My thanks to Grave and her committee for the invitation, as always it was a fun show with some lovely cats. I was delighted to have Andy Finch stewarding for me, he handles all cats with ease and is great company, I’ve already booked him for the future.

BRITISH BLUE ADULT MALE

1. C.C. B.O.B. STUBBS’S WILLOWWOOD AUGUSTUS GOOP (16) M 25/05/09

A huge boy with just the most delightful nature, huge well developed head with wide smooth skull between well set ears with rounded tips. Large round eyes a super deep orange colour, short nose with rather a dip when viewed in profile but this was balanced by full well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, his bite has level incisors with slightly dished top canine’s, firm chin. He has a massive frame which was rather long, when he fills out he will need a block to lift him if he doesn’t want to get up. Short coat with super density a pleasing sound mid blue just a touch on the soft side, balanced length rather full tail.

2. BROMLEY’S ADATESH LUCKY STAR (16) M 15/06/08

This boy was not at all happy, despite being a year older than my winner he had a very adolescent look to him. Small head with narrow top and medium sized ears, round light orange coloured eyes, short straight nose, he is lacking cheeks and muzzle which is what makes him look much younger than he is, level bite and rather weak chin. Small framed with short finely boned limbs, short coat that lacked density it was unsound to the roots and showed some barring to the ends, rather long slightly thin tail.

BRITISH BLUE ADULT FEMALE

1. C.C. BROWN’S LYNBRO LAYLA (16) F 21/03/08

A rather shy girl not hugely happy but not difficult to handle. Round head with slightly narrow skull between medium sized ears, large round orange eyes, short broad nose, her cheeks are quite full, she has a very strong muzzle and rather weak chin but despite this has a level bite. Compact shaped body with good boning to limbs, short but slightly soft light blue coat that was a fraction longer along her spine line, slightly short tail that was very thick to the base and pointed to the tip.

A.C. SELKIRK REX PREMIER MALE

1. G.P.C. CREATON & WALKERS CH & PR CURLU NATE (79L 15) MN 19/04/08

Black Longhair. I gave this boy a C.C when he was entire and said what a lovely nature, I am afraid he was having an off day and was a tad grumpy today he really told us what he thought as we put him back in his pen. Broad head with round underlying bone structure, well set medium size ears with broad base and rounded at the to tips. He would not open his eyes and gave us a very slit eyed glare, short nose with downward slant, full muzzle with well padded whisker pads and rectangular impression, level bite good chin. Nice weight and size to body with a rectangular shape and sturdy boned limbs. He has a summer coat which was very well prepared, quite good ruff, more crimped than curled to his back. Medium length tail with crinkles rather than curls.

BRITISH RED SPOTTED NEUTER

B.O.B. TO WITHEY’S IGR PR STONNALL ROCKEE (30d) MN 15/06/05

BRITISH BLACK SILVER SPOTTED NEUTER

1. P.C. B.O.B. WITHEY CH & GR PR SHAMISSYL SILVER SURPRISE (30s) MN 31/08/96

What an old sweetie, he was so relaxed he didn’t want to stand up but did give us a loud purr when we finally persuaded him to. Large round head with smooth top and medium sized well set eats, large round eyes that still have a hint of green, short broad nose full cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite, I was amazed he has nearly all his teeth still, fair chin. As is the way will all content neuters he is a little on the rotund side, luckily he has very thick well boned legs to hold him up. Short dark silver coat with dense black markings, it lacked density due to moulting, clear facial markings, slightly linked spine line, the side spots are clearer, short ringed tail.

DEVON REX NEUTER MALE

1. P.C. RICE’S CH & PR BOUNTIFUL JOEBALCK (33a 36) MN 25/12/08

Large eyes with good set and lovely expression a fraction on the round side, short nose with more of a slope than stop, the muzzle and whisker break rather merged together, level bite and fair chin. Elegant neck, firm lithe body with slim legs and oval paws, short silky coat covering all of his body with well formed ripples, long tapering tail well covered with short fur.

2. MAPES’S KARAKUL BEAU REGARD (33a 18) MN 13/08/09

Silver Tabby. What a gorgeous nature this boy has he was head butting and purring all the time, he is a tad on the plum side but I can see why he’s so indulged. Short broad wedge with high cheek bones, rounded brow and fairly flat rather narrow skull between high set ears that are medium in size and tufted to the tips. His eyes have a slight slant to outer edge, short nose which has a slight dip but no stop, his muzzle is thin and rounded but there is no real whisker break, level bite, his chin falls away. A big boy with a well developed body his coat is a tending to medium length and covers all of his body with only slight curls. Long tail well covered with fur.
