Body |
The medium to large sized, slender cat is muscular and
athletic, yet elegant.
The legs are long and slender, the paws are oval.
The tail is long, rather thick at the base and tapering. |
|
Head |
The head is carried on a slender, long neck and forms a broad
triangle.
The skull between the ears is flat. The cheek bones are
visible (no pinch).
The slightly arched forehead continues gently into a well
defined, straight nose. No stop or suggestion of a stop.
The muzzle is slightly flattened, the chin is firm. |
|
Ears |
The ears are large, broad at the base and tapered. They are
erect and are set wide apart. The distance between the ears
must be at least that of the lower ear's width.
Tufts on the tips are desired. The ears have a thumb print. |
|
Eyes |
The eyes are large and almond-shaped. They are set wide apart
and are slightly oblique.
The eye colour is always green in adult cats; yellow-green
is tolerated. |
|
Coat |
The coat is short, close lying and with little undercoat. The
structure is rather coarse and not soft like in the Siamese.
The hairs are long enough to show a clear ticking in the
base colour and in the pattern. The ticking cannot be
sacrificed, but it is not pronounced enough for the spots to
disappear. |
|
Colour varieties |
On a beige to cinnamon base colour there are spots, which are
softened due to the ticking.
Spotted and marbled patterns are accepted:
|
seal spotted |
seal marbled |
|
chocolate spotted |
chocolate marbled |
|
cinnamon spotted |
cinnamon marbled |
Silver varieties are not permitted. |
