SUPREME CAT SHOW
22ND NOVEMBER 2008
JANET TONKINSON
An honour to be asked to judge once again at The Supreme Show and there seemed to be a lovely expectant buzz about the show once again. My stewarding team were Sylvia Gibbons, Jacky Atkinson and Mary Parkinson and I owe a real debt of gratitude to these ladies who guided me through what was indeed a very busy day and full book. From my point of view we made a good team that worked well together and I hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did, thank you ladies.
AOC SELF ORIENTAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE
A heart breakingly difficult class to judge with two of my favourite cats who were equally in the peak of condition it could have gone either way it was literally on the nod, but sadly there can only be one first.
1 UK GR CH & BOB DEBOWSKA’S IGR CH METEXA MENDLESSOHN 29c 11/8/06 big handsome oriental lilac boy with broad masculine head and large well set ears, good strength of profile, good depth of chin and level bite and bright green oriental eyes. Long body muscular and strong, good length of legs with neat paws and lovely long whip tail. Soft texture pinkie lilac toned short close coat that is sound to the roots, excellent temperament and condition.
2 CASSAR-SIMMONDS IGR CH SHADOWSQUAD INFIDELITY 29 27/2/06 again a big strong handsome male with broad masculine head and large well placed flared ears. Straight profile with good chin and bite and oriental set bright green eyes. Strong mature body well muscled and of good length with short close rich chestnut coat that is sound to the roots in excellent condition. Long slender legs with neat paws and lovely length of whip tail. He was just slightly overcome with the occasion at first but his lovely even temperament shone through.
AOC SELE ORIENTAL GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE
1 UKGR CH & BOB HAMILTON’S GR CH TRELGANDORF BURNT SIENNA 29 24/5/06 dainty stylish queen with nicely balanced head of good length, straight profile with good chin and bite and oriental set bright green eyes. Lovely length of slender body with good muscle tone, long legs, dainty oval paws and excellent length of whip tail. Rich warm chestnut coat maybe a fraction long but lies beautifully and sound to the roots, excellent temperament with a really wicked Havana expression.
2 & BOB TARBOX GR CH CHIKUAI LALIMA 37d 8/7/06 another stylish young lady and very relaxed, lovely head of good balance and large well placed flared ears, quite good strength of profile with a bump on her nose, firm chin, level bite and oriental set pale green eyes. Long slender body with really short close coat that is sound with minimal ghosting, rich bright red colour, slender legs, dainty paws and long stringy tail, again I could have wished for two firsts.
ORIENTAL LILAC PRE-CHAMPION MALE
1 CC SAXON’S TIJANMEEK THEPHANTOM 29c 1/9/07 handsome young boy just over a year and very promising, nicely balanced head with large well placed ears and straight profile, he could do with a little more chin but the bite is level and he has lovely oriental bright green eyes. Long svelte body in good condition, slender legs and neat oval paws, I would have liked another inch on his tail for complete balance. Lovely soft pinkie lilac toned coat, close lying and sound to roots if a fraction long but good condition, a really sweet natured young man enjoying his outing.
ORIENTAL FAWN CHAMPION MALE
1 GR CH & BOB HAGGAR’S CH SUSPIRIA SIMPLY SOLARUS 37r 21/4/07 super friendly lad of medium type with broad wedge and large well placed flared ears.

Long body although I would have liked just a little more muscle tone, slender long legs with neat paws and lovely length of whip tail. Excellent fawn colour coat, soft rosy mushroom that is sound to the roots and in good condition if a fraction longer than desired. He is a super softie just desperate for attention, he’s had lessons in bribing the judge.
ORIENTAL FAWN PRE-CHAMPION FEMALE
2 1ST & CC WITHHELD BODDY’S EMERPUS LINDENLEE 37r 18/2/06 rather disappointing young lady who I felt was far too small for her age and not really in the peak of condition for such a show as the Supreme. Quite nice head shape and length with large well placed ears, oriental deep set green eyes that looked sore and the haws were up. Straight profile but quite a shallow chin and her bite is fractionally under shot. Very slender long body really light weight and lacking in substance, slender legs and dainty paws with good length of whip tail, Soft rosy mushroom coat that is sound to the roots if a fraction long. She was not a happy girl, such a pity but she should be at her peak at this age and today she was not.
ORIENTAL RED CHAMPION FEMALE

Long firm svelte body with really long legs on which he stand very tall and proud, neat paws and lovely length of whip tail. Rich bright red coat in excellent condition sound, short and close lying.

Rather full pale green eyes, almost straight profile with reasonable chin and level bite. Long body that needs more muscle tone and slender legs with neat paws and she really needs another inch at least on her tail. Lilac coat of quite good colour and basically sound but quite long and fluffy yet somehow sticky. She was not a very happy person at all and I felt she generally needed better preparation.
