LINCOLNSHIRE CAT CLUB SHOW – 10th July 2010 Judge: Susan Newman

Thank you very much, Beryl and your team, for the invitation to judge at this busy show and for your hospitality. It will be interesting to see if you have set the trend for the future, running two all-breed shows together. It worked really well and I had some lovely cats to judge. My steward was Jane Riley and we had a most enjoyable day together. Thank you, Jayne.

CREAM ADULT

BOB KINGWELL’S GR CH LORASTON GRETA GARBO (17) 17.04.07 Female.

Considered for, and awarded, Best of Breed only. Round head with medium ears. Copper eyes. Short nose. Level bite and firm chin. Cobby and well balanced, standing on thick legs with round paws. Tail of correct length and shape. Coat is short and dense but a little soft. It is mainly cool cream, just about sound to the roots. Her tail is a hotter cream and still has ghost rings.

BI-COLOURED NEUTER

1 PC & BOB MOORE’S GR CH VALPETINA APACHE BYDESIGN (31a) 01.08.06 Male Neuter Blue & White.

A lovely boy but he was not very happy. Big round head with large ears set wide apart on the flat top. Broad, straight nose. Level bite, firm chin, rounded muzzle. Full cheeks. Deep gold eyes. Broad, deep chest to his heavy, cobby body. Short legs, round paws, correct tail for length and shape. Super coat texture - dense, very short and very crisp. Correct ratio of white to colour, the colour being a dark shade of blue and sound to the roots. White nose blaze, almost complete collar. The coloured patches are well defined and fairly symmetrical. Fully coloured tail.

2 PIPER’S BETHELLA BUTTONS (31f) 10.06.09 Male Neuter Cream & White.

Friendly cat with a round head carrying medium ears. Level bite, firm chin, rounded muzzle. Cheeks need to fill. Round copper eyes. Standing a little tall but quite well balanced overall. His coat is short and dense but rather soft. There is just about one-third white, two thirds hot cream. He has a white nose blaze, chest and paws. Tail is fully coloured.
