed.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN ADULT FEMALE:
1 DESOLLA’S WAVETAIL FIONNULA 13.10.07. Sadly this girl
has not grown as much as I would like, since I saw her as a
kitten. She is too small for her age and needs to put on
muscle.
Slender legs with small oval feet, tail in balance with the
body. Head has a moderate wedge and shows good
Abyssinian expression. Very good top of head, with large
well set ears, with tufts. Large expressive eyes of correct
shape and set. Profile shows a gentle nose break, rounded

under the chin, no necklets. Unfortunately she has heavy
leg barring. Coat short and fine, well ticked with a golden
copper basecoat. A little wriggley but permitted a full
assessment. Challenge certificate withheld because of size
leg barring and bite.
FAWN ABYSSINIAN KITTEN:
1 & BOB POLLETT’S WAVETAIL GANDOLF MALE 3.6.08. A
very young boy, but of good size and weight for his age,
legs a little gangly at present, tail in proportion. Head has
a medium wedge. Very good top of head with large well
set ears, with a hint of tufts. Profile shows a slight nose
break, chin a little shallow bite level. Rounded muzzle with
a distinct muzzle indent. Eyes, just a little round and small
at present. Coat still kittenish but shows well developed
fawn ticking, colour pales a little to the roots. Absolutely no
white at all. No bars or necklets. Well defined dark fawn
spine line solid tail tip and dark fawn extending a little way
up the hocks. A very relaxed exhibit who was a real
charmer out of the pen.
A.C. RUSSIAN ADULT:
1 SEDGWICK’S CH. LUBIMIVEH VASKA MALE 14.3.07. An
adolescent boy of good size, with good underlying bone
structure, who still needs to fill out just a little. Tail balances
the body, with a slight taper to the tip. Long legs with small
oval feet. Head shows good Russian expression with a short
wedge with strong whisker pads, firm chin and an even
bite. Good top of head with large ears set vertically. Profile
shows a well developed angle, although the line of the
eyebrows produces a slight ridge above the eyes. Eyes of
good shape although a fraction smaller than I would like,
colour a strong clear green. Coat, an even mid blue in
colour, sound to the roots, with a distinct silvery sheen, free
of any markings except for a few vestigial tail rings. Plushy
feel to the coat but the coat density could have been a little
deeper. A very laid back exhibit who handled very well and
stood well to good effect.

well developed youngster well grown for his age. An
elegant body of good length, with a firm muscular feel to
it. Well balanced limbs with small oval feet, tail

a firm chin and a level bite. Almond shaped eyes, two tones
of green in colour, well set. Flat top of head with a distinct
angle to the profile. Very large ears, set low on the head
and at a wide angle to the line of the head. The shape is
rather triangular with a wide flared base. The overall effect
of this was to seriously detract from a Russian expression.
Coat dense and plush, sound to the roots a medium blue in
shade, with fairly well developed silver sheen. Free of any
markings except a few very faint tail rings. Rather unhappy
out of the pen but did permit a full assessment.
A.C. ABYSSINIAN ADULT:

OPEN CLASSES
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND CHAMPION MALE:
IMP. GD. CC BROWNING’S GD. CH. PIPPASTRO HAWKMOTH
(61n) 05/05/07. I was so pleased to see this lad in my class,
I have admired him since a small – well large, baby and he
has now matured into a really gorgeous cat. I do find him
mouth-watering, he has it all, type, colour and coat, and
his temperament is to die for. Strong well balanced and
masculine head with excellent top line and very large ears
– particularly for this breed, beautifully furnished and with
long fluted hairs at the base, excellently set. Oriental eye
shape and set with superior expression and very good
depth of colour. Strong roman profile with deep firm chin
and level bite. Excellent length and muscle-tone to long
weighty but elegant body, long strong limbs, but tail rather
short for balance. Excellent points colour, dingy toned lilac
based caramel with clear brownish overlay at the base of
the ears and on the tail. Cool toned off white coat with
light shading over the shoulders, length very good and
showing some flow with frilling at the tummy line, texture
beautifully silky, plume a touch sparse today. A wonderful
cat fully deserving of his BIS win today. Excellently
presented.
R. MULLEN’S GD. CH. JOHPAS RED RUUDI (32a) 06/10/05.
Another handsome lad, strong and masculine, very unlucky
to be up against the winner today. Broad medium wedge
with excellent top of head, ears large, open based and set
to balance. Oriental eye shape and set with brilliant colour.
Slight dip to profile over nose, good firm chin
perpendicular to nose tip and level bite. Long lean and
very firm toned body, typically masculine, long strong limbs
and spoon paws, long tail to balance. Rich red points, really
vibrant in tone, particularly on the ears. Warm white coat
that was not quite right today, it was a touch long and the
texture was too fine and soft. He was also fluffing himself
up so not really doing himself any favours. Despite his
rather fierce appearance he was very friendly and handled
well. Excellently presented in a double pen.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
IMP. GD. CC GREEN’S GD. CH. MAPU ALLEGRA (24n)
30/10/04. Beautiful lady, excellent type. Stylish head with
wide top line and lovely large flared ears set to balance.
Superior expression to eyes of very good shape and set,
with super brilliant colour. Strong profile for a female, not
quite straight with slight bump between the eyes, excellent
strong chin and level, albeit slightly untidy bite. Long,
elegant but well covered body, long slender limbs and neat
paws, tail nicely tapered but needs a little more length to
balance. Excellent points colouring, in amongst several
other caramel point cats she stood out. Correct cool tones
to off white coat with the bare minimum of shading to
tone, and the length and texture was very good. Perfect
to handle as always and beautifully presented.
ORIENTAL TORTOISESHELL ADULT:
CC & BOB HIRST’S CH. TOGHAR PASTICHE (37h) 16/07/07.
A big strong girl of good type and style, the more mature
looking of the two ladies by far. Medium wedge with fairly
good top line, ears large but could be a touch more flared,
set in line with the wedge. Oval eye shape, setting good,
colour mid green. Good profile and chin, bite untidy,
particularly the lower jaw, but appeared level-ish. Good
substance and tone to long body, elegant limbs and neat
paws, tail needs an inch to balance. Dark but fairly warm
chocolate tortie coat well mingled in pale and mid red,
sound to roots, lying close but is a touch fine in texture.
Lovely temperament and excellently presented.
2 BUTTON’S PASHTAN FANTASIA (37e) 20/02/07. Neat little
queen of good type overall, but quite kittenish looking
considering her age. Slightly narrow medium wedge with
proportionate ears fairly well set. Eyes of basically good
shape and set though a little on the full side, colour very
good. Almost straight profile, good chin and level bite,
small pinch to muzzle. Long, slender and dainty body with
very slender limbs and neat paws, good whip tail. Glossy, jet
black coat very well mingled with mainly pale red, sound to
roots and with super sleek and close lying texture. A dear
lady who was very friendly and excellently presented.
ORIENTAL SPOTTED TABBY KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB MILLER’S BARBECCO CHARITY (38h) 20/03/08. A
lovely baby, very promising for type. Super typy little head
with very good top line and large flared ears very well set.
Oriental eye shape, set and expression with rather
yellowish green colour. Tiny dip to nose at present, firm
chin and level bite. Long firm toned body, long fine limbs
and neat oval paws, whippy tail to balance. I did have some
reservations over her pattern but felt it was acceptable on
the day. There is the odd linked spot, but most of the
spotting on the body is well formed and clear and the spine
line is well broken. It is mainly sound, and although there
is some agouti invasion of the pattern areas I didn’t feel it
was enough today to withhold on her, particularly as the
tortie overlay, which was quite extensive, tends to obscure
the pattern anyway, tortie mingling in mid red and the
chocolate base colour was a touch dark. Coat length and
texture excellent. Easy to handle and excellently presented.
ORIENTAL LONGHAIR KITTEN MALE:
1 & BOB BROWNING’S PIPPASTRO PENDERYN (62 20fn)
24/02/08. A most attractive and very well grown boy of
very good type. Strong head for a baby with very good top
line and large well fluffed ears set to balance. Oriental eye
shape and set with olive green colour. Good strong profile
and firm chin, bite level. Long weighty and substantial
body with long strong boned limbs and large oval paws,
tail needs a little more length to balance. Good hot tones
to coat colour, pattern fairly well defined for an OLH and
shows minimal linkage considering the length of the coat
which was appropriate for age, soundness to about half
way which is reasonable for this breed, and the texture was
excellent, beautifully silky and fine, plume could do with a
touch more furnishing. Handled very well and was
excellently presented.
SEAL POINT SIAMESE ADULT MALE:
CC & BOB SIDNELL’S CH. MYLYNN MASTER OF DISGUISE
26/03/07. A very handsome and stylish seal male, not
without his problems but well worth his certificate.
Excellent head with wide top line and lovely large ears set
to follow. Oriental eye shape and set with wicked
expression, colour mid blue, although for perfection I
would like it a touch deeper. Almost straight profile and
firm chin, bite level. Long, elegant but really muscular boy
body, long elegant limbs and spoon paws, long whip tail.
Points colour does tend to lack warmth and as he continues
to shade up with age he is almost bordering on black seal,
but to his credit the shading is mainly confined to his body
and does not extend over the top of his skull - as one tends
to see in mature seals. Coat texture excellent, very short
and sleek, a proper Siamese coat. Wonderful temperament
for a mature male, beautifully prepared and presented.
SEAL POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
CC MAYBURY’S RICHDALE CHARLIESANGEL 28/09/07. An
attractive lady of overall correct type, not over typy but
overall even and quite well balanced, and her points
colouring and coat contrast were impressive. Medium
length wedge with good top of head with proportionate
ears well set. Almond eye shape, setting correct, colour mid
blue that could ideally be a touch deeper for a seal. Slight
dip to nose, chin and bite good. Dainty but fairly weighty
body of good length, neat limbs and paws, tapered tail to
balance. Dense really warm toned seal points, well matched
and free from brindling. Creamy fawn coat, perhaps a little
fine in texture but lying close, with minimal warm seal
shading to tone and pale creamy bib and tummy. A very
sweet tempered lady excellently presented.
LILAC POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
CC & BOB MAYBURY’S CH. SANDTUM ICECRYSTAL
15/03/05. Mature lady of good type and style. Even
medium wedge with good top line and fairly large open
based ears well set. Oriental eye shape and set with
gorgeous colour, really brilliant sapphire blue. Slight dip to
profile over nose, good chin and bite. Well covered and
fairly substantial body of good length, elegant limbs, tail
almost balances. Lilac points a touch dark and could be
marginally pinkier in tone but were acceptable - lighting
not the best anyway. Magnolia coat with the barest
minimum of shading thus excellent contrast to points, coat
length good and lying well, albeit a touch fine in texture.
Excellent to handle and excellently presented.
TORTIE POINT ADULT:
CC BUTTON’S PASHTAN ZOE (32b1) 282/09/05. A stylish girl
but quite dainty for a 3 year cat. Stylish head with very
good top line and large well set ears. Basically good shape
to eyes but she was very nervous and was holding them
wide, colour good. Good profile and chin, level bite missing
a couple of incisors on the lower jaw. Very firm toned body,
curled up and tense but quite long & elegant when
persuaded to unfurl, long slender limbs, tail needs an inch
to balance. Dark, dense seal tortie points, very well mingled
with mid and rich red, most attractive. Short sleek coat of
excellent texture with light tortie shading overall. Very
nervous, bless her, but not unfriendly. Excellently
presented. I understand this makes her up, congratulations.
2 MILLER’S LITTLEFEAT KOKOMO (32b3) 14/11/07.
Attractive lady who looked very kittenish still. Even and
well balanced medium wedge with very good top of head
and large ears set in line. Oriental eye shape and set with
very good depth of colour. Profile a touch uneven but chin
and bite good. Long body that was more substantial that
she looked, dainty limbs and neat paws, tail needs more
length to balance. Darker but warm toned chocolate tortie
points, ears very well tortied but mask quite minimal. Very
good length and texture to unshaded ivory coat. It was very
close between these two ladies and on another day the
placings could quite easily be reversed. Lovely to handle
and excellently presented.
Judged for BOB and awarded SMOUT’S CH. KAMIK
THEONEANDONLY (32b1) 11/04/06. I seem to have mislaid
my report on this lady so my apologies to the exhibitor, but
I do remember that she was a very stylish queen and was
the more mature looking of the three ladies, thus the BOB
award.
CHOCOLATE POINT SIAMESE KITTEN MALE:
1 & BOB MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE ACHILLES 22/03/08.
A typy and promising baby, well grown for his age. Stylish
head with very good top line and large flared ears very well
set. Oval eye shape, setting correct, colour bright mid blue.
Strong almost straight profile, firm chin and level bite.
Good length and substance to body, long strong limbs,
whip tail almost balances, a shame he is monorchid. Warm
mid chocolate points almost matching with minimal
brindling to the tail. Clear unshaded ivory coat of soft fine
baby texture. The sweetest temperament, purred the
whole time. Excellently presented.
CHOCOLATE POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE:
1 PETTY’S SHIMMERKIM APRILSUNSHINE 01/04/08. A very
well grown baby but rather dark in colour. Medium length
wedge with good top line and large open based ears well
set. Oriental eye shape and set with good colour.
Undulating profile with pronounced dips as yet, chin fades
but bite level. Weighty and firm toned body of good
length, long limbs and spoon paws, whippy tail to balance.
Points colour on the dark side and could be warmer in tone,
tail extensively brindled. Coat, completely unshaded,
texture still fairly baby fine but lying close to body. Easy to
handle and excellently presented.
2 MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE ATALANTA 22/03/08. Very
good for type and style but unlike her brother, small for 7
months. Neat and well balanced medium wedge with very
good top line and large flared ears well set. Good shape
and set to eyes, colour could be deeper. Almost straight
profile and good chin with level bite. Long dainty but firm
toned body, fine limbs and long whip tail to balance.
Chocolate points a touch dark but showing good warm
ones, some brindling on tail. Unshaded ivory coat still with
baby texture, soft fine and slightly fluffy. Excellent
temperament and presentation.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN MALE:
1 POUND’S BARBECCO NIELLO (32/1) 22/03/08. Stylish boy,
fairly well grown but oh my, what language for a baby!
Longer wedge with good top line and large ears very well
set. Oriental eye shape and set with naughty expression
and bright mid blue colour. Almost straight profile, good
chin and level bite. Lovely firm tone to long baby body,
long limbs and long tapered tail with a small “pip” at the
tip. Very promising tabby markings, spotty based, with
good clear scarab developing, double cheek ribbons, paler
multi bars and very well ringed tail. Excellent close coat
showing some ghost spotted shading. Not very happy so
not easy to handle today, first show perhaps? Beautifully
presented.
TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB PATTON’S MAFDET HONEY TRAP (32/1) 11/05/08.
Dainty baby of very good type with a lot to say for herself.
Short strong head with wide top line and large butterfly
ears excellently set. Very good shape and set to eyes that
are marginally large in proportion to the head at present,
depth of colour very good. Baby growth dips to profile,
firm chin and level bite. Dainty but firm and fairly weighty
body of good length, dainty limbs and teeny paws, whippy
tail to balance. Interesting tabby markings, the scarab is a
little indistinct, she has single ribbons and the thumb prints
are large, which usually tends to indicate a ticked based
pattern and therefore there are normally the bare
minimum of tail rings evident. However this little lady had
excellent tail rings that showed right along the entire
length of the tail. Lovely clear body colour, free of shading,
length and texture typically baby as yet. A chatty little girl
beautifully presented.
2 MILLER’S PASHTAN JINGLE (32t1) 15/03/08. A well grown
and quite substantial baby of good type. Neat and well
balanced medium length head with very good top line and
large wide based ears very well set, but which she tends to
bonnet. Oriental eye shape and set, colour need more
depth. Good profile and chin with level bite. Firm toned
body, quite long and slender, long limbs and long tapered
tail to balance with a deviation at the tip that was just
visible. Very dark seal tabby markings with most attractive
tortie breaks showing on the ears in particular, tail rings
very good. Unshaded coat of very good length and texture.
Rather shy but sweet tempered. Excellently presented.
APRICOT POINT SIAMESE KITTEN MALE: Two very attractive
boys and it was very close for the first place
1 & BOB MEE’S KINGSHAVEN LOVEBUG 20/04/08. The
younger of the two boys entered but well grown and of
very good type and style. Very good head, stylish and well
balanced with wide-ish top and large flared ears set to
balance. Oriental eye shape and set, colour mid blue. Good
profile and chin, bite level. Weighty body of good length
and tone, long slender limbs and neat paws, good length
tail. Points colour very promising, with tail and top of
hocks in particular showing hot intense tones, they were
marginally better than the other boy and it was this that
decided the placings. Generally good length and texture to
coat but he was very pleased with himself and kept fluffing
it up, light shading evident down the spine. Super to
handle and excellently presented.
2 CROWLEY & LAMBERT’S JOHPAS SONNYDAZE 03/03/08.
Simply enormous lad for 6 months of age, type very good
but just lacking the style of the winner at present. Longer
wedge, top line could be marginally wider for balance, ears
large and nicely set. Oval shape to eyes, expression a little
innocent at the moment and the colour could ideally be
deeper. Almost straight, strong broad nose, firm chin and
level bite. Excellent substance to long “puppy’ body, long
strong limbs, long tapered tail to balance. Good warm
toned apricot points, tail paler at the moment. Super coat
for length and texture lightly shaded down the spine to
tone. Easy to handle and excellently presented.
CARAMEL POINT SIAMESE NEUTER MALE:
PC HUTCHINGS PR. WILLHAVETODO SIR PERCY 27/05/06.
Fast becoming an old friend this handsome chap. Longer
wedge but with top line wide enough to balance and large
ears very well set. Oriental eye shape and set with gentle
expression and mid blue colour. Dead straight profile and
firm chin, bite level, marginal pinch to muzzle. Very long
and weighty body with a good trim figure for a neuter,
long strong limbs, tail needs a touch more length and is a
little thick at the root. Excellent points colour, dark and
dingy toned lilac-based caramel showing the clear
brownish overtones of a mature cat. Very good length and
texture to coat, shaded overall to tone but with a darker
patch over the lower back where he appears to have been
over-grooming himself. Handled really well today, in top
condition and excellently presented
CARAMEL POINT SIAMESE NEUTER FEMALE:
PC & BOB GOURLEY & WARD’S DAZZLING NEVERENDING
STORY 11/06/00. It is several years since I have seen this
lady, she is really quite senior now but continues to look
good. She still has her well balanced and stylish head with
excellent top line and very large ears set to follow. Oriental
eye shape and set with wicked expression, colour a little
faded out now but still good. Tiny dip to nose, firm chin
and good bite. Good length to body albeit rather
matronly, long elegant limbs and neat spoon paws, tail
almost balances. Points colour excellent, dark and sludgy
in tone and showing the very distinct tabby ghosting to the
mask which is often seen in a good caramel. Off white coat
that is quite heavily shaded but there is still some contrast,
a touch long but of good texture. Still has some very rude
things to say for her self but handled okay. Excellently
presented.
TORTIE POINT SIAMESE NEUTER:
Judged for Bob only and awarded STOKES’ IMP. GD. CH. &
IMP. GD. PR. HELLFIRE HIPPYCHICK (32b2) 26/11/03. Lovely
little female, very feminine and stylish. Super head
beautifully balanced with excellent top line and large open
based ears excellently set. Sweet expression to eyes of very
good shape and set with gorgeous colour. Tiny dip to
profile, firm chin and level bite. Nicely covered and firm
toned body of good length, with dainty limbs and paws,
tail to balance. Soft mid blue points with very good tortie
mingling in mid and pale cream. Medium length to coat
that was perhaps a touch too fine in texture today, shaded
overall to tone. Excellent to handle and beautifully
presented.
CREAM POINT SIAMESE NEUTER MALE:
Judged for BOB only & awarded SUP. UK & IMP.GD. PR.
TIANLEX FULL MONTY 14/03/03. There really is no other
cat that looks quite like this one, love him or hate him he
is quite unique. I have handled him so many times and it is
always a pleasure. Said it all before - many times, so
nothing to add except he does need to keep his weight
down, although I appreciate with his laid back
temperament this can’t be easy. Presentation excellent as
always.

My thanks to Margaret and Julian for the invitation and
hospitality. I apologise for the delay in submitting this
report, following some non-cosmetic surgery. In the words
of Winston Churchill…well, you already know what he
said!
CLASS 344a BURMESE CHAMPION MALE: (3)
GR. CH. BRIDGES’ CH. SANLIS DIAMOND GEEZER (21.3.07).
Blue. Not quite medium size, but very fit and muscular, with
a balanced, evenly tapering tail, and a fairly short and
finely textured, clear coat. Broad head with neat, well-set
ears, a short wedge, and pale yellow eyes with the required
oblique set and fuller lower line. Very good in profile, with
a distinct, but correctly shallow, nose break, straight short
nose, and a level chin. Incisors are set in a concave line, but
the bite is not undershot.
2 (Res W/H) VIRTUE’S CH. JANZANCO JENTLEMAN JIM
(19.5.07). Red. Just about the correct medium size, well
proportioned and muscular, with a balanced tail that tapers
evenly to a rounded tip. Medium length, bright, clear coat.
Would like to see a little more head width, and a betterdefined wedge. Large yellow eyes are set obliquely, but
should be slightly fuller in the lower line. No profile faults,
but needs to be more distinct at this level of competition:
nose break could be more defined, nose is nearly straight,
and the muzzle and chin could be a little stronger.
CLASS 344b BURMESE CHAMPION FEMALE: (6)
GR. CH. COLLINS’ GR. CH. AUREUS FEMME FATALE
(8.10.06). Lilac. Substantial but very elegant conformation,
and very muscular, if a little overweight, which emphasises
that the tail only just balances. Short, finely textured coat,
of a very attractive dove grey. Definitively broad head has
gentle rounding to the brow, and between beautiful ears
that emphasise the short, strongly formed wedge. Large,
yellow eyes, at best as she relaxes and describes the desired
slanting upper line and full lower, which give the Burmese
‘look’. Superb in profile, with a distinct but unexaggerated
nose break, straight nose, and deep muzzle with firm chin.
RESERVE BRIDGES’ CH. ARTRO BLUE DIAMOND (21.8.04).
Blue. Muscular, elegant physique, and slightly overweight.
Tail struggles to balance. Short and finely textured clear
coat. Broad head with rounded top and brow, and
beautifully set and shaped ears that continue the line of a
short wedge. Typically shaped eyes, of good size, giving the
desired expression. Distinct nose break, straight nose could
have fractionally less slope, and a level chin. Middle incisors
set back, but the bite otherwise level.
CLASS 361a BURMESE GRAND PREMIER MALE: (1)
1 (IGP W/H) HUTCHINGS’ GR. PR. TALIPAW BURLINGTON
BERTIE (13.12.04). Chocolate. Good size and conformation,
with an evenly tapering tail. Finely textured coat should be
shorter, and has dark points. No real head faults, and has
eye shape that gives a Burmese expression, but not quite to
the standard of excellence required. The head needs to be
a little broader, with slightly lower ear-set, and the profile
should be a little more distinct.
CLASS 361b BURMESE GRAND PREMIER FEMALE: (2)
IGP WILLIAMS’ IGP ZAMPETTO LIMITED EDITION (12.3.03).
Brown. Good size and weight, and well-proportioned,
though tail needs to be longer for ideal balance. Extremely
dark coat of medium length and texture. Broad head with
exceptionally well-set and shaped ears of ideal size. Large,
pale yellow eyes that express a Burmese look, with slanted
upper line and fuller lower. In profile, a distinct nose break,
straight nose, and level chin.
RESERVE QUINCEY’S GR. CH. & UK GR. PR. MEYRLING
OPHELIA (10.2.98). Cream. Medium size and plump, but
surprisingly light in weight, an impression exaggerated by
a long and woolly coat, which makes her look bigger. Broad
head with neat, well-set ears, and a short wedge. Pale eyes
of good size and oblique set, look a little distressed. Distinct
nose break, straight nose, and a level chin.
www.ourcats.co.uk
CLASS 348a BURMESE LILAC ADULT MALE: (2)
1 CC LANGLEY’S CH. CHATHERA DREAM WEAVER (13.2.06).
Petite for age, and slim with less than the desired
muscularity. Balanced, evenly tapering tail. Finely textured,
short to medium length, clear coat. Head needs more width
to length, and the muzzle is rather square rather than
forming a short wedge. Well-set, medium ears. Pale
greenish yellow eyes could have more slant to the upper
line, but are of good size. Distinct nose break, straight nose,
and a level chin, but would benefit from a little more depth
to the muzzle.
2 MATTHEWS’ RAEBURASI MARULA (8.12.07). Medium
size, but should be more muscular to be typical. Evenly
tapering tail balances. Coat is fairly short and finely
textured, but should have a sleeker lie. Head should be
broader to permit better ear set, and for the ears to be
better proportioned. Yellow eyes are a touch deep-set. In
profile, a reasonably distinct nose break, and straight nose,
but the chin could be stronger and the muzzle deeper.
CLASS 348b BURMESE LILAC ADULT FEMALE: (1 + 2 for
BOB)
BOB COLLINS’ GR. CH. AUREUS FEMME FATALE (See class
344b)
1 CC TARBUCK’S MOLYROSSI STARBUCK (18.9.07). Medium
size and muscular build, with a balanced, evenly tapering
tail, and a short, finely textured coat. Good width head,
with slight rounding to the top and brow, and a short
wedge. Large, expressive yellow eyes, a shade full in the
upper line. Fairly modest in profile.
CLASS 349 BURMESE RED ADULT: (1)
BOB VIRTUE’S CH. JANZANCO JENTLEMAN JIM (See class
344a)
CLASS 352 BURMESE AOC TORTOISESHELL ADULT: (1 + 2
for BOB)
1 CC & BOB MATTHEWS’ KATCHYN BLUE HAZE (23.6.07).
Blue Tortie. Medium size and elegant, with a balanced tail,
and a medium length, finely textured coat. Broad head,
slightly rounded to the top and brow, with well-set ears,
and a short, firmly formed wedge. Typical eyes, of good
size, have the necessary slanted set with fuller lower line.
Very good in profile, with a distinct nose break, straight
nose, and a level chin.
CLASS 363 BURMESE BROWN NEUTER: (1)
BOB WILLIAMS’ IGP ZAMPETTO LIMITED ADITION (See
class 361b)
CLASS 366 BURMESE LILAC NEUTER: (1)
1 PC & & BOB ROBINSON’S GR. CR. & PR. ROSSIKHAN
INYOUR DREAMS (7.4.02). Male. Elegant conformation,
and muscular. Tail could be a little longer for perfect
balance. Short, finely textured coat. Broad head with neat
ears, set to emphasise the short wedge. Pale yellow eyes of
good size, and typical shape. Very good in profile, with
distinct nose break, straight nose, and level chin.
CLASS 368a BURMESE CREAM NEUTER: (1 + 1 for BOB)
1 PC & BOB BUTLER’S CHILIPEPPER RISING SUN (6.11.04).
Male. Sizeable and muscular, and a little overweight. Tail is
correctly shaped, but should be longer to balance. Closelying, deep-coloured coat is fairly short and fine in texture.
Broad head, with well-set ears and a short wedge. Large,
well-shaped eyes, but needing a slant to the upper line. In
profile, a distinct nose break, and straight nose, but the
chin could be firmer.

Many thanks to Margaret, Julian and the Club for my
invitation to judge. I had some very nice cats and
thoroughly enjoyed my day. I apologise for the delay in
submitting this report. I am not sure why I overlooked it.
SNOW SPOTTED (AOC-EYED & BLUE-EYED) BENGAL
ADULT:
CC & BOB RICHMOND-WATSON’S OWLSDENE MALIBU
SUNRISE (M) (76b30). This lad at nine months and one day
of age is very strong and mature. Head a well balanced
broad medium wedge, slightly longer than wide with a
fairly broad nose, although I would have preferred the
muzzle to be a little stronger. This may develop as he
matures. Super clear face markings with pattern running
unbroken over head, going down neck and flowing into
complex shoulder markings with a clear defined broken
pattern running down spine. Profile shows gentle curve to
brow with the slightest of dips in nose line, firm chin and
level bite. Ears medium in size, wide at base and correctly
set. Eyes round in shape but needing to be more ‘open’.
They were a little ‘glassy’ so maybe they were sore and he
did not wish to open them fully. They were, however, well
set and mid blue in colour. Body very nice, medium to long
in length and feeling strong and muscular. Legs medium in
length with medium to large rounded paws. Legs
markings very clear, a mixture of broken rings and small
spots which extend to paws. Tail medium in length, thick
and even with a rounded tip and a clear pattern of well
spaced rings. Coat very nice, short in length, dense and
very soft to the touch. Coat colours a pale cream ground
with mid brown medium to large spots. All spots show a
good contrast to ground colour and all are clearly defined.
Tummy well spotted and there is one necklace although no
chin strap. A well presented lad with a good temperament
and impressive for his age.
BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL KITTEN MALE:
1 EYRE-BROOKS WOTHORPE WICKHAM. A kitten of just
over five and a half months of age and of excellent size
and weight. Head very nice being a broad medium wedge
with gently rounded contours, moderately broad nose and
full and broad muzzle. Excellent face markings with clear
pattern running over head. The profile shows gentle
curves, correct nose line, firm chin and level bite. Ears
medium in size with good width between and correctly set.
Eyes large in size, round in shape, correctly set and a lovely
gold in colour. Body very strong and muscular with a good
feel to it and carried on medium length, strong and
muscular legs and large rounded paws. Leg markings very
clear, a mixture of dashes and broken rings with some spots
interspersed. Tail medium in length, moderately thick and
even and a pattern showing broken rings and many small
spots. Coat very nice, short in length, dense and very soft
to the touch. Coat colours are a bright gold ground with
very dark brown spots although with a beautiful very pale
tummy. Spots primarily medium in size, most of which are
rosetted. The pattern is excellent, very distinct and spots
clearly defined. The tummy shows clear dark brown spots
and there is also one chin strap and two necklaces. A well
presented boy who shows a lot of promise, I really liked
him.
2 HENDERSON’S NEWTONS DUKE. A chap of four and a
half months of age and with an elegant build. Head
generally very well balance with good width across top and
correct broad nose although the muzzle is a trifle ‘fine’ and
needing more breadth to it. Super face markings with
correct pattern running over head. Profile shows gentle
curve to nose line, although nose perhaps a little on the
long side, the chin is firm and the bite level. Ears appear
rather large at present although do have good width
between and are correctly set. Eyes well set and round in
shape although maybe they need to be a little larger. Body
very long and at present I would describe it as elegant,
although this lad is strong and muscular. Legs medium in
length, strong and muscular with large rounded paws.
Front leg markings a mixture of rings with some spots.
Hind flank and leg markings are almost totally tabby with
very few broken lines or spots although there are spots
visible on the paws. Tail long in length and needing to be
thicker. Tail pattern very nice being a mixture of broken
rings, short dashes and small spots. Coat short, although
not dense and lying a little close, it is soft to the touch.
Coat colours pale gold ground with dark brown medium
size spots most of which are arrow headed and all are very
clearly defined and show extreme contrast. Shoulder
markings very complex and the spine line very well broken
and shows a distinct pattern. Tummy clearly spotted, two
joined necklaces and one chin strap complete an overall
excellent pattern. This lad is pleasing but at present his
build is not typical of a Bengal, he is just rangy, but his coat
pattern is superb.
BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB LEE’S OWLSDENE HOTFUZZ. A girl of six months,
well grown and mature for her age. Head very well
balanced with good width across top, slightly longer than
wide with a moderately broad nose with puffed nose
leather and a full strong muzzle. Clear black face markings
with pattern running over head, down neck and scattering
into small to medium sized spots over shoulders. Profile
shows correct curves to brow and nose line with firm chin
and level bite. Ears rather large at present although wide
at base with good width between and correctly set. Eyes
large in size, oval in shape, correctly set and hazel in colour.
Body very nice, long, sleek and muscular with a strong feel
to it. Legs muscular and medium in length with black
broken rings by way of markings with some small spots on
rounded paws. Tail medium in length, thick and even with
a slight taper. Tail pattern shows some broken rings with
a few small spots. Coat absolutely superb, very short, very
dense with a luxurious and soft feel to it. Coat colours a
pale gold ground and a very distinct black pattern giving
extreme contrast. Spot sizes medium to large, some
elongated and all with very sharp outlines. Tummy spots
slightly linked and there is also a thick chin strap and multi
necklaces. This girl was impressive, particularly the quality
of her markings and coat texture.
She was very well
presented and considering her naughty neighbour was
relaxed and easy to assess.
2 JONES’ GLITTERGLAM KATANA. Three and a half months
of age with a little too much ‘Bengal speak’ for her size,
although she had probably been upset by one of her
neighbours. Head excellent being a broad medium wedge,
slightly longer than wide with a moderately broad nose
and a full and broad muzzle, all impressive in such a young
kitten. Good face markings. Profile correct showing gentle
curve to nose line, moderately firm chin and level bite. Ears
medium to small in size, wide at the base and correctly set.
Eyes large in size, oval in shape, correctly set and a bright
gold in colour. Body medium in length, sleek and muscular
and carried on medium length moderately muscular legs
with medium sized paws. Pattern on legs really good,
mainly spots with only a couple of broken rings. Paws show
some small spots. Tail a little on the long side, this is
accentuated by it being a little thin, although the tail
markings are very clear with well separated broken rings.
Coat excellent, short, dense and luxurious and soft to the
touch. Coat colours show a bright gold ground with mid
and dark brown markings. Coat pattern shows some small
elongated spots, some round and spots some very large
elongated spots which look as they may break shortly. The
whole of the coat pattern is very distinct and pleasing.
There is also a clearly spotted tummy, one chin strap and
two well defined necklaces. This girl was beautifully
present, very vocal but not difficult to assess.
3 HIBB’S CRISJAY BEWITCHED. Three days younger that
the previous exhibit making her the youngest in the class
and with lovely manners. Head needs a little more width
across top to balance length although she does have a nice
broad nose but the muzzle is rather strongly indented,
bordering on a pinch. I think this could be due to teething
and hopefully it will correct itself when she has all her
teeth. Face markings clear and correct. Profile shows
gentle curve to nose line, a slightly shallow chin although
the bite is level. Ears medium in size, broad at base with
good width between and correctly set. Eyes round in shape
and well set but need to be larger in size. Body medium in
size, sleek and muscular and well grown for age. Legs
medium in length, fairly strong and muscular with medium
to large paws. Leg pattern is broad rings, some broken.
Tail long and rather fine needing to be broader. Tail
pattern good being a mixture of complete rings, some
broken rings and a few baby spots. Coat very promising as
it is short, fairly dense and soft to the touch. Very good for
a kitten coat. Coat colours are a pale gold ground with
dark brown markings. Spot size mainly small although
there are a lot of them, many of which are arrow headed
and they are all distinct and clearly defined. This girl was
well presented, very easy to assess with a lovely
temperament and is promising given her age.
4 BROOKES SERENAUR STARLET RUBY. Four months of
age, very pretty with a lovely expression. Head well
balanced with good width across top, large and broad nose
and a good strong muzzle. Very clearly marked face with
correct pattern running over head. Profile good with
gentle curve to nose, firm chin and level bite. Ears medium
in size, wide at base and correctly set. Eyes large in size,
round in shape with good width between and correctly set.
Body medium in length, strong and muscular for her age
and carried on medium length muscular legs and medium
sized rounded paws.
Leg markings and pattern
predominately broken rings and as yet no spots on paws.
Tail medium in length, thick and even with a pattern of
some rings and some dashes. Coat very good being short
in length and whilst not particularly dense it is soft to the
touch. Coat colours are a bright gold ground with a mid
brown pattern. Spot size is medium, all are well distributed
but the pattern definition is spoilt by a fair degree of
ticking. This girl was well presented, very happy and easy
to assess.
SNOW MARBLED (AOC-EYED & BLUE-EYED) BENGAL
KITTEN:
1 & BOB ZICCARDI’S SPOTTICATZ MARMO MAGNIFICO (M)
(76b 20). At just over five months of age this lad was well
grown and very muscular. Head reasonably well balanced
with a large and broad nose and strong full and broad
muzzle. For perfection I would have like the head to be a
little more broad. Face markings and pattern fairly clearly
defined and do follow over head and down neck. Profile
good, showing gentle curve to nose line, firm deep chin
and level bite. Ears medium in size with a broad base and
correctly set. Eyes large in size, round in shape, correctly set
and a mid blue in colour. Body is well developed with good
muscle, medium in length and sleek with a good strong
feel to it. Legs medium in length, strong and muscular with
medium sized rounded paws. Legs markings are good and
distinct and show as moderately thick rings. Tail long in
length and of even thickness. Tail pattern is an almost solid
darkish brown colour. Coat short to medium in length and
whilst not particularly dense it is soft to the touch. Coat
colours show as a very pale cream ground with light to
medium brown pattern. Main markings very good being
distinct swirled patches flowing along both sides of body,
29
each distinct in own right. The slightest of smudge
markings on tummy, no chin strap and a very pale necklace.
A promising kitten, well presented, easy to handle with a
laid back temperament.
SILVER MARBLED OR SPOTTED BENGAL (AOC-EYED &
BLUE-EYED) ASSESSMENT A, K:
NO MERIT TO EDWARDS HALLMARK LONG JOHN SILVER
(M) (76 30S): A mature and muscular exhibit of fourteen
months of age. Head fairly well balanced and set on a thick
and muscular neck. Profile shows gentle curves, firm chin
which is heavily soiled. Ears medium in size and well set.
Eyes large, oval in shape and well set. Body strong and
muscular with a good feel to it. Legs medium in length
with a good pattern. Feet large and rounded. Tail medium
in length, moderately thick and well marked. Coat very
nice. Short, moderately dense and soft to the touch. Coat
colours generally a clear white ground with a fairly dense
black pattern. Spot sizes medium to large, some of which
are arrow headed. Temperament and condition both
excellent. A good strong boy, but rather too much
tarnishing to ignore i.e. on muzzle and on all limbs.
MERIT TO AHMED’S PUREBLISS STRATUS (M) (76 20s). A
very welcoming boy of fourteen months of age. Head
nicely balanced with a good strong muzzle, broad nose and
nicely set ears. Profile shows gentle curve, firm chin and
level bite. Eyes large, oval in shape and correctly set. Body
long, strong and feeling fit. Legs medium to long in length,
muscular and very well patterned. Tail long, moderately
thick with a rounded tip. Coat short, not particularly dense
although moderately soft to the touch. Coat colours
sparkling white ground with a clear black random swirling
pattern. All other markings good and clear. Temperament
and condition both excellent. A nice boy with a lovely clear
pattern just spoilt by tarnishing on face only. Very easy to
assess.
MERIT TO WATKINS CRAFTYCATS MARBELLOUS MAX (M)
(76 20s). A strong and challenging boy of six months of
age. Head shows good width across top, good broad nose
though I would prefer the muzzle to be a little stronger.
Ears large with correct width between and well set. Eyes
large, rounded and well set. Body large and muscular with
an excellent feel to it. Legs medium to long in length and
muscular with large rounded paws. Tail long, a little fine
although showing the correct black pattern. Coat very
short, not particularly dense but soft to the touch. Colours
are a sparkling white ground with a variation of grey
forming a random swirling very well defined pattern.
Temperament today difficult although condition excellent.
A very impressive lad with a beautiful build although
slightly difficult to assess. I think maybe his neighbour had
upset him.

sturdy legs, good breadth to chest and firm rump. Broad
rounded masculine head with neat ears well rounded and
placed. Large round eyes of a deep orange colour, snub
nose, level bite with concave uppers, apple cheeks and firm
chin. Excellent head balance. The coat was quite plush
although lacking a little softness down the back, the coat
did stand well from the body. The cream was of a medium
tone quite sound, and the white was pristine. The coat had
been well shown. The face was white with cream patches
to forehead, the body was white well patched with cream,
white to legs, bib and tummy. Short thick fully coloured
tail balanced the body. Super lad with a lovely
temperament.

20.5.2002. A beautiful Ragdoll of excellent type and
quality who really showed to advantage! She was curled
up in the pen, but when we took her out she showed all
her style and I was very impressed. Excellent head with the
true Ragdoll expression and a correct retrousse profile.
Large expressive eyes of very good blue. Firm and muscular
with good boning and feel to her. Lovely silky coat that was
32
dense with the ruff coming along after the Summer.
Pleasing seal tortie points that were well broken with
shades of red. Excellent presentation and condition and an
excellent temperament.
AV FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION MALE:
1 IGC N/A SANDERSON’S GR. CH. CATOMINE FRISKY
FANDANGO 77 M 16.6.2006. When the owner asked me,
after judging was complete, why I had withheld the
Imperial Certificate on her cat, I explained I had problems
with the head type, particularly at this prestigious level. She
told me there are two head types for Singapuras,
unfortunately the Standard of Points I work from only has
one. I felt the ears were reasonably large, fairly wide open
at the base and were cupped but not deeply. The profile
was far too straight showing no sign of the required slight
stop. The skull was rounded. I felt the head was marginally
long and the muzzle lacked breadth and the blunt nose.
Fairly good chin. Large eyes were set well and were wide
open. Very good hazel tone and they were outlined in dark
brown. Medium length body that was firm, lithe and
muscular. Very good legs and tail with a blunt tip. Excellent
coat that was really short, fine, and close lying. Excellent
warm tone to the coat, it was old ivory with a really soft,
warm effect that was very pleasing. Well defined ticking in
sepia. Slight barring on inner front legs and back knees.
Dark salmon nose leather that was outlined. Well defined
cheetah markings. Excellent condition and temperament.
2 MACDONNELL’S UK & IMP. GR. CH. BOUNTIFUL
JACKTHELAD 33A36B M 25.2.2003. This Devon had an
excellent coat that was short, dense and soft. It was of
uniform length and was very well waved. The head formed
a medium wedge with large ears that were set well apart
but I felt they could be broader at the base. The cheek
bones were high but there was not sufficient whisker break
so they were not defined. In profile the stop needs to be
more defined. Good chin. I was not able to assess the bite
as he was rather feisty. Large, oval eyes that were wide set.
Reasonably slender neck. Hard, muscular body, medium
length and broad in the chest. Slim legs an oval paws. The
tail was long and tapering. Excellent condition.
AV FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
1 IGC NOBLE’S GR. CH. SAHSOVA DASHKOVA 16A F
29.11.2002. An elegant female who was very serene and
confident of her beauty. Short wedge with the distance
between the eyes and ears slightly longer. The latter were
large and pointed, wide at the base and set vertically. The
outer line continued the lines of the upper part of the face.
Beautiful eye shape, set and expression, they were a good
green. In profile the forehead was straight with a good
angle. The nose was straight and the depth to the chin very
good. Long body that was well muscled but graceful and
feminine. Long legs with oval paws. Long tail that tapered
and was rounded at the tip. Lovely coat, it was short, very
dense and plushy, fine and soft to the touch. Attractive
medium blue with a distinct silvery sheen. Wonderful
temperament and shown in excellent condition.
RES. WOODLEY’S GR. CH. HONPUSS ZIATH 72 43SNQ F
31.3.2004. A beautiful female of lovely type and
expression, she ran the winner close. From “face on” she
had an excellent short, broad wedge with a blunt finish to
the muzzle. The medium ears were set well apart. Good
width at the jaw hinge. Large eyes, very expressive with the
top line slanting towards the nose and the lower line nicely
rounded. Soft green tone. Very expressive. In profile the
nose was short and there was depth to the chin, but I
would like a more defined break. Very good body, legs and
tail. Excellent, short coat that was fine and close-lying. Very
attractive medium shading that was cool in tone over a
paler beige ground. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC BURMESE GRAND CHAMPION MALE:
1 IGC RUSSELL’S GR. CH. AYSHAZEN HISFATHERS EYES 27
M 16.1.2004. A handsome, relaxed male who was very self
assured and who showed himself to great advantage.
Excellent type and quality. Masculine and muscular but still
elegant. Short wedge with width at the cheekbones and a
blunt finish to the muzzle. The top of the head was gently
rounded, as was the brow when viewed in profile. Medium
ears set well apart; they were broad at the base and
rounded at the tips. Gorgeous eyes! They were large and
lustrous, with the top line slanting towards the nose and
the lower line well rounded. Clear yellow colour and very
expressive. Good yellow tone. Lovely depth to the skull and
there was a distinct nose break with a straight nose, level
bite and good chin. Excellent body, legs and tail. Excellent
coat that was short, fine and very glossy. It was close-lying
and felt like satin. Excellent rich, warm, seal brown. Lovely
condition and superb temperament.
RES. MOORE’S GR. CH. ANOKHI BOY GEORGE 27C M
6.3.2007. Another quality Burmese of excellent type and
balance. He was handsome and relaxed with a super
expression and was a delight to judge. He ran the winner
very close, but he did have the slightest bump on his nose.
Lovely eyes for shape, set and expression. He was an
excellent lilac with the correct pinkish cast. His coat was not
quite as short as the brown’s but it was fine, close-lying and
satiny. Excellent condition and wonderful, confident
temperament.
AC BURMESE GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
JARVIS’S GR. CH. KYMIAN TAMSIN 27A F 16.9.2002. A
really beautiful female who had a superb temperament,
she was affectionate, relaxed and thoroughly enjoying her
day at the show! Excellent type and balance overall. Her
wedge was short, with breadth at the cheekbones and a
blunt finish to the muzzle. The top of the head was gently
rounded with medium ears, broad at the base and rounded
at the tips set well apart. Lovely chartreuse eyes of very
good shape and set. They were very expressive. Very good
profile and chin. Firm, muscular body with fine legs and a
tail that tapered and balanced well. Excellent short, fine
coat that was a soft blue with a distinct silvery sheen. Well
shown in excellent condition and though alone in the class,
well worthy of this high award.
AC ORIENTAL PREMIER:
Exhibit 340 was not able to be handled.
1 GPR JAMES-HART’S PR. KRISTOPHE LITTLEWILLOW 29C
MN 27.1.2006. A long, elegant cat with style. The head was
long and in proportion with width between the large,
pricked ears. The forehead was marginally flat but he had
a good profile. Good chin and level bite. Even lines to the
wedge and fine muzzle. Oriental eyes that slanted towards
the nose with width between them. Good green tone.
Elegant neck. Long body that was firm and muscular with
long, slim legs and small, oval paws. Very nice coat that was
short and fine. It was glossy and close-lying. Good lilac tone
with a pinkish tone. Virtually sound. Excellent condition
and temperament.
PERSIAN BI-COLOURED KITTEN MALE:
1 & BOB POTTER’S PRIMISSION CADFAEL 12A5 M 7.6.2008.
A handsome baby who was confident and affectionate.
Promising type and balance. The head is developing well,
it was broad and well rounded with neat ears, rounded at
the tips and well furnished set well apart and low. Excellent
eyes, large, full and round. The colour at the moment is a
dark “muddy” brown that is promising. Bold, confident
expression. Short, broad nose of even width with a stop;
full leather and nostrils. Full cheeks and rounded forehead.
Good depth to the chin and level bite. Cobby little body
that was well muscled and solid. The chest had breadth.
Short, sturdy legs and large, round, tufted paws. Short,
bushy little tail. Baby coat that was well presented, it was
www.ourcats.co.uk
soft and full. Very attractive markings. The red was virtually
sound and a rich tone; the white was immaculate. Broken
white chevron on the red face with colour extending over
the head. He had a white collar and a red saddle and tail.
White underparts. Small red patch on the back leg.
Beautifully shown in excellent condition with a delightful
temperament.
PERSIAN BI-COLOURED KITTEN FEMALE:
2 (1 N/A) BENNETT’S CLOVERHILL COCO CHANEL 12A5 F
1.5.2008. This female was well grown, firm, solid and
muscular. The head had breadth and was well rounded but
she held her ears rather high. They were small, rounded at
the tips and well furnished, but at present, they could be
wider apart and lower in the contours of the head. The
cheeks were full and the muzzle well developed. The eyes
were large but a little deep set. Orange in tone, I would
have liked the expression bolder. Short, broad nose with a
stop. The leather was a little small. She is teething at
present but the bite was not aligned and she was tipping
her tongue. Strong, sturdy body with breadth to the chest.
Good legs and tail. Full coat that was soft, fine and thick.
She was well presented. There was a white chevron to the
red face with red to the top of the head. White collar. Red
patch on the shoulders, and patches on the lower back with
a red tail. Some white invasion into the red patches. The
white was immaculate and she was well presented. The red
was rich but had some ghost tabby markings. Excellent
condition and temperament. I did not award the first prize
because of the problems with her bite.
TABBY POINT BIRMAN ADULT:
1 & BOB FLINT’S GR. CH. LALOLA STAR LIGHT 13C11 F
26.10.2005. A very attractive female of very good type and
balance overall. Lovely size and substance although still
very feminine. Broad head with rounded contours. Full
cheeks and a well developed muzzle. Slight dip in the
profile and good depth to the chin. Excellent eyes, almost
round and very expressive. Lovely deep, brilliant blue.
Sweet, gentle expression. Very good body, legs and tail.
Beautifully presented to the last hair! The coat was silky
and full with a pleasing ruff to frame the face. Excellent
seal tabby markings and contrast. Warmth to the body.
Neat, snowy gloves and gauntlets.
AOC MAINE COON ADULT:
BOB MURRAY’S GR. CH. ISADORYOU FIREFLY 64 41EW F
18.5.2007. The daughter of my CC winner and a very
beautiful Maine Coon with really rich colours contrasting
with the pristine white. Excellent type and conformation.
Superb coat and pattern. Excellent presentation, condition
and quality.
1 CC MURRAY’S CH. MCKITTYCREEK AURORA 64 41EW F
6.4.2006. A very beautiful female of excellent type and
overall style. Medium length head with firm, square
muzzle. High cheekbones to give that muzzle the correct
balance and definition. Large, tufted ears set tall. Beautiful
eyes with a slightly oblique set and very expressive.
Excellent profile and chin. Long body with breadth of chest
and firm, solid muscle. Long, strong legs and large, round,
tufted paws. Tail balanced well. Rich colouring and clear
classic pattern. White was immaculate. Lovely coat texture
and superb presentation.
1 CC W/H UEBELE’S FARISLE APPLAUSE DREAMER 66T M
14.9.2006. This male had fairly good type overall but his
profile was virtually straight rather than the gentle dip and
retrousse tip required in the SOP. The muzzle fined and I
would expect more strength to it in a male of his age.
Muscular body and good legs. Thin tail of good length. I
think the problem hear was that he had no coat and so
appeared “exposed”. The texture of the remaining coat
was slightly harsh and he lacked contrast. Eye colour rather
pale. Shown in very good condition otherwise and sweet
tempered.
FEMALE:
1 CC & BOB MULLETT’S RAGADORA SCHEHERAZADE 66 F
30.7.2007. This female had lovely Ragdoll type and
expression. Very good head with breadth and balance.
Good profile with a gentle dip and a retrousse tip. The eyes
were a good size and shape but a little pale in tone. Very
good body, legs and tail. Summer coat but well presented.
The seal points matched and there was very good contrast.
2 STACEY’S SNOWSPRITE AMAZING GRACE 66 19.8.2007.
Young female still looking rather immature. The head had
breadth with medium ears set well. The profile needed
more of a dip and was not retrousse at the tip. Eyes a good
shape and set. Pale in tone. The muzzle needs to develop.
Fair chin. The body, legs and tail balance, but she needs
more time to mature. Brindled mask and bleached tail.
Summer coat but a silky texture and showing contrast.
CORNISH REX ADULT:
1 CC & BOB CROSS’S RASTACAT SHAKADELLIC MOJO 33
36A F 5.11.2007. Slender, elegant but muscular female of
very good type and balance. I particularly liked her
inscrutable, wise expression that I thought was typically
Cornish! Medium wedge with high cheekbones. The gentle
wedge narrowed to a rounded muzzle and the chin was
firm. Excellent ears that were large, wide at the base and
tapered to rounded tips. They were set rather high, giving
the correct “look” to the head. Oval eyes of medium size.
The top line was almost straight but there was the slightest
slant to the outer edge of the ears. Elegant neck. Medium
length body that was firm and muscular with long, straight
legs and dainty oval paws. The tail was long, fine and
tapering. Short coat that was quite dense and silky. The
length was virtually uniform. It rippled well and the waves
had depth. Lovely curly whiskers. Excellent condition and
temperament. Self-confident and serene!
USUAL ABYSSINIAN NEUTER MALE:
I could not handle exhibit 239, such a pity but he was so
very upset and I did not want to push the issue – he looked
very handsome!
USUAL ABYSSINIAN NEUTER FEMALE:
Exhibit 240 was really spooked, almost beside herself; I did
not attempt to judge her as it would not have been fair on
her.
DEVON REX NEUTER: I took this class over from Mrs Lynda
Ashmore – I wish her well and hope she is feeling much
better soon.
1 PR/WH REED’S GR. CH. & PR. SOUTHERN KINDRED SPIRIT
33A 43FN MN 12.8.2006. This whole line of cats were upset,
I think this boy was “spooked” because he could see his
reflection in the shiny walls of the pen. He was quite feisty
but I managed to lift him out of the pen but had to return
him swiftly so was not able to judge him properly. Short,
broad wedge with high cheeks and fairly strong muzzle.
The ears were large, set well apart and low but I would like
them wider at the base. He needed more of a whisker
break and the profile lacked a definite stop – it was more
of a dip. Muscular body with good legs and tail. Good coat
that waved well. I was not able to assess his bite. My
comments are from what I could see when he was returned
to the pen. Excellent condition.
ASIAN SMOKE OR BURMILLA NEUTER:
1 PR ERGIS’ PR. RUXHILL SUMERJIZ MADONNA 72 43BSQ
FN 24.9.2006. A very pleasing female who was relaxed,
friendly and a pleasure to judge. Very good head forming
a short, broad wedge with a blunt finish. Medium ears set
well apart and continuing the lines of the upper part of the
face. Lovely eyes, large and luminous. Excellent shape and
colour. Very expressive. Rounded forehead and short nose
but could have a more defined stop. Good chin. Very good
body, legs and tail. Excellent coat that was short, fine, very
close lying and glossy. Very good shaded pattern and a
lovely chocolate silver.
AC PERSIAN RADIUS ADULT:
1 BASEY-FISHER’S CH. SYBARIT KARATE KID 70 3 M
8.5.2006. A handsome blue of very good type and balance
overall. The head was round with breadth of skull. Full
cheeks and muzzle. The ears were a little prominent but I
felt that was due to the fact he had a summer coat. The
ears were rounded at the tips and set wide apart and low.
Rounded forehead and short, broad nose with a stop.
Strong chin. The eyes were large, full, round and a deep
orange tone. Cobby body with a broad chest and a solid,
muscular feel to him. He stood low on strong legs. Good
tail with a rounded tip. As I said, he had a summer coat that
lacked density but it was soft in texture and he was
beautifully presented in excellent condition. Sweet
temperament.
2 TAYLOR’S ANSTEYN DRAKONOIR 1 M 11.10.2007. This
male had good type and balance overall with bold, orange
eyes and a good, muscular feel to him. He had a summer
coat that had shady, grey roots. He had been well prepared
and presented to the best advantage.
3 ANGUS’ GR. CH. PALCHINNO JANEENE KATALA 12 1 F
9.6.2003. This female had good type and balance. The
head was well rounded with breadth of skull. Small ears,
rounded at the tips and set wide apart and low. They were
well furnished. The cheeks and muzzle were full. Rounded
forehead and short, broad nose of even width but the
leather was small. The bit was level. The eyes were rather
deep set and a pale orange tone. I would have preferred a
bolder expression, but she would not open them fully.
Good size with a cobby body and short, strong legs. Large,
round, firm paws with tufts. Summer coat that could have
benefitted from more preparation. The black was rusty in
places and not sound. The red was pale in tone and
unsound. Many patches were broken rather than having
discreet black and red. There was some intermingling of
black and red on the large patches on the spine. Good
temperament.
Pauline Rogers
Many thanks to Barbara and the Committee for the
invitation. To my very helpful steward Julie your company

copper eyes and short nose with break and well formed

coming on her face. Very slight tabby markings over the
back of her head and on her legs. Sparkling white to her
chin, stomach and underside of her short tail. Substantial

AC SILVER TABBY NEUTER:
1 PR & BOB PEARSON’S GR. CH. AVANTI GEMMA (7). A six

have done with more preparation. Showed excellent classic

tabby ovals on his body are mostly well defined, just slightly
lost in places where his coat is changing due to moulting.
Short thick tail with numerous narrow rings to the tip
which is blue. Solid cobby boy standing low on his legs.
Deep broad chest and well muscled body. Super

temperament!
CHOCOLATE-POINT SIAMESE MALE KITTEN:
1 JUDGE’S MALIKASIAMMICKAEL MAGNUM 02 05 08.
Male kitten of very good type. Wedge head with tiny
pinch, almost straight profile and a firm chin, though his
bite is uneven. Oriental eyes of somewhat dull blue tone
.Large ears open at the base but needing more width
between them to balance his head. Firm long body and
legs, whip tail to balance .Fine textured coat unshaded as
yet, points of dark chocolate rather than the milk chocolate
which the standard requires. He had plenty to say for
himself – not all of it complimentary!

much more relaxed character! Wedge head with straight
profile and firm chin. Eyes of good blue, correctly set, just
a little full. Large ears set closely together on narrow top of

Thanks to Barbara Prowse for inviting me to fill in when
Janet Tonkinson was unable to attend – I hope she will be
back to full activity soon. Sorry to those exhibitors who
were disappointed to find me as the replacement. Thanks
also to Joan Pounds who came along specially to steward

forward to the next time.
OPEN CLASSES
ORIENTAL IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
1 (IG CC N/A) TAYLOR’S GR. CH. PIPPASTRO SILMARILIS (62
43s) 29 Jul 05. A mature girl of very good type. Medium
length even wedge, a little broad in the muzzle, good
width at the top, well set ears which ideally would be a
little larger. Profile almost straight, firm deep chin and level
bite. Eyes of good shape and set, of a clear mid-green. Long
well fed body, long legs with largish paws, tail needs an
extra inch or two to balance. Pattern colour jet black, clear
silver undercolour though with quite a bit of tarnishing to
muzzle, the whole length of the front legs and the rear
paws. Although the silver extends only half way up the hair
shaft in places, though mostly two thirds, the surface
spotted pattern is agreeably indistinct. Coat of superb
texture, but unfortunately possessing almost no length – I
have seen oriental shorthairs with longer coats – though
the plume was well furnished as were the ears. Excellent
2 TARBOX’S GR. CH. CHIKUAI LALIMA (37d) 8 Jul 06. An
elegant girl of good type though needing to look more
mature. Longish almost even wedge, though a little
overlong in the muzzle, needing a fraction more width at
the top to balance, well set large ears. Small bump on the
nose but profile otherwise straight, firm chin and level bite.
Eyes of very good shape, set a little straight, olive green in
colour. Long slender body, long legs with tiny paws, long
fine tail. Colour a good red sound to the roots, rather
lacking in brightness – I think the effect of the hall lighting,
since it was a feature of all the red points too – showing
very little pattern on the body, close coat of good texture.
Superb temperament, excellent presentation.
TABBY POINT KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB SIMPSON’S SHERMESE YESTERDAYS DREAMS
(32/1) 16 May 08. A promising baby of very good type.

low at times. Small dip in profile, firm chin and level bite,
Eyes of very good shape and set and of a good depth of
blue. Long slender body, long legs with neat paws,
balancing length of tail. Marked in a rather dark shade of
seal which ideally would be warmer in tone: considering
the colour, the clarity of the markings was disappointing,
though of course there’s plenty of time for them to
develop: “M” half formed, clear thumbprints, beginnings
of double ribbons, faint leg bars, tail two thirds ringed but
those towards the base mostly agouti. Lightly shaded body
which I would also like to see warmer in tone. Close coat of
excellent texture. Excellent temperament if a little worried,
presumably at her first show, excellent presentation.
TORTIE POINT KITTEN FEMALE:
1 (BOB N/A) WILSON’S HUBBELL TITTLETATTLETALLY (32b3)

the brow and with a dip below, deep chin but the front of
the head angled back slightly rather than the preferred
vertical line, bite level. Eyes of good shape and set,
unfortunately needing distinctly more depth of blue. Long
well fed body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra
fraction to balance. Points quite a dark though warm
chocolate, all broken if rather sparsely on the right side but
www.ourcats.co.uk
quite well on the left, but the breaks as yet lacking in
foreground red and therefore any brightness. Coat a little
long but of good texture, excellent temperament and
presentation.

an olive green. Long slender but muscular body, long legs

upper back, to rear paws and well up the outer thigh,

up the sides, the whole chest, most of the front legs, just

I would like to thank Barbara and the committee for
inviting me today. It was a super day with some lovely
exhibits. Thank you very much to Marilynn Skulski who
came especially to steward for me. She handles the cats
with her usual care and attention. It was good to catch up;
I hope we will do it again soon.
RED, CREAM & TORTIE POINT BIRMAN ADULT MALE:
1 CC withheld YEOMAN’S CH. AYLPURRTONA REDDY
TEDDY (13c5) (16.06.07). Young immature male who is very
unbalanced at present with fair Birman type. Rounded
skull, quite broad head but he currently has quite narrow
cheeks and muzzle giving him more of a triangular rather
than rounded head type; this was my primary reason for
withholding the CC today. Almost round eyes of a nice
blue well set. Slight dip in profile with a bump. Very weak
and receding chin, slightly overshot bite. Good long body
and good body weight. Thick set limbs and strong paws.
Quite dirty feet, I am not sure if he had had an accident
today. Good gloves. Reasonably even socks. Very very low
gauntlets, due to the dirty talcy feet it was difficult to assess
the gauntlets but they appeared to be ok and almost
matched and even. Very harsh coat, pale with some
shading to the back, would have benefited from more
preparation. Medium bushy tail. Very cross today and
didn’t want to be handled.
FEMALE:
1 & BOB YEOMAN’S CH. ESAYA PURFIK PURINDOORS
(13c5) (01.04.06). Lovely young female of almost 2 ½ years
of age with very good Birman type, however I was quite
concerned about her eye colour which is very pale and
mottled. Strong rounded skull with a good broad head,
full cheeks and super rounded muzzle. Good dip in profile
with quite a bump. Slightly weak chin and level bite.
Medium ears spaced well apart. Almost round eyes, with
a lovely expression and very well set but as I have said
earlier, very pale and mottled eye colour. Pink nose leather.
Good strong red points colouring to ears, mask and paler
legs. Long body with very good boning and body weight.
Thick set limbs and strong paws. Slightly scalloped gloves
the left goes to the stopper pad at the back. Even socks.
Medium to long gauntlets, slightly uneven, left is medium
in length and full in shape and tapers off at the top. The
right is also a good shape, almost to the hocks and hooks
around to the inside at the top. Slightly short but bushy
tail. Pale coat, dense and a little harsh on the top, with
some shading to the shoulders and back but pale at the
roots. Medium long with a medium ruff and shirtfront
framing the face. Well prepared. Lovely temperament.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN KITTEN MALE:
1 BUSH’S KUTAZA KITO (13c2) (21.02.08). Substantial young
kitten of almost 7 months of age and of very good Birman
type. At the moment he is growing really fast and is all at
in-between stages, once he fills out a little he will be more
balanced. Slate grey points to all points but with paler legs.
Strong rounded skull, broad head with full cheeks and
quite a rounded muzzle. Slight dip to profile with a
pronounced nose bump. Slightly weak chin, needs a little
more depth. Bite slightly overshot at present. Ears are very
tall at present. Almost round eyes with quite pale blue eye
colour especially around the rims. Good gloves, almost
even, left extends at the back but not past stopper pad.
Even socks. Uneven gauntlets, left is low, and quite
pointed. Right is medium in length and nicely shaped and
tapered. Excellent long body with excellent body weight
and substance for his age, with strong limbs and paws.
Medium length pale coat with very slight shading to the
back. Very dense and plush, very well prepared. Slightly
short but bushy tail. Very promising kitten, who just needs
some time to mature and grow into his frame, lovely
temperament.
2 DEAR & COOPER’S PICNMIX VELVET AZURE (13c2)
(17.04.08). Another lovely kitten with a very typical Birman
expression and very good Birman type. He ran the winner
very close today, he is just 5 months old. Almost round eyes
with a lovely expression and excellent eye colour and
shape. They just looked a little sore today, but the duty vet
assured me there was nothing to worry about. Strong
skull, broad head and slightly narrow muzzle. Medium ears
set well apart. Slight brindling around the eyes and on the
whisker pads, other than that, good blue grey points, with
paler legs. Slightly weak chin and level bite. Good long
body for age, with very good body weight and substance.
Strong limbs and large paws. Low scalloped gloves. Even
socks. Very very low but very even gauntlets very pointed
in shape. Medium bushy tail. Pale coat, soft and silky, no
real shading and length developing well. No ruff yet
developed. Lovely kitten who will go far, lovely
temperament.
FEMALE:
1 & BOB PIKE’S CAROONA BOUNCING BUNDLE (13c2)
(04.03.08). Super kitten who has really grown and
developed since I saw her last. Unfortunately she was very
naughty today and is quite strong willed, I do hope that
she calms down a little as she grows up! Just over 6 months
of age and with very good Birman type. Strong skull with
a good broad head and full rounded cheeks and muzzle.
Lovely dip to profile. Would benefit from a little more
strength to the chin but level bite. Ears still slightly little tall
at present. Good blue grey points to head and tail with
paler legs. Very expressive, almost round eyes with good
blue eye colour, just slightly pale at the rims. Very well set.
Slightly low and scalloped gloves, right extends to the

to medium gauntlets, quite even in shape, left dips in at
the side. The right has a trail off the top of the gauntlet
but it does attach to the gauntlet. Good long body with
very good body weight and boning. Thick set limbs and
strong paws. Lovely pale coat, soft and silky with hardly
any shading. Good medium ruff and shirtfront developing
nicely. Slightly short but bushy tail. Very promising kitten.
2 PHILLIPS’ LALOLA RIVERDANCE (13c2) (03.04.08).
Another lovely type kitten, I was so sorry to see that she
has a withholding fault. She has a large coloured spot in
the middle of her left gauntlet. Strong skull, broad head
and full rounded cheeks with muzzle developing nicely.
Slight dip in profile. Almost round eyes with very good
blue eye colour. Slightly weak chin and level bite. Long
body with good body weight and substance for her age.
Soft, and silky, pale coat, medium in length with texture

thin and pointed in shape. Very pale coat, soft and silky
kitten coat developing well. Lovely temperament.
FEMALE:
2 1st Withheld YEOMAN’S PURINDOORS TIMEWILLTELL
(13c6) (07.07.08). Very sweet kitten of just over 4 months of
age and with very good Birman type. Unfortunately she
has a runner on the left front leg from her dew pad
extending up the leg, as this was my reason for
withholding 1st prize today. Strong skull, good broad head
with quite full cheeks and a nicely rounded muzzle. Lovely
expressive eyes of a good blue, very well set. Ears a little
tall at present. Firm chin and level bite. Slight dip to
profile. Very attractive mottled seat tortie markings to
mask and ears. Good body weight for her age but a little
fine in boning and frame. Very pale, soft and silky kitten

shame about the runner.

a pleasure to judge her and I was pleased to hear from her
owners later that this was her 2nd PC in consecutive
outings. I am sure it won’t be long before she adds a new
title to her collection.

(17.03.07). Massive and handsome lad of good NFC type
and at just 18 months. Good triangular head, he puffs his
whisker pads out which can make his muzzle look quite
squared off at times. Despite this he has a typical NFC look.
Almost straight profile. Firm chin and level bite. Forehead
a little too flat. Large well opened eyes, oval and obliquely
set. Quite large ears, which could be a fraction bigger for
perfection and set a little higher on the head. Very long
body of excellent substance. Excellent boning, he is just a
bit overweight and this does spoil the elegance of his lines
a bit. Strong long limbs and large paws with good
snowshoes. Very good NFC stance. Very good coat quality
and texture, especially considering he is a smoke. Very
good, long and glossy guard hairs with a well developed
and woolly undercoat. Long tail which is a little sparsely
furnished. Lovely temperament.
2 COSCATHHAS WOT HAPPENED WOZ (67 31dts)
(12.10.07). Super youngster, who was unfortunately
extremely nervous today. He has a very gentle nature but
was really very unhappy about being at the show today
and took particular exception to my tickling stick! Such a
shame. He is only 11 months of age, so I do hope that he
will overcome his fear in time. Attractive red silver tabby
and white coat pattern. Very good NFC type with an
excellent triangular head. Straight profile. Firm chin and
level bite. Large oval eyes, set obliquely with a lovely
gentle expression. Large ears, well opened but sadly he
would not put them up for us today. Excellent long body
with very good boning and body weight. Excellent coat
quality and texture with a very good glossy top coat and
glossy guard hairs and with a woolly undercoat. Lovely
gentle temperament.
FEMALE:
1 PC withheld CANDLERS NORSKWOOD BORGHILD (67 18)
(06.10.07). Young female of just under a year in age she
has fair NFC type but she is still very immature. I was sorry
to withhold the PC today but she is really too small of
frame and too fine boned for the breed. Nice triangular
head but I would like to see it a little longer. Quite a dip
in her profile. Slightly weak chin and level bite. Large eyes,
well opened and set slightly obliquely. Large ears, well
furnished but set too wide part . Good coat quality and
texture but needs time to develop and lengthen. Lacking
in ruff and shirtfront at present. Tail just long enough.

SEAL POINT BIRMAN ADULT FEMALE:
1 CC & BOB PIKE’S CAROONA DUTCH’S FIRST BORN (13c1
8/8/07). Young girl of quite pleasing type – at an awkward
age and with a few areas that she needs to develop as she
gets older. Good width to head. Medium ears held well,
just a fraction open at present. Eyes of good size & shape.
The colour is slightly pale blue, but a deeper shade is
coming in at the centre, so hopefully this will deepen as
she matures. Medium nose showing slight dip in profile.
Fairly good width to cheeks. Bite fractionally overshot. Chin
needs to strengthen just a little as she matures. Coat of
good length and very well presented for show. Golden hue
to back with fractional shading to shoulders & flanks. Dark
seal to all points. Gloves slightly low, but there is white to
all toes. Well matched socks. Gauntlets well matched, just
a fraction short. Fairly well grown lass with good body
length. Medium tail, fairly well furnished. She certainly
knows a few swear words, and treated us to a few of them
whilst judging! Later with mum she was all cuddles, so
perhaps she was just unsettled by her neighbours earlier.
BLUE POINT BIRMAN ADULT MALE:
1 CC PIKE’S CH. ATHREYU OF THE BLESSED ONES (IMP)
(13c2 23/5/06). How lovely to see that this lad has matured

a mature head now with medium ears that are held well.

with good dip, just slightly roman. Good width to cheeks.

nose with good dip. Good width to cheeks. Level bite and
good chin. Coat well prepared and of good length. Almost

giving the others a strong run for the money – it was very
close for 2nd and 3rd. Good width to head – ears of good

evident. Quite well developed ruff & knickerbockers. Cool
background colour and quite clear tabby markings

passed by so quickly. My thanks to the show managers,
Sarah and Kate, and the club for the invitation and
hospitality. Special thanks also to both Eileen and Marlene
for their excellent company and wonderful help on the day
which was greatly appreciated.
AC PERSIAN IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE:
IMP CRAIG & BELL’S GR. CH. & INT. CH. VITA-NOVA’S
DREAMER. A very handsome black silver spotted tabby
boy of three years of age. A solid well muscled boy who
was a true heavy weight. Well rounded massive head with
great width of skull and a rounded forehead. Ears were
small, round tipped and spaced far apart. Fat chubby
cheeks with a very short nose that was very broad and had
a strong break, a small deep pink nose leather but with
good size nasal openings. He had a strong balanced chin
and a full muzzle that had well spotted whisker pads and
a scissor bite. The eyes were large and well rounded when
he agreed to open them for us and had good copper
colour. He had a short thick neck and a well rounded rump
supported on short stocky legs with large rounded paws.
The coat was thick and fairly dense but not at its best at
this time of year as he was moulting slightly but the coat
stood out fairly well from the body. The tail was short and
thick and showed definite tabby rings. Tabby markings
were very clear throughout, being a dense black and
contrasting well with a silver ground colour. There were
numerous clear spots on his body sides and flanks with
three broken spine lines visible down his back. Head
markings were very clear showing lines running over the
top of his head and pencilling on his cheeks. Clear necklaces
around the neck and bracelets were seen on his limbs. A
most relaxed gentle cat who really wanted to have a
snooze and not be disturbed.

IMP DEMBSLI’S GR. CH. LINDENLEA VANILLA. A blue and

supported on short stocky legs. The coat was very long and
full and was of a mid blue shade. It felt soft and was of a
lovely soft texture and was a mid blue shade with sparkling
white areas. She had a complete white collar and a white
bib and underside and was mainly blue over her back
region with a short bushy blue tail. The white forelimbs
had blue spots and the blue hind limbs had white spots.
The head was broad and rounded with neat well placed
blue ears. There was an inverted white chevron on her
lower facial area covering the muzzle and with a strong
blue chin and a scissor bite. She had large round eyes which
she tried to keep shut for as long as possible but when
open, displayed good copper eye colour. She had a short
nose with a definite stop and a full pink nose leather. A girl
with a lovely nature and who was shown with expert
presentation.
I understand she was made up to an Imperial today.

forehead and pencilling on her chubby cheeks. She had
clear spectacles around her eyes and black tabby lines
running over the top of her head. The body colours were
bright and with good patching showing black tabby
markings on a bright copper brown agouti ground colour
and overlaid with rich shades of red. The bib and body
underside was pure white and she had four white legs that
had patches on all four. The tail was very short and thick
and had numerous excellent clear tabby rings. The coat was
fairly dense but not fully plush on the day as she was
moulting heavily and was lying a little flat since I last saw
her which was the reason for her lower placing. A girl with
the sweetest nature who was not in peak condition today
to obtain an imperial award.
AC PERSIAN NON-SELF PREMIER MALE:
1 GR. PC. CARMICHAEL’S PR. JUSCARI EMLYN. A three year
old golden boy who has open type and who was of
medium build, cobby in shape and who was a little light in
weight for a male cat. Head shape was square, rounded
and smooth with a fair amount of width between the ears
which were fairly neat and had long ear feathering. He had
large round eyes with good blue green eye colour and
showing a dark outline. The nose was of medium length
and had shallow nose break with a full deep pink nose
leather lacking the darker seal brown outline. The chin was
firm and the cheeks could have been fuller while he had a
scissor bite. The coat was long and flowing and had a warm
apricot golden undercoat. The chin, chest and tummy were
a paler shade of apricot while his back, flanks and tail were
a rich golden shade with black tipping that was fairly even
and only slightly denser over the lower back and tail. He
had a full frill framing his face and the tail was short and
very bushy. The legs were short and stocky and had seal
brown paw pads with solid seal brown heels on the paws.
A well prepared exhibit who handled like a gentleman.
AC PERSIAN NON-SELF PREMIER FEMALE:
1 only GR. PC. Withheld HARVIE’S PR. OWLETTS LARA. A
two year old black silver tabby Exotic girl with very good
type who I have had the pleasure of meeting some time
ago. A pretty female with very good classic tabby markings.
She had a medium sized cobby body shape with thick legs
supporting a low set frame. The head is well rounded,
square in shape with a smooth skull, with a clear ‘M’ on her
forehead and well set ears that were small and round
tipped. The eyes were large and fully round and had good
copper eye colour and faint paler spectacles. The short snub
nose had a very strong stop and a small deep pink nose
leather outlined with black. Fat cheeks and a well spotted
muzzle that was showing some tarnishing which could
have been slight food staining around her mouth. The
cheeks had good pencilling and there were clear strong
black lines running over the top of head. The chin was firm
and she had a good scissor bite. Contrast was good
between the black tabby markings and the silver ground
colour. The back had three lines down the centre with the
middle one not so evident and there was a butterfly over
her shoulders. She had several necklaces and bracelets on
her legs. The tail was short and fat and had good tabby
rings visible. The tarnishing on her muzzle and her coat
really let her down today as she was moulting heavily and
so the coat did not feel plush and lacked in density which
I regret were the reasons for withholding the Grand
premier award. I feel sure that this decision may be quite
different on another day when she is in better coat.
CHINCHILLA ADULT:
1 CC & BOB SLEIGH’S STARSPANGLE ZOWIE BOWIE. A well
built boy of one year who had good type and was still
rather young looking but had everything in place to win
me over. Body shape was nice and cobby with short thick
legs and rounded paws. His head was very broad, well
rounded and smooth with ears that were fairly small but
sitting a little open at present and had lovely long silvery
ear furnishings. Beautiful round eyes that were large and
had very good blue green eye colour with a black mascara
surround and with a sweet sleepy expression. The short
nose had a shallow nose break and a deep pink nose
leather with a faint darker outline. The cheeks and muzzle
were fairly broad but need to develop greater width which
hopefully he will as he matures. The chin was firm and he
had a perfect level bite. The coat was of medium length
and was a clean sparkling white with a fully white chin, bib
and underside. The tipping was black and was very light
www.ourcats.co.uk
over the head and body and only just slightly denser on the
rump and tail regions. He had a long frill and a short fluffy
tail and the texture of the coat was soft, silky to touch and
was well presented. A promising boy with a good show
temperament.
TORTOISESHELL COLOURPOINT ADULT:
1 CC & BOB MALCOLMSON’S RISETTA ROSEBUD. I just
loved this little tortiepoint girl who I met recently at a
show. She had a very well balanced cobby body shape with
a broad rounded rump region and short dumpy legs.
Square head shape with a sweet apple face and good
width between the small solid seal brown ears that had
lovely long ear feathers. Rounded forehead with fat
chubby cheeks and lovely large round eyes which had good
blue eye colour which appeared to be still changing in the
hall lights as she is only just an adult. Her nose is short with
a small nose leather and good size nostrils. She has a broad
muzzle, fat chubby cheeks and a very strong chin with a
scissor bite. The mask covers the face well and had clear
tortie colours of rich seal and shades of red and cream
which matched the other body points and having all four
feet broken. The coat was long and full with a lovely frill,
fluffy trousers and a very bushy tail shaped like a christmas
tree. It was soft and was of a pale cream colour with some
slight shadiness on the flanks and tummy regions. A little
poppet who was well presented and easy to handle. I
understand that she got made up to Champion today for
which I send my congratulations.
CHINCHILLA KITTEN:
1 & BOB SLEIGH’S STARSPANGLE INDIANA. A very sweet
kitten with good type aged four months. Well grown boy
with sturdy legs supporting a firm solid body with a cobby
shape. Good head width for a baby which was smooth and
had fairly neat ears that were sitting a little high and open
at present and which I am sure will drop in time as he
matures. He had large eyes, well rounded with eye colour
that was still not determined and still changing. The nose
was short and had a shallow nose break with a pink nose
leather, not yet brick red, with darker edging present. He
had good cheek width with a firm chin and a perfect level
bite. The muzzle was a little pinched due no doubt to the
fact he was in the middle of teething. The coat was soft
and very long and was silky in texture. It was a sparkling
white and had light tipping that was very even all over the
body and tail. The chin, bib and underside were pure white
and he had a short fluffy tail. A promising baby who was
well presented and with a pleasing friendly nature.
BLUE-CREAM NEUTER:
1 PC & BOB DEMBSKI’S BAUDRONS BEAUTIFUL DREAMER.
A girl with good Persian type who was approaching eight
years of age and still in good condition. She was cobby and
had a firm solid body shape with short legs. Head shape
was square with a smooth forehead and neat ears that
were sited far apart on the skull and which had long ear
feathers. The cheeks were fat and chubby and she had well
rounded eyes of large size with orange eye colour that
appeared a little pale in the hall lights and which may have
been due to her age. Her nose was broad and very short
with a strong nose break and a full blue nose leather and
good size nostrils. We tried to see her bite but she was
determined not to let us see it and was an expert at
wriggling out of the way so it was not assessed on this
occasion. The chin was balanced and firm and was of a
cream shade. The face had small cream patches over her
eyes and cheeks but the coat colours on her body were well
intermingled with blue and cream and were pale and
sound. She had a short frill, good fluffy trousers and a
bushy short tail. Show preparation was good and she was
happy to be handled.
GOLDEN PERSIAN NEUTER:

SEAL POINT BIRMAN KITTEN:
1 & BOB LEPPARD’S KLASSYKLOGS KATRIONA. I was
delighted to meet this pretty kitten who has lovely Birman
type. She was well grown for her age of five months having
a firm, solid body set on strong balanced medium height
legs. Her head was well rounded and of good width with
well set ears of medium size. She had very good width of
cheeks for a kitten which should fill out even more as she
matures. The nose was of medium length and had the
correct shallow dip in profile with a full nose leather of
dark seal brown. A firm, slightly tapering chin balanced the
lower part of the face and she had a level bite. Her eyes
were almost round and had fabulous deep blue eye colour
and lovely sweet expression. The mask of seal brown was
developing well over the facial area and matched the other
points very well with the tail just slightly paler in colour,
well furnished and was of medium length and balanced
the body length. The coat was lovely and clear, of a good
length and was soft and silky in texture and was a pale
beige shade with no shadiness present anywhere. The front
paws had matching gloves that were very slightly scalloped
but were very well matching on the underside of the paws
and were pure white. The socks on the hind legs were
pristine white and were not completely matching on the
upper part of the foot but covered the entire paw. The
gauntlets were of good matching lengths and had one that
was very well tapered and the other just slightly blunter. A
promising little girl with a lovely gentle temperament and
expertly shown.

Full round eyes of large size had greenish eye colour and a
slight oblique setting. His nose was long, of uniform width
and having a shallow curve at the nasal bridge and a full
brick red nose leather. High cheek bones present and a
muzzle which could have been more square but this boy is
young and only just over a year old and has plenty of time
to develop and mature further. The coat was glossy and full
with a frontal ruff developing. The tail was well furnished
but could have been longer for perfection and tapered
towards the tip. Classic tabby markings were well defined
with strong black markings on a warm copper agouti
ground colour. He had a clear ‘M’ on his forehead, head
lines and pencilling on his cheeks. There were strong
unbroken spine lines, a butterfly over his shoulders and
oysters on his flanks. His bib, chest and tummy were a clean

very well although the tail was slightly lighter in shade and
was full and in proportion to the body length. His coat was
very lovely, being soft, long and of a pale beige shade and
free of any shadiness and the tail was well furnished. His
gloves and socks were sparkling white and were both well
matched and level with the gloves reaching almost to the
stop on the underside of the paws. The gauntlets were also
level, symmetrical and well matched. Show preparation
was excellent and this boy had a gentle pleasing nature
and I feel a promising future as he has plenty of time to

BLUE POINT KITTEN [MALE]: 1 entry
1 (BOB W/H) ROBB’S RIVANESS BERTIE WOOSTER 24a-Male
10/03/08. Large elegant and stylish chap of wonderful size
for just over 6 months. Long wedge head of excellent
strength with large open based ears set well on his head
that on occasions he could hold these slightly high but
much better when relaxed. Excellent straight, almost
roman profile with firm chin and level bite. Eyes of
excellent shape - although when I judged him he did have
the tendency to open them a bit wide - and of a gorgeous,
vivid blue. (I did go back later and he was far more relaxed
and they were a much better oriental shape.) Excellent long
38
muscular body extremely well grown with elegant limbs
and huge feet, he is going to be a large lad when he grows
up. Points colour was of a very dark, slatey blue - too dark
for the standard and even when I took him to natural light
it did not improve, there was also what appeared to be the
start of brownish tones developing to the back of his ears
and the underside of his paws. The pads where of a very
dark purple tone, as was his nose leather. His colour was
my reason for withholding the BOB. His coat was of an
excellent texture and was very close lying but I could not
see much evidence of glacial tones to this. His condition
and temperament were superb and he seemed to enjoy his
day. I will be interested to see how his colour develops.
TABBY POINT KITTEN [FEMALE]: 1 entry
This young lady was entered in my Judges book as a Lilac
Tabby (32/4) but when I arrived at her pen she was clearly
a Blue Tabby Point (32/2). I confirmed this with a Full Judge
of the breed. Upon checking the entry form she was
entered as a lilac tabby and I therefore had no choice but
to “wrong colour” her. Later, I was informed by the Show
Manager that she had indeed been re registered as a blue
tabby and the owner had forgotten to change this earlier.
The Show Manager asked if I would consider re judging
the class and in light of this I duly did.
1 BOB BRASH’S RIVANESS MISS PRIZZY 32/2 Female
10/03/08. Dainty, fine boned young miss who was slightly
nervous but soon relaxed with cuddle. She has a shorter
wedge head of balanced length with a slight pinch; good
top of head with well set large wide at base ears; straight
profile; firm chin and level bite. Her nose leather is pink
rimmed with a darker blue. Her eye colour was of a bright
blue but could ideally have had more depth to colour. Body
type was slender and stylish with elegant limbs and dainty
spoon feet. Her colour was of a mid to darker blue with
cool toned tabby tracings with “M”, one and a half cheek
ribbons and discernable thumb prints not often visible on
dilutes, She shows bracelets on her legs and the tail is
ringed for more than half its length, which was of a good
length. Her coat texture was excellent though I would have
preferred her coat shorter. Overall a pretty lady in excellent
condition.

1 SHAND’S GR. CH. ANDALYN AMADEUS 24 Seal Point
Male 04/06/06. Very imposing young man of excellent
overall type. Strong, longer wedge head with very wide
top and beautifully aligned ears. He has a Romanesque
profile with firm chin; bite untidy but level. Eyes of
excellent deep, navy blue and of lovely shape and set with
an inscrutable expression. Body of somewhat diminutive
proportions that I would ideally prefer to be more
masculine but having said that he is heavy and in lovely
condition. Long whipped tail to balance. His points are of
a dark seal brown with a good deal of warmth. He is
heavily shaded for his age and I would have preferred more
contrast but this was evident and the shading was warm in
tone. Coat texture is slightly dry but close lying and short.
His pads and nose leather were seal brown. Overall a Stylish
young man who I would prefer to ‘butch’ up just a bit more
though at this age I understand this is not going to happen.
2 FRASER’S GENETTA GLENISLA 24a Blue point Female
12/11/07. Petite and dainty youngster of good type. She
has a short, broad wedge head somewhat dominated by
her large rounded eyes - incorrect for the breed although
of a lovely deep blue colour. Her ears could be larger and
have more flare but they did have good width between
them. Her profile was straight and when viewed from the
side she lacked depth to her wedge and could have had a
deeper chin. She has a lithe muscular body of excellent
length and weight with elegant limbs and dainty oval paws
and whip tail of excellent length. She is an excellent blue
colour with soft muted cool toned points and glacial white
coat with minimal tonal shading this is also of a super
texture. She is in superb condition with a charming sweet
nature and presented beautifully.

1 LINTON’S SIARUNG CINNAMON FIZZ 32B7 Cinnamon
Tortie Point 10/08/07. Dainty svelte young miss of good
type. Medium length, slightly narrow wedge with a blunt
muzzle; straight profile and firm chin with a scissor under
bite. Eyes of lovely shape and set though marginally
exaggerated which exacerbated her head width by making
her look narrower than she actually is. Her ears are of a
good size but set too close together and could ideally do
with more width at base, elegant body of nice length but
I would like to see her larger overall for her age. Legs
elegant and dainty with tiny little spoon feet, whip tail of
excellent length, her points colour is lovely spicy cinnamon
and all points show breaks with varying shades of paler red.
Body colour of a lovely clear ivory tone free from shading.
Overall a sweet inquisitive girl in superb condition and

Oriental Spotted Tabby Male 18/12/07. Youngster of good
type with medium wedge head ideally needing more width
between large ears with good width at base. Straight
profile with firm chin and a noticeably undershot bite that
was also untidy. Eyes of good shape and set but of a
yellowish green. Adolescent body needing to muscle up as
yet needing to lengthen and firm up. Displaying fine limbs
and feet and a good length, ringed tail with an invisible
pip at the tip. Warm toned chocolate colour with a warm
bronze ground showing double broken necklaces one and
a half cheek ribbons and M with lines running over his head
down to a broken spine line, there were spots visible but
many were linked. The extensive agouti invasion on the
pattern rather spoilt the overall impression. The nose
leather and pads were of a good chocolate, he had a
couple of leg bars and his tail was well ringed with a solid
coloured tip. A young boy let down by his bite, tail and
pattern faults, presented in lovely condition.

3 BODDY’S EMERPUS LUCIFER 41B Chocolate Oriental
Classic Tabby Male Neuter 06/06/06 Stately gentleman of
good type. Strong broad head with good top. Straight
profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes slightly full of a mid
green set well oriental in shape that he could open wide
when not relaxed; well nourished body with strong legs.
His colour is a dark but warm chestnut pattern with a
warmish bronze ground. He has a clear scarab which forms
lines which run down the back of his head to form his spine
line, he shows a chin strap and two cheek ribbons with one
indistinct broken necklace; the butterfly is evident but has
slipped somewhat and there is a distinct lack of spots
surrounding this. The oysters are there but again elongated
and the spine lines for me could be more distinct as they
appear somewhat diffused and invaded by the agouti. His
tail is of excellent length and shows typical wide classic
tabby rings. That said the coat is of excellent texture and
well presented, although please cut his claws he is not keen
on coming out to be handled and this makes life far more
difficult as he insisted on clinging to the back of the pen.

OPEN CLASSES
SIAMESE/BALINESE IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE:
IMP. GD. CC SHAND’S GD. CH. ANDALYN AMADEUS (24)
04/06/06. A very stylish boy, not the largest of males but he
has certainly matured since our last meeting and has a
good amount of substance to him now. Excellent head
type with wide top line and very large flared ears set to
balance. Oriental eye shape and set with excellent colour,
not always seen in seals these days. Almost straight profile
and firm chin, bite a touch untidy and missing a couple of
top incisors but appears level. Long and well muscled
body, very elegant yet masculine, long limbs, tail needs a
touch more length for balance. Dark dense seal with some
warmth of tone evident, some shading over top of skull
but there is still sufficient contrast. Excellent short sleek
coat, beautifully prepared, somewhat heavily shaded, but
again sufficient contrast. Although rather tense, his
temperament was very gentle, presentation excellent.
SIAMESE/BALINSES IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE:
1 IMP. GD. CC w/h SHAND’S GD. CH. SHIMILEETA
SPARKLING ICE (32/1) 04/06/05. This lady has some very
good qualities but unfortunately her bite is clearly
undershot which precludes the awarding of this high
award. A big strong girl of very good type, longer wedge
with good top line and good size ears very well set. Very
good eye shape, set and colour. Strong profile, deep strong
and almost pugilistic chin, giving away the aforementioned
undershot bite. Long, substantial and firm toned body,
long strong limbs for a female, and long well tapered tail.
Excellent tabby pattern, very dark seal and beautifully clear
on all points, with good scarab, thumb prints and double
cheek ribbons, bracelets which are normally much paler
were very well defined along the entire length of the
forearm, and the tail was excellently ringed. Excellent coat
for length and texture, beautifully sleek and close lying
with medium shading to tone. Perfect to handle and
excellently presented, it is such a shame about the bite.
AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER FEMALE:
GD. PC FRENCH’S GD. CH. & PR. NEXIS MADAMEWAZEL
CARAMEL (32/8) 25/05/04. Stylish little lady, not totally
convinced she is caramel but the lighting was not very
helpful. Neat medium wedge with very good top of head,
ears in proportion and well set. Lovely eyes for shape, set
and depth of colour. Good profile and chin, bite untidy
with a few top incisors missing but looks reasonably level.
Well covered body, firm toned and elegant, dainty limbs
and paws, tail to balance. Very good tabby markings in
what appeared to be darker blue, although there was a
hint of a brownish overtone on the tail rings, which were
really excellent, and her coat colouring is too warm for blue
with slightly muddy shading down the spine. Scarab well
defined but typically lacks thumb prints. Coat length and
texture very good and close lying. Temperament and
presentation excellent. I understand this gives her the
double title today, congratulations.
R. SPENCE’S PR. SCOTMAR CLASSIE LASSIE (24a) 09/04/07.
Neat little female of very good type. Medium length
wedge with very good top line and large ears well set, but
which she tends to bonnet at times. Almond shaped eyes
marginally straight set, with very good depth of colour. Tiny
dip to profile over nose, good firm chin and level bite. Long
and slender but firm toned body, long dainty limbs and
neat spoon paws, well tapered tail almost balances. Points
colouring a touch dark but matching well. Medium shading
to short close coat, showing good glacial tones to bib and
tummy. Lovely temperament, purred the whole time, she
loved being handled and didn’t really want to be put back
in her pen. Excellently presented.
HAVANA ADULT MALE:
CC TOSUN’S ADSETSH RUDOLPH 25/12/06. A big strong lad
of good type, mature and masculine. Strong medium
wedge, albeit a touch jowly, with good top line and largish
ears well set. Oriental eye shape and set with excellent
colour. Almost straight profile and good chin with level
bite. Long weighty and well muscled body, long strong
limbs and oval paws, tail almost balances but could be
more tapered. Havana coat was really quite dark, however
it did show some warmth of tone and looked a whole lot
better when he came out of his pen. In the hall lighting I
could not justify withholding the certificate, particularly as
his coat was mainly sound, free from ghosting and the most
wonderful sleek texture. Overall a handsome lad who
handled well for such an obviously masculine person.
Excellently presented.
2 ALLISON’S TRELGANDORF TABACOLORD 24/05/06. This
boy had much better colour and would have been my
choice, but for his little problem. Large and handsome
with very good type. Longer wedge with good top line and
large ears set to follow. Good eye shape and set, although
he does tend to hold them a little wide at times, colour pale
green. Almost straight profile with small bump near the
end of the nose, chin firm and bite level. Excellent muscle
tone to long masculine body, long elegant limbs and oval
paws, long tapered tail to balance. Mid, warm toned
Havana coat that was really sound to roots, unfortunately
he has completely lost the pigment on his nose leather and
paw pads, it is such a shame. Wonderful texture to coat,
very close and sleek. This lad was very tense to begin with
but began to relax and eventually handled well after some
persuasion. Excellently presented.
HAVANA ADULT FEMALE:
CC & BOB CH. TRELGANDORF BURNT SIENNA 24/05/06. A
quality lady of very good type and style. Even and well
balanced medium wedge with very good top of head and
large ears very well set. Good shape and set to eyes with
typical Havana expression and olive green colour. Good
profile and firm chin with level bite. Well covered and firm
toned body of good length, slender limbs and neat paws,
tapered tail needs an inch to balance. Coat colour a trifle
dark but is rich and warm in tone, soundness mainly good,
just a touch paler at the roots on the lower sides, a little
longer than ideal, but texture generally good. A very
friendly lady excellently presented.
FOREIGN WHITE ADULT:
1 CC w/h GIBSON’S CH. KERAF DIAMONDSRFOREVER
07/07/07. A very dainty lady, small for an adult and
immature looking for her age. Medium length head quite
stylish, with very good top line and large ears well set. Oval
shape to eyes, rather straight set and with a mournful
expression, colour good. Profile uneven with dip centre
nose, chin and bite okay, pinch to muzzle. Very long,
narrow and rather light-weight body, persistent calling
perhaps? Long dainty limbs and neat paws, tail almost
balances. Clean white coat, but very soft fine and a little
fluffy today. Not very happy with her neighbour but
handled fairly well. Pen presentation excellent.
ORIENTAL CLASSIC/MACKEREL TABBY NEUTER:
PC & BOB BODDY’S EMERPUS LUCIFER. (41b) 06/06/06. A
big lad of good overall type. Strongish head with good top
line and good sized ears well set. Oriental eye shape and
set with good clear mid green colour. Almost straight
profile with good depth of chin and level bite. Excellent
substance to long strong body, strong boned limbs and oval
paws, long tapered tail to balance. Generally good Classic
coat pattern with all elements present and fairly well
defined, would like a little more distinct spotting in the
butterfly, but spine lines good and oysters nicely oval and
complete. There is a little agouti invasion of the pattern
areas but it is reasonably sound, the colour is slightly dark
but shows warmth of tone and the ground colouring is
correct. Coat texture excellent, very short and sleek. Rather
naughty, we just about managed to handle him. Excellently
presented.
SEAL POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
CC VANNINI’S CH. LACASA STRACCIATELLA 11/11/06.
Beautiful lady, lovely type and style, and with very good
substance. Excellent head with wide top line and very large
flyaway ears excellently set. Oriental eye shape and set with
wicked expression and good depth of colour. Almost
straight profile, good chin and bite, even lines to muzzle
slightly spoilt by a pinch, it was this tiny difference that
decided the BOB between her and the male today.
Excellent substance and tone to long body, long elegant
limbs and spoon paws, whip tail need a touch more length
to balance. Very dark and slightly cool toned seal points.
Medium shading to pale fawn coat of very good length
and texture. Handled fairly well, although she had a few
rude things to say for herself. Excellently presented.
Judged for BOB & awarded SHAND’S GD. CH. ANDALYN
AMADEUS (24) 04/06/06
BLUE POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE:
1 CC w/h FRENCH’S CALIGANZA CHANSON DAMOUR
10/12/07. What a beautiful little queen, very stylish indeed,
unfortunately she is rather small for an adult, I might have
been tempted to forgive her this but she also had one or
two other problems that precluded the certificate. Super
head with lovely wide top and huge butterfly ears
beautifully set. Oriental eye shape and set with excellent
expression and very good depth of colour and brilliance of
tone. Strong roman profile and firm chin with level bite.
Long and dainty body with weight appropriate to size,
long slender limbs and spoon paws, good length tail to
balance. Unfortunately she has a small but visible deviation
at the tip and a less obvious, but nevertheless present, bend
half way along it, what a shame. Points colour on the dark
side of blue, coat colour fairly glacial with light blue
shading over the back, length and texture generally good.
The sweetest temperament, a very friendly lady, excellently
presented.
2 FRASER’S GENETTA GLENISLA 12/11/07. A dear little
queen of overall good type but immature and kittenish as
yet. Medium length wedge rather unbalanced, top line
good and ear size in proportion but setting a little upright.
Eyes rather full and wide, lacking Siamese expression but
colour very good. Almost straight profile, chin lines up
nicely but could be a little deeper, bite level. Body long
and slender, well covered and fairly firm toned, slender
limbs and neat paws, tail just about balances. Superb points
colouring, soft cool blue – a joy to see, almost matching in
tone. Excellent coat qualities, showing very good glacial
tones with the bare minimum of soft blue shading down
the spine and with very good, sleek close texture. A most
endearing lady, very easy to handle and beautifully
presented in a snug nest.
CHOCOLATE POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE:
1 BOB w/h SHAND’S PALMIRA SULUWEISI 15/02/08. A well
grown female of very good type. Shorter wedge with very
good top of head and large flared ears set to balance. Eyes
rather exaggerated in shape and deep set, colour good.
Undulating profile with marked dips above the brow line
and centre nose – I would have forgiven this in a small
kitten but at 7 months they are less likely to straighten,
chin and bite okay. Weighty body of good length, elegant
limbs and neat paws, tapered tail is rather blunt and
slightly knobbly at the tip. Points colour dark and rather
cool in tone with brindled tail and mask. Un-shaded ivory
coat of very good length and texture. A very sweet person
but too many problems for the BOB today. Excellently
presented.
2 FRY’S ADATEAM LURVLEE LEXI 20/04/08. Well grown
and of good type generally. Medium length wedge with
good top line and good sized ears well set. Oriental shape
and set to eyes, colour needs more depth. Dip to profile
centre nose, chin and bite okay. Long firm toned and
weighty body, dainty limbs and spoon paws, whip tail
needs an inch to balance. Points colouring very dark,
showing a little warmth but not correct for SOP. Un-shaded
ivory coat with lovely close texture. Excellent to handle
and excellent presentation.
TORTIE POINT SIAMESE NEUTER:
PC & BOB LINTON’S GD. CH. FIORDILISO APRIL SHOWERS
01/04/04. A mature lady of very good type. Broad medium
wedge with very good top of head and large open based
ears very well set. Good shape and set to eyes of mid blue
colour. Almost straight profile with firm chin, bite lacks
incisors and bottom jaw does look slightly under, but
without teeth who knows? Elegant body of good length
and substance, slender limbs and neat paws, tapered tail
almost balances. Warm cinnamon tortie points well
mingled, ideally I would like to see the tortie mingling a
little warmer in tone, it is generally quite pale, only the ears
show a little mid red. Coat length good, it was slightly soft
and open over lower back today, shading to the minimum
thus impressive contrast for a mature tortie. Handled well
but let us know exactly what she thought of us – which
wasn’t much I suspect. Excellently presented.

An Exclusive Series for OUR CATS
A BEGINNER’S GUIDE
TO CAT GENETICS
By
Anthony Nichols
Part 8:
Dilute
Genetic Symbols: d
he dilute gene is one
of the ancient genetic
mutations which have
been present in the cat’s
gene pool for many
centuries. It alters the
palette of rich, dense
colours seen in cats
changing them into paler,
more delicate, pastel
versions. It dilutes black
into blue, chocolate into
lilac, cinnamon into fawn
and red into cream. The
different versions of a gene
are called its alleles; with
this gene the dominant
allele creates the dense
colours and is represented
by the capital letter D. The
dilute allele is recessive so
represented by the little d.
Only when the gene pair
for this particular gene has
two of the recessive dilute
alleles (dd) does the cat
become dilute. This means
that two dilute cats bred
together can only produce
more dilutes, and that
dense coloured cats can
sometimes carry the dilute
gene.
Geneticists tell us that the
gene works by altering a
protein called
melanophilin, which
controls the way in which
pigment granules are
deposited into growing
hairs. They become more
clumped together and
unevenly distributed
creating the optical effect of
T
the paler, more diffuse
colour. This normally gives a
lighter, softer, slightly dusty
looking caste to the coat. In
some cases the clumping of
the pigment leaves the ends
of the hairs un-pigmented,
giving them the appearance
of being tipped with a
silvery sheen.
There is considerable
variation in the colouration
of dilute cats. Some blues
can have a dark blue slate
or indigo colour, while
others are a pale dusty
blue/grey. The same is true
of lilacs, fawns and creams.
Lilac is a lighter frosty dovegrey with pinkish tones,
while fawn is lighter again
varying from a rosy
mushroom to a sandy beige
colour with pale, dusty
cocoa tones. Cream varies
from a buff dun to a light
yellowish creamy colour.
Nuances
Adding pattern also creates
interesting nuances of
colour. A blue tabby can
have a warm oatmeal base
colour in between its
stripes, whilst in others the
base is a pale buff fawn or
even mushroom. This partly
depends on the breed of cat
and the presence of
polygenes for rufousing the many genes contributing
to a warmer colour. The
contrast between top and
base colour is best shown
Korat
off by a Blue Abyssinian,
which can appear to be
oatmeal on the underside of
the cat’s body and blue on
top. Combining dilute
colours with colourpoint
gives very delicate
colouration, especially in
the subtle Cream Point,
which is the slowest of all
the colourpoint varieties to
‘colour up’. The tone of a
dilute colour is changed in
the Burmese by that breed’s
special colour restriction
gene, which reduces the
Russian Blue
amount of pigment; Lilac,
Blue or Cream Burmese
have a marvellously clear
colour.
The most famous
examples of pedigree cats
with the dilute gene are the
Russian Blue and the Korat.
The Russian Blue has a
clear, medium blue
throughout the coat, with a
distinct silvery sheen, while
the Korat has lots of silver
tipping giving a shine to the
close-lying coat, which can
be any shade of blue.
FIRST VICTORY FOR CHARITIES IN
CREDIT CRUNCH LEGAL CHALLENGE
ewly-formed charities’ action group, Save Our
Savings has secured its first victory today as the
announcement was made that they will have a
place on the Creditors’ Committee for UK bank
Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander (KSF) that was put into
administration in October this year.
Save Our Savings, which is led by Cats Protection and
Naomi House Children’s Hospice, represents 27 charities
that collectively have a potential loss of £50 million due to
the collapse of the Icelandic-owned bank. The group has
been formed to increase awareness of this issue and to
ensure that charities have a bigger voice as they campaign
for the return of their funds.
It is very unusual to have charities involved in an
administration process of this nature and scale, and the
situation they find themselves in at this current time is
unique.
Dominic Sullivan, Cats Protection’s Director of Legal
Services who helped form the action group, said: ‘Charities
that have been affected by the collapse of KSF are now
working together so that we can present a united front in
N
the battle to secure the recovery of charitable funds.
‘Now that we have secured our place on the creditors
committee we have access to more information and will be
able to address questions directly to the administrators of
KSF, Ernst and Young.’
Cats Protection is the UK’s leading cat welfare charity,
helping 157,000 cats and kittens each year. The charity
relies on 6,800 volunteers and 500 staff, to carry out vital
cat rehoming and welfare work, and has been in existence
for over 80 years.
The charity has £11.2 million frozen with KSF, and new
capital projects have been put on hold. For every one cat
in the charity’s care there are many more waiting to come
in, hence Cats Protection has plans to build new cat
Adoption Centres at Lisburn, in Northern Ireland and
Gildersome, Yorkshire. Both these projects are currently at
risk.
Over 25 charities have come together and formed the
action group Save Our Savings, and are now looking into
ways of putting the charities case to the Government in the
hope of securing the return of all charitable funds.

Dear Santa,

all your elves are busy making 5 million Wii's and pink laptops but I
wondered if you could spare a moment to listen to my request. After all, I
haven't asked for much the last few years except for the odd DVD and a
pond liner which I seem to remember didn't arrive, so under those
circumstances I reckon I am in line for a bumper haul this year.
My requests may seem a little different from your normal run of deliveries but as my son when he
was younger confidently informed me that you could 'supply anything' I thought I would give it a
whirl.
You see my old cat house has got rather old and cramped. It was never well built in the first place,
coming as it did from a local shed supplier not known for the skill of their carpentry and it is now
looking somewhat worse for wear. Certainly not the sort of place you want to take visitors.
Therefore I wondered if you would mind removing the old one and replacing it with a shiny new
model?
The concrete apron is already there so I don't expect you or your elves to be laying concrete at 3am,
waking the neighbours and getting it all over your nice red coat. However, if one of your elves has Part
P certification, maybe they could see their way clear to running an electricity cable from the garage
into the new cattery. There is an old trench there so you can dig that up and use that, if you don't mind.
The cat house needs to be at least 10 foot by 12, with a stable door, a large opening window, a
framed wire inner door and window cover to keep out the flies and local moggy toms and an extractor
fan. I did tell my other half that 8 by 12 foot would do but on mature reflection have now decided that
size does matter after all.
The shed also needs to be insulated, 5cm on the walls and ten on the roof would do, topped off with
vinyl faced hardboard that I can wipe clean. I will also need a work bench under the window, some nice
tasteful vinyl floor covering and a heater. While you are about it a standpipe outside the shed would be
very helpful and stop me having to trek up and down the garden everytime I want to fill the water bowls.
Of course if you also bring me an automatic watering system that would be even better. Just make sure it
is one that doesn't leak!
Obviously I can't put all those nasty old holding pens into a nice new cattery, so a new set of purposebuilt holding pens would be greatly appreciated, as many as can be comfortably fitted in. I have attached
a plan to help you with the lay out.. The walls of the pens will need lining with either aluminium or
perspex sheet. I am aware that this may not be available where you come from but they do stock it down
the local DIY store. It probably won't be open but I am sure that with your ability for getting into small
spaces you shouldn't have too much trouble breaking in - oops sorry - gaining access. I don't think you
need worry about the CCTV cameras, I doubt our local police's jurisdiction stretches as far as the North
Pole. Of course, their sale may have already started so then you will be able to purchase the items you
need quite legally. While you are about it you can pick up a tin of blue paint to paint the outside of the
pens with.
When the pens are ready you will need to transfer all the cats to the pens indicated so that you can take
away the old ones. It is now a legal requirement that suppliers of white goods take away the old ones and I
see no reason why this shouldn't also apply to old sheds and pens. Please be careful to put the cats into the
pens indicated and don't mix them up. We wouldn't want any unplanned litters would we? Anyway, it’ll
only annoy the queens’ owners who’ve paid for my top boy’s stud fees and they don’t want my old
ginger/red tabby boy Gnasher behind their new kittens, because his face isn’t typey enough (and there was
some doubt over his parentage, not that I put that on his pedigree, of course.).
Please feel free to let your Reindeer graze the back garden. It has got rather unkempt since we have had
the builders in and it could do with it. However please be careful that they don't fall down the big hole. I
know it looks like a beast trap but actually that is my pond, waiting for the liner that you forgot to deliver
last Christmas.
As regards the other presents on my list, a month's supply of good quality cat food (tins and
dry) would be good, preferably contained in one of those nice plastic storage lockers, also an
original edition of Grace Pond’s book ‘Observer’s Book Of Cats’. This has been out of print for
donkey's years so you may have to pick one up while visiting other houses on your rounds. I
could give you a few pointers as to where you could find a copy.
Last, but not least I would be grateful if you could also supply Brad Pitt, preferably wearing
the nice little number he wore in Troy!
Happy Christmas!, (A. Storey)
Are Cats Better Than Men?
Cats mature as they get older
Cats look good with hairy backs
Cats look as good in the morning as when they
went to bed
Cats never comment on the size of your bum
Cats love cuddling with you even if the
football is on
Cats can entertain themselves for hours with just one toy
Cats do their own washing
Cats don't need expensive aftershaves to impress
Cats like to "help" with changing bed linen
Cats love you whether you're tall or short, fat or thin,
old or young, fashion-conscious or not.
I could add more........
but I'll leave the decision to you !!!!

alling in sick to work makes me
uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate
my excuse, I always get the feeling that my
boss thinks I'm lying.
On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied
anyway, because the truth was just too darned
humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a
head injury, and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the
next day. By then, I reasoned, I could think up a doozy to explain
the bandage on the top of my head. The accident occurred
mainly because I had given in to my wife's wishes to adopt a
cute little kitty.
Initially, the new acquisition was no problem.
Then one morning, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Deb, call
out to me from the kitchen.
'Honey! The garbage disposal is dead again. Please come reset it.'
'You know where the button is,' I protested through the shower pitter-pa tter and steam. 'Reset it
yourself!'
'But I'm scared!' she persisted. 'What if it starts going and sucks me in?'
There was a meaningful pause and then, 'C'mon, it'll only take you a second.'
So out I came, dripping wet and butt naked, hoping that my silent outraged nudity would make
a statement about how I perceived her behaviour as extremely cowardly.
Sighing loudly, I squatted down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last
action I remember performing.
It struck without warning, and without any respect to my circumstances. No, it wasn't the hexed
disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth. It was our new kitty, who discovered the
fascinating dangling objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the
corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise moment when I was most
vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws.
I lost all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements, blindly rising at a violent rate of
speed, with the full weight of a kitten hanging from my masculine region.
Wild animals are sometimes faced with a 'fight or flight' syndrome. Men, in this predicament,
choose only the 'flight' option. I know this from experience... I was fleeing straight up into the air
when the sink and cabinet bluntly and forcefully impeded my ascent.
The impact knocked me out cold.
When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me.
Now there are not many things in this life worse than finding oneself lying on the kitchen floor
butt naked in front of a group of 'been-there, done-that' paramedics.
Even worse, having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics
were all snorting loudly as they tried to conduct their work, all the
while trying to suppress their hysterical laughter......and not
succeeding.
Somehow I lived through it all. A few days later I finally made it back in to the
office, where colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me about my head
injury. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk about, which it was.
'What's the matter?' They all asked, 'Cat got your tongue?'
If they only knew! Why is it that only the women laugh at this?

The GCCF strongly recommends that no kitten should be
permitted to go to a new home before 13 weeks of age. At
least 7 days prior to this the kitten should have completed
a full course of vaccinations, including a health check,
given by a Veterinary Surgeon, or by a listed Veterinary
Nurse under the direction of a Veterinary Surgeon.
The breeder should ensure that kittens are house-trained,
inoculated and in good general health.

CANADIAN RESCUE EASES
HOLIDAY ADOPTION RULES
nimal shelters in Waterloo, Canada are so overloaded
with cats say they'll do everything they can to find good
homes for the animals, despite the worries of a
faltering economy. This includes making it easier to adopt a
pet around the holidays.
Humane societies in the past have recommended against
giving pets for Christmas, although the two local shelters say
they've never actually banned holiday adoptions.
And for the coming holidays, the Kitchener-Waterloo
Humane Society is going to be even more flexible.
‘We know that you're going to get an animal, so why not get
one from us?’ asksWard McAlister, executive director of the
Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society.
Families can sign adoption papers, and then pick up the
animal after the holiday chaos subsides. Or a couple planning
a quiet Christmas might want to bring their new pet home right
away.
‘We just want to make sure that it's a good fit for everybody,’
McAlister said.
The Cambridge humane society is taking the same approach.
‘If it's the right family, the dog or cat will go home,’ said
Bonnie Deekon, the executive director. Sometimes the shelter
will suggest, especially for a dog, that a family pay the
adoption fee and pick up the pet later. Cats can go home
because cats will fit into any situation very easily.’
Both shelters have more cats than usual for this time of year.
Kitchener has about 65 cats up for adoption. Cambridge has
about 115 cats and kittens - more than triple the number than
in previous years. The shelters, which depend on fundraising
and donations, worry about the impact of the economy.
‘The economy does affect us, both good and bad,’ McAlister
said. Some people might hesitate to adopt a pet. Others may
have trouble taking care of pets they already have.’
The adoption process involves education and screening, in
particular around the holidays to make sure people aren't
making last-minute gift decisions, McAlister said. Often gift
pets are returned when families realize they don't fit in with
their lives.
The Cambridge cat adoption fee is $165, and all of it goes
to veterinary care, including spaying or neutering and
vaccinations, Deekon said.
The Kitchener shelter recently dropped its fees. Cats six
months or older are $85 and kittens $115. The fee used to be
$140, regardless of age. Dog fees stayed the same, McAlister
said, because ‘dogs are not our problem.’
The Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society recently got
$5,000 from cat food manufacturer Whiskas' national cat
adoption program to help care for the felines waiting for new
homes.
TWO FACED KITTEN
A
very unusual kitten was born recently in
Australia, the grey and white kitten had
two faces.
The kittens 2 siblings did not have any unusual
features but this baby had 2 complete faces
including 2 mouths, both of which miaowed
simultaneously, but could only eat through one
due to a cleft palate in the other
The kitten was born at the Swan Veterinary
Clinic in Perth, Western Australia, when its mother
was brought in after suffering complications
during birth.
Ms Burgess said she had never seen a two-faced
cat in her 12-year career.
‘I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs,
but not this,’ she told the website
inmycommunity.com.au.
‘This is the result of a congenital deformity.
Something has gone wrong in the early embryonic
development.’
Despite initially putting up a good fight and
appearing to be eating successfully, sadly the
kitten died after two days.

Facts about Panleukopenia
State Premier Colin Barnett meets some of the shelter cats
olin Barnett leader of the Western Australian Liberal
Party and Premier of Western Australia has voiced
his support for compulsory cat sterilisation to curb
the epidemic of unwanted and feral cats and says he will
consider legislation to enforce responsible animal
ownership.
On a recent visit to a fundraising event at The Cat Haven
shelter in the Shenton Park area Mr Barnett said he favoured
forcing cat owners to neuter their pets to avoid putting down
thousands of felines a year and the huge environmental
damage caused by feral cats.
‘I’m prepared to look at that (legislation),’ he said. ‘To have
a situation here where up to 10,000 cats and kittens are
delivered to the Cat Haven every year is a very sad situation
and the majority of those have to be euthanased. ‘Whether it
should be compulsory, my own view is that probably it
should be. We’ll certainly look at the proposals by the Cat
Haven.’
Mr Barnett presented a personal donation to the group
during the visit but stopped short of giving state aid to the
group stating ‘We’d always look at that, but often
organisations are successful because they are self-funded
and because the community gets behind them, and if
Government comes in sometimes then you lose the
momentum.’
Roz Robinson, Cat Haven operations manager, questioned
why the cat refuge was left out, however, as the Australian
RSPCA got $250,000 a year in State Government funding.
She said any form of government funding was desperately
needed and urged the State Government to consider offering
the group a lifeline. She welcomed Mr Barnett’s stance on
compulsory cat sterilisation, saying it would reduce the
number of unwanted kittens by 80 per cent.
The Haven has to put down almost 70 per cent of the
10,000 cats dumped on its doorstep every year either due to
illhealth or because homes cannot be found for them.

THE BIRMAN CLUB DINNER
Celebrating the 25th Championship Show
ver 90 members booked places for
the annual dinner which this year
was celebrating the 25th
Championship show.
Members met at the Brownsover Hall
Hotel in Rugby on a bitterly cold night .
The hotel is a Victorian Gothic Mansion,
with many historic features including a
magnificent staircase and crystal chandeliers.
The bedrooms had all been beautifully
modernised and the coach house and former
stables converted into luxurious
accommodation.
The theme for the night was Silver, Sparkle
and Satin in honour of the Silver Anniversary.
It was a pleasure to see guests transformed
for the evening. They put off their working
show clothes and slipped into glamour and
glitz. As one gentleman commented ’don’t
we scrub up well?’
Special guests were Shirley and David
Talboys who have managed a number of past
shows, and Robert Illillingworth, Nick Mays
and Sheena Stratton from OUR CATS.
Unfortunately our other special guests Mary
and Roger Goodall could not attend the
dinner owing to family commitments; we
would like to thank them for their years of
work and support.
Other visitors included Alina and Riene
Trieke from Germany attending for the 4th
time, and Lynda Ashmore and partner
making their second visit from Norway.
First item on the evening program was a
meet and greet in the historic foyer and bar.

CP WELCOME CAT CODE
Statement from Dominic Sullivan, Cats Protection’s Director of Legal
Services, regarding the DEFRA Cat Code:
‘The main purpose of the Cat Code is to give practical advice to
owners and others responsible for cats to help them to ensure that their
cats’ welfare needs are met. Failure to comply with the Cat Code will not be an offence;
however, it might be a factor in determining whether or not someone has failed in their
legal responsibility to look after their cat or in determining whether or not an offence of
cruelty has been committed.
‘Cats Protection believes that every cat should be given the chance of a life where it
will be treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. The Code will hopefully
help to raise awareness and understanding of cat welfare issues, as well as to promote
and raise standards of welfare, so it has to be a good thing.’
Obituary
SANDRA THOMPSON
t was with great sadness we learned of the loss of Sandra following her long illness.
Together with husband Mike and daughter Linda she had attended our various shows for
many years with her beautiful Siamese and Orientals. She never seemed to be without a
smile and her ready laughter was always there.
She was a good friend to all who knew her and her warmth was an asset to any show and the
Cat Fancy.
It was Sandra’s wish that Mike and Linda continue to show their cats and it was a fitting tribute
to her, that at the ‘National’, they left with an Imperial, and a BOB for their maiden kitten.
I know I speak on behalf of the members of all the Cat Clubs in the South West when I say she
will be sadly missed and our sympathies go to Mike, Linda and family.

SINGAPURA CAT CLUB COMPLAINT
am using this platform to mount a response, to a recent article in the Singapura Cat Club
Mewsletter, as I have no doubt that they would not print any response I present to them.
I
The current Chair and SCC committee were aware that the co.uk domain name used for the
Club was the property of myself as on the day of the Committee meeting when the trouble
started, they purchased their present domain org.uk name. They state that the fees for the
domain name were paid into the welfare fund yet despite repeated requests for confirmation of
this, it has still not been forthcoming. Furthermore, Accounts for the club for the period of 2007
were not available to members at the AGM in April, nor have members been offered sight of
them.
Permission to use the content of the website prior to the domain name and my services as
Webmaster was requested by myself from the previous Webmaster and at no time were the
words 'gifted to the club' ever used. The content has been amended over time as it became out
of date. The previous Webmaster applauded the actions of taking down the content in view of
the behaviour of the Chairman and Committee at the 2008 AGM.
The ownership of the domain is not in any doubt. It legally belongs to myself as long as I do
not misrepresent the name by using content not in keeping with that name, which I am most
definitely not. The current Chair states that I have not acknowledged their communication to
me, which I did and the club duly acknowledged.
The Chair fails to mention the Committee's behaviour towards Ray Wigley when advised by a
GCCF Executive Member that the Committee should give Ray 3 dates suitable to himself for an
SGM so that he could defend/refute their claims of incorrect paperwork. They were also
advised that he should be given the opportunity of an independent Chairman. They flatly
refused to do either, despite the fact that he was out of the country. He was given 3 weeks
notice of the date of the meeting by which time it was far too late to change his plans. The
allegations by the Committee had also changed from when he was verbally challenged, with
the paperwork telling a very different story, much of which was fabricated and had Ray been
given the opportunity to defend himself, the fabrications would have been disproved.
I would urge club members to be wary of their future dealing with the individual overseeing
these actions.

The fun doesn’t end there
though, as thousands of dog
owners will be invited to
take part in a Wet Nose Day
walk-a-thon to be held in
London on Sunday 19th
April, with local events
taking place throughout the
country. Why not bring
along a four legged friend
and help shed that puppy fat
together?
Phil Sketchley, Chairman
of NPM said:
‘With so many pets in the
UK facing health problems,
we want next April’s
Pets’ theme to enable pet
owners not only to detect
signs of ill health in their
animals, but give them
guidance on how they can
help maximize their
companion’s well being. The
government’s recently
launched Change4Life
initiative, challenges human
nutrition and health, and we
want to do the same for
animals. With the help of
major sponsors such as Iams
and for the first time in
2009, Pfizer Animal Health,
I’m sure we can encourage
responsible pet ownership
amongst an even wider
audience.’
Claire Forsyth-Brown from
Iams said:
‘This year’s theme of
Pets’ resonates
with everyone
at Iams as our
mission is to
enhance the
well-being of
dogs and cats.
Being a sponsor of National
Pet Month is a great honour
and our way of actively
supporting animal charities
around the UK and those
who champion responsible
pet ownership.’

lmost 60 per cent of people said they would put
off starting a family during the current economic
downturn but a quarter would choose a pet
instead, according to a new survey from the UK’s
leading pet insurance provider, Petplan.
And it’s not a battle of the sexes – the decision to put
family life on hold in favour of nurturing a four-legged
friend was equally divided between men and women.
The findings are supported by a recent Mintel report
showing that the pet care industry is thriving with animal
lovers spending £484million on their cats and dogs this
year. Pets at Home also announced its profits have
doubled compared to this time last year.
A spokeswoman from Petplan, said: "It seems that pets
of all shapes and sizes are now being considered a
perfectly sensible alternative to starting a family for cashstrapped couples. We know that many owners develop
very strong emotional ties to their pets that are often
treated as part of the family. But we do urge all would-be
pet owners to understand that pet ownership does come
with responsibilities, just like parenthood."
Research shows the cost of raising a child from birth to
21 is £186,0321 – whereas RSPCA figures state that a dog
costs approximately £9,600 during its lifetime a cat
£8,000 and a rabbit £3,800.

U.S. Indoor Cat Health Researcher Wins Award
ill’s Pet Nutrition has
announced that C.A.
Tony Buffington,
DVM, Ph.D., Dipl. ACVN,
will receive the 2009 Mark
L. Morris Sr. Lifetime
Achievement Award for his
contributions to feline
health.
The award is presented
annually at the opening
ceremony of the North
American Veterinary
Conference. This will take
place from Jan. 17th – 21st
2009 in Orlando, Florida.
Professor Buffington, of
Ohio State University
College of Veterinary
Medicine, is being
recognised for his work in
H
helping to understand the
causes of urinary tract
disease in cats and in
identifying the role played
by the environment in the
health of indoor cats.
‘As a researcher, Dr.
Buffington’s work on feline
urinary tract disease and the
impact of environmental
factors on feline health and
well-being has positively
enriched the lives of
thousands of cats around the
globe,’ said Mary Beth
Leininger, DVM, Hill’s
director of professional
affairs. ‘His translational
research has even affected
human health as he
identified similarities
between feline urologic
syndrome and interstitial
cystitis in women.’
Professor Buffington has
identified the role of acidbased balance in foods and
its relationship to the
formation of feline urinary
stones. This work has
resulted in broad
reformulation of commercial
diets. He also launched the
Indoor Cat Initiative, a
holistic project, with the aim
of educating pet owners and
vets that enrichment of an
indoor cat’s immediate
surroundings plays as
important a role to health
and wellbeing as proper diet
and health care.
Dr Tony Buffington

Ulster Siamese & All Breed Cat Club’s 29th Show
8th November 2008
Bangor Castle Leisure Centre, Bangor, N. Ireland
he joys of cat showing: The ship
Report by
docked and by 6.45am we were
soon back in the car to the fragrant
scent of cat trays, but sadly, not in the
Photographs by
tray --- little Fortunatus had not only
had a very normal ‘poo’ but had sat in it
and then on to his Grand-dam Nutmeg!
There was a fine drizzle as we drove
smartly to Bangor, where it was dry, clear skied and calm, but it took a
time to clean up the two cats before they were carried off to the show
hall for me.
As ever, duty vet Dr Gina Banks and the familiar gentlemen veterinarians,
Messrs Tom Fitzsimons, Craig Riley and Richard Kelly, soon had everybody
safely checked and through into the inner sanctum of the actual show hall.
June and Carol had all in order as ever. New exhibitors were guided and
nurtured and it was truly good to some really young people with their feline
friends on exhibition. Being somewhat restricted mobility-wise at present it
was good to observe everyone getting their cats settled in pens, water found,
and any errors, not that there were any to talk of, sorted before the judges
and their stewards arrived ready for the day’s work.
With 23 Household Pets, Jill Bunce and this reporter had a corner of the
workers’ long table on the stage behind the BOV cages, with a grand view of
most of the judging which appeared calm and collected throughout the day.
Children were soon very busy painting away for the competition and there
was an unending crowd among the wide variety of stalls of the adjacent craft
fair. Some people will be getting cute and curious gifts come December
25th.
Now, to mention the great new find of the Ulster - a new brilliant local
photographer, Jennifer Willis. Jennifer’s photographs are the only ones used
in this report, and she had a grand time taking well over 500 pictures in all.
Let’s hope we see her at many more shows.
Soon it was time to eat and judges, stewards and other show workers
were as ever met with the outstanding culinary efforts of Myrtle and the
‘Ulster Bleu’ club kitchen. Meanwhile out in the hall Anne Gamble and her
helpers were busy selling vast numbers of ballot (raffle) tickets for the many
exciting prizes that kept the table groaning all day until finally the draw took
place.
As the day progressed those at the awards board looked for their hopes to
be fulfilled, and as always there were some elated and a few disappointed
faces as they turned away. But, as ever, the people and visitors in Ulster took
all in good heart. It was a lovely to see the faces of winning owners, and
none more pleased than Belfast’s Master Simon Ewing at his very first show
in the BSH section with the beautiful little kitten, HOONIKATZ REILLY (30s).
Midday arrived and in came the goodly number of curious visitors to
view all.
By mid-afternoon the Best in Show variety pens were filled with:
BIS Persian, from Carrickfergus, was KATYKAYE SPECIAL REQUEST (70
12a1ts) a delightful Exotic kitten owned by Ms Heather Craig & Mr. Alan
Bell
BIS Semi Longhair and also Overall BIS was enjoying a few days holiday.
Travelling all the way from Oxfordshire, the well-known, MN, IGR PR
COONTASTIC NIJINSKY (64 31t) owned by Mr. Stephen & Mrs. Jill Bunce
had a fantastic day.
BIS British was CH & PR TEMPLEGATES CARMEN (39) owned by Mr.
Harry & Mrs. Ann Smith who had travelled over from Bonnie Scotland with
their very helpful young son.
BIS Foreign was a very popular win for Russian Blue MN, UK & IGR PR
SHOELINA ZELENSKY (16a) owned by Mrs. Jennifer Fleming, the wellknown show manager of the Cumberland show, who had had a fantastic day
judging the HPs.
BIS Burmese also proved a popular choice and was a local win for
County Down’s Burmese queen, MOLYNMEUX PRINCESS AOIFE (27a)
owned by Mrs. Lillian Niblock
BIS Oriental was another visitor from Scotland, being CH
SHADOWSWQUAD STARDUST (37g), an oriental Tortoiseshell queen
owned by Miss Michelle Linton
BIS Siamese was a win for Yorkshire with CH MEILLAND BLZUNCOMET
(32a) a lovely red point Siamese gentleman, owned by Mrs. Kathy & Miss
Rose Marie Debowska
BIS Household Pet was HITCH, a lively black and white patched SH MN
aged 18 months, who had only travelled a few miles to his show and is
owned by Miss Lara Forster
The Lord Mayor arrived and prizes were given to the artistic children
before he presented trophies and mementos to BIS winners as well.
There was one other winner, The Spectators’ Choice of Cat, voted upon
by visitors and others and conducted by a ballot. The winner here was an AC
unregistered pedigree cat, J D of Tonkinese back-ground belonging to the
Armstrongs from Belfast.
Some had to leave early for ferries from Larne, and by the time the show
ended the rain was literally sheeting down assisted by quite a strong wind --but few worried as they took their wonderful cats home and the intrepid
team set to sorting pens, and clearing the hall. Many had a superb meal at
the Belfast castle that evening, which I hear was an exceptional venue.
The 3 cats that travelled with the reporter gave great pleasure as there
were two new titles to claim. Wee Georgie became PR GOWLAREN
IAMGARFIELD (70 19) and Nutmeg had a red card day to become CH
SLIABH NORTHERNIGHT (imp) ( 21) while kitten, CADIFEE FORTUNATUS
(30) at his 3rd Ch. show also had a red card day and claimed his 4th BOB --yes he is grand-kit to Int Gr Ch Cadifee Bracken Lad. We travelled home on
a rough sea on the Sunday night, complete with our new kitten who had
even been at the show, Seamus, a.k.a. Sheerbliss Supertrouper (70 12a5t)
To June, Carol and everybody who works so hard for the Ulster - well
done and hopefully we’ll see you all in 2009!

Champion recalled the product in

DOES THE RECALL EXTEND BEYOND AUSTRALIA?
No, The recall is for AUSTRALIA ONLY
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO AUSTRALIA?
While Orijen sales in Australia account for less than of 1 percent of total sales, Australia accounts for
100% of cases. ORIJEN was sold in Australia only for a 9 month period of February through October 2008.
During this time ONLY 6 PALLETS of ORIJEN CAT food actually entered retail distribution in Australia. This
equates to 200 Australian cats fed daily over the 9 month period. Of these 200 cats, 27 are reported
having the syndrome of which 4 have been unfortunately euthanized and 4 that are thankfully recovering.
During the same nine month period, shipments of ORIJEN CAT food equivalent to feed 85,000 cats were
made to 49 other countries. ZERO cases were reported outside of Australia.

A: IRRADIATION
Champion Petfoods has investigated factors that make Australia unique from our other ORIJEN markets,

that requires the IRRADIATION TREATMENT of ORIJEN cat foods.
COLLEGE MOURNS LOSS
OF PAST PRESIDENT
T
he Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons
(RCVS) has been
saddened to hear that
Emeritus Professor Leslie
Vaughan DSc DVR FRCVS,
its President in 1987-8, has
died.
Qualifying from the Royal
Veterinary College in 1949,
Professor Vaughan held
various posts within the
RVC, including House
Surgeon, Lecturer and
Reader. He was awarded a
personal chair in 1972 as
Professor of Veterinary
Orthopaedics, becoming
the Professor of Veterinary
Surgery and Head of
Department two years later.
He was Vice-Principal from
1982 to 1991.
Having formally retired in
1991, Professor Vaughan
continued to see small
animal orthopaedic cases
referred to the Queen
Mother Hospital (QMH) at
the Royal Veterinary
College until he finally ‘put
down his scalpel’ at the end
of 2007. During these 16
years, not only was he
involved in both
undergraduate and
postgraduate teaching on
rotations, but claimed no
payment personally for his
work: he donated any fees
to the RVC’s Animal Care
Trust to support further
development of the QMH.
It is fitting that the third and
final phase of the QMH
was opened this week by
HRH the Duchess of
Cornwall. This was the
culmination of a major
project that Professor
Vaughan helped initiate in
the mid-1980s.
Professor Vaughan, who
was 81, became a Fellow of
the RCVS in 1957 for a
thesis entitled: A study of
the clinical and
pathological aspects of the
intervertebral disc
protrusion in the dog.
‘Leslie Vaughan had an
international reputation in
veterinary orthopaedics,
both as a clinician and a
researcher, that included
small animal, equine and
even farm animal species,’
commented Dr Jerry
Davies, RCVS Treasurer and
former colleague of
Professor Vaughan. ‘Those
remarkable achievements
were equalled by his skills
as a teacher. He had an
ability to instil in his
students the fundamental
principles of diagnosis
where meticulous clinical
observation and
examination must precede
the careful selection of
adjunct investigations such
as radiography and
laboratory testing. The
extraordinary number of
veterinary surgeons, both
past and present, that will
have benefited from his
teaching over no less than
58 years will never be
surpassed,’ he said.
The funeral was held at St
John’s Church, Harpenden,
Herts, on Monday
December 1, 2008.
Irradiation is a method of preserving
food by dosing it with a type of radiation cobalt 60 gamma rays - to reduce
microbial hazards, in this case in imported
pet foods containing fresh meats.
Champion says studies show levels
between 36 and 47 kilograys of cobalt 60
gamma radiation were linked to
neurological symptoms similar to those
found in the affected Australian cats. It
claims Australia irradiated the food to a
minimum of 50 kGY and in some cases
reached 61 kGY. ‘These are very
substantial levels of irradiation,’ the
company said.
Orijen cat food is distributed in the UK
by Bern Pet Foods who have stressed that
there are no problems with Orijen cat food
sold in the UK, which is not subject to
irradiation like the Australian food was.
Champion Petfoods issued a very full
statement, answering key questions that
had arisen in this situation.
CAT SHOOTINGS PROMPT
POLICE WARNING
olice in Staffordshire
have asked people to
be vigilant following a
spate of cat shootings.
Several pets have been
injured or killed with air
guns in recent weeks,
including two from the same
street. The cats from Bamber
Place, Chesterton, were shot
within a week of each other.
Bryn and Joy Richards’s
cat TC had to have a leg
amputated after it was
shattered by an air gun
pellet on November 19th.
Then othe following
Wednesday their neighbour
Pat Davies’s cat Milo was
shot in the leg. Both
survived.
Mr Richards, aged 69,
(pictured) said: ‘We are
dumbfounded as to why
somebody should be so
malicious. There are quite a
few cats on our street so it’s
a big worry.
‘TC came staggering in
badly injured so we took
him to the vet. When they
came to operate the injury
was so severe they had to
amputate the leg.’
The couple, who have two
other cats, adopted TC three
years age. He is now
recovering at home. Mrs
Richards said: ‘He is coming
along quite well, and the vet
said they are very adaptable
so he should be able to get
about OK.
‘I was really shocked by
what happened. It was
terrible. Whoever has done
this has no feelings at all.
They should be severely
dealt with. These guns
shouldn’t be allowed to be
sold willy-nilly.’
Mrs Davies, aged 63, said:
‘Milo came in and I saw the
blood on his back leg. We
took him to the emergency
P
Bryn Richards and his cat TC who
had to have his leg amputated
after being shot by an air rifle
vet in Stoke then he was
taken to Longton the next
day. They operated on him
and managed to remove the
pellet.
‘It’s not on; it scares you.
You don’t know who they
might shoot next. If they can
do it to a cat they can do it
to anyone. I’m scared to let
both my cats out now.’
Staffordshire Police said
officers are investigating the
shootings. A spokesman
said: ‘In the last 12 months
there have been seven
incidents of cats being shot
recorded on North
Staffordshire division and
four recorded on Stoke-onTrent division.
‘The matters are
investigated by officers. This
includes taking statements
from various parties,
carrying out house-to-house
enquiries and viewing CCTV
footage if at all possible.
‘Neighbourhood officers
who police the area
regularly are also made
aware of the incident. We
would ask people to be
vigilant in the community
they live in and report any
suspicious incidents to their
local officers or by calling
Staffordshire Police.’

BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB SHOW REPORT
27th September 2008
he 24th
Report and Photos by
Championship Colleen Inger-Brown Dip. AD
Breed Show
was held at the Ken Marriott Leisure Centre, Rugby, Warks.
With 3 other All-Breed shows on the same day , the entry
of 100 was excellent. The venue is light and airy which
makes for a comfortable day out for both the cats and
their slaves! Refreshments, served overlooking the indoor
swimming pool, were on the same level as the main hall. It
meant that road- weary exhibitors - the fog was very bad
early on in the day but thankfully dispersed as the
morning progressed - did not have far to go for their
coffee fix!! The results board was conveniently
sandwiched , excuse the pun, between the two so that
exhibitors on tenterhooks did not have far to travel for
their cats results.
Show Manager Mary Le Monnier took everything in her
stride and I never saw her without a smile on her face. She
has that elusive trait of looking calm under pressure!! She
had a band of very hard working bods - committee members
and table workers - so special thanks must go to them for
helping to make the show so successful on the day. Also
thanks to sponsor Royal Canin, Bella Penning for their
efficiency, Stall Holders; Cats Protection, Sue & John Seers of
Wyvern Gems and Moyra Smith’s Show Drapes which
proved popular , especially with the Supreme on the
horizon. Not forgetting the Judges: Mrs S Heavens, Mrs S
Lorton-Hobbs, Mrs E Machin, Mrs L Miles, Mr A Welsh &
Miss C White and their stewards. Unfortunately Mrs J
Bradley was unable to fulfill her Judging appointment due to
a back injury. Everyone would like to wish her a speedy
recovery. Mrs S Lorton-Hobbs stepped in to ‘save the day’
by covering the majority of Mrs Bradley’s classes as well as
her own appointed ones.
The Vice President of the club Mrs Betty Knapp, 82 years
young, still enjoys working on the table. She keeps everyone
around her in check even to the point of moving her coffee
cup out of view before I took her picture!!
Characters - the gong had to go to Mrs A Clayton’s 5
month old household pet Mr Tippy, winner of ‘Mister
Purrsonality’. I was looking at the stunning household pets
and he just stared at me as to say’ take my picture. Mrs
Clayton says ‘ he lives up to his name by ‘tipping ‘things over
at home!’
Exhibitor Mrs G Martin had a reflective day. She recently
had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her dear
’Teddy’ Imperial Grand Champion Thornchase Hey Presto!
Out of his painful arthritic condition. I’m sure you all
empathise with her that it’s always difficult to play God. He
lives on through his progeny, Gill, many of whom won on
the day.
Everyone I spoke to ‘said they really enjoyed the day’ as
did I. The Committee would like to say a VERY BIG THANK
YOU to all the EXHIBITORS who supported this years show
and would like to take this opportunity to invite you all back
to next year’s special SILVER ANNIVERSARY SHOW.

Mother Nature’s
Remedies
By
Mrs Christine F. Duffy
DI Hom
n my last column I
promised to talk of bowel
problems this time, and it
certainly seems that many
cats are affected in this area
in one way or another.
It can be ‘normal’ for a cat
to have an occasional
episode of vomiting or
diarrhoea but if it is more
than the occasional thing then
something is wrong, however
it can be hard to define the
actual cause without testing.
In general terms there are
millions of remedies aimed at
relieving these symptoms and
it can be very confusing, and
extremely disheartening,
when certain remedies are
tried without success.
One thing to remember is
that diarrhoea, although
common, is not a specific
condition. As cat owners
know, whilst there are many
things that can cause it, the
actual outcome is very much
the same i.e. frequent, loose
motions of a fluid nature. As
part of the cats’
gastrointestinal defence
against anything it finds
irritating e.g. Worms, bacterial
infection, viral conditions, and
toxicity etc the primary
response is to rid them from
the body as quickly as
possible. Therefore the
response is to defecate in
order to flush the system.
So the best place to start is
to find the cause and ask why
I
has my cat got diarrhoea?
In trying to be as helpful as I
can I am going to start with
diarrhoea in newborn kittens
and work through the ages of
cats as far as this is possible.
Newborns
In a very young kitten with
diarrhoea , symptoms present
themselves quite suddenly
and kittens can very quickly
become chilled and
dehydrated, very possibly
crawling away from mother
and the nest .
Check the obvious things
first
1. Mother’s milk – is it flowing
right, the correct colour and
consistency, is it curdled
etc
If her milk is curdled there
is a very suitable remedy for
that but in the meantime the
kittens will have to be hand
reared. It is very easy to put a
homeopathic remedy into the
bottle feed.
Use a proprietary feeding
milk mixture of your own
choice, made up according to
the manufacturer’s directions.
Then add Podophyllum 6c to
the milk whilst it is still slightly
warm and mix well.
You will probably find that
one feed containing the
remedy is enough but it can
be repeated every four hours
for as long as necessary.
However, if you prefer to
use herbs instead, then mix
the bottle feed with half milk
formula and half of warm
chamomile tea. Make the tea
by infusing one teaspoon of
the herb in a cup of boiling
water, (N.B. not a mug, a cup).
Feeding as you would
normally it may take two or
three feeds until the problem
is resolved.
If I was asked, in my
opinion, which is the best
method, I would say either
will work well, It is most
important to act quickly in an
emergency, so using
whichever you have to hand is
the best solution.
Teething Troubles
Diarrhoea is common in
kittens who are teething.
Kittens are usually quite
miserable at this time, having
sore bottoms from the loose,
watery, cark and sometimes
bloody diarrhoea.
Chamomilla is the keynote
remedy for teething, another
good indicator for this remedy
is that the kitten’s gums will be
darker in colour. Personally I
prefer to make Chamomilla in
crystal form with kittens in
mind, the tiny crystals
resemble granular sugar and
so there are no worries of
choking.
Weaning Time
Kittens weaning and over
eating, as we all know, can be
a prime time for diarrhoea.
My first choice treatment at
this time would be Arsen
Album in a potency of 30c, as
its descriptive properties are
for diarrhoea from rotten
meat. That’s not to say kittens
have been fed rotten meat, but
they have been fed meat that
has caused this ‘natural
flushing’ reaction. Bowel
motions in this case are very
frequent, small and
debilitating. How to dose
would depend on how the
kittens were in themselves and
so I cannot be hard and fast
(excuse the pun) about actual
dosing.
An herbal alternative would
be to use Slippery Elm - I
intend to cover this remedy in
full in the next edition for
reasons that will become
apparent.
As most ‘normal’ medicine
comes, in some form or
another, from the same source
as homeopathy, Ipecacuanha
would be a good choice,
particularly if the stools have a
greenish tinge. Known as
‘Ipec’ its chalk properties are
beneficial to certain types of
milk diarrhoea.
Kittens when weaned can
still fall victim to diarrhoea.
Usually the stools are not fully
formed and have signs of
undigested food, streaks of
blood and are, in the main, a
yellow colour. Reach for
China, (which is actually
pronounced Keena, though
don’t ask me why when even
using its full given name of
Chinchona officinalis there is
no resemblance to ‘keena’) to
help with this.
Kittens Become Cats
However, kittens eventually
become cats, and their
diarrhoea problems take on a
whole different aspect. Having
more freedom than kittens and
the ability to pick up germs as
soon as the show entry in
posted off; cats present us
with a whole different set of
concerns. And you can bet if a
show is looming nothing is
straight forward. However the
advantages are that you know
the cat’s normal toileting
habits and what usually
causes an upset tummy. This is
half the battle as there are so
many diarrhoea remedies. The
more information you have
the better the chances of
finding the correct remedy.
Poo examination and the
interest in the litter grip you
and can become your main
topic of conversation, how
sad, but how true.
The door opens, hubby
comes in, “Hi Honey, I’m
home” only to be greeted with
a mournful reply of, “Tiddles
is still loose”
Because there are so many
diarrhoea remedies, clues
have to be found and related
to, i.e. straining after the stool
Got A Query?
* When I first started to write for OUR CATS, Nick the Editor
asked me if I wanted to put my telephone number on my
page and at the time I was not sure it would be necessary
but now I do know that some people are having difficulty
finding me and I would like to thank everyone who passes
my number on. So with this in mind I have made a
conscious decision to have a dedicated email and contact
numbers available to readers. So if you do have any queries
and want some advice please get in touch.

We are pleased to announce our lovely girl
Congratulations Nutmeg,
Ch.Sliabh Northernight
even though there is nothing
else to come, could indicate
the remedy Mercurius
Solubillis (Merc Sol) or
Mercurius Vivus (Merc Viv),
particularly if there is mucus
and blood in the stool. A
definite prospect if in addition
there is straining to also
urinate at the same time.
If diarrhoea alternates with
constipation this is a whole
new aspect and further clues
should be looked for, i.e. Cat
may have had a lot of
medications in the past. If so
the remedy choice would be
Nux Vomica (Nux Vom)
I hope I have given you
just an insight in a small way
into the realms of
homeopathy for bowel
troubles, there are many
remedies as yet not
mentioned.
I find sadly though, I am
pushed for time with this
particular issue, as I have an
article to write for Our Cats
Annual and also a much
shorter deadline to meet for
the Christmas Issue.
I am planning a bit of a
bumper column in the
Christmas OUR CATS; I hope
to be able to give away freely
remedies from Mother Nature
herself.
Well done to Georgie on gaining his title in

The GCCF strongly recommends
that no kitten should be
permitted to go to a new home
before 13 weeks of age. At least
7 days prior to this the kitten
should have completed a full
course of vaccinations, including
a health check, given by a
Veterinary Surgeon, or by a listed
Veterinary Nurse under the
direction of a Veterinary Surgeon.
The breeder should ensure that
kittens are house-trained,
inoculated and in good general
health.
Feline Obituary.
Addeish Onika Jessimine (Jessie),
7.4.92 - 7.7.08
Jessie was the start of our love-affair
with Bombays. She was bred by Dave
and Monica Whitaker, and was only
second generation. By today's standards
she would be too large and chunky, and
her coat was a little too coarse; but in
spite of these "faults" she was very
beautiful, and so sweet-tempered. She
fitted in at once with our young Burmese
and Burmilla queens, and 'helped out'
when their kittens became too unruly.
Jessie became very attached to me, although she was friendly with
everyone, and when I had a small stroke in 1994 she attached herself to
my side and refused to leave even for food, which had to be brought up to
her! When she went into labour with her first litter she would not settle
down until I had settled with her. She was mated twice with brown
Burmese, and produced all black babies, six and then the second time
seven! In the second lot there was one outstanding boy, who Monica
agreed was good enough to go for breeding, and whom we named
Hurtlepuss Black Adonis. He went to live with Carolyn Clark,where he
became known as Danny, and he became quite popular with people
wanting to breed Bombays - indeed many cats now on the show bench are
descended from Jessie via Danny.
Sadly Jessie's third and fourth matings were not successful,and she
became very withdrawn and tense. She wanted to be the only cat in the
house, but that was not possible, so we sadly decided to rehome her as a
single pet.
She went to live with a lovely couple in St.Austell, who became her
devoted slaves. They would buy her steak and lemon sole, and fresh
prawns. Unfortunately she became rather fat (!) and had to be dieted to
achieve a healthy weight. She went out in the garden and those
surrounding her home, but never went far and would always come home
for supper. She knew when it was time for the fishmonger to come, and
would sit by the back door waiting.
Obviously Jessie was important to us, but has also been important to the
breeding of selfs in the U.K. Her brother Jethro was also a stud cat for
some time, and Danny still lives happily with Carolyn. Jessie had to be
put to sleep because of widespread cancer, but had a long and happy life.

ADVERTISEMENTS AND LITERARY MATTER CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE IN OUR CATS
The proprietors shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned by any total or partial failure (however
caused) of publication or distribution of any newspaper or edition in which any advertisement is scheduled
to appear.
The publisher reserves the right to omit, suspend or change the position of any advertisement or literary
paragraph, even if it has already been accepted for publication.
The publisher also reserves the right to cancel the order at any time by giving reasonable notice before the
next insertion, but in that event the advertiser/advertising agency shall not be liable for payment of the
difference (if any) between the rates for the series specified in the order and the usual price for the series of
insertions which has appeared when the order is stopped.
The publisher reserves the right to make any alteration it considers necessary or desirable in an
advertisement, and to require artwork or copy to be amended to meet its approval.
In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the printing of an advertisement or part of an advertisement,
the proprietors will either re-insert the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may
be or make a reasonable refund on adjustment to the cost. No re-insertion, refund or adjustment will be
made where the error, misprint or omission does not materially detract from the advertisement. In no
circumstances shall the total liability of the publisher for any error, misprint or omission exceed the amount
of a full refund of any price paid to the proprietors for the particular advertisements in connection with which
liability arose or the cost of a further or corrective advertisement of a type and standard reasonably
comparable to that in connection with which liability arose.
Whilst every endeavour will be made to forward replies to Box Numbers to the advertisers as soon as
possible we accept no liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to arise through delay in forwarding
such replies however caused.
The placing of an order by an advertising agency on behalf of a client constitutes an assurance that all
necessary authority and permission has been secured in respect of the use in the advertisements(s) of
pictorial representations of (or purporting to be of) living persons, and of references to and words attributed
to living persons.
The advertising agency or advertiser submitting the advertisement shall indemnify the proprietor’s publishers
and their employees in respect of costs, damages or other charges falling upon them as a result of legal
actions or threatened legal actions arising from the publication of the advertisement published in accordance
with the copy instructions supplied to the proprietors and publishers by the agency or the advertiser. In any
case where a claim is made against the proprietors or the publishers or their employees and the agency or
advertiser may ultimately be liable under the terms of this condition, notice in writing shall be given to him
in order that consultations may take place before any expense is incurred, or the claim is settled, defended
or otherwise disposed of to his detriment.
Payments of accounts shall be made not later than the last day of the month following that in which the
advertisement appears. Payments by post shall be by cheque or postal order made payable to OUR CATS and
crossed and shall be accompanied by the relative invoice or statement and remittance advice.
The existence of a query on any individual item in an account shall not affect the due date of payment of
the balance of the account. All advertisements shall be accompanied by the name and address of the
advertiser and the proprietors and publishers may require evidence of authenticity of any advertisement.
The placing of an order for the insertion of any advertisement shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the
above conditions and any conditions stipulated on an advertisers copy or order by an agency or an advertiser
shall be void insofar as they are in conflict with the above conditions.
We would point out that whilst publishing reports, articles, etc., we do not necessarily associate ourselves
with the opinions expressed therein.
ADVERTISEMENTS MUST CONFORM WITH THE CONDITIONS & REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE OF
ADVERTISING PRACTICE & CURRENT LEGISLATION.

ORIJEN Cat is formulated
with a biologically correct
(75/25/0) ingredient ratio of
75% meat, 25% fruit and
vegetables and 0 grain.
With 7 sources of veterinary inspected
meats, ORIJEN provides a nutritionally
wide and biologically correct animo and fatty
acid balance to optimally nourish cats and
kittens of all breeds and ages - just like
Nature intended.
By nature, all cats are
carnivores, possessing a
biological need for a diet high
in protein, rich in fresh meats
and low in carbohydrate.
With the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed
chicken, wild-caught northern whitefish and
fresh whole eggs, ORIJEN CAT is bursting
with the protein-packed human-grade meats
(minimum 75%) cats and kittens need—and
none of the grains or carbohydrates that are
biologically inappropriate to cats.
