Arlyn is right ! I would've sworn that cat was a dilute color from that other pic.
edit; man, I type so slow.

Argh I actually knew the British Shorthair right away when I saw that photo, why do I have to be out every time there's one I can get right?

Wow... those kittens are just gorgeous!! How'd you ever get them to sit still like that? I'd have to duct-tape 'em down or something, and I don't see any tape in the pic!
I didn't make the pic
Your photographer is great
If its a chocolate lyxn point, then the one photo is a very poor one. BTW in the multiple kitten pic you also have a seal point there
lol Sorry, I thought the lighting on the first picture was okay, so I was really confused when people started saying he was a blue-point! Blame apartment bedroom lighting.
The second one shows off the chocolate coloring better.
To be honest, yup, I recognized your boys, but I can never, for the life of me remember their colors.
Or any pointed cat's colors for that matter, unless they are blue point or seal point

WOW! Thank you! Cannot remember the last time I won somethingOriginally Posted by Abymummy
Ding Ding Ding!!!! Well done!!!250 points for you!!!!
Personally speaking (in other words, IMO), I do not like this "type" of Abyssinian - very extreme....
Red mackeral tabby Maine coon.
Finally on at the right time to play again
Abymummy I have been sending lots of winning vibes for Bulan. I was wondering about the more extreme type in some Aby's. Is that a newer trend? I like the rounder faces.

Wrong breed!!!!
Thanks for the vibes! Seriously, seriously need them!!!
As for breed standards..well, it's all up to interpretation - here's what CFA says:
HEAD: a modified, slightly rounded wedge without flat planes; the brow, cheek, and profile lines all showing a gentle contour. A slight rise from the bridge of the nose to the forehead, which should be of good size, with width between the ears and flowing into the arched neck without a break.
MUZZLE: not sharply pointed or square. The chin should be neither receding nor protruding. Allowance should be made for jowls in adult males.
EARS: alert, large, and moderately pointed; broad, and cupped at base and set as though listening.
See - look at ears - what the heck does large mean anyway? Bat ears?? Seriously, I don't really like that on an Aby.
But all breeds go through trends... so it's really up to the breeder(s) to convince the judge(s) that their interpretation of the breed standard is correct. And that's why there will NEVER be a perfect example of any breed!!!
Norwegian forest cat perhaps ?

Ding Ding Ding!!!
One of the main differences between a Wegie and a Coon is in the shape of the head - and my Lou is a really good example of that. The Wegie head shape should be an equilateral triangle whereas Coons have broader foreheads.
Another one for colorpointers!!!
Breed : 100 points coz it's easy and color 100 points coz it's easy

He is beautiful, I almost said NFC, but then I thought his face looked more Maine Coon. I think I have those two mixed up. going to have to study them some more.Originally Posted by Abymummy

Thank you for the explanation on the judging. That is a tough one. I just would hate to see the Aby's get too oriental looking.
