THE EAST SUSSEX CAT CLUB 24 th June 2017

THE EAST SUSSEX CAT CLUB 24 th June 2017 Judge: KEITH SCRUTON A small but beautifully run and most enjoyable show. My thanks to Vanessa and the committee for the invitation to judge at the show, I handled some super cats. AC PERSIAN GRAND CHAMPION ADULT MALE As a former breeder and proponent of chocolate series Persians it was with great delight that I judged this class: not one but both entries being rarely seen chocolate series cats. 1 & IGRCH BROCK S GRCH SUGARTUMP PENNYFORTHEGUY (PER bs) M 05.11.15 What a beauty, rounded head carrying neat round tipped ears set well apart, large round deep copper orbs, snub nose with fully formed leather and open nostrils, slightly undershot bite, firm chin and well filled cheeks. Muscular cobby body supported by short strong-boned legs and complemented by a short full brush. While not as full as I saw earlier in the year the coat was soft, immaculately presented and showing the most glorious ash undercoat covered by a warm chocolate over the head, body, legs to the tail. And with a fabulous temperament as well. Absolutely scrumptious, a wonderful example of how a smoke should look. R COLIN S GRCH SUGARTUMP SIGN OF THE TIMES (PER b) M 09.05.15 A boy that I have long admired as an example of a chocolate Persian. Smoothly contoured head with a fabulous breadth between neat low set ears, round orange eyes, snub nose, undershot and untidy bite, firm chin and well-furnished cheeks. Heavy muscular body looking a touch long at the moment as he changes his coat, short strong legs and full tail to balance. Coat well presented but currently going through the seasonal change with some harsh brindled hair and a ginger tint in places to the warm chocolate. I look forward to seeing him again when his coat has completed the moult. My congratulations to Antony Wainfur, the breeder of these two handsome boys. AV SLH GRAND CHAMPION ADULT Male 1 & IGRCH FRANCIS & BOSWORTH S GRCH ANNARIC OZZY (RGM ns 03 11 32) M 14.05.15 Moderate length head with nicely rounded contours, medium sized well set furnished ears, walnut shaped aquamarine eyes, good break at the nasal bridge, level bite and tapered chin but would like to see slightly more puffiness to the whisker pads. Well-developed rectangular body carried on medium length legs and complemented by a furnished tail. Medium length coat, a touch thin at present. Female 1 & IGRCH JONES S GRCH TIFFANY LARENDA (IMP) (MCO f 03 22) F 21.12.14 Feminine head carrying large lynx-tipped ears set vertically and well apart on the head, round eyes with oblique aperture and set, gentle concave curve in profile, high set cheek bones, square muzzle and level bite. Long-backed body carried high on legs standing on large tufted feet; long feathered tail

to balance the body length. Well-presented silky coat with dense black and rich shades of red; triangle to white to the face, white bib on the legs and underneath. R ALLEN S GRCH EMPURRER MASQUERADE (MCO fs 03) F 03.11.11 There was little to separate this girl from the winner basically seasonality of the coat. Large well-furnished ears set vertically and well apart, round expressive eyes with oblique aperture and set, curved profile, high set cheek bones, square muzzle and level bite. Well-developed feminine body carried tall on the legs and complemented by a long, feathered tail. Fur showing a silvery undercoat and black and paler shades of red top coat; white bib, paws and tummy Also considered TARRS GRCH PENDLESTAR TARKUSHA MAIA ( SBI a) F 30.04.16 A promising youngster with a feminine head carrying medium sized round-tipped ears set well apart, almost round deep blue expressive eyes, proportionate length nose with a dip in the profile, would just like to see slightly fuller cheeks. Small framed body of the correct proportions supported by medium length legs; length of tail to balance. Beautifully presented bluish-white body coat with matching pastel blue points and long matching markings. However, for me, at just over a year old she needs time to mature and hopefully grow on because she still looks like a big kitten and not an Imperial. EXOTIC SH TABBY OR TABBY & WHITE KITTEN 1 & BOB FAIRS FILOSELLE LEATHER N LACE (EXO fs 22) F 11.02.17 Charming youngster with a lovely temperament. Rounded head carrying neat round-tipped ears, round copper eyes, snub nose with the leather outlined in black, undershot bite, good depth of chin but with cheeks yet to fill out. Cobby body standing low on short legs and balanced by a short thick tail. Coat developing: clear silver undercoat with nicely marked face, black classic pattern overlaid with shades of red. RED, CREAM OR TORTIE BIRMAN ADULT BOB FINCH S CH SIOLU SNOWWITCH SUMMERS-END ( SBI d) M 13.07.16 Adolescent male with medium sized ears set well apart on the head, almost round richly coloured blue eyes, dip in the proportionate length nose, level bite and depth of chin. Moderate sized long-backed body supported by medium length legs with length of tail to balance. Coat now a touch coarse in texture as he approaches the moult and looking a touch overheated. Red points typically showing some tabby markings, good length gloves and gauntlets. RED TABBY SERIES MAINE COON KITTEN 1 & BOB HOLDEN S COONICASTE TANGERINE DREAM (MCO d 22) F 03.03.17 What a sweet babe of very promising type. Very large upright ears set well apart on the head and with lynxtips already developed, expressive eyes with oblique aperture and set, gentle concave curve in profile, level bite, high set cheek bones, square muzzle and deep chin. Rectangular body outline, long legs and length of tail to balance.

SILVER TABBY SERIES MAINE COON NEUTER BOB not awarded, ELSON S OBIGC & IGRPR NORACOON MOLPOLOLE (MCO fs 03 22) FN 01.05.07 I was sorry not to be able to award the BOB to a girl that I have judged in the past but sadly her bite is now not only missing incisor teeth but more significantly- and my reason for not making the award she has gone undershot. AC COLOURPOINTED OR MITTED RAGDOLL NEUTER BOB HAMPSHIRE S GRPR RAGSHAVEN COCO CHANEL (RAG n 04) FN 21.03.16 A delightful girl with a superb temperament.

TONKINESE NEUTER BOB MACEYS IGRCH & PR FECHELDEE DAISEYMAY (TOS k 32) FN 01.12.06 Mature well-presented lady who I have had the pleasure to judge as an entire.
