Jane L Francis Wilson Asian Cat Association Championship Show 17 th April 2010 An excellent entry of quality cats for the first championship show which was as usual well run with a super atmosphere and yet again the sun shone from a cloudless blue sky! Many thanks for the invitation, I enjoyed myself immensely including a first rate lunch and lovely pressie to take home. Also not forgetting my hard working steward Steve (Hillman) who steered me round a busy day thank you for your company I hope you enjoyed your day. Open Classes Asian (Tiffanie) Kitten Asian (Tiffanie) Kitten 1 & BOB JAMES INYANGA LAIRDOF FILANDRE (68 43dsq) Red Silver Shaded Tiffanie with Burmese Colour Restriction male 7 months 2 weeks I first met this handsome young man a few weeks ago and he continues to develop well and please the eye. Head forms a short well balanced wedge with width at the cheek-bones tapering to a blunt muzzle. The top is gently rounded between shapely ears of medium size set well apart, broad based with rounded tips showing tiny tufts. They have a slight forward tilt and possess light internal feathering. In profile the head has good depth with slight rounding to the brow leading to a defined break. Nose is slightly long but straight the tip in line to a firm chin that could be a fraction deeper; bite is level. Eyes of chartreuse green are large, lustrous and spaced well apart. The top lid slants towards the nose with a fuller lower lid giving him a good Burmese expression. Body is well developed, weighty of good proportions and has a nice firm feel. Back is straight with a rounded chest; tail needs to be a little longer and the plume continues to developing really well. Limbs are shapely, strong without sturdiness, ending in neat oval shaped paws possessing tiny toe tufts. Coat flows well beneath the hand, the texture is fine and silky with good promising length especially to the lower sides and shows the beginnings of ruff and breeches. Undercoat is a clear sparkling silver totally free from tarnishing with a very delicate, subtle and even mantle of light tangerine along the back and tail, shading down the sides giving the effect of a soft warm glow. Some slightly darker markings to the head, ears and legs but still of matching subtle hue. Excellent nature and comfortably presented. Congratulations on your BIS Tiffanie Household Pet Non-Pedigree Tabby LH/SLH Male 1 & MC TIBBOTTS MERLIN LH Tabby & White 8 years Large shy gentleman with a beautifully prepared long tabby coat.

Tabby LH/SLH Female 1 & MC Best of Group WARWICK S MINI MINSTREL SH Classic Tabby 33 weeks Pretty lady with a super classic tabby pattern who welcomed us with confidence and purrs and a very ladylike meow.

Self SH Female Neuter 1 & MC SKINNER S MILLIE SH Black & White 16 months Pretty lady with a jet black coat perfectly prepared satin-like and glossy but she did prefer the safety of her blankets. Clear sparkling eyes, dainty rounded paws and expressive shortish tail. Loved the white on her ears. 2 BERRY S MOLLY SH White 5 years Close runner up to the previous lady. Rather shy peeking out from under her blankets. Beautifully prepared and presented lass in a shiny black and Persil white coat that is short and crisp. Large expressive eyes. Very nice condition. Ginger/AC Tortie SH Neuter 1 & MC Best of Group KITSON S WHISKEY SH Ginger & White male neuter 5 years Oh what a time waster this super boy was the one that challenged my choice for BIS this boy or the white and I couldn t have both. Sparkly white with splashes of ginger especially to his face and ears. Strong muscular body I loved his beautifully ringed tail.

Large expressive green eyes but surprising to meet such a gentle calm Tortie A calico girl with a coat so soft and plush, well covered body so beautifully prepared and presented. Miscellaneous Classes AV Adolescent Adult 1 HINKS INYANGA TIFFKINS SABLE (68 42q) Brown Smoke Tiffanie female with Burmese Colour Restriction 10 months 2 weeks A beautifully balanced young queen of very good type. Head forms a short wedge, wide at the cheek bones and tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle. The top is gently rounded with well spaced ears of medium size with light internal streamers and tiny tufts to the tips. They are broad at their base and show a slight forward tilt. In profile the head has good depth with a gentle curve to the brow leading to a defined break. Nose is straight and short, bite good, chin quite firm just marginally slopes away thus almost in line to the nose tip. Chartreuse yellow eyes are large and lustrous and beautifully shaped with the top lid slanting towards the nose with a fuller lower lid giving rise to a very good Burmese expression. Overall just a touch petite, but of very good weight with a firm well toned muscled body. Proportionate with a straight back and gently rounded chest, limbs are elegant with dainty oval paws, tail needs a further inch but a beautiful full plume does go some way to disguise this fact. Coat is fine, silky and flows under the hand. The length is acceptable for age and stage of development although it will need further length - she has time on her side. Beginnings of ruff and breeches noted. Smoke is in a clear and even warm seal over a pristine silver under coat which currently is extending just on half way up the hair shaft, I hope that it will not develop much further as the silver is likely to break through to the surface. Face shows the typical clown markings of a smoke. Lovely condition, well prepared and presented an exhibit with excellent manners. 2 FALLON-NORRIS CLARENLIS FASCINATION (68 43cq) Lilac Shaded Tiffanie female with Burmese Colour Restriction 12 months 2 weeks Pretty young lass with a moderate wedge that could have a touch more width at the cheeks to balance the length of head tapering to a blunt muzzle. Slightly flat top needing a touch further width between marginally small but well shaped (mobile) ears held rather upright but better when relaxed. These are broad based with pretty internal streamers and tiny ear tufts. In profile the head has quite good depth with a very slightly flat brow leading to a break that could have more definition. Nose is longish but straight the tip in line to a fairly firm chin; correct bite. Large lustrous clear yellow eyes of good shape are set well apart with the upper lid slanting nicely towards the nose and a fuller lower lid, beautifully expressive and I thought her best feature as they do give her an Asian look. Firm svelte body of medium length could benefit from a little further muscle - she seems to be on the edge of a call which could explain why she is less weighty than expected and also is so wriggly! Elegant shapely limbs with neat very slightly rounded tufted paws, gentle rounding to chest with a straight back. Good balancing length of tail with rounded tip showing a super plume. Coat is a medium to short length, soft and fine, flowing under the hand. Breeches are showing some development, minimal ruff as yet. Even shading of dark lilac showing some faint markings to sides over a rather dull beige/mushroom ground. Slightly more intense colour down the back and tail matching the colour up the hocks and the light tracings to the head, face and legs. In the good light of the hall, I felt that the lilac was not the best being rather dark and dull in tone. Excellent temperament if somewhat lively. 2

Gentle rounding to top between well spaced broad based ears of good shape medium in size with neat rounded tips and tilting slightly forward.

In profile reasonable depth to head with a very slight curve to brow leading to a break that needs to be more defined. Nose straight and quite short, bite level chin in line but touch shallow. Large lustrous eyes - at first glance whilst in the pen the colour looked to be a pale luminous green but when viewed in the clear daylight in the hall there appears to be a degree of greenish blue. Fair slant to 3

upper lid, fuller rounding to lower leading to a quiet a nice expression but their colour is quite off-putting. Svelte firm body, well proportioned of medium size she could be a little weightier. Slender limbs, dainty paws, with a tail a touch short with blunt end disguising a small fixed deviation-felt but not seen. Coat long, soft textured and full to touch but lying well along the body.
