shoulders and back are broad and massive.
Legs are short and muscular; paws thick and round.
The tail is medium long and thick with a rounded tip and
reaches to the shoulders.
The neck is short and strong. |
|
Head |
The head is rounded, massive, broad with a firm chin. The nose
is short, broad and straight.
The profile is curved (without any stop). Cheeks are full
and pronounced. The large round whisker pads lend a distinct
outline to the short muzzle. |

Ears |
The ears are medium in size, broad at the base, with slightly
rounded tips. They are set wide apart. |
|
Eyes |
The eyes are large and round, set wide apart.
Eye colour corresponds with coat colour. |
|
Coat |
Length
The coat shall be medium long, smooth and very dense, with
sufficient undercoat.
It shall be crisp and not flat lying, it shall stand away
from the body, not too long and not flowing. A ruff and
“knickerbockers” are desirable.
The tail shall be bushy, well furnished and full to
emphasize the cat’s beauty.Texture
Rather coarse and crisp, but softer than that of British Shorthair.
The coat texture may be different in colours other than blue. |
