COVENTRY AND LEICESTER CAT CLUB SHOW – 27.2.10 Mrs Sally Tokens

I would like to thank Mark and the team for asking me to judge at their show. I had a very enjoyable day and would like to thank Mark Pearman for travelling with me and stewarding for the day.

RES GR CC WITHHELD 2 Attley CH SYRALETTE AMETHYST

lilac female who is nearly two years old and I was sorry to have to withhold but I felt at this age I would have preferred her larger in size and a more impressive cat. Medium bone with substance. Cheeks were fairly full but I would have liked them fuller for balance. Profile with a slight dip and a bump to the nose. Well shaped eyes of a medium blue colouring. Very clear body coat which was lacking in undercoat but soft to touch. Front left marking reaches the stopper pad but does not go past. Gloves symmetrically marked. Left sock just a smidge higher. Equally matched gauntlets. Tail very lightly covered and in proportion to the body length. Pinkish grey lilac points all fairly well matched in colour. Unfortunately not ready for the reserve grand today.

RED SELF ADULT;

BOB Morris GR CH COUNTRYGIRL GRAPEVINE

not yet two years old and two words to describe him, stunning and magnificent. The coat was groomed down to the last hair. Very full with a superb undercoat. Rich red in colour and sound and even all over right down to the roots. Large ruff to frame the face. For a working lad the time and effort spent on the preparation was second to none. Tiny ears which are set low on the side of the head. Skull well rounded. Cheeks lovely and full. Bold eyes of a very good copper. Short broad nose with a lovely break and good size leather and nostrils. Short cobby body set low on the legs and the coat touched the floor. Short full brush. A well deserved best of breed.

AC BI COLOUR RAGDOLL ADULT MALE;

CC WITHHELD 1 Jones GROOVICATS FUTURE LEGEND

thirteen months old and a seal tabby bi colour who today is just not looking balanced and seems to be going through the adolescent stage and this was my reason for withholding. Ears well positioned of a medium size and they slightly tilt forward. Cheeks fairly full and just a tiny bit pinched in the muzzle. Well shaped eyes and just a medium blue in colour. Gentle dip in profile. Level bite. Excellent strength of bone and substance. Flat plane to the top of the head. Lacking in coat today which did not help soft in texture with a minimal amount of undercoat. Full white collar and a white patch to the back. Symmetrically marked inverted v to the face. Very good tabby markings with white to the limbs. Tail lightly furnished and balances with the body showing the odd ring.

BOB Jones UK & IMP GR CH SILKIESTARLOG RAPHAEL

seal bi colour lad of nearly six years old. Such an impressive boy. Wonderful strong bone and very good weight. A real gentle giant with presence. Full white collar and a patch to his back. Symmetrically marked inverted V to the face. Medium size ears which slightly tilt forward and are well set. Very good cheeks and a well formed muzzle. Medium length nose with a gentle dip in profile. Level bite. Eyes with a slightly oblique shape and a very good blue colouring for his age. Flat plane to the top of the head. Coat long and full and groomed to perfection. Soft to touch with some undercoat present. White to the limbs. Ruff to frame the face. A real stunner.

AC BI COLOUR RAGDOLL ADULT FEMALE;

1 CC Adams RAGADEE TIRAMISU

seal girl not yet two years old. Excellent bone and weight. Ears well positioned and slightly tilt forward of a good size. Lovely width to the cheeks and a well formed muzzle. Eyes of a nice shape and medium blue colouring. Lovely profile with a gentle dip. Level bite. Flat plane to the top of the head. White to the collar and a white patch on the back. Coat quite dark in colour and paler to the roots, very full with a super undercoat and silken texture. Tail well furnished and reaching the shoulders. White to the legs and a white symmetrically marked inverted v to the face. A very pleasing girl.

2 Mitchell VALLEYCAT HEAVENSENT

Symmetrically marked inverted v to the face and white to the legs with a small white patch to the nape of the neck.

Well positioned ears which slightly tilt forward. Cheeks nice and full. Flat plane. Just a tiny bit pinched in the muzzle at present. Medium blue colouring to the eyes which were slightly oblique in shape. Level bite. This girl would look so much more impressive when she has more coat.

Well shaped eyes of a medium blue colour. Slight bump to the nose which had a slight dip. Level bite. Lovely clear and soft body coat which had a small amount of undercoat.
