I was called into judge due to the indisposition of Mrs Jean Gamble who I hope is now making a good recovery: I hope exhibitors were not too disappointed. My thanks to Mark as usual for stewarding for me.

Oriental Cinnamon Kitten
1 & BoB Picton's GENTANTIQUE ALDRYN 18/12/2006
A kitten of average type. Head fairly good shape and type overall. Ears of good size but set rather too high on the head. Skull rather flat resulting in a rather angular profile. Muzzle showing teething pinch, correct bite and firm chin. Eyes of correct shape but rather full. Body of medium type and fairly good length. Tail rather short for balance. Coat of fairly good length, good texture and of a good even colour, lacking just a little in soundness on the flanks. A sweet natured chap shown in good condition, just a little overawed by the day. I did give serious consideration to the award of BoB but felt that he just about made the grade. He is one of those kittens who could develop into a stunner, or be just plain ordinary.

Oriental Lilac Neuter
1 PC & BoB Lord's PR TENAJ PINK PANTHER 21/09/2005
Head of good overall type. Ears of good size, fairly well set, but held rather upright on occasion. Skull rather flat making the profile just a little too angular overall. Muzzle showing noticeable pinch. Eyes good set, rather full, good colour. Excellent body type, with very good length and balanced legs and tail. Excellent coat length and texture. Colour appeared very dark and not quite what I expect in a Lilac, but in the absence of daylight I had to let this pass. Despite my concern over the colour the coat was even and totally sound right down to the roots. A delightful chap shown in excellent condition.

Caramel Point Kitten
1 BoB n/a Green's BELROO ELKIEB 03/02/2007
A kitten of overall pleasing type. Ears large and well set with very good width between. Very good profile overall, just a little uneven at present with slight depression at the brow, but otherwise following a pleasing line. Good lines to wedge. Chin slopes off a little, correct bite. Eyes rather small, deep set and too straight in set, this combined with heavily tufted 'hooded' eyebrows rather spoiled the overall appearance of the kitten. Excellent blue eye colour. Very good length neck and excellent length of body. Good length to legs, with rather large feet at present. Tail fairly well tapered but a little short for balance. Short close lying coat of excellent texture. Points very good colour, tail showing rather heavy ghosting. A delightful kitten of overall very pleasing type, such a pity about his eyes - which of course was the reason I did not award the BoB.

Tortie Point Kitten
1 & BoB Cassar Simmonds STENIC CIELO MACCHIATO 32b2 28/11/2006 A delightful kitten of overall pleasing type. Large ears of very good shape and set with excellent width between. Excellent top of head. Excellent profile. Very good lines to wedge with just the slightest muzzle pinch. Correct bite, chin slopes off a little. Eyes of very good size, shape and set, pleasing blue colour. Body of very good length and showing elegant type; long slender legs with very neat paws; long well tapered tail to balance. Short close lying coat of correct texture. Points colour very well mingled overall with broken paws and thin cream blaze on face. A very attractive kitten of good type, well worthy of the BoB.
