NORMA FARNSWORTH

SIAMESE CAT ASSOCIATION

20th JUNE 2009

Many thanks for the invitation to judge at this impeccably managed show, one expects nothing less with Lilian and Harry at the controls. My steward was Joan Pounds who was her usual calm, competent self which was much appreciated; the excellent company was a bonus. Many thanks to Mavis and her team for the excellent lunch.

BLUE POINT MALE KITTEN 6-9 months:

W/C FAIRCLOUGH’S BRYTHAIS HARITH (MN) 13.10.08

A well grown kitten of very good type. Sadly, to my eye his colour is definitely blue based caramel which denied him the first prize he deserved. Head of very good balance with excellent top of head and large ears. Almost straight profile, level bite and firm chin. Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour. Long, well muscled body with slim legs and long whip tail. Slight shading on a short, close lying coat.

2.MASON’S GENETTA BILLYBOY 23.10.08

A kitten of correct blue colour who, unfortunately, had a protruding sternum evident on the day. Hopefully this may improve as his body grows more muscle. Balanced wedge with small pinch to muzzle. Almost straight profile, level bite and good chin. Good top of head and large, well placed ears. Slightly full eyes of good basic shape and set with clear mid blue colour. Body of good weight and type with slender legs and whip tail. Very good blue points and a white coat of excellent length and texture.

BLUE POINT FEMALE KITTEN under 6 months:

W/C SIMPSON’S SHERMESE CHERRY BLOSSOM 10.12.09

I debated long and hard whether to wrong colour this kitten or not. On the one hand it was very young but on the other the colour was not good. The points were a gun metal blue and there was extensive fawn shading on the coat. Very good type overall with excellent top of head and large widespread ears. Straight nose, slightly raised between the eyes. Level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape and set with clear blue colour which could be a tad deeper for perfection. Fragile neckline and long svelte body with dainty legs and long whip tail. Slightly long kitten coat of excellent texture. Promising kitten whatever the colour.

LILAC POINT MALE ADULT:

1.CC.W/H.MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE PEGASUS 28.5.08

Young male of excellent growth. Good length wedge with balancing width between ears which need to be larger and which he held a fraction high. Straight profile, level bite and good chin. Eyes of good basic shape and set which he opened wide on occasion. Strong neckline and long, muscular body of good type with strong legs and good length tail. Excellent lilac points colour and a coat of excellent length and texture and clear magnolia colour. Shown in excellent condition with an excellent temperament.

LILAC POINT FEMALE ADULT:

BOB.DUNCAN’S UK.GR.CH.BRYTHAIS LILYPUT 17.6.03

A mature queen shown in sparkling condition. Very feminine with an excellent top of head and large well placed ears. Straight profile, some teeth missing but bite appears to be level and good chin. Oriental eye shape and set with clear, bright blue colour. Elegant neckline and body type with slender legs and long whip tail. Good lilac points colour and a virtually clear magnolia coat which was short, smooth and close lying. A credit to the owner.

RED POINT MALE NEUTER:

1.PC.BOB. EMMENS’ PR.CHIARIKKI TRIBAL WARRIOR 10.5.05

Good to see this stylish boy back on the show bench. Excellent type and growth with a good length head and balancing width between large ears. Straight profile, level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour and glowering expression. Well defined neckline and long muscular body of stylish type with slim legs and long whip tail. Bright red points and a clear coat of excellent length and texture. Not exactly full of the joys of spring!

APRICOT POINT MALE NEUTER:

1.PC.BOB. AGGETT’S AMYDAY SOLAR LIGHT 21.8.06

The epitome of style and type. Beautifully poised demeanour with a good length head and excellent width between large ears. Excellent profile, some teeth missing but bite appears to be level and firm chin. Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour and superior expression. Regal head carriage and long, muscular body of stylish type with slim legs and very long whip tail. Good apricot points colour and slight shading on a coat of excellent length and texture.

JUNIOR ADULT FEMALE:

1.POUNDS’ CH.JOHMESE JENNY MANYDOTS(32b1) 3.8.07

Very stylish female of elegant type. Good top of head and large well placed ears. Straight profile, level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape, marginally straight set with brilliant blue colour. Regal head carriage and elegant body type with slim legs and long whip tail. All points well mingled with red and a short, close lying coat of excellent texture.

2.WOODHOUSE’S DORAL INYOURDREAMS(61e)

Fine boned queen of good type. Straight wedge with good top of head and large ears. Straight profile, level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape and set with deep blue colour. Long body of stylish type with dainty legs and well plumed tail. Points well mingled with shades of red and a coat of good length lying smoothly along the spine.

BREED 24 SIAMESE/BALINESE KITTEN: A class of quality kittens which was a pleasure to judge, the second and third having just a whisker between them.

1.LODWIG’S MAFDET MAFIOSO(24) MN 4.10.08

A beautiful exhibit of excellent type. Well balanced head with straight lines to muzzle and excellent width between large ears. Excellent profile, level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape and set with bright blue colour which could be a shade deeper for a seal. Proud head carriage and well defined neckline, muscular body of good type with slim legs and a very long whip tail. Warm seal points and some toning shading on a coat of exquisite length and texture showing good contrast.

2.SKIVINGTON’S MEILLAND MISTER FINLEY(24) M 2.3.09

A much younger kitten of perfect balance. A beautiful head with straight lines from every angle. Excellent width between large well placed ears. Straight profile, level bite and good chin. Oriental eye shape, a fraction straight set with bright blue colour which could be a shade deeper for utter perfection. At the moment there is a transient turning in of the left eye – now you see it now you don’t which, hopefully, is due to teething. Delicate neckline and firm body of good type with dainty legs and long whip tail. Warm seal points which augurs well for the future and a warm cream coat of excellent length and texture.

3.SIMPSON’S SHERMESE FABULOUS FABERGE(24) M 10.2.09

A stylish kitten of flashy type. Excellent top of head and large butterfly ears. Straight profile, pronounced pinch to muzzle, teething perhaps? Level bite and chin could be stronger. Slightly straight set eyes of oriental shape and clear blue colour which could be deeper for perfection. Well defined neckline and firm body of stylish type with slim legs and long, string like whip tail. Dark seal points and a cream coat which was short and close lying.
