What a headache this class gave me, two super young girls with barely a whisker between them. In the end the Mau won on her poise and presence and super expression.
I feel I must also mention the kitten that was unplaced in this class – she was a lovely Bengal baby who had been badly frightened and I felt it unfair to judge her. I do hope she recovers from her fright as she showed a great deal of promise.

3 Jarvis Gr Ch KYMIAN QUIZZICAL (27e) 17/06/01 FN
Super brown tortie who is classic Burmese type! Lovely weight to her well muscled heavy body that has elegant limbs and ends in neat oval paws. She has a nicely shaped tail which tapers to a rounded tip and balances. Her head is pure Burmese and shows a nicely rounded dome with excellent width between her medium sized ears that sit on a broad base, have rounded tips and are set with a slight forward tilt. She has large lustrous expressive eyes of pale chartreuse that have the topline slanting towards her nose and a fuller more rounded lower line and are set well apart to give her a real sultry look. Her wedge is short broad and narrows to a nice blunt muzzle. Super profile – she has very good depth to her head with a gently rounded brow with a distinct break to her short straight nose that is on a level plane with her firm level chin. She has a short glossy close fitting coat with an attractive mingling of warm seal brown and red. A lovely lady shown in super condition who purred and made biscuits and just wanted cuddles.
