My thanks to Margaret Walkden and committee for inviting me to Judge at the show. Many thanks to Mark for stewarding for me in his usual inimitable manner. We were able to combine the show with a short holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Scotland.

NORWEIGAN FOREST CAT

Adult Female

1 CC & BoB N/A Luff’s VIEUXTEMPS MIELIKKI. 67/20g. 05-08-99
An attractive young female, but she is too small and finely built. Ears of good size and shape, correctly set when relaxed. Head rather too broad for balance. Fair profile overall, though on close examination it shows three changes of direction. Excellent coat length and texture. Very attractive colouring. She really does have a superb temperament

2 Docherty’s ELFENTANZ BJOERNA. 67/15. 05/08/99.
Head overall too broad for length. Ears of good shape but unfortunately set too wide apart and carried rather low. Fair profile, more angular than I like in this breed. Eyes good shape and set. A rather small cat though of overall good body type and length, with good height to legs - she just needs more size. Well balanced tail. Coat of very good texture and length. Excellent black colour.

Well defined cheeks, good muzzle, good firm chin. Eyes of good shape and set. Very good body type, but lacking sufficient size. Coat of good length and texture. Good points and body colour.

Cheeks fairly well developed, but length of nose spoils muzzle. Excellent strongly built body of good size. Excellent coat length and texture. Good points colour, body a little dark.

Nose of correct length, pleasing muzzle shape. Excellent cheeks. Eyes of good shape and set and excellent clear blue colour. Body of good type, but too small. Tail short for balance.

Female Adult

1 IC & BoB Ray's MAGNACATA MORGAINE LEFAYE. 68/45e 30/06/99

Very good profile. Eyes of good set, just a trifle full. Very good muzzle. Excellent body type. Excellent coat length and texture. Excellent colour and pattern.

ORIENTAL SHORTHAIR

A pleasing Havana. Ears of very good size and correct setting. Very good profile. Excellent lines to wedge. Firm chin. Eyes of good shape and set, good colour. Excellent body type. Dainty legs, well balanced tail. Short coat of excellent texture. Lovely warm even colour, but not quite sound. A fine example of the breed and so I overlooked a little unsoundness.

Foreign White Adult Female

1 CC & BoB Janczyjk & McFarlane’s CH. STRAMASH WINTER BELLE. 35. 08-12-98
What can I say about this delightful lady other than she made my day. She has all the attributes I look for - with no sign of any exaggeration. This cat has perfect Oriental type. Head of overall excellence. Ears of excellent size, shape and set. Excellent profile with superb top of head. Eyes of excellent shape and set and of that seldom seen clear brilliant royal blue. Excellent wedge. Excellent Oriental body of type. Elegant legs. Tail a little short for balance ( but then no cat is perfect!!) Excellent short coat of wonderful texture. Excellent clear white colour. Excellent condition and temperament. There are indeed very few cats of this quality on the showbench - I think she is absolutely stunning! Few breeders are fortunate to have owned and bred such a delightful cat.

Havana Male Kitten

1 & BoB Hamilton's TRELGANDORF TOUCHWOOD 09/11/99
A very pleasing young chap of overall excellent quality. Ears of very good size and shape, correctly set. Excellent profile overall, though just a little flatter on top than I like. Excellent eye shape and set, very good colour. Excellent body length and type. Well balanced legs and tail. Coat of very good length and excellent texture. Excellent rich colour, and very even - unfortunately it is very unsound, hence the fact that I withheld the BoB.

Ears of good shape and set. Profile very uneven. Muzzle showing severe pinch and lacking substance under the eyes. Bite under-shot. Eyes of fair shape and set, very pale in colour. Good body type.
