Eastern Counties C.C. - 4 August 2007
My thanks to Audrey and the show committee for the invitation to judge, and for the excellent lunch. It was a pity that there were so many cats absent. Thanks to Rosie for stewarding for me, with her customary expertise and care for the exhibits.
Open Classes
Apricot Point Neuter
1+IC+BOB Aggett's AMYDAY SOLAR LIGHT MN 21 Aug 06
An elegant lad of very good type and sufficient maturity for his age. Long even wedge, good width at the top, large ears held a fraction low. Tiny dip in profile, very deep chin but the line from nose to chin a little off the vertical, bite level. Eyes of good shape, set slightly straight, of a good depth of blue. Long well fed body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points a good warm apricot with a clear brownish overcast to the tail and hocks, mask and ears could be warmer but still show the overcast. Body lightly shaded along the back, coat a fraction long of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
Miscellaneous Classes
Oriental Breeders Adult, Female
1 Beck's TEGATCO CINNAGAEA (37m) 29 Oct 06
Quite a mature looking girl for one just adult, of good type. Longish even wedge needing a little more width at the top, large ears set in line. Small dip in profile, chin ebbs rather, bite scissored over. Eyes of good basic shape though she did open them rather wide while out of the pen, of a clear pale green. Long slender body, the manubrium slightly prominent, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail with a slightly large last vertebra. Colour a slightly dark warm cinnamon almost sound to the roots, mostly well mingled with shades of red and plenty of warm red in the mixture, rather solid over the back of the head and neck and showing faint ghost markings there, clear tabby markings on the back legs but only in the red parts. Close coat of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
Siamese/Balinese Titled Adult
1 Bauerfeind's CH SHIMILEETA ALWAYSONMYMIND (32/1) F 6 Aug 05
A girl of good type. Longish wedge with a small pinch, good width at the top, well set large ears. Profile almost straight, chin firm but needs more depth, bite level though with few incisors. Eyes of very good shape and set, though she did widen them when out of the pen, I should prefer a slightly deeper shade of blue. Long firm body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch to balance. Marked in a darkish warm seal: good "M", thumbprints and single ribbon, faint leg bars, tail half covered in rather blurred rings. Lightly shaded body, coat of good length and texture. Timid but handled reasonably well, excellent presentation.
2 Simpson's CH TIKINDI BY DESIGN (24a) F 30 May 04
Girl of good type looking rather immature. Long wedge, muzzle fine and a little overlong, good width at the top, well set large ears. Forehead flat, very firm chin, level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set, of a good depth of blue. Long slender body, long legs with neat paws, very long stringy tail. Points a dark blue, lightly shaded body, cool-toned under the shading, coat of good length and texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

A handsome mature-looking lad of very good type. Medium length even wedge with jowls starting to form, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, chin firm but a little shallow, bite level. Eyes of very good shape and set and a good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction to balance and with a small irregularity at the tip. Marked in a slightly dark warm chocolate: clear "M", thumbprints, single ribbon, faint leg bars, tail two thirds ringed. Shading spreading over the back of the head, the body very lightly shaded and a good warm ivory in colour. Coat of good length a little harsh in texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Well set eyes of good basic shape though a little full needing a little more depth of blue. Long strong body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch to balance. Reasonably well marked in a warm seal: fair "M", thumbprints and single ribbon, very faint leg bars, tail half ringed but the rings rather indistinct.
