JANET TONKINSON
First day back and thankfully a fairly light book I was exhausted by the end of the day. However, it was good to be back on my feet and I had some lovely cats to handle. My thanks to Lynda and her team for the invitation and as always the warm hospitality and excellent lunch, and special thanks to my steward Penny Jackson for taking good care of me and her gentle handling of the cats.

Lovely bright green oriental eyes, her profile has begun to dip a little with age but good chin and she still has a practically full set of teeth.

Good length of slender body with clear ivory coat that is fractionally long but lovely condition and he is well covered and developed.

1 MOORE’S KINKAJEWSDEN AKENA 24b F 29/5/08 sweet little girl with medium length wedge and large well placed ears wide at base, almost straight profile with good chin and bite with tiny teething pinch to muzzle and deep blue oriental eyes, however, her mask and points are really very dark chocolate she could almost pass for seal except that her pinkie brown paw pads say chocolate. Neat little body of reasonable size for age with some shading to her lower back, her coat is fractionally long rather cool toned lacking the warmth if the ivory colour, though in good condition. Slender long legs and dainty little paws her stockings are well matched in the same dark shade, reasonable length of stringy tail that has a small anomaly at the end which is neither a kink or a knobble and only palpable in one direction, good presentation.
FAWN POINT ITERMEDIATE SIAMESE KITTEN
1 BOB WITHHELD HAGGAR’S SOLARUS BEAUDIDDLY 24r M 2/4/08 rather innocent and effeminate looking young boy with short medium wedge and large ears carried quite tall, basically straight profile with firm chin and bite, but sadly his eye colour leave rather a lot to be desired, I really don’t think I have ever seen such a pale china blue and they are quite full in shape which adds to his very innocent expression and was my main reason for withholding. Long body with reasonable muscle tone and clear magnolia coat that is soft in texture and slightly long, good leg length and neat oval paws but he could benefit from another inch on the length of his tail. His mask is quite well developed in a warm rosy mushroom well matched to his ears paws and tail for colour, a sweet natured little chap nicely presented.

DOUBLE’S REUDENZA MOONBEAM 32.8 F 3/1/06 quite stylish mature young lady caramel tabby point with good balance to her head and large wide based ears with thumb prints just apparent. Nice top of head and good strength of profile with bright clear royal blue oriental eyes, scarab to brow eye ribbons and whisker spots with good chin and bite, probably blue based caramel. Graceful neck lines and short close lying coat that is quite shaded but in tone with her points and there is still clear contrast, she is a little too well fed which detracts slightly from her overall elegance. Slender long legs and neat oval paws with good leg bracelets and neat paws, well ringed whip tail which would have just benefited from another half an inch, well present and good natured queen.
2 POUND’S GR CH JOMESE JENUINELY GORGJUS 32a F 4/5/06 pretty red point queen with good even wedge and large wide based ears and wonderful deep blue oriental eyes. Straight profile with firm chin but her bite is slightly untidy at the moment, pale red mask matched to her ears for colour. Graceful long neck and slender body with clear off white coat that I just felt was slightly open today and she needed a little more weight on her. It was quite cold in the hall during the morning especially at that end and maybe she has just returned from maternity leave and not quite back to full condition. Long slender legs with neat paws, pale red stockings and lovely length of whip tail, excellent temperament and presentation.
