1 PRESTON & BLACKPOOL CAT CLUB 24 th March BruceBennett Congratulations to Judith Mercer for piloting this Show home so successfully. It was a most enjoyable event, and many thanks to the Club for their invitation. I enjoyed the company of Kristina Mullineaux very much; very new to stewarding she proved a most efficient and congenial companion and I look forward to working with her in the future. AV ORIENTAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE. 1. (Imp GR CC Withheld). CHIVERS GR CH DEDANNAN TREASUREME. M. (37n) 2yrs 9mths. Lovely big strong lad with a short wedge head, tiny pinch, ears set well, would prefer them a little larger to balance, nice oriental, inclined eyes of good shape, olive in shade. Profile shows a slight slope brow to muzzle, chin rounding off, bite meets, beginning to show masculine jowls. Excellent lengthy strong body with matching limbs, tail could be a little longer for balance. Very good close sound coat of typical, even, sludgy caramel. I have always liked him a great deal, but at this dizzy altitude he lacks the ultimate style and polish. AV SIAMESE/BALINESE GRAND PREMIER FEMALE. 1. (Imp GR CC Withheld). WEATHERILL S GR PR BURNTHWAITES GOOD-TIME- GAL. FN. (32b1) 1yr 7mths. Most pleasing gal, with a sharply pointed, equilateral head, slight pinch evident. Large ears, well flared in line, excellent oriental shape and incline to her eyes of a good blue shade. Profile shows a shallow angle at the brow below a flat forehead, then straight to the nose leather; chin is quite shallow, though sufficiently forward, incisors meet scissored over. Body long and lithe, limbs to match, tail just reaches shoulders. Coat a little long and slightly open, seal points well broken by various reds, some tortie body shading but sufficient contrast. Attractive, but not yet ready for this stratospheric award. ORIENTAL SPOTTED TABBY ADULT FEMALE.

Profile shows a slight angle at the bridge, straight planes above and below. Slender body, matching limbs and tail that has a tiny terminal expansion. Very good texture to her coat; pattern shows soft forehead M, eye lines, faint necklaces, good tail rings and bracelets, with well developed flank spotting, some linkage, all in a sophisticated soft warm tone, perhaps needing a little more obvious contrast to the ground shade ideally. ORIENTAL SPOTTED TABBY KITTEN MALE. 1. BoB. BAUERFEIND S SHIMILEETA INYOUR DREAMS. M. (38n) 6mths 4wks.Timid lad, with a strong even wedge head, good breadth at the top between well placed open ears, oriental incline to his almond shaped olive green eyes. Excellent straight profile, curving chin, incisors level. Strong body with limbs to match, tail just long enough for balance.

Dainty lady of type and style, long feminine wedge, wee pinch at present, ears well aligned, could be a little more spaced for preference, good oriental eyes of green tone.. Good straight profile, chin rather shallow and sloping back, bite meets. Slender body with matching limbs, tail just balancing. Slick coat, spotting a little better defined than when last seen but still needs clearer contrast to the background, considerable surface ticking still evident. Facial tracing, two nice broken necklaces, leg bracelets, some tail ringing appearing. HAVANA NEUTER. BoB. LINTON-SINCLAIR S GR PR TRELGANDORF TRADITIONAL. MN. (29) 2yrs 1mth. Lengthy stylish lad, long even wedge head, good green shade to his inclined oriental eyes, casts right one intermittently but this is not sustained, good sized ears in alignment, sometimes tilted a little forward.

AC MAINE COON CAT. 1. HOPKINS CH DRAGONMAINE SHADESLAYER. M. (64 41aw). 1/6/08. 3yrs 9mths. Blue Classic Tabby and White. Huge fellow, of childlike temperament, rolling about provocatively and wanting to play. Massively boned head of good

4 length to breadth proportions. Great breadth between ears and upper skull makes the muzzle, which is of uniform width and has the correct square boning and cheekbone outline, look marginally short but this is very minor. Width of skull between ears also confers a slight flare to them, but when interested they are held upright; they show desired taper and furnishings. Eyes are pleasingly rounded, open and alert when attention engaged, showing slight obliquity in their set. Profile shows the desired shallow concave curve from the bridge, muzzle shows excellent masculine depth, chin lines up well, bite level. Very good, very large, powerful, rectangular body with strong matching limbs ending in large round tufted paws, with a lengthy, profusely furnished tail. Double coat full and flowing with graded lengths down back and over flanks and tail, blue surface layer just a little dry textured, shaggy under tummy, attractive colour to the tabby pattern that is fairly well defined, with good bright white paws and underparts for contrast. Well developed ruff and breeches. 2. I GR CH HARTSCOON AYLA OFBEARDWOOD. F t yrs 1mth. Brown Tabby and White. Senior lady of solemn temperament and sound overall type, slightly short of coat at present. Head shows good overall length to breadth proportions. Muzzle correct in its square boning and cheek bone outline, perhaps a little less in length than that from bridge to ear line. Very good tall tapering ears, correctly spaced on the skull, well tufted and internally furnished. Eyes oblique in set though could for preference be held a little more full and rounded; she declined to open them well today despite strenuous efforts at beguilement, presenting a consistently heavy lidded, rather almond shaped look. Profile only just shows a concave curve that could be more clearly defined ideally. Muzzle has depth to it and chin lines up, though could be a little broader, bite level. Body well developed and rump square in outline, limbs proportionate, round, feathered paws, tail reaches shoulders. Coat of good texture, the glossy top coat just a little even in length on the body and flanks, double layering evident, at present very little ruff to frame the head, and breeches very demure; attractive well contrasted brown tabby pattern clearly defined on forehead and cheeks, body and tail, appropriately distributed sparkling white. 3.

7 profile, chin sloping a little, level bite. Body of medium size, proportionate limbs and tail. Undercoat seemed a little less full and woolly than when seen recently, but tortie and white overcoat full. To follow the theme from my NFCC Show Report, she seemed a little preoccupied today. Had probably been very busy charming everyone, and couldn t wait to get back to the palace, stow the hat and kick off the shoes and was hoping wistfully that the darned butler would have the drinks tray ready.
