Cheshire Area Cat Club Show Report
8th November 2008
Dr Peter Collin
I would like to thank Pat and Dorothy for the kind invitation to this one of my local shows. It was a pleasure to attend and the size and quality of the Burmese entry was very good- thank you to the exhibitors for making me work hard! Thanks also to my very competent steward Jan Bradley for looking after me so well.
Class 397 Blue Burmese Kitten
1st and BOB Marriott-Power and Marriott’s Rumba Lavender Blue (27a) 05/04/08: A happy relaxed kitten enjoying her day out. She had a fairly short wedge with reasonably good width at her cheekbones and tapering to a blunt finish to her muzzle that I would have preferred slightly shorter. She had good rounding to the top of her head and reasonably good width between her ears that would have benefitted from being set slightly lower. Her ears were medium to large in size and were the correct shape having a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes were medium in size and were set well apart and were the correct shape having a rounded bottom line and a flatter top line slanted towards her nose. They were chartreuse in colour. She had a nice Burmese expression. In profile her depth of head was good and her ears showed slight forward tilt. She had a gently rounded brow and a well defined nose break. Her nose was reasonably short and had a roll off at the tip but finished in the same vertical plane as her chin that was of medium depth. Her bite was correct. Her body was well grown and her muscularity was developing. She had a rounded chest and a straight back and she had elegant legs that ended in neat oval shaped paws. Her tail was the correct shape having a medium base and tapering to a rounded tip and was long enough to balance. Her coat was medium in length and soft in texture and was nice and close. It was a mid-toned Blue shade with some silvering on her face and paws and she was clear coated. Her condition was good and she was calm and playful throughout.

He had a shortish wedge with reasonably good width at his cheekbones and tapering to a blunt finish to his muzzle. The top of his head was gently rounded and he had reasonably good width between his ears that I would have preferred set slightly lower for preference although they improved as he relaxed. His ears were largish in size and were the correct shape having a broad base and rounded tips. His eyes were medium in size and set well apart with a rounded bottom line and a straighter top line angled towards his nose. They were pale yellow in colour.

1st Crow and Goss’s GrPr Kagura Gloriana (27) 25/04/99: What a charming girl. Super type only bettered by her lovely temperament! She had a super short wide wedge with very good width at her cheek bones and tapering to a short and blunt muzzle. She had excellent rounding to the top of her head and good width between her ears that I would have liked set a little lower for perfection. Her ears were on the smaller side of medium and a correct shape with a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes were a super feature being large and lustrous and set well apart and had a well defined shape with a well rounded bottom line and a straighter top line angled towards her nose. She had a lovely Burmese expression. In profile her depth of skull was very good and her ears showed slight forward tilt. Her brow was rounded and her nose break was very well defined. Her nose was short and straight and finished in the same vertical plane as her chin that was lovely and deep. Her bite was correct although teeth were missing. Her body was the petite side of medium and of lovely weight and was firm and muscular. She had a rounded chest and a straight back. Her tail was medium thick at the base and tapered to a rounded tip and was long enough to balance. Her coat was medium in length and lay well. It was a rich seal brown and she had a few white hairs on her upper shoulders. She was clear coated. Her condition was good and she had a very loving temperament.
