Best wishes for your next engagement and may it be as successful, Irene.

SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND PREMIER MALE.

IMP GR PC to HUTCHING’S GR PR MAFDET MACARTHUR MN. (32 8) 1yr 4mths.

Very handsome neuter gentleman of very good type. Lovely even wedge with super breadth at its top between large ears widely flared in becoming alignment, splendid oriental set to his almond eyes of good depth of blue. Profile straight, chin lines up, irregular incisors meet well. Firm body of medium size, proportionate limbs, neat paws, tail might have just a tiny bit more for balance. Coat of good smooth texture, marginally long, excellent typical caramel points pattern with forehead M, single eye lines, thumb prints, excellent tail rings, super contrast to unshaded off white coat that had hints of ivory in the Hall light.

RES IMP GR PC to EMMENS’ GR PR JOHPAS JACK SPARROW. MN. (32c) 2yrs 11mths.

Very shy boy today, very handsome, even, shorter wedge, excellent broad top between large ears, the set of which he was reluctant to reveal but seemed good, oriental eyes of blue, set well. Profile shows just a little bump over the muzzle, chin lines up, irregular incisors level. Body large and strong, would have been of good length had he relaxed and straightened out, slender limbs, tail also would benefit from just a tad more to balance. Coat close and smooth, shows points that are now a hint warm, excellent texture to his off white body where there is a little shading evident, also marginally warm.

SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND PREMIER FEMALE.

IMP GR PC to GR CH & IMP GR PR ABICASA CARMINA BURANA. FN. (24c) 3yrs 6mths.

Very handsome lilac lady, showing excellent type and strong development. Very good even wedge with super width between large open, flaring ears, lovely oriental eyes of deep blue, good to see in a lilac. Profile virtually straight, chin lines up well, very good bite. Graceful neck, very strong body development, with good substance, proportionate limbs, neat paws, tail might be just a little longer for preference. Sleek coat shows pleasing soft lilac points with a hint of warmth, good contrast to the magnolia body that shows a trace of toning shading. Bursting with condition and confidence. Later Best Siamese Exhibit, Congratulations.

RES IMP GR PC to EMMENS’ CH & GR PR JOHPAS BLONDE BOMBSHELL FN (32c) 6yrs 11mths.

Very attractive strong girl with a medium length, even wedge on which ears are well placed and flared in line with the wedge. Oriental eyes of very good blue. Profile now shows just a slight dish from the brow, chin and bite level. Very good strong body and limbs, tail balances. Coat a little long but texture smooth, very good soft cream points with super contrast to the rather cool, off white body that shows very little shading. Like her stable mate seemed very diffident today.

ORIENTAL BLUE KITTEN, MALE.

1 BoB. McCULLOCH’S NUTROSTAR BLUE-MOON. F. (37a) 7mths 1wk.

Feisty little madam of good basic type. Wedge even with ears of good size and openness, placed well though would prefer just a little more flare, eyes of oriental shape, marginally open but she spent a lot of her time on her toes, clear green. Profile virtually straight, level chin and bite. Dainty, feminine body, limbs and tail to match. Coat texture good, sound but rather a dark blue, with just hints of brown which made me pause; pads also not quite typical blue though nose leather is. I debated about this for a while, eventually gave her the benefit and awarding the BoB, but will be interested to see how her colour develops.

Gorgeous coat, texture smooth, a lovely warm mushroom shade with rather warm breaks evident.

BoB to LEE’S CH & IUK GR PR WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD. FN. (37p) 4yrs 3mths.

Serene and stately as ever, splendid top to her beautiful wedge, superior expression to her oriental deep green eyes, straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Balanced body and limbs, tail to match. Coat of super texture, typical taupe with warm breaks to it. A pleasure to have met her several times recently in her glamorous mature years.
