Body Of medium length and size, muscular and feeling stronger and heavier than its appearance indicates; chest strong and rounded in profile; the back straight from shoulder to rump. Legs should be comparatively fine; paws dainty and oval in shape. Tail straight and of medium length, delicate at the base and tapering to a slightly rounded tip.
Head Short, blunt wedge, contours gently rounded. Pronounced cheek bones, set wide. Distinctly curved profile. Strong chin and lower jaw.
Ears Large, set wide apart, slight forward tilt; broad at the base with slightly rounded tips; the outer line of the ears continuing the shape of the upper part of the face.
Eyes Large and set wide apart; the top line of the eye showing an oriental slant towards the nose, the lower line being rounded. Eye colour any shade from yellow to amber.
Coat Very short, fine and glossy; close-lying with hardly any undercoat
Colour Varieties Seal, chocolate, red and the diluted colours blue, lilac and cream and the according tortie colours are accepted. In all colours the underside of body is slightly lighter than the back. The body colour doesn't show either barrings or tabby markings, only the points are evenly slightly darker and show a soft contrast to the body colour. In kittens faint ghost markings and an altogether lighter body colour should be tolerated.
Faults Pinch or hollow cheeks are faults. CAC should be withheld for green eye colour or white patches.


Association info
The WCF was founded on 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by three clubs which were seeking for more democratic and human procedures in the cat fancy, more than other existing federations ever had. Right now the WCF consists of more than 540 clubs throughout the world covering all continents including the Untited States.

The WCF is registered in Germany as "eingetragener Verein" and - when European community is ready - in Brussel as an European federation, too.

The WCF takes part at consultations, arranged by the European parlament in Strasbourg, and is responsible for animal welfare and legislation in some working parties and hearing. A WCF member, wether it is a club or a federation, is independent in his business.

The WCF?s responsibilities are ...
* international cattery registration
* education, training and examination of the international judges
* standards and points
* giving rules and classes at shows
* international liaisons
