SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND PREMIER MALE.

 Very handsome neuter gentleman of very good type. Lovely even wedge with super breadth at its top between large ears widely flared in becoming alignment, splendid oriental set to his almond eyes of good depth of blue. Profile straight, chin lines up, irregular incisors meet well. Firm body of medium size, proportionate limbs, neat paws, tail might have just a tiny bit more for balance. Coat of good smooth texture, marginally long, excellent typical caramel points pattern with forehead M, single eye lines, thumb prints, excellent tail rings, super contrast to unshaded off white coat that had hints of ivory in the Hall light.

 RES IMP GR PC to EMMENS’ GR PR JOHPAS JACK SPARROW. MN. (32c) 2yrs 11mths.

 Very shy boy today, very handsome, even, shorter wedge, excellent broad top between large ears, the set of which he was reluctant to reveal but seemed good, oriental eyes of blue, set well. Profile shows just a little bump over the muzzle, chin lines up, irregular incisors level. Body large and strong, would have been of good length had he relaxed and straightened out, slender limbs, tail also would benefit from just a tad more to balance. Coat close and smooth, shows points that are now a hint warm, excellent texture to his off white body where there is a little shading evident, also marginally warm.

SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND PREMIER FEMALE.

IMP GR PC to GR CH & IMP GR PR ABICASA CARMINA BURANA. FN. (24c) 3yrs 6mths.

Very handsome lilac lady, showing excellent type and strong development. Very good even wedge with super width between large open, flaring ears, lovely oriental eyes of deep blue, good to see in a lilac. Profile virtually straight, chin lines up well, very good bite. Graceful neck, very strong body development, with good substance, proportionate limbs, neat paws, tail might be just a little longer for preference. Sleek coat shows pleasing soft lilac points with a hint of warmth, good contrast to the magnolia body that shows a trace of toning shading. Bursting with condition and confidence. Later Best Siamese Exhibit, Congratulations.

RES IMP GR PC to EMMENS’ CH & GR PR JOHPAS BLONDE BOMBSHELL FN (32c) 6yrs 11mths.

Very attractive strong girl with a medium length, even wedge on which ears are well placed and flared in line with the wedge. Oriental eyes of very good blue. Profile now shows just a slight dish from the brow, chin and bite level. Very good strong body and limbs, tail balances. Coat a little long but texture smooth, very good soft cream points with super contrast to the rather cool, off white body that shows very little shading. Like her stable mate seemed very diffident today.

 ORIENTAL BLUE KITTEN, MALE.

1 BoB. McCULLOCH’S NUTROSTAR BLUE-MOON. F. (37a) 7mths 1wk.

 Feisty little madam of good basic type. Wedge even with ears of good size and openness, placed well though would prefer just a little more flare, eyes of oriental shape, marginally open but she spent a lot of her time on her toes, clear green. Profile virtually straight, level chin and bite. Dainty, feminine body, limbs and tail to match. Coat texture good, sound but rather a dark blue, with just hints of brown which made me pause; pads also not quite typical blue though nose leather is. I debated about this for a while, eventually gave her the benefit and awarding the BoB, but will be interested to see how her colour develops.

PS - THE HOUSEHOLD PETS WERE ALL PURR-FECTLY BEHAVED AND WELL PREPARED - AND THEIR OWNERS SHOULD INDEED BE SO PROUD !! BABS CHIARA BAILEY

OPEN CLASSES - HOUSEHOLD PETS SELF (single colour) ADULT with or without white MALE

1ST - Christians GMC TEDDY BOY - blue MN aged 6

a large and lovely dark blue self coloured lad - superbly lush close textured coat of immense substance - and a most pleasing and gentle temperament -also well presented in his pen - soft green eyes and neat shaped ears - an adorable pert pussycats nose and oh those huge paws - a happy fellow who was the ideal introduction and start to this HP judges show day !

2nd - Hawkins LENNON 

 sh black and white MN aged 8 - another big and beautifully presented boy - again with green eyes and also a very gentle nature - with impeccably white socks and a wonderfully long set of matching white whiskers - so well presented - and adored his huge paws and handsome face - a couple of contrastic cats so a close run decision for me to make !

 SELF (single colour) ADULT with or without white FEMALE

 1st - Kidds GMC DAISY - an adorable black and white FN aged 4

 a very pretty black and white lady with a plush cleanly groomed coat and neat little black ears - eyes like olives and petite paws - very good show preparations - and she shared a little soft spoken girlie cat chat with us - well awarded her a first place !

 GINGER OR AC TORTOISHELL ADULT with/without white MALE

1st - Kidds GMC GARFIELD

amazed at his age saying he was 12 since he surely didn’t appear so senior - a typically ginger male neuter with the softer honey colours of his marvellous maturity - and large paws, rounded green eyes, very well groomed indeed - this guy was waiting for us to open his show pen so that he could simply stroll out onto the table to be judged - a most laidback and lovely lad indeed - many thanks for my seeing him at this show, since remember him from some years ago, and this gentleman wears his middle years with great dignity and a gentle good nature ! Nb - not one of all these adult cats seemed to act their ages at all, which was an absolute delight to me, because I have some seven middle aged and senior HPs at home myself - and its all their show owners love, time, and lots of TLC that makes them stay this young and active !!

GINGER OR AOC TORTOISHELL ADULT with/without white FEMALE

 1st - Kidds GMC HANNAH - tortie and white FN aged 10

again a lady who looked far younger for a feline of her calendar age ! Rich coppery coat, neatly patterned - so pretty paws, gentle green eyes, very good presentation - such a sweet girl - special thanks for entering her in this class !

ANY OTHER COLOUR OR PATTERN ADULT with/without white FEMALE

I only judged her in side classes - so not in my own opens sadly - but she was also my shared eventual nomination for the BIS ( with the other HP and PED PET judge after some deliberations) because this girl was just so SO gorgeous and unusual ! PS -have had to mention her here , since she was a wonderfully intense shade of all that’s autumnal, almost like a cat curled up across a carpet in front of an autumn log fire, her fur almost glowed with warmth - well done indeed to her owner on her show win - especially since was told later that she was a rescue as a one day old abandoned baby and also hand reared, which isn’t an easy task at all, such a special purr-sonage - and a pleasure to see at the Airedale !!

PEDIGREE PETS TABBY ADULT - ANY PATTERN - with/without white

 1st - Bretts PRINCE DAYBREAK

 a very very large blue coloured MN tabby age 4 My first impressions were of a wonderfully thick and slightly waved coat, his white ear tufts, and a cute salmon pink nosepad - all set against amazingly intense dark amber eyes ! Well groomed and presented, with a distinct M mark on the forehead - plus a set of gigantic paws - a real pleasure of a pussiecat - presented to perfection - ps most laid back and lazed on the table looking into my eyes - liked him a lot !!
