Class 4 - Section 2 Adult/Neuter Male
GCCF Judge Claire Lewis

First may I thank the organisers of this wonderful Worldwide Summer All Breed Virtual Show for their very kind invitation to judge once again at this prestigious event. They are to be highly commended for running such a well managed virtual show. And the exhibits I had in my class again this time were fabulous and superb examples of their breed and their owners and breeders should be truly proud of them. Some very tricky decisions had to be made on the placings and my top five were all splendid. However, there has to be a winner and that exhibit truly had that extra sparkle and wow factor for me. The next four cats in the highest placing were also fab with very little separating them. A super class to judge and my sincere thanks to the owners for exhibiting these handsome chaps under me!

1ST PLACE:

158b Somali M.jpg

EXHIBIT NO:  158

​

CAT NAME:  Tajhara Obsession Confession

​

OWNER:  Mary Franz

​

JUDGES COMMENT:

Wow-what a stunning Somali! He quite takes your breath away with his magnificent ticked coat which has been groomed to perfection. Of overall excellent Somali type. Very expressive large and well shaped eyes that almost seem to draw you in and oh that full brush of a tail-superb! Presented in tip-top condition-I just adored him and he was my stand out cat in this large class amongst some high quality cats. My congratulations to his owner and breeder on being my very worthy winner and my Nomination for Best in Show Male!

2ND PLACE:

58b Siberian M.JPG

EXHIBIT NO:  58

​

CAT NAME:  LA BW NW SGC Maybach of Barvinok

​

OWNER:  Iryna Petrenko

​

JUDGES COMMENT:

A magnificent looking Siberian. A strong looking chap who looks as if he certainly has plenty of heft. Of excellent overall Siberian type with his head showing the desired low set cheek bones. I loved his clear tabby pattern and would have loved to have run my hands over his coat to check out that typical Siberian coat. A confident chap and another one who knows how to present himself to his best advantage to the camera. Many congratulations to his owner and breeder in being Runner Up in this large class!

3RD PLACE:

75b RagaMuffin M.jpg

EXHIBIT NO:  75

​

CAT NAME:  Lerryn

​

OWNER:  Lynn Simpson

​

JUDGES COMMENT:

How can anyone resist the looks these huggable Muffins give! And this one has it in spades...those typical large walnut shaped eyes result in a truly appealing expression that is so typical of this delightful breed. His dense, silky looking coat has also been beautifully groomed and you simply want to reach out and give this chap a lovely cuddle or a ‘cwtch’ as we say in Welsh!

​

A very distinguished and regal looking Birman showing off his wonderful soft and silky looking coat. Impressive ruff and he has been groomed to utter perfection-not a hair looked out of place! Nicely balanced broad head with well placed medium sized ears. A confident looking chap!

​

​

355a Maine Coon M.jpg

EXHIBIT NO:  355

​

CAT NAME:  Jasper

​

OWNER:  Georgie Wiltshire

​

JUDGES COMMENT:

A lovely looking Red Maine Coon who looks like a king of all he surveys! And I’m sure probably he has his adoring owner/s wrapped around his gentle paws! Impressive tail which I’m sure is his pride and joy. Strongly built body and alert expression. Handsome chap!

6TH PLACE:

62b Siberian M.jpg

EXHIBIT NO:  62

CAT NAME:  Matiblue Diamond

Another substantial looking Siberian with a lovely pattern to his coat. I also liked the broadness to his mature looking head.

7TH PLACE:

61b Siberian M.jpeg

EXHIBIT NO:  61

CAT NAME:  Makslav Verooka 

OWNER:  Claudia Vassallo Mintoff

JUDGES COMMENT:
And another Siberian who caught my eye. It would have been interesting to have been given the ages of the chaps as this breed like some other can be slow to develop into full maturity.

A RagaMuffin with the most wonderful long ear tufts and fabulous bushy tail!
