Profile shows a good depth of skull from brow to lower jaw, rounding to brow & forehead, well defined break to slightly long nose that has pale pink coloured leather rimmed with milk chocolate, firm level chin & level bite. Large lustrous pale yellow eyes that have a green pupil ring at present are rimmed with milk chocolate, have paler spectacle-like surrounds, a smudge of milk chocolate in the inner corners are spaced well apart but are obliquely set & the upper lids slant too acutely towards the nose, the curve to the lower lids however is more rounded. Well grown lass has muscular body of good weight, straight back, rounded chest, boning to well muscled legs is a tad on the heavy side but they are of good length, large oval paws the pads all of which bar one are pinkish milk chocolate, the one exception being pink & have lovely tufts between the toes; gorgeous plume of a tail is of very good length & shape. Lovely long, quite dense but flowing silky feeling coat with ruff & breeches developing lies flat along the spine & has a lovely healthy shine; has milk chocolate leg barring, tail tip, 'M' & lines (a couple of which are red) on forehead on paler chocolate silver, the ground colour of pale red-silver shades gradually down the shaft to the silver undercoat. A sweet, serene girl shown in top condition & beautifully prepared whom I loved.
Mrs J Francis Wilson - A.V. Foreign Kitten 6-9 Months
2nd of 4
Pretty young lass of pleasing type. Head forms a moderately short wide wedge with good width at the cheek bones. Gentle rounding to top between medium to large well set and shaped ears that are broad based, lightly furnished and with rounded tips under tiny ear tufts. In profile the head has good depth with a slight curve to the brow leading to a good break. Chin is level with a good bite and straight nose quite short in length. Large lustrous eyes of chartreuse yellow are set well apart with the desired slant to the upper lid complimented by a fuller lower lid giving her a good Burmese expression. Body nicely developed and well proportioned with good substance and weight. Medium in size with straight back and gently rounded chest. Quite slender legs and neat paws with tiny toe tufts that do make them appear larger and rounder than they actually are. Tapered tail of good shape to balance shows a good plume, ruff and breeches still to develop. Coat fine soft and flowing with shiny surface, typically at this stage of development on the short side with "feathering" to the lower sides. Shading in delicate colouring of pale warm chocolate with subtle breaks of soft reds over complimentary "Chocolate Tortie" silver ground colour. Very slight intensity of colours down the spine and up hind legs. Mottled paw pads in pink and chocolate. Well prepared and presented.
