Head Shape wedge shaped, of medium proportions, wide at the top; the contours are soft and graceful
Nose medium long. In profile the head shows a soft curve, with neither a stop nor a straight nose
Chin girm and well developed
Muzzle not sharply pointed
a shallow indentation forming the muzzle is desirable, but a pinch is a fault

Placement set well apart and pricked
Eyes Shape large, almond in shape and set well apart
Colour brilliant and expressive; amber, green or yellow; pure, clear and intense colour; outlined with the colour of the ticking
Neck graceful
Tail fairly long and tapering; broad at the base
the tail should be well furnished
Body Structure medium built, medium long; firm, lithe and muscular, having a firm feeling.
Coat Structure extremely fine and very dense; the denser the better; texture very soft to touch
of medium length, except on the shoulders, where it can be a little shorter
preference is given to those cats with well-developed frill and breeches.
