SCOTTISH CAT CLUB SHOW REPORT 14 FEBRUARY 2009
JUDGES REPORT MS JANE ALLENMany thanks to everyone for my invitation to judge this year. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I was very lucky to have Marlene Laird and Eileen Hillis as stewards for the day, a brilliant team and I thank them so much for their devoted hard work and the marked catalogue at the end of the day.
AC PERSIAN SELF CHAMPION MALE
GR CC STEWARTS GR CH LAZANE ON CLOUD NINE 2aI have judged this lovely boy on many occasions and I was pleased to give him a further award today. He is a very lovely boy always turned out to perfection.
2 NIVENS CH DOLINA XCALIBAR 70 15Sorry to withhold the reserve on this boy but he really was not in show condition on the day. He was rather lightweight and his coat was thick and very claggy. Coupled with that he was rather too undershot for my liking.
BROWN OR BLUE TABBY INC BI COLOUR MAINE COON ADULT MALE
1 CC WILSONS JULESCOON TOTO 64 41Only just a year old and with some considerable maturing to do, however I considered that he was well worthy of the CC on the day. Nicely set large ears with very nice tufts and tips. I do hope that as he matures he develops further width to balance the length of his head. Very shallow concave curve to his profile with quite a good perpendicular line to his adequate depth of chin. Quite a nice squareness to his face. Long body with sturdy long legs, powerful paws with super tufts. Long tapering tail that was well furnished. Very clear classic tabby patterning with nice warm tone. Well shown apart from his tail that was showing signs of stud tail.
BOB CAMPBELLS GR CH DOTCOM LESTER 64 41wVery mature impressive head type on this male, and he is only 1 year 8 months. Super expression.
BROWN OR BLUE TABBY INC BI COLOUR MAINE COON ADULT FEMALE
1 CC W/H CHAPMANS CHERRYBLOSSOM STARBURST 64 41gwI was sorry to withhold on this young female but she was still quite small and I did not feel that she had the head type required. Her head shape was rather triangular without any squareness to her muzzle. Her profile was almost straight and her eyes were not the desired shape or set for a Maine Coon. She was slightly nervous to handle.
NORWEGIAN FOREST KITTEN MALE
1 BOB BARTONS NORGESKAUKATT SKVALASSON 67 14c 27.6.08Green eyed white A very attractive well developed young man with a real presence about him! Very nice triangular head shaped slightly isosceles at present, with nice width to the top of his head and quite large ears placed well apart high on his head. Showing very nice furnishings as well. Virtually straight profile with a lovely straight line from his nose to forehead. Large, expressive oval eyes that he used to his best advantage! Nice depth of chin balancing his head completely. Very well built, substantial body with deep chest. Long body and very nice length to his bushy tail. Nicely boned long limbs with tufted paws. Standing slightly higher on his back legs. Very nice coat developing, with thick, dense under coat and that coarser feeling coming down his back. Very well show pure white coat with a small black fleck on his forehead. Very self assured and with a real elegance about him.
NORWEGIAN FOREST KITTEN FEMALE
1 HENDERSONS NORGESKAUKATT SKVALAJENTI 67 14c 5.7.08Green eyed white Attractive young lady with very similar features to her half brother! This young lady had a slightly shorter head shape than the male. Again quite large ears that were well set and wide at the base. Large, oval eyes that she opened very well when we handled her! Virtually straight profile, her chin just a shade shallow for total facial balance. Long body and tail with very nice boning to her long limbs, again standing higher on her hind limbs. Round, tufted paws. Her coat was also well shown and with the black fleck between her ears but not so well developed as far as her undercoat was concerned.
2 FORBES WEESAMS TORTIERIN 67 31et 23.6.08Tortie tabby and white Very nicely grown female but not as well balanced facially as yet. Rather a shorter head shape but with nicely placed quite large ears. Quite a straight profile but sadly her chin was very weak that detracted from her balance and made her look a little oriental in head type. Nice size eyes but they were rather round in shape, may have been down to nerves on the day! Smaller in frame that the other kittens and slightly shorter in the body length and a shorter tail. Quite long legs with round tufted paws. Her coat was very thick and dense but as yet not showing any top coat development. Well shown and a sweet nature.
AV PERSIAN /SLH DEBUTANTE ADULT
1 MALCOLMSONS HADFIELDS TEXUS HOLDUM 70 8A very impressive young man of 10 months. Very pleasing head type and balance with small well set ears. Round skull with large, round eyes. Short nose with good break and full round cheeks surrounding. Nice bite and firm chin. Quite a small frame as yet but very cobby and nice weight. Short, stocky legs and a wee short rounded tail. Spotted tabby patterning with a lovely thick upstanding coat texture. Well shown and a very confident young man.
2 FORBES WEESAMS TIBBY 67 31t 6.3.08Very pleasing elegant young lady, with very nice head type. Triangular shaped head with large open ears well placed on her head. Large expressive eyes that were obliquely set and well opened. Straight profile with a slightly shallow chin which detracted from full facial balance. Long elegant frame with quite good boning to her legs. Round, tufted snowshoes. Her tail just about reached to her shoulders! Nicely shown and in full coat with a full ruff and nice knickerbockers. Double coat with a thick undercoat overlaid by a glossy slightly harsh top coat.

3 PATONS LAFREBELLA JEEPERS 1
AC PERSIAN VISITORS KITTEN
2 MACGREGORS BRUICHLADDICH GUCCI 70 8gSorry to withhold on this kitten but I did not think her face to be completely straight, her nose being slightly to oneside.
AV SLH 14 WEEKS – 6 MONTHS KITTEN
1 BLACKS LIZZARA MOONBEAM 13c6A very sweet kitten of promising type. Head quite broad, with medium length nose and a slight dip in profile. Quite full cheeks and nice chin developing. Medium size ears well placed on her skull. Super eyes with a very promising deep blue I would have liked them to be a little larger in size. Medium length body with nice depth and substance. Thick set medium length legs. Round short paws. Medium length tail. Very nice silky coat texture. Her gloves dipped slightly to the inner side but were to the line across the paw. Her back gloves covered the entire paw, her gauntlets reaching half way up the hock and were slightly blunt rather than tapering. Very well shown and handled very nicely.
2 DAVIDSONS LIONMAINE BEARFACE BRIAN 64 41swA very stylish kitten with considerable style. Very promising development with nice head balance, large, well spaced ears. Expressive large slightly obliquely set eyes. Shallow concave curve in profile. Firm chin. Unfortunately at the moment he is a little undershot, I can but hope this is a developmental issue that resolves itself when he teeths. Super frame and body with long tail. Very well shown.
AV SLH 6 – 9 MONTHS KITTEN A
1 POOLS DALTEEMA STARDUST 13c6I thought this young lady was really striking. Very attractive kitten with very nicely balanced head, with good breadth to skull and nicely rounded muzzle. Medium sized ears that were nicely spaced apart. Expressive eyes almost round in shape and the most lovely deep blue in colour. Medium length nose with slight dip in profile. Adequate chin to balance. Medium body that was of nice weight and medium length legs. Bushy tail balancing the body length nicely. Her gloves were very well marked, her back socks were fully coloured to cover the back paw and her gauntlets extended to half way up her back leg and slightly tapering. Very well shown and such a lovely girl to handle.
2 GREGSONS DRAGONMAINE SHRUIKAN 64 41aVery well grown lad with nicely developing head type. Large, high set ears with nice width between. Promising balance of width to length balance. Expressive eyes that were large and well open and slightly obliquely set. Shallow concave curve to profile and promising squareness to the muzzle. I do hope that his chin continues to develop just a little more to give the final bit of balance to his head. Promising frame, long and well filled with super boning to his legs. Long, well furnished tail. Very well shown.

2 WISEMANS TRAPPISTINI SHANAWN 64 44d Rather a nervous exhibit who overall had a slightly finer head type and lacked a little on the squareness of his muzzle. Long body and quite a long tail and again well shown.

1 NIVENS CH NOREXOTIKATTS CASPERCAROT 70 19A pleasing exhibit with very nice head and type. Round copper eyes. Short nose, full cheeks and firm chin. Quite a cobby frame with short tail and legs. Thick dense coat that could have been slightly better groomed to do him total justice.

Large eyes that were very well opened and slightly obliquely set. Virtually straight profile with adequate chin to balance her head.

AV PERSIAN/SLH GRAND CHAMPION OR IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION
1 MILLICANS GR CH CULLYKHAN BOBBI SOX 12a7I am totally in awe of this really lovely female, she has the most wonderful bone and conformation coupled with super head type and very bold eyes. Her coat was groomed to perfection and the cream pale and sound, I do not think I have seen better coat colouring for some considerable time. Congratulations to her devoted owner/breeder on such a wonderful cat.
