I really do take my hat off to Sally for organising and running this very large show back to back with the Cambridge. It was a very hot day with no noticeable air-conditioning in the hall and many small niggling things going wrong. However, she kept her cool and gave everyone a very good day out. I was unfortunate enough to have my steward pull out the day before. Thank you to my friend Tracy Fordham for coming to my rescue after lunch and helping me handle some of the side classes. It was so appreciated.

This is the first time I have handled a brown classic tabby and I couldn't have started at a better place - what a little sweetheart! I would have happily taken him home.

Short balanced wedge with very good ears wide at the base and well spaced. Wide rounded brow. Widely spaced expressive deep yellow eyes of correct shape and set with pale spectacles. Short blunt end to muzzle. Profile shows good nose break, straight nose and deep level chin. Very promising.

2. O'SULLIVAN'S ZAWADI TWILIGHT (13.08.10)

Sister to the two boys and it was very interesting to see the similarities and differences in the three kittens. This one had a bit of an attitude which contrasted considerably with her two "soppy" brothers. Muscular feel to sleek body with balanced limbs and tail. Very spotted legs and feet. Good contrast to plush softly textured coat with pale gold glittered background showing off black/brown spots and arrowheads and busy pattern on thighs and shoulders. Again lovely and pale underneath. Head only just slightly longer than wide and looking a little too domestic at present. Good width to top of head with medium to large ears with forward tilt. Broad short brow with pencilling on cheeks. Widely spaced green oval shaped eyes with pale spectacles. Broad nose with whisker pads forming. Profile shows slight dip in nose and level chin.

BROWN TORTOISESHELL BURMESE ADULT OPEN (2 Present)

1 CC & BOB MARRIOTT-POWER & MARRIOTT'S GR CH RUMBA DARLING DAISIE (27.04.01)

Lovely big golden oldie in beautiful condition, body still feeling muscular and firm. Rounded chest, elegant limbs and oval paws. Tail a little bony but good shape, just long enough. Well mingled slightly long tortie coat, but soft and shiny and lies well.
Lovely head for type with good width to slightly flattened top, medium ears wide at the base with rounded tips. Brow a little flat, but rounds out above yellowy-green expressive eyes of correct shape and set. Blunt end to balanced muzzle. Profile shows good nose break, straight nose and deep level chin. Lovely nature.

2. WILLIAMS' KATSPELL MISS DEARHEART (20.03.10)

What a sweet young cat, just under a year old and very appealing. Elegant muscular body, long limbs and neat oval paws. Tail of good shape, just long enough. Soft well mingled attractive shiny tortie coat, with unusual cream foot! Head showing short broad balanced wedge with medium ears of very good shape and set with rounded tips. Broad, though slightly flat brow, rounding up above yellowish expressive eyes of correct shape and set. Blunt end to muzzle. Profile shows very good nose break, short nose and level chin. A very promising young girl and very unlucky to meet the winner in the Open Class.

BROWN BURMESE KITTEN MALE OPEN (1 Present)

1 RUFFEL'S BLOOMERS BELCHAMPS BUMPKIN (24.06.10)

Not a happy boy! Large muscular body with strong limbs and oval paws. Well rounded chest and tail that balanced, but unfortunately had a small fault at the end.. Beautiful texture to rich brown coat, close lying and shiny. I am afraid that he did himself no favours by distorting his face and showing his displeasure at being handled. Slightly rounded top of head with well set ears. Brow a little flat, but rounded out above clear yellow eyes. Good nose break, nose rolls off a fraction at leather and muzzle just a little long for balance at present.

BROWN BURMESE KITTEN FEMALE OPEN (1 Present)

1 & BOB JAMES' FILANDRE CHANSON D'AMOUR (27.10.10)

Well muscled body for age with correct limbs, oval paws and balanced tail. Warm even coloured shiny brown coat, slightly long along back but lies well. Short balanced wedge with good width to slightly rounded top of head. Very well set medium to large ears, wide at the base. Broad rounded brow, widely spaced well set expressive yellow eyes of correct shape and set. Blunt end to balanced muzzle. Profile shows rather poor nose break, but level chin. I noticed she was teething so that was probably contributory to her lack of defined break. Promising little girl.

BROWN TORTOISESHELL BURMESE KITTEN OPEN (5 Present)

Unfortunately I had to wrong colour exhibit 340 (Oakenshield Airsandgraces) so was not able to judge her. I will mention though that she was a stunning little girl and I look forward to seeing her again when she has been re- registered.

The competition between the runners up was very close, and it was not easy to place second, third and fourth place.

1 & BOB JARVIS' KYMIAN LUCIE LOVEDAY (05.09.10)

Head had rather flat top and brow, but rounded out above pale yellow eyes looking a little round when I judged him. Good nose break and straight nose.

After grumbling at me all the time I was judging, she did have the grace to give me a wash before I put her back - so all is forgiven!

2nd. HUTCHISON'S IRREP BONGALULU (21.05.06)

If I had had my Asian hat on I would have questioned whether this girl could be a caramel tortie. However, as this colour is not recognised in the Burmese, I can only suggest that she is a very unusual dark colour for a lilac tortie Burmese, coat tending more to blue than lilac, and within their colour recognition looked more like a blue tortie than a lilac in the hall light. Body muscular and elegant, limbs slender with neat oval paws. Tail correct shape but would prefer slightly longer. She had a lovely texture to a very soft and silky coat, Wedge a little unbalanced at the moment, with muzzle being slightly fine at the jaw hinge. Top of head slightly flattened with good width between ears of good shape and set. Widely spaced expressive greenish toned eyes of good set. Profile shows good nose break and shallow but level chin.

BROWN MARBLED BENGAL KITTEN OPEN (1 Present)

Well-grown girl with muscular robust body, rounded chest, sturdy limbs and rounded paws. Tail balances, colour quite solid at present with just a few rings on underside of tail with black tip. Coat texture like silk, luxurious and soft to the touch and well glittered. I would have preferred more pattern to the coat which was still developing and not showing as much marbling as one would expect from a six- month-old kitten. Hopefully this will come with maturity. Lovely rich rufus colour on paws. Head slightly longer than wide with vertical streaks over the head and pencilling on cheeks. Ears medium to large. Widely-spaced greenish yellow eyes of correct shape and set with pale spectacles. Good whisker pads developing. Profile shows slight dip to nose and level chin. Easy to handle.

My next class was the Spotted Bengal kittens. I put in my write up - "An amazing class of kittens." It was so rewarding to see such a class of high-quality kittens showing the attributes emerging that we are striving for. They were probably the best class of Bengal kittens I have judged to date. Congratulations and 'thank you', exhibitors.
