Occlestone Silver Laddie won a 1st and Best of Breed at the 2009 North of Britain Championship Cat Show.

And introducing Occlestone Silver Miracle, known at home as Dolly.  She earnt her name from being born very early and weighing only 40 grams.  Mum Kashmere did not want to know her for the first few days and human “Mum” had to hand feed her until Kashmere took over.  The vet said that considering her birth weight it was a miracle she made it.  After that difficult start to life Dolly has gone on to win 1st and Best of Breed at the 2009 Cheshire Area Championship Cat Show.

Round eyes of blue green colour developing well, not yet set, complimented by dark brown pigment. Brick nose leather with good liner and good size nostrils. Wide muzzle with level bite, appears to be teething, and cheeks need to fill out. Good body conformation, covered by a full coat lightly, but evenly tipped. White frill and pure white undercoat. Tail short and well covered in proportion to body. Short, fat legs with no dusty markings to underside of paws. Overall effect was of a very pleasing baby that shows a lot of promise for the future.’

Square, cobby body. Short fat legs. Really full, bouffant coat. Pure white undercoat, very lightly tipped in black. Danced around the trolley like a fairy princess. Presented to perfection. Such a sweet nature. A very bright future ahead for this baby.’

The Yorkshire County Championship Cat Show:

Open Class – second place out of eight (Judge: Mr John Hansson)

‘This was also a most attractive kitten who would easily have warranted a BOB. Beautifully prepared. Slightly heavier brow, which was well rounded, generally good breadth across her cheeks, good stop and short nose, chin has both good breadth and depth. Ears could be a touch neater, very pleasing, bold, well rounded eye shape of good larger size, the colour is a clear bright green. Body has good size and bone for her age, developing with compact body shape, quite short well boned legs and good size paws, full bush tail of good shorter length. Lovely coat texture, soft, silky and beautifully prepared, the length very good, with good density and standing well from the body, has good frontal frill and ruff present. Tipping not quite so even with slightly deeper intensity on her brow, lovely clear white undercoat, brick nose leather with darker pigment around both it and the eyes, black paw pads. Excellent condition and lovely temperament’.

Any Colour Persian Limit Kitten (Judge: Mr John Walker)

‘Chinchilla kitten of six months with good bone and substance for her age. Lovely well groomed coat, tipping a little uneven at the moment. Very nice head type with very nice eye colour. She was wearing black mascara to her eyes, lips and black on the paws. Lovely to handle. Nice baby.’
