Janet Starr Critique

Strong & stylish Seal Tabby-point Balinese of super type. Strong wedge head with angular profile & a deep firm chin. Bright blue eyes of excellent shape & setting, very expressive! Well placed large open ears balancing his head nicely. Long strong body & legs, tail just long enough & well furnished. Silky coat needing just a little more length at the sides, showing shading, points well defined in dramatically dark seal brown. An impressive neuter, well deserving this highest award today

at the Supreme Cat Show 2007

Overall Impression - Stunningly handsome - a gorgeous boy.
 
Very strong and perfectly even wedge head with large wide based ears set to follow the lines of his wedge.  Near straight profile with a firm chin and level bite.  Lovely expression and eyes of excellent oriental shape and setting.
Colour good, but for perfection could be a fraction darker in tone.  Strong firm body with strong legs, large oval feet and a good length, well plumed tail.  Seal tabby markings overall well defined, brushed thumb prints, good M and short single ribbons, dark whisker spots.  Paler leg bars and arm bands, some ring visible in the plume.  Coat of good length and texture.  Shading evident.  Just love him.
