CCKENTISH CAT SOCIETY SHOW 17TH OCTOBER 2009 JUDGES REPORT MS JANE ALLEN

Thanks to Helen, Sean and Sue for their kind invitation to judge at the show this year. A change of venue is always a challenge but one well met by this seasoned team. Loved the halloween theme, what a goulish lot we were!!! Thanks so much to Barbara Sinclaire for coming specially to steward we had a great day with some lovely cats and I enjoyed your company very much. I look forward to us working together again soon.

BLACK NEUTER

1 PR BOB SINCLAIRES MYSTERE TURBULENCE 5.7.08

I just loved every bit of this young man! Glorious young boy with super head and type, broad top with neat, well set ears. Smooth skull. Round, bold large copper eyes that really shone out of his head!! Short, broad nose with wide cheeks. Acceptable bite and firm chin. Cobby frame with short, full tail and short, stocky legs. His coat was so well shown being dense black and quite full. Shown to perfection and a super boy to handle as well. What a start to my day!!!

BLUE NEUTER

1 PR BOB DAVEYS GR PR BRONABA SONGSUNG BLUE 10.7.02

A seasoned campaigner and so lovely to handle too. Very typy head with decent width between his ears. Round, bold eyes that were orange in colour now. Short nose with acceptable leather and nostrils. Wide cheeks. His bite was undershot but within the levels of acceptability. Firm chin. He was a little short of coat making him appear higher on the legs than he truly is. Tail in proportion to his body. Decent boning to his limbs. I liked the tone of blue, much paler than I have seen on the show bench of late and really sound to the roots. Well shown on his back but that typical curly texture on his tummy which I do appreciate is a nightmare to groom. Very lovely nature and obviously so well loved.

TORTOISESHELL NEUTER

BOB ONLY SAUNDERS GR PR MYSTERE MAKING A SPLASH 24.6.06

A great favourite of mine and looking an absolute picture today. Very beautifully balanced head and type coupled with cobby frame, dinky short tail and a full, flowing coat of black and shades of red. She really is the complete picture. Shown to perfection – my congratulations to her devoted owner Claire Saunders and to Diane Hunt on breeding two most outstanding exhibits.

two very interesting promising exhibits.

1 PR POBGEE YAHESKA ARTIC WARRIOR 64 14c 6.11.08

Very nice young man with large ears well set on his skull. Very good width to length balance with quite large eyes slightly obliquely set. Uniform width nose with shallow concave curve in profile and with super perpendicular line from his nose tip to chin. Very pleasing square muzzle. Very long body and tail with long legs with excellent boning and large, round strong paws. Full marks for his presentation with full ruff and breeches. Lovely to handle and overall a very pleasing young man.

2 BERGMANS SOMERSISLE THEODORE 64 36 22.8.08

Another very good quality exhibit and the first thing that hit me was his amazing tail!!! Large, well set ears with super tufts and tips. High cheek bones with good width to length balance. Slightly obliquely set green eyes. Uniform width onse with shallow concave curve and a slight nose bump. Fairly full muzzle and squareness. Long body again with excellent weight and as previously stated lovely long tail with full furnishings. Long legs with nice boning and round paws.
