Breed No: 37
Head & Ears
The head should be slightly rounded on top, with good breadth between the ears, having wide cheek bones and tapering to a short, blunt wedge.
The jaw should be wide at the hinge and the chin firm, a muzzle pinch is a fault. Ears should be medium in size, set well apart on the skull, broad at the base, with slightly rounded tips, the outer line of the ears continuing the shape of the upper part of the face.
This may not be possible in mature males who develop a fullness of cheek. In profile the ears should be seen to have a slight forward tilt; there should be a slight break at the top of the nose and the chin should show a strong lower jaw. Coat
The coat should be short, fine, satin-like in texture, lying close to the body. The glossy coat is a distinctive feature of Mandalays and is indicative of good health. Condition
Should be well-muscled with good weight for size, lively and alert. Obesity, paunchiness, weakness, apathy or emaciation are undesirable. A Mandalay cat has a firm feel when handled. Colours
General Consideration
At no stage of their development should solid Mandalays exhibit any sign of tabby markings; these are to be considered a disqualifying fault in any other than red cats. No other tabby markings are to be accepted.
The presence of a few white hairs may be overlooked in a otherwise excellent cat, but a noticable number of white hairs, or a white patch is a serious fault. Any cat or kitten showing any contrast between coat colour and points with the exception of the red, should be disqualified.
