Kentish Cat Society 17.10.09- Sue Lorton-Hobbs 1 Many thanks to Helen Sean and Sue for inviting me back, I had a smashing day with some beautiful cats and was ably assisted around the hall today by Pat Tegg, thank you Pat! I had some excellent kittens to chose my Best British Kitten from and finally awarded a cracking black baby the BIS called Trubrit Black Tulip owned by Mrs Crowther and bred by Val and John Shepherd. My second choice followed closely wa sa beautiful blue girl called Rayanshel Ooh La La..aptly named! AC GR CH BSH ADULT MALE IMP GR CH HAZEL S GR CH WYREWOOD CONQUEROR (79s 15) 6.7.07. All I really need to write about this wonderful chap is WOW! He looked every inch a true majestic Selkirk today. Excellent type, massive broad full cheeked head, correct ears for set, shape and width across a very broad top. Super profile, rounded brow, short straight downward slanting nose, level bite and good chin. Full chubby cheeks. Well padded whisker pads when viewed from the side, medium width muzzle thus giving rise to a rectangular appearance. Lovely large rounded eyes set well apart. Broad deep chest and flanks, powerful muscular solid body of excellent weight supported by thick medium length legs thus having a rectangular body shape. Fabulous thick tail with waves. His black coat today was stunning, short, even length, thick and dense which stands away well and the waves were right to the root and what superb texture! RES IMP GR CH POTTER S GR CH PAMPURRED PABLO HONEY (31f) 20.4.06 Big teddy bear of a cat, not quite showing the maturity of head type as the younger winner today, he has a nice round top of head but it tapers just marginally at the muzzle, excellent fullness to cheeks, neat ears set wide apart. His eyes are a stunning copper orange and are nice and round. His body is cobby in shape and he is a very good weight supported very ably by lovely tree trunk this legs. His coat is a warmer cream than I would like personally but it is much more sound and even than I have seen, much improved it is short and dense and crisp too. The white areas were well prepared, a clean bright white too. He is within the min 1/3 rd to max ½ white proportions to colour. BLUE BSH KITTEN MALE 1 ST HOWARTH S KATILICIOUS GRAYSON 9.7.07 Nice cobby stocky chap with good boning to his short legs. Nice thickness to tail but it shows rings presently. His head shape is rounded with very good width between his ears which are neat in size. His profile is rounded leading to a short nose, bite is level but chin is shallow and falls away. Good cheeks. lovely round eyes of light copper, promising colour. Short dense baby coat, quite woolly at the moment is nice and sound to roots but has a light silvering at the moment. 2 nd LAINSBURY S BARTRAZ ARCHER 4.5.09 He is a good sized lad with fair boning to his short legs, well grown and solid. However his head shape is not at all rounded and his muzzle is too prominent; his ears are very large and sit too upright. His eyes are rather bulbous; very pale almost hazel coloured instead of gold or orange or copper with a green rim evident at the moment although they are a good shape. i.e. rounded. His nose is a trifle long, the bite is level. His chin is weak and shallow. His coat which is fairly short, lays flat as it lacks density, it is also very unsound and very very silvered. I did consider withholding 2 nd award today. AC BSH BLUE KITTEN FEMALE 1 st & BOB HOLLOWAY S RAYANSHEL OOH LA LA 18.5.09 Superb kitten of quality! Cobby, deep broad chest and flanks, stands 4 square supported by very well boned short legs.
Kentish Cat Society 17.10.09- Sue Lorton-Hobbs 2 Tail is broad at base and balanced. Her lovely head is apple shaped with excellent width between medium sized well placed ears. In profile the head is rounded, the nose is short and straight, bit correct and chin firm but just slopes back. Excellent cheeks. Her eyes are well rounded, set well apart and of a promising deep gold. Short very dense crisp coat, sound to roots of good length, just a trifle silvered at the very tips. A very promising baby. 2 nd WOLFE S BUMPKIN VIENNA 9.7.09 The baby of the class and for me unlucky to meet the winner. I loved her! She too is a good weight and size for her age, shows good balance and is 4 square. Her legs are short and well boned. Tail is a mite short but is broad at base and is rounded at the tip. She too has an apple head shape with promising ears set and spacing, just a little square in the muzzle at present. Good little chubby cheeks. Her eyes are rounded and a super copper colour already! Broad level bite and firm chin. She is a little darker than the winner, more of a baby woolly coat which in itself is very promising as it is nice and short and dense, just has darker guard hairs. Very pretty baby and also one to watch! 3 rd.webb S LILYBELLS KOH SAMUI 9.4.09 A very good sized lass, but could be slightly more muscular and weighty for her frame. Nice open type. Her head is nicely rounded with good cheeks; her ears are just over medium in size and set well apart. In profile the brow rounds to a short straight nose, bite is level but chin is rather shallow. Cobby body with good bone. Tail balances. Her eyes are still rather pale which does detract, they are more of a muddy olive in this light so I hope they improve in natural light? Her coat is dense but it is a fraction long and soft, it seems more silvered in this lighting than when last judged from my notes too and more unsound. I hope her faults today are transient as I liked her type! 4 th. POTTERS BLENIM BLUE DAKOTA 10.5.09 This baby girl was let down by an incredibly silvered coat! Such a pity we are seeing more and more silvering and it is becoming heavier too, which isn t desirable in this breed. Her head is fairly well rounded, medium well set ears set fairly well apart. Her cheeks need to fill out more to balance the face. Her eyes are round and have a pretty expression, gold in colour, set well apart. Short straight nose, level bite but the chin is shallow and slopes back. Her body should be much more muscular and weighty for her age and her legs are a trifle slender boned. Her coat is fairly short, it s a darker blue but is unsound and very silvered and soft to touch. Personally I am not convinced she will make the grade, sorry. BROWN SPOTTED KITTEN 1 ST & BOB WILLIS LORRCLAWS CLOUDED-LEAOPARD 26.3.09 Love the name!at the moment he is a little out of balance, he must have had a big growth spurt as he has a huge frame and excellent bone and his head isn t quite balanced to his large body. His head is quite nicely rounded just tapers to a slightly squared muzzle at present; medium sized easr to grow into set well apart with quite good fullness to cheeks, just needs filling out more to balance his large head. In profile the head is well rounded, the nose is short and broad, bite is level and chin fairly firm. His eyes are a wee bit deep set they are nice and round and have a good expression, pale gold in this light. Solid weighty body good muscle tone and feels nice and firm. His coat is short, dense and crisp with dark brown pattern against a light warm copper ground but greys at the roots. The spots are linked more on one side and there is a little linkage down the spine line and sides. Good leg bracelets and necklaces and thumbprints. Lovely temperament. SMOKE KITTEN
Kentish Cat Society 17.10.09- Sue Lorton-Hobbs 3 1 ST (BOB N/A) WORSLEY-WARING S SATINMIST SUPURR-MADISON (36b) 18.3.09 he is quite a well grown kitten but could be a little heavier and muscular for her size.the head shape is fairly rounded, ears are largeish, set well apart. The profile is rounded and leads to a short nose. Bite is level but the chin slopes back and needs more depth. The muzzle is quite squared too and I would prefer more fullness to her cheeks. her eyes are rounded and pale gold but she has a distinct green rim in this light, pretty expression. her coat is a bitter dark toned chocolate for colour, obvious smoke undercoat showing good contrast but she is very heavily tabby marked. It is a tad long and soft and lay slightly flat. Sorry to withold the BOB today but it is an accumulation of minor faults but predominantly the tabby markings. TIPPED KITTEN 1 ST & BOB MOORHEAD S PENNYDOWN GISELLE F 7.5.09 Pretty baby, lovely open face and expression. Apple head shape just a fraction square in the muzzle, nice cheeks filling. Her ears are a little large in size and set well apart. The nose is short and straight with a bright pink rather than brick leather. Bite is level and chin firm. Cobby little body, slightly slender boned legs. Her eyes are nice and rounded but pale green with good mascara outlined. Her coat is short, a fraction soft and quite dense. The tipping is light and even with contrast against a clean silvery white undercoat. 2 nd ROWE S HEATHDOWN MAYBE BABY 26.3.09 Well grown kitten of good weight and feels nice and solid. Good bone too. Her head is rounded but slightly out of balance to her large body today. Her ears are a fraction large, set well apart. The nose is short and straight, bite is level and chin fairly firm. Her eyes are very pale at present but there is green to the centre. Her coat is short and dense and a good texture with heavy tipping almost like a blanket which is fine as it is reasonably even. However she has heavy fawning and some spotty ghost markings which at the moment do detract, pity. LILAC BSH NEUTER FEMALE 1 ST PC & BOB WHINES ADTRESH PURDIE 7.6.03 A lovely statuesque mature lady. Excellent type and balances just a pity about her pale eye colour. Super head shape, well rounded, plenty of width between neat ears set well. Fat chubby cheeks. Large round pale gold eyes, lovely expression. Short nose, level bite and chin of good depth. Cobby firm body a tad plump around her middle, supported ably by short thick legs. Her tail is broad at base and tapers to a rounded tip, just slightly fawned though. Her coat is short dense and crisp! She has a slight fawny tinge to the tips of the fur that I put down to still being able to sunbathe? Its sound coat, good colour too. BLUE BSH NEUTER BOB ONLY: BOOTH S GR CH & PR KOLINGA COUGAR 19.6.07 Well known huge chap, we needed a crane to lift him! Just lovely! AC SELKIRK REX NEUTER MALE 1 ST PC & BOB NICHOLLS CULU NEO (79s 15d) 19.4.08 My word what a large boned and powerful lad for his age! Excellent example and what a coat too! fabulous broad full cheeked head with correct medium ears set well apart and broad at base. Full chubby cheeks. Correct profile. Level bite and chin of good depth but just slopes back. Lovely expressive eyes that are well opened and round. Obvious padding to the whisker pads when viewed from the side, medium breadth to his muzzle giving rise to a rectangular appearance. Broad deep chest and
Kentish Cat Society 17.10.09- Sue Lorton-Hobbs 4 flanks. Superb coat, loads of waves all over the body head and legs, super soft feel and stands well away from the body. Just loved his tail I could do with that for catching my spiders and their webs in my house! His whiskers are straighter than I would like but this dosnt detract at all. I loved him. AC SELKIRK REX NEUTER FEMALE 1 ST PC RYAN S CURLU NEVE (40/5) 19.4.08 I had a hard task choosing between these two lovely cats for the BOB, both worthy! Super type to this girl, excellent broad and full cheeked head, rounded profile to a short downward slanting nose with a good bite and chin. Correct medium broad based ears set well apart. Lovely eyes, I must comment on their colour, a super blue most Colourpointed british breeders would kill for! For me her muzzle is just about medium in size, its well padded when viewed from the side though, so not quite achieving the shape as much as neo for me.her coat is well waved but just a fraction less waved on her back, plush feel and stands away well from the body. 2 super cats! BROWN TORTIE BURMESE KITTEN 1 ST (BOB N/A) JEFFREY'S KATSPELL GEORGY GIRL 23.4.09 An alert baby with a smashing personality, very playful and loved her cuddles. At the moment she is unbalanced and may need some time to bring it all together. She is a medium sized baby with wellrounded chest, straight back, slender proportionate limbs and neat oval paws. She is a good weight and has a pleasing firm feel about her. Her tail is a trifle short to balance, tapers to a fine tip where there is just a small fault at the very end. Her head forms a moderate wedge that has good width at the cheeks; tapering to a pinched muzzle slightly elongated muzzle. Gentle rounding to the top of head with fair width between generous ears, though she tends to hold them upright instead of following the outer line of the wedge, thus unbalancing the head lines. The bite is level; chin is medium depth but recedes just a trifle. In profile the head has acceptable depth, the brow gently rounds and the nose is fairly short with a good break but it does have a rise to the centre and rolls off at the very tip. Her eyes are promising; they are set well apart, a good size, yellow chartreuse in colour with a green rim currently to centre, good fullness to lower line and topline slants gently to the nose. Her coat is fairly short, a little longer down her back, lays well in keeping with her stage of development for texture. The colours are well mingled mid seal brown, she is darker on her body than her head at present too with a range of very pale reds. Pretty mingling to her face. BOB not awarded today due to the accumulation of faults, I do hope she comes together, she has a nice expression! AC BRITISH/SELKIRK ADULT KITTEN OR NEUTER 1 ST POTTER S KABENBE VANILLA SURPRIZE (17) 28.1.09 Huge lad, lovely type, written about recently, he has improved even more! Super copper rounded eyes too, full cheeks and level bite, firm chin. Cobby well developed body, excellent bone. His coat is a fairly good colour for a cream, but he is hotting up, its also a fraction long but nice and dense. Spotty ghost markings yet to clear. Super tail too. AC BSH SPOTTED ADULT 1 ST GRAVES SARGENTA SILVER ZEBEDEE 23.4.08 Superb type and conformation. Large broad head, very good cheeks, level bite and chin of good depth. Masculine face, large round light green eyes. Cobby powerful body with very good muscle tone and weight. Supported by thick short legs. Good rings to his balanced thick tail. Excellent coat for length texture and density. Pattern is a good dense black against a bright silver ground just some brindling though otherwise good contrast to spots which are well shaped.

Good breadth to head, medium easr set well apart, short nose and bite level, chin firm just a little square in the muzzle though. Good cheeks filled well. Cobby body of very good weight. Short dense crisp coat, clearly defined pattern, clear oysters that almost match, butterfly just brindled at the top wings. Straight tramlines. Tail a little short but is nice and broad at the base. Overall there is a little brindling to her pattern in places but the density of black shows up with good contrast against her mid bright silver ground. 2 nd POTTER AND DENTON S EVAVALE GORDON BENNETT (16) M 1.9.06 Lovely large boned teddy bear of a cat. Excellent head type, good eyes for shape and colour. Neat ears. Level bite. Powerful cobby muscular body with fabulous bone. Short dense crisp almost sound coat just a tad silvered. To nit pick I would prefer his muzzle more rounded into the contours of his head. Liked him very much though! 3 rd.
