 the muzzle, the forehead flat, and receding, the eyes some- 

 what aslant downwards towards the nose, and the eyes of a 

 pearly, yet bright blue colour, the ears usual size and black, 

 with little or no hair on the inside, with black muzzle, and 

 round the eyes black. The form should be slight, graceful, 

 and delicately made, body long, tail rather short and thin, 

 and the legs somewhat short, slender, and the feet oval, 

 not so round as the ordinary English cat. The body should 

 be one bright, uniform, even colour, not clouded, either 

 rich fawn, dun, or ash. The legs, feet, and tail black. The 

 back slightly darker is allowable, if of a rich colour, and the 

 colour softened, not clouded.
