SOUTHERN COUNTIES CAT CLUB 30 January 2010 Judge: Perri Hutchison

I would like to thank Brenda, Sue & the Committee for the kind invitation to judge at this friendly well run show with a good entry. Many thanks to my steward Gareth Dew, looking great for 2010 – he had lost loads of weight – congrats to him and Cath for doing so well! He handled the cats with great care, kept an eye on my paperwork and as usual was great company. Thanks Gareth, I look forward to the next time.

Asian (Tiffanie) kitten

1 & BOB JAMES’ INYANGA LAIRDOF FILANDRE 68 43dsq M (31.08.09)

Red silver shaded tiffanie with burmese colour restriction. What a fabulous start to my day! Confident, cute little chap with super expression and who purred and cuddled under my chin – I could have just gone home with him in my pocket! Rounded top. Nice size ears well set with correct forward tilt. Short wide wedge, blunt muzzle. Eyes are expressive, set well apart, top lid slanting towards his nose, fuller, rounder lower lid, still changing in colour. Rounded brow. Excellent nose break. Straight nose, slightly receding chin, bite just level. Muscular young man of good weight. Slender legs and oval paws. Tail has rounded tip, just balances, plume still kittenish and needs to develop. Coat is of medium length and lies flat and close to his body, though is a fraction woolly over his haunches. Super ear tufts and ruff developing nicely. Very pale light tangerine markings around his face, on feet, and along spine line. Was extremely difficult to tell if he had a silver basecoat. The hall lighting was very yellow and there was no daylight lamp available. I did carry the little chap out to the results board area, where there was some natural light coming in, and it did make his coat look much better. Happy, purring little chap with stunning type. Will watch his progress with great interest.

2nd – 1st & BOB Withheld LYON’S ADNIOSH BELGARATH 41r M (1.8.9)

6 month old fawn classic tabby. Very small and lightweight for his age and out of condition. This little chap had a sneezing fit just before we took him out for judging and a runny eye, so the duty vet was called. He couldn’t find any glands up or a temperature, so I continued judging him.

Small muzzle pinch present. oriental shaped eyes slanting towards his nose, pale green in colour. In profile straight nose, firm chin, level bite.

There is a correct line running down his spine clearly separated by groundcolour stripes either side. Coat is open and still kittenish. Colour again lacking rosy warm mushroom, very cold toned, though it is sound to the roots. Sweet purring chap. This poor little fellow then had a bout of diarrhoea and had to be withdrawn by the duty vet. I hope he recovers quickly.
