Siamese Cat Society of Scotland

Mr Craig Dryden
What can I say – I first attended this show in 1985 and showed my first show cat here the following year, it only seems like yesterday, so some 24 years later I was honoured to come back to judge, I thoroughly enjoyed the day as always and the day was made even more enjoyable with my steward Gaynor Rothwell who had a very good day with her cats too. Thank you Gaynor. A big thank you also to the committee and to Bruce and Gillian for inviting me.

SEAL POINT KITTEN MALE

1st Robb’s Kheraf Geraldo (24) 28.011.08
Well grown boy for his age looking a bit out of balance today his head seems to have grown more than his ears and ideally needs larger ears at present with some more flare and width on top Straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Lovely depth to muzzle. Long strong body with good muscle tone developing and long strong limbs and paws to grow into. Eyes of good colour that ideally I would prefer deeper in colour and were a smidge deep set and requiring more expression for me. Warm seal brown points with excellent warm cream coat with a smidge of shading in tone. Overall a strong boy looking good.

SEAL POINT KITTEN FEMALE

1st BOB Evan’s Flutterby Funtime Gal (24) 11/10/08
Fine boned stylish lady of excellent type looking a bit wee for her age , I did hesitate over the BOB but on the whole this was the only thing I could pin point and I did think she could have been calling, she was well covered and had good muscle tone – she will just be a smaller cat. Medium balanced wedge head with large very well set ears with good top, slight pinch to muzzle at present. Almost straight profile with slight dip above the eyes at present, firm chin and just level bite! Long fine body with excellent style and long whip tail and elegant limbs. Dark warm seal brown points with warm cream coat. A shy sweet tempered lady of excellent type needing a slight growth spurt.
