SHORT HAIRED CATS

SHORT-HAIRED SPOTTED CATS

First shown in the 1880s, the coat pattern is typical of the oldest domestic cats known. The type is as for the other British short-hairs. Some very good examples have appeared on the show bench recently, and I am glad that this very old breed is being revived.
The Governing Council give the following in its standards:
In judging spotted cats the first desideratum is good and clear spottings, all other properties being only of secondary importance. Turning, for example to the Spotted Wild cats, in which this form of colouration reaches its acme, we find there are various kind of spotting: some have a great many small spots, others fewer and larger; some have round spots, some oblong and some rosette-shaped. Any of these markings may be of equal merit, but the spots, however shaped or placed, shall be distinct, and not running into each other. They may be of any colour as suitable to the ground colouration. The fewer markings in the nature of stripes, even on the legs and chest, the better. The colour of eyes to conform to coat colour.

Faults Stripes and bars (except on face and head). Judging by points, a value of 50 should be allotted to spotting, after which the ordinary British Short-haired cat properties may be valued at the remaining 50 points.
