LINCOLNSHIRE CAT CLUB SHOW - 10 JULY 2010 MRS CELIA DE MARTINO

My thanks to Beryl Rawnsley and the committee for their kind invitation to judge at their first back to back show with the Humberside cat club. It was a successful day. My thanks to John Blore who travelled up north especially to steward for me. He handles the cats expertly and as always we had a good day and some lovely cats .

AOC SELF COLOURPOINT ADULT

1 & BOB HUNTER’S CH ELLSKITZ CRASADER

A red point lad just over 2 years old. Excellent width between well placed furnished ears, short nose with stop, full cheeks, good bite and firm chin, muzzle slightly pinched. Cobby rounded frame, short sturdy legs and medium length tail in proportion to body. Could do with more weight but us probably a working boy. Excellent red to mask and tail would prefer a deeper shade of red to legs. Well prepared soft silky clear coat of pale ivory Excellent condition, a bit tetchy today.

TORTOISESHELL COLOURPOINT ADULT

1 & CC WITHELD 2 MARNO’S showing OWLETTS QUARTZ

in catalogue but in fact Catarosa Dolly Mixture A lovely natured seal tortie lass with soft silky well groomed coat. of medium length. Good width between well placed furnished ears, nose with stop but would prefer shorter for balance, needs fuller cheeks, good bite, firm chin and muzzle pinched. Round pale blue eyes, well placed. Cobby rounded frame, short sturdy legs and medium length tail in proportion to body. Coat showing shades of seal and red but no real contrast between coat points, mask and tail. No definite mask and tail does not contrast with body colour. In a colour point cat there should be a good contrast between the points and body colour which this girl did not have. This combined with lack of type was my reason for withholding. Excellent temperament and condition.
