RockySapphire

Aw, your kittens look sweet! Bentley looks like that sometimes when he isn't rifling through my handbag trying to steal receipts

Glad you had fun at the show!

Rocky's front mitts certainly look very good from the pictures you have but it is quite hard to tell.

In tabbies the things you are looking for are clear strip markings on all the points, face, legs and tail BUT NOT ears. The ears should be solid, also the tip of the tail is allowed to be solid.

They should also have white spectacle markings around the eyes and buttufly markings either side just below the nose, all of which he appears to have from the photo's.

You can read more on the standards of points here:
The Governing Counsel of the Cat Fancy - Birman Standard

Getting someone to asses him is a great idea as it will give you a better idea, you have to remember that kittens will take a while to develop all amrkings also.

My chocolate tabby Mia is looking very good for show at the moment except the colour on her legs is not yet dark enough but she is only 8 months old so it will continue to darken yet.

Let me know how he gets on with being assessed!

I will do!

The biggest thing with Birman's is the mitts they get a lot of points from that so need to be perfect!

Which one is Rocky, the tabby??

Hello. I have finally named my little birman kitten jacob. He turned 5 months old this week and I have had him for just over a month. I have put a recent picture on my profile page if you want to have a look.

Not a problem.

I won't be going to that show sadly it's too far away from me

I am taking Mia to the Cheshire Cat Club show however so keep your fingers crossed for her!

Are you thinking about getting into showing or just want to have a bit of a nosy?

I had a very special bond with my Dream he was so lovley, we lost him this argust, aged just 2 and a half, he had cancer. I love all the others but he was just my baby.

Aww thankd about Pip and Ziggy they are great with the cats. the cats are bigger then they are lol. So the cats are the boss. Ziggy is fully grown now.

no worries such a great pic to tresue, it shows you have really bonded.

thank you

Hello. I haven't named that poor neglected kitty of mine yet. I collected some really good names in the end and either none of them seemed to suit him or they were too hard to call when I practised using them. Thank fully I haven't needed to call him yet as he is always under my feet. I microchipped him a couple of days ago and I had to put a name on his card for legal purposes so I used the breeders name for him. I will change it back when I finally decide on a name. Maybe he will never get named! Ahhhhh!
