JANET TONKINSON
JUDGING ASSESSMENT CATS, MALE
1 No 45 32.10 M 4yrs 11mths big mature apricot tabby point boy with broad masculine head and large wide based ears well set, deep blue eyes of oriental set and shape and strong almost roman profile, good depth of chin and level bite, scarab to brow, eye ribbons and whisker spots all well defined in apricot, he also has a few old scars on his nose. Huge long and very muscular body with short close lying coat in lovely condition although there is general tonal shading all over but still showing contrast. Long legs with neat oval paws in proportion to his size with quite good leg bracelets and good length of whip tail showing rings. He is a lovely gentle giant of a boy well presented.
2 No 46 32.4 M 2yrs 3mths very friendly lilac tabby point boy with excellent head really well balanced large ears of good set and showing clear thumb prints. Wonderful deep blue oriental eyes with double ribbons, strong roman profile and scarab to brow, I would have liked a slightly deeper chin but his bite is level. However, the rest of him doesn’t quite match, he has good weight and muscle tone but I really felt that for an entire male his body was rather lacking in length, short close coat that has some shading though in quite good condition. Slender legs of reasonable length with good barring and neat oval paws, good length of well ringed tail to balance, lovely natured boy enjoying the attention.
JUDGING ASSESSMENT CATS, FEMALE
No 47 1ST CC & BOB 32.2 F 9mths very stylist blue tabby point young queen who is only just adult but has all the promise you could wish for, excellent head with large wide based ears set at just the right angle and showing thumb prints. Really strong roman profile with good depth of chin and level bite and she has full facial markings M to brow eye ribbons deep blue oriental eyes and whisker spots all well defined. Long slender and graceful body and short close coat there is some tonal shading to the lower flanks but overall condition is excellent. Slender long legs with neat oval paws and clear well defined leg bracelets, good length of whip tail showing clear rings, a lovely young lady that I would like to see do well.
No 48 2nd 32.2 F 1yr 3mths slightly more mature girl with quite nice head although I feel she is slightly sharp in the muzzle, large wide based ears with thumb prints, of reasonable set but for my taste I felt that she held them too flat out to the horizontal. Lovely deep blue oriental eyes and clear facial markings M to brow eye ribbons and whisker spots, I would have liked a deeper chin but her bite is level. Good length of slender body with short coat that is slightly open but the hall was rather cold, she is quite shaded but there is still contrast, slender legs and good bracelets she stands quite tall on her neat paws, long whippy tail with classic pattern tail rings and there is a tiny deformity of the last vertebra, well presented and lovely temperament.
