Many thanks to Shelagh and Kit for and committee for very kind invitation to this relaxed Show; my steward was Sarah Ruse; her first stewarding engagement but you’d never have guessed – she handled the cats beautifully even the feisty ones and kept all the paperwork in order. Good company too, thanks for a lovely day Sarah!

Lagre hazel eyes well set with plenty of width between. Thick neck leading to solid chunky body, deep chest and straight broad back; substantial legs and round heavy paws.

CHOCOLATE ADULT

1 (CC W/H) HOLLANDT’S CATBALU TEENAGE RAMPAGE (15b) M 25.5.04

Round expressive eyes of sound deep gold, thick neck leading to weighty square solid body; plenty of depth to the chest and a broad straight back, thick heavy legs and round paws; unfortunately very unsound, even for a chocolate such a shame because he has super type.

RED ADULT

1 (IC W/H) LOCKETT’S MIKAZEL PEPPERMINT PATTI (15d) F 25.4.09

What a little poppet – you could hear her purr across the room! Very young and it does show with a slightly small head in proportion to her body and a typical lanky adolescent body; the bone is there though so time should make a great difference. Short dense coat but a bit soft; I do have a weaknesss for the reds and try to be generous but I'm afraid the spotting was just too pronounced today; perhaps it will clear as she matures. But never mind – she has the most delightful temperament and is an absolute sweetie

Large bold eyes but sadly shOwing a green ring round the pupils. Thick neck leading to strong weighty body; deep chested and with a strong straight back, thick low legs and a blunt rounded tail.
