Best - Sealpoint male - Beneath stud jowels, the head shape is an excellent
example of the Snowshoe head. Ears are a nice example of the continuation of the wedge.
Muzzle is proportionate with no signs of extreme pinch. Eyes are oval, though the cat
is excited, eyecolor is a light blue. Cheekbones are high. Chin is good, though from
this photo, it is hard to tell. |
 |
Different view of the best cat, shows eye shape slightly better, but not as good
as the real thing. |
 |
Second Best - Bluepoint male - Beneath stud jowls, head shape is an excellent
example of the Snowshoe head. Ear set is a good continuation of the wedge, even though
his ears are slightly flattened in this photo. Muzzle is proportional with no signs of
pinch. Eye shape is oval, but not as good as the best cat's eye shape. Again, cat is
startled or excited, which distorts the eye shape. Eye color is a very light blue
which is common among dilute colors. Cheekbones are high. Chin is good, chin color is
a nice contrast to the white 'v'. |
 |
A younger version of the Second Best. Color of the photo is off, but shows the
ear set and head shape better. |
 |
Third Best - Sealpoint female kitten - Evaluation is based on potential, as
kittens normally continue to develop up to two years of age. Excellent head, eye,
muzzle, eye shape, high cheekbones and ear set. Only time will tell if this evaluation
is correct. I could have done another adult, but wanted to show the best. |
 |
The following Sealpoint male young cat is nearly as good as the third best
kitten. The photo angle makes the muzzle appear to be slightly longer than it is,
however the cat is an excellent example of the Snowshoe head. The eye color could be
better. |
 |
Sealpoint female kitten - Has a good head, except for slight muzzle pinch.
Eyes are oval shaped, showing here as rounder than they are due to excitement. |
 |
Lilac Point female kitten - Eyes are an excellent example of the walnut shape
attributed to the Snowshoe, however, very few Snowshoes are found with the walnut
shaped eyes, except when excited or startled, the eyes are normally more of an oval
shape. Good head, eye, muzzle, eye shape, high cheekbones. Ear set is slightly off,
however, this may correct as she grows. |
 |
Bluepoint male kitten - Is a good example of potential which developed into an
excellent adult. As an adult, this cat earned a Quad Grand Champion Alter title in The
International Cat Association (TICA). However, his head and muzzle are slightly more
narrow than desired. |
 |
Blue Point male kitten - Ear set and size are a little off. The rest of the head
is good. Eyes are oval, but not as good as the top three. Note: This kitten grew into
his ears, and developed into a very good example of the Snowshoe breed. |
 |
Bluepoint female - Very good head, eye, muzzle, eye shape, high cheekbones and
ear set. Really nice eye color for a dulute color. |
 |
Sealpoint male kitten - Nice potential, except for muzzle which is a little
short. |
