Body |
The medium sized, elegant cat is slender and muscular. The
body is elongated and lithe. The rib cage and shoulders are
not wider than the hips.
The legs are long and slender, the front legs are straight
and the paws are dainty and oval with long toes (monkey
fingers).
The tail is very long, thin at the base, whippy and ends in
a pointed tip.
The neck is long and slender. |
|
Head |
The head is wedge-shaped. The wedge starts at the nose and
broadens on both sides in straight lines to the ears.
The nose is long and straight, the forehead is flat. The
profile is slightly convex.
The muzzle is fine, with a strong chin, forming a vertical
line with the tip of the nose. |
|
Ears |
The ears are very large with a broad base and pointed. They
are wide set, with the outer edges continuing the sides of
the wedge. |
|
Eyes |
The eyes are almond-shaped and set slightly at a slant to the
nose, in harmony with the wedge-shape of the head.
The colour is a bright green. In the Colourpoint the colour
is an intense blue, the darker the better. |
