HAVANA & ORIENTAL LILAC CAT CLUB

2 May 2009

Judge: Perri Hutchison

I would like to thank Janet and the Committee for the kind invitation to judge at this breed show which was back to back with the Oriental Shaded, Smoke & Tabby Society’s 1st Exemption Show, and for the warm Midland hospitality. My very grateful thanks to Simon Fremont who came especially to steward for me. He handled the cats with confidence and care and was good company. Thanks Simon, I hope we can do it again sometime.

Her eyes are oriental in shape, set well apart, slanting towards her nose, deep emerald green in colour. In profile she has a straight nose, firm chin, level bite. Elegant neck. Long svelte body of good weight and super muscle tone. Slim legs and dainty oval paws. Tail long and tapering, balances. Super short sleek coat, jet black and sound to the roots. Fabulous purring temperament and a little kisser! Well presented. She went on to become Best in Show Kitten – congratulations to her owner/breeder!
