Alley Cat (15)
BOB: Arrow's Righteousness
BOS: Arrow's Rebel
AOM: PawPrintz Capsacin Conundrum at Cymophane
Notes: desired markers in alley poses for me are angry or level eyelids (scared eyelids undesired), alignment/breathing of course & as close/curled tail curvature as possible towards the dorsum. specific tail variation nor skinniness factored in! a very stunning BOB.

Korat (11)
BOB: Mirror Blue's Chromatics
BOS: Mirror Blue's Last One Standing
AOM: Cymophane Ferrous Ferrocyanide

Toybob (8)
BOB: Fauvelle's Quite Frankly
BOS: Cymophane Licorice Scented Aromatic
Notes: i love toybobs! was looking at levelness in expression, overall balance - they have a compact square body and jankiness in proportions from pose can be very accentuated as a result. very pleased with the catz placed.
