She has a level chin of fair depth and a tidy level bite. She has appropriate kitten sized medium/large ears, broad at their base and with rounded tips. They are set beautifully so their outline follows the outer line of her wedge. She has the most glorious large and sultry eyes, golden yellow toned with superb fullness to the rounded lower line and a slanting and slightly curved top line resulting in a super Burmese expression. She has a firm toned feel to her slender body, elegantly proportioned limbs, oval paws, a rounded chest and straight back. Her tail is medium thick at its base and gently tapers to a rounded tip with enough length to balance her body. Her coat is very fine, providing a smooth and gleaming covering in a honey toned pale chocolate with just a very slight contrast to her mask colour at the moment. Super kitten that is destined to make her mark in the show world!

Her eyes are large with super fullness to the rounded lower line and distinctly flatter top line which is not quite a continuous curve in shape, and angled towards her nose. They are still changing, so show as khaki colour at present which bodes well. She is a good weight and size for her age at just under 4 months with slender legs neat oval paws and shapely tail that balance her body. Her kitten coat, is very fluffy plush and slightly long at present. She is a pretty mix of pale lilac and some soft cream, with pretty facial markings.

X2nd  Williams’ MOLYNMEUX VEUXVEUXZELA (27j)  F  23.04.10

In profile she has only a minimal nose break at present followed by a short nose which slopes downwards and rolls off. She has a medium depth chin which is level and a correct bite. Her medium/large ears are broad at the base and rounded at the tip and show a slight tilt forward in profile.

Currently they are still changing and are a khaki colour with some brighter yellow tones just starting to show through. She is a good weight and size for her age with a rounded chest, straight back, slender legs and neat oval paws. Her tail is medium thick at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is of appropriate length. Her coat, is rather long and plush, feels silky and soft and is a mixture of mostly lilac with some soft cream. I actually preferred this kitten the best from the front view because of her width and her eyes but my winner not only looked super from the front she had the best profile so I felt she was the overall best package. It could all change though!

Looking better out of the pen than in this chap has a super temperament. He has a fairly short wide wedge tapering to a reasonably short blunt muzzle with slight rounding over his head and brow.  In profile he has a fairly well defined break followed by a straight nose which is slightly long. I’d prefer his chin to be firmer; it has quite good depth but is marginally set back. He has medium/large ears which are broad at the base, rounded at the tip and show the desired slight tilt forward in profile and well set in relation to his wedge shape. He has good eyes for size and shape, set well apart and yellow chartreuse in colour. He has a longish body, with a good weight and lovely muscle tone, a rounded chest and straight back. He has appropriately proportioned legs and large oval paws. His tail is just slightly short to balance his body length and is shapely with a medium thick base tapering gently, with rather prominent bones towards the tip. His coat is fairly short with a fine satin texture, lying well. It appears as a rather dark toned cream in this hall lighting today, paling slightly down his sides to his tummy. He has good powdering effect over the top of his head, shoulders and ears and just one very faint broken necklace otherwise beautifully and clear.
