General
Appearance: alert appearance
Size: medium
Head
Shape: Viewed from the front the head is heart-shaped with breadth between and across the eyes. The eyebrow ridges form the upper curves of the heart and the sides of the face curve gently down to the chin to complete the heart shape.
Nose: Length in proportion to the face with a slight stop in profile. There is a slight downward curve at the tip of the nose leather (lion-like)
Jowls/Muzzle/Chin: Jowls and chin firm and well developed, forming a good balance for the profile and for the completion of the heart shape. Muzzle neither sharply pointed nor square. Chin neither weak nor receding which gives a pointed shape to the head.
Ears
Shape: large, broad at the base, slightly rounded at the tips. Inside of ears slightly covered and outside well covered with extremely short and close hair.
Placement: Set high on head to give an alert expression
Eyes
Shape: large, round and well opened, rather oversized for the face
Colour: luminous and expressive Brilliant green colour is preferred, but amber is permissible
Body
Structure: neither short like a Manx nor long like a Siamese, muscular, supple, powerful but not heavily built; heavier in weight than appearance suggests. Back curved.
Legs: in good proportion to the body. Hind legs slightly longer than front legs.
Paws: Oval
Tail: medium long, heavier at the base tapering to a rounded tip
Coat
Structure: short to medium in length, lying close to the body, single coat. Glossy and fine. Inclined to break over the spine as the cat moves.
Colour: Silver-blue-grey all over, hair tipped with silver, the more silver the better. At the extremities where the coat is shorter, the silver shine is intensified.
Nose leather/Lips: dark blue-grey or lavender
Paw pads: dark blue-grey to lavender with a pink tinge
