TABBY POINT SIAMESE & PROGRESSIVE BREEDERS CAT CLUB

September 29 ^th 2007

John S Harrison

It is many years since I last judged for this Club and so it was a pleasure to return once again, my thanks to Harry and Liz and the committee for inviting me. The hall was a little cramped but natural lighting and easy access to clear daylight at the windows was much appreciated. I am most grateful to Cathy Baxter for stewarding for me, Cathy handled the cats well and was good company.

Oriental Imperial Female
1 IGC n/a Moss' GR CH MYDAMYST IVGOTYOUBABE 37a 30/04/04
A very stylish exhibit. Ears of very good size and shape, correctly set. Top of head overall too flat and showing defined skull depression. Good muzzle shape with very good lines to wedge. Correct bite with good chin line. Good length body of pleasing Oriental type with very dainty legs and paws. Tail of good length and taper. Coat very short and close lying, very good texture. Unfortunately the coat is very unsound with a clearly brindled undercoat to the sides, and the hairs around the neck, throat and ears having white roots extending half way up the hairs. Excellent condition and temperament.

Oriental Longhair Female
1 CC & BoB Smith's CH MYLYNN MISHKA 62 43s 26/05/06
A very stylish and attractive lady of overall excellence. Excellent balanced head. Ears of very good size and shape, and excellent set. Excellent top of head. Excellent profile. Correct bite, good firm chin. Very good muzzle shape, excellent lines to wedge. Excellent eye shape, size and set; colour rather mustard but in clear daylight at the window it was decidedly green. Very dainty elegant body of correct Oriental type. Coat of very good length and excellent texture, one did not have to look at this lady's tail to confirm she is an OLH. Coat showing excellent clear shading on a very bright and clear silver ground with no indication of tarnishing. A delightful exhibit shown in superb condition, and what a friendly lady! Well deserving the CC and BoB.

2 Ellis' MYLYNN MAI LING 62 21 09/12/06
Head of overall good type. Ears of very good size and set. Good top of head. Good profile. Eyes of good size and set but rather full and rather too orange in colour. Body of good length but rather heavy in build, legs and paws rather heavy. Tail needing more taper. Coat very dense and of good texture, but lacking the required length - at first glance she appeared to be an OSH with a rather open coat. Very good colour and sound to roots.

Tabby Point Male Kitten
Wrong colour: Hainsworth's BILLSTES RED SENSATION 32/5 9/04/07
I was very disappointed that I could not place this very stylish kitten of overall excellent type. Large ears of very good shape and excellent set. Very good top of head. Excellent even profile, correct bite and strong chin. Bright blue eyes of good depth, very well set and excellent shape. Long firm body of excellent type. Long slender legs, very neat paws. Tail of good length and taper. Short close lying coat of pleasing texture. Unfortunately he is not red but rather a Cream as was clearly evidenced in his fully coloured ears. A great pity I was unable to place him. A very attractive kitten shown in excellent condition, very good natured lad.

1 & BoB Baughan's MAPU MALACHITE 32/8 18/06/07
At 14 weeks of age this little chap was very bold and seemed to enjoy the attention! Large ears of very good shape, very well set with excellent top of head. Very good profile overall showing a slight 'kitten dip' behind the brow. Correct bite and good chin line. Eyes of good size and shape, just a little too horizontal in set, excellent colour. Body of good length and type. Tail rather short and thick needing more taper. Excellent coat length and texture. Very good colour to ears showing defined thumbprints, good tracings showing on immature mask, legs and tail showing feint markings. A very promising and nice natured little lad well deserving of the BoB.

Tabby Point Female Kitten

Red Point Siamese Kitten
1 BoB n/a Abbott's EPITOME CHENAZZ LADYINRED 32a 09/05/07
Ears of good size and shape, fairly well set but carried upright. Very good even profile. Good bite. Firm chin. Eyes rather small, narrow and very pale in colour. Fair muzzle and lines to wedge. Body of good length, balanced legs, neat feet. Tail short and lacking sufficient taper. Coat of good length but very open. Fair points colour. Unfortunately this lass had a grubby muzzle and paws and would have benefited from some show preparation.

Oriental Cream or Apricot Neuter
1 PC & BoB Smith's GR PR MOUSTACHES FENTON FAUVE 37fn 22/06/99
What a grand old chap, he really did seem to be enjoying his day out. Ears of good shape, well set but rather small for balance. Eyes of good shape, correct set, excellent green colour. Good profile. Correct bite, though teeth just a little uneven BUT how many Orientals at 8 years old have a full set of pearly white teeth and healthy pink gums? Excellent length body just a little overweight. Legs heavy. Coat of good length and texture and of excellent apricot colour, sound to the roots, very even and showing no markings. A delightful chap with a superb temperament, he must be a delight to live with!

Oriental Bicolour Assessment
Merit : Bennett's ADAJAN SAYNT GEORGE 48 38d 23/04/07
A kitten of overall excellent type, and what a very attractive little chap! Head of very good shape and balance. Large ears of very good shape and set with very good width between. Good even profile. Muzzle showing slight pinch. Correct bite and good chin. Eyes of very good size, shape and set and excellent colour. Excellent length body, firm and slim. Legs of good length but he needs to grow into his feet! Tail lacking sufficient length and taper. Sleek close lying coat of very good length and excellent texture, though coat on tail was rather fluffy. Very well marked overall with more than 1/3 white; fairly good demarcation between colour and white. Good red colour showing good spotted pattern. Excellent condition and temperament.

Merit : Read's ADAJAN VOODOO DOLL 48e 23/04/07
Another very attractive kitten, sister to the above, of very similar type, just lacking a little in confidence. Well balanced head of very good overall type. Ears of very good size, shape and set with excellent top of head. Excellent profile. Good chin line. Muzzle showing distinct pinch. Eyes of excellent size and set but rather full, very good green colour. Long slender body of excellent type. Long slender legs with very neat paws. Tail of good length but lacking sufficient taper. Coat a little long, excellent texture and close lying. A good degree of white. Black patches dense and sound to the roots, red patches excellent colour and sound. Fair demarcation, but some scattered white hairs in margins. A rather timid little soul, but what a delightful lass. Excellent condition and temperament.

No Merit : May's FIROUSI FIREFROST 48d 23/08/06
A well grown cat of overall pleasing type but lacking the required minimum of 1/3 white. Head of overall good type and balance. Ears of fairly good size and shape, well set. Good even profile, chin rather shallow. Muzzle showing pinch. Eyes of good shape and set, fairly good green colour. Body of good length but rather well fed and lacking elegance. Long balanced legs. Tail of fair length but lacking sufficient taper. Close lying coat of very good length and texture. Very good rich red markings showing clean and distinct demarcation with white. This cat conformed well with the SoP in all other respects but unfortunately does not satisfy the required minimum of 1/3 white and this was the only reason for not awarding the Merit. This slightly chubby lad had a delightful temperament.

No Merit : Ralph's FIROUSI FU-MANCHU 48 40 01/01/07
A cat of overall pleasing type but unfortunately his haws were unacceptably visible. Ears of fair shape and size, held rather low. Skull rather flat resulting in an angular profile. Muzzle rather square spoiling lines to wedge. Correct bite, chin lacking depth. Eyes of very good shape and set, good clear blue, but unfortunately the haws were very raised and covering a large part of the eyes which is a withholding fault. Body of very good length and fine Oriental type. Long well balanced legs with very neat feet. Tail of fair length but lacking sufficient taper. Coat of fair , fairly close lying, but rather long. Bare patches around an obviously well chewed neck clearly do not enhance his chances. A well marked chap with a good degree of white with fairly clear margins. Good seal points colour. Excellent temperament.

No Merit : Smith's FIROUSI FORYOUREYESONLY 48 40f 29/04/07
A very attractive little chap but showing very little evidence of white. Head of overall pleasing type though just a little short for balance … but he's plenty of time to grow! Ears of very good size, shape and set. Excellent top of head. Excellent profile. Correct bite and good chin line. Excellent lines to wedge. Eyes of very good shape, set a little horizontal, very good blue colour. Body of very good length and slender Oriental type, good length legs, tail of fair length but lacking sufficient taper. Coat of fairly good length and texture though just a little open. Points colour very hot for a cream and showing clear indication of being Apricot. Unfortunately it is often difficult to see colour on the legs of red series pointed kittens of this age, let alone seeing white!! Even with the advantage of perfect natural daylight it was nigh impossible to see any difference in colour and the only visible white was a small flash on the forehead. There is an obvious indication of cream/apricot colouring on one front and one rear foot, and all four legs appeared to have a cream flush and I therefore had to assume in the absence of any indication to the contrary that he has, in all likelihood, insufficient white markings. A delightful youngster showing great promise in all other respect. This sweet natured lad thoroughly enjoyed the attention, but really was a judges nightmare! I hope that as his colour develops I am proved to be wrong and he does in fact have adequate white markings; but I had to assess what I could see on the day.

No Merit : Whiston's LEBRETON CHEYENNE PLAINS 48 40 06/07/06
A very attractive cat of overall very pleasing type but unfortunately he does not satisfy the minimum requirement of 1/3 white. Strong well balanced head . Ears large and well set with good width between. Skull a little flat giving an angular profile. Correct bite, Strong chin. Good length wedge with straight lines. Eyes of very good shape and set, excellent blue colour. Body of excellent length and type with long well balanced legs, tail of good length and taper. Obviously this lad really enjoys his food!! Coat short, close lying and of excellent texture. Insufficient white, unfortunately a white tummy and feet did not amount to the required minimum. A lovely chap with an excellent temperament and a lot going for him but the SoP is specific about the amount of white.
