White Long-haired Cat


POINTS

HEAD 10



Round and broad across and between the eyes, of medium size;

nose rather short, pink at the tip; ears ordinary size, but

looking small, being surrounded with long hair, which should

also be long on the forehead and lips.



EYES 15



Large, full, round or almond-shape, lustrous, and of a

beautiful azure blue. Yellow admissible as five points only.

Green a defect.



RUFF OR FRILL 15



Large, very long, flowing, and lion-like, extending over the

shoulders, and covering the neck and chest thickly.



FUR 15



Very long everywhere, mostly along the back, sides, legs, and

feet, making tufts between the toes, and points at the apex

of the ears.



QUALITY OF FUR 10



Fine, silky, and very soft in the Persian, with a slightly

woolly texture in the Angora, and still more so in the

Russian.



TAIL 10



In the Persian the hair long and silky throughout, but

somewhat longer at the base. Angora more like the brush of a

fox, but much longer in the hair. Russian equally long in

hair, but full tail, shorter and more blunt, like a tassel.



SIZE, SHAPE, AND CONDITION 15



Large, small in bone, looking larger than it really is on

account of the length of hair. Body long, legs short, tail

carried low--not over the back, which is a fault. Fur clean,

bright and glossy, even and smooth, and flakey, which gives

an appearance of quality.



COLOUR 10



White, with a tender, very slightly yellow tint; cushions of

feet and tip of nose pink.
