YORKSHIRE COUNTY CAT CLUB SHOW – 23.10.10 Mrs Sally Tokens

I would like to thank Lynda, Elaine and the team for asking me back to judge at the Yorks. I had some wonderful cats and heard decisions to make. The lunch was excellent as is usual for this club. My steward was John Blore and I thank him for travelling to Doncaster especially to steward for me.

Deep copper eye colour to large rounded eyes. Long full coat of a good red with the odd ghost tabby marking to the legs. Sound and even to the roots and well groomed. Short full brush.

BI COLOUR ADULT;

red and white lad of seventeen months old. Wonderful expression and very well balanced type. Strong bone and lovely substance. Skull well formed. Ears small in size and well positioned. Cheeks of a good width. Short broad nose with a good break and large leather and nostrils. Level bite. Coat long and full and beautifully groomed. Full white collar and white over the back and also over the base of the tail. Rich red and gleaming white. Tail fully coloured and balances with the body.

AC TABBY, SMOKE, CAMEO & WHITE ADULT;

1 CC Brittleton LADYGEM TUDOR ROSE

brown tabby and white of fifteen months old. A very pretty female with beautifully balanced type and a superb coat. Colour to the back right limb. White chevron to the face. White to the paws, chest and tummy. Excellent warm copper agouti ground colour to the back with very good black markings. Coat soft, long and full and groomed down to the last hair, with a wonderful gloss. Ears well set just a touch open at the base. Cheeks full and round. Bold eyes of a very good copper. Short broad nose and a level bite. Butterfly marking to the shoulders. Tail with the odd ring and well furnished.

brown tabby and white with colour to the front right limb and also the back left. Colour above the eyes and up to the ears with the right hand side patch being larger.

BI COLOURED KITTEN;

BOB withheld 1 Ellis SOROLYA DA VINCI

blue and white of just over three months old. Two blue patches to the head. Solid white right limbs. Two or three patches of colour to the back. Fully coloured tail. Some staining to the face. Well positioned ears just a little open at the base. Large rounded eyes of a very good copper colour. Short broad nose. Nice width to the cheeks developing. Skull well formed for his age. At present he has a misaligned canine which is causing the bite to be off centre and taking this into consideration along with the staining I felt I could not award the best of breed. Lovely blue patching.

seal tortie of just over two years old. Super bone and weight. Medium sized ears which are well set. Nice width to full cheeks and the muzzle is well formed.

Tail well furnished and reaching the shoulders.

seal tortie girl of thirteen months old and quite the extreme to the winner, being very much more red than seal, with her red strong in colour and the seal a little pale.

Profile showing a very shallow dip. Level bite. Gloves symmetrically marked. Left sock a touch higher. Gauntlets broad and even.

RED, CREAM OR TORTIE BIRMAN KITTEN MALE;

1 & BOB Newcombe DALTEEMA ROBRED
