Nice little lady with a medium length, slightly blunt wedge, needing a little more width at the top between the ears of good size that she tends to hold just a tad up and forward. Eyes oriental and of good blue tone, Pleasing profile, gentlest angle at the brow line, straight above and below that. Balanced body, limbs and tail. Matching points in a mid lilac shade, good contrast to magnolia body that shows a hint of matching shading.
ORIENTAL SHADED ADULT FEMALE.
Not as entered. TOSUN’S SAITAN MISS TEASE.
This little lady was entered as 43bs but was unfortunately clearly not a silver. I did check with the Show Management but was informed that it was so entered so our hands were tied. She was a sweet, rather dainty lass for her age, with an even wedge, fine at the muzzle, large well spaced ears, oriental, olive toned eyes, very good straight profile, level chin and good bite. Neatl body, balancing limbs and tail. Sleek coat shows warm chocolate coat, rather ticked in appearance with an undercoat typical of a usual, which, I learned later, is what she is registered as. An unfortunate chapter of accidents I’m afraid.
ORIENTAL BLACK MALE NEUTER.
1 PC. BoB. HALLIDAY’S PR TOGHAR MIDNITE MAJIK. 1yr 7mths.
In spite of this gentleman’s formidable type and appearance, he wanted nothing more than to hide it all under his voluminous blankets. He has a long wedge with a marginal pinch, excellent breadth at the top between large flaring ears, oriental eyes of very good bright green shade, super straight profile, level chin and bite. Wonderful, long, long body, matching limbs and tail with the hint of a terminal piplet. Gorgeous sleek coat texture, gleaming sound black.

Close short coat shows warm tabby pattern on the points, tail rings somewhat darker, body now showing shading in a spotted pattern that most of the spotted tabbies on the Show bench would give their eye teeth for – beautifully discrete spots, but, despite these, some contrast evident

AV ORIENTAL KITTEN.

Striking lass with a remarkable pattern. Medium length wedge, a touch blunt at the muzzle, ears of size, set quite well upon it, flared nicely, clear, light green, slightly full oriental eyes. Very good straight profile, rounded chin, good level bite. Dainty little body and limbs, proportionate tail. White sparkling, just over the required one third of body area in quantity, and just makes it to continuity down abdomen between two rather threatening promontories of soft colour that reach out from the sides toward the middle of the tummy. Coloured areas of coat show very good dramatic ticked pattern, evenly distributed, virtually no darkening over the spine line, clear banding of the hairs in a rather chocolaty shade, darker on the tabby tracings on the crown.
AC SIAMESE NEUTER.
1. SAXON’S PR SHIMILEETA STONECOLDCRAZY. (32 3) 2yrs 7mths.
AC SH NEUTER.
1. STARK’S DUSHENKA XARIABELLA FN (16a) 1yr 5mths.
Sweet lady with a rather rounded wedge full face, by virtue of the fur on her cheeks, which slightly obscure the whisker pads though they are there. Profile shows the required gentle curve brow to nose, with straight brow above, chin and bite excellent. Pointed ears, might be a little more obviously upright, but pretty good. Eyes spaced, rounded almond in shape, dazzling iridescent green in colour. Neat firm body, balanced limbs, proportionate, tapering tail. Coat of good soundness, dense and soft in texture, nice mid blue.
2. KELSALL’S GR PR ABYGLEN ASTARLET. FN. (23c) 8yrs 4mths.
Senior lady, a bit cross, with a moderate wedge, tapering to a slightly blunt muzzle defined by the required indentation. Ears might be a little larger, appropriately widely placed, just cupped. Eyes of oriental shape, super wicked crescent moons when viewed from above, goldy amber in tone. Profile shows a slight break, chin firm, bite not examined. Medium sized body, and limbs, tapered tail. Coat texture good, dense blue, a little short on clearly delineated ticking of the blue now, belly etc a pleasing warm mushroomy shade. Parting the blue hairs on the back and trunk, however, reveals a startlingly bright white undercoat stretching about one third of the way up the hair shafts, almost like that in a smoke though there is no indication of silver elsewhere as the belly etc are of the correct, warmer shade.
