2. Head: Large and shapely, but not so blunt as the Brown Tabby’s; ears short and eyes light.
3. Colour and markings: Of a deep Aberdeen granite, grey in the ground-work, and the markings very dark and beautifully arranged. Don’t forget the Mayor’s Chains.
4. Pelage: Longish, if anything; but not so long as to make the judge suspect crossing with the Persian.
