The profile is curved (without any stop). Cheeks are full and pronounced. The large round whisker pads lend a distinct outline to the short muzzle.

Coat

Length
The coat shall be medium long, smooth and very dense, with sufficient undercoat.
It shall be crisp and not flat lying, it shall stand away from the body, not too long and not flowing. A ruff and “knickerbockers” are desirable.
The tail shall be bushy, well furnished and full to emphasize the cat’s beauty.

Texture
Rather coarse and crisp, but softer than that in British Shorthair.
The coat texture may be different in colours other than blue.
