Thank you Georgina and Lesley for inviting me to judge at their show; it was a lovely day in a great venue and a lovely lunch as always here. Thank you to Nicola Hutchinson who came out specially to steward for me - I very much enjoyed our day together and she is great with the cats, although I m not sure that she is meant to try and run off with them! It was a very busy day for us. A great steward definitely makes the day much easier. British Lilac Kitten 1 st BOB Not Awarded MURPHY S KAROWBIST LAVENDER DAZE (BSH c) F 27/07/18 A rounded head with nicely rounded cheeks, she has a firm chin with a bite that is just about level today. Her nose is short, broad and straight but the nose break is far too pronounced, making it very difficult to see a British look to her, she also has staining apparent under both of her eyes which are lovely and rounded and deep copper in colour. Her ears are a medium size and set a little high on her head today, they are rounded to the tips and well furnished with fur. She has a cobby body with strong legs and rounded paws and a tail that balances to the size of her body. Her coat is fairly short with some density to it but it is very soft at the moment, her lilac is a nice shade and has a pinkish tone to it. This girl was friendly and easy to handle. With the eye staining and a significant amount of chin acne, this young girl would have benefitted from some better show preparation today. The very pronounced nose break was my reason for withholding the BOB award. British Smoke Kitten 1 st BOB Not Awarded EDWARDS' KERNMERE LUCY LOCKET (BSH ns) F 08/08/18 A little lady of six and a half months who was lacking in British look to her today, she still has a lot to come together. Her head is currently more triangular than round, with a downward slope to her nose. She has eyes that are fairly rounded and well opened that are currently between a muddy baby eye colour and hazel. Her ears are quite large and very open at the base and are currently set a little high on her head, they are well furnished with fur and rounded to the tips, her bite is level and her chin is ok. She is long and rangy in her appearance at the moment, long and tall. Her coat is currently quite flat lying and lacking in density, it is black with a significant amount of ghosting to it. She was a friendly girl that handled well for us. She was lacking in British type today which is my reason for withholding the BOB award.
