50 TU-E CAT 



EARS. The ears are medium in size, narrow 

 and round at the apex, and broad at the base, 

 giving them a conical form. They should be 

 well set and erect. 



FORM. The body is long and narrow, crested 

 by a long, slender, and graceful neck. The 

 shoulders are sloped in harmony with the lithe 

 body, which, with the shortish legs, gives this 

 cat the typical feline gait. 



TAIL. The tail is thicker than that of the 

 Tortoise-shell especially so at the base 

 although some Tortoise-shell-aiid- White Cats 

 have a rather thin tail. The thick tail is, how- 

 ever, preferable. The tail should be marked 

 with black, red, and yellow blotches, and not 

 white. 



COAT COLOR AND QUALITY. The hair is 

 somewhat coarser than in the pure Tortoise- 

 shell. More white is allowable in the Tortoise- 

 shell-and- White than in the Black-and- White 

 Cat. If the white is entirely district, with a 

 clear line of demarcation between it and the 

 black, yellow, and red, as exists between these 

 latter colors, a considerable amount of it is per- 

 missible, and adds to the beauty of the animal.
