OAKLANDS SCEPTRE, blue Persian female









Oaklands Sceptre, a blue Persian female, born April 9, 1909, as described by Judge Mr. T.J. Ambrose:

"What a wonderful combination of strength and quality! Her head is of sufficient strength for a good male; in fact, would shame many. Her full cheeks, full snub nose, and strength of muzzle, to say nothing of the width between the ears, which, by the way, are neat and well carried, short limbs and body, and built on very sturdy lines throughout, beautiful wide-awake eyes, and immense wealth of coat, which stands, as it should do, on end, and not, as many are, showing that tendency to flatness. Altogether, she is a beautiful example of what a Blue Persian Cat should be."

Shown here with her owner, Miss Gladys Cheetham.
