POINTS OF EXCELLENCE. 141 



POINTS 



Ruff or Frill 15 



Large, very long, flowing, and lion-like, extending 

 over the shoulders, and covering the neck and 

 chest thickly. 



Fur 



15 



Very long everywhere, mostly along the back, sides, 

 legs, and feet, making tufts between the toes, and 

 points at the apex of the ears. 



Quality of Fur 10 



Fine, silky, and very soft in the Persian, with a 

 slightly woolly texture in the Angora, and still 

 more so in the Russian. 



Tail 10 



In the Persian the hair long and silky throughout, 

 but somewhat longer at the base. Angora more 

 like the brush of a fox, but much longer in the 

 hair. Russian equally long in hair, but full tail, 

 shorter and more blunt, hke a tassel. 



Size, Shape, and Condition 15 



Large, small in bone, looking larger than it really is 

 on account of the length of hair. Body long, legs 

 short, tail carried low — not over the back, which is 

 a fault. Fur clean, bright and glossy, even and 

 smooth, and flakey, which gives an appearance of 

 quality. 



Colour 10 



White, with a tender, very slightly yellow tint; 

 cushions of feet and tip of nose pink.
