BALINESE CAT SOCIETY

Red, Cream or Apricot (including Tabby) Point Adult Female .

1 but CC.w/h Mrs S Pinington’s SPINDIAMOND FLAME (61dt) F 26.6.07

A rather small and immature looking girl of fairly good type, she has a medium sized wedge head, wide top and medium sized well set ears, dip in profile, firm chin and level bite, rather small and slightly sore blue eyes, long firm body, long legs and oval tufted feet, long fairly well plumed tail. Bright red tabby points and a little shading on her off white body, good contrast, slightly sparse coat, which really needs to be longer. I am sorry but I did not feel this girl was up to certificate standard on this occasion.

Bright apricot tabby points and some shading on her off white body, still enough contrast. Very good length, soft fine close lying coat. A sweet girl well presented in excellent condition.
