Yes like Cherrytop says nice thick noseband to enhance the head, tidy up those cat hairs under the belly to give a smooth outline, and whilst you do not wish to trim the mane a pair of hairdressers thinning scissors and take off the really long ends will actually make it look longer and just like humans will encourage healthy growth. The tail needs to look "au naturel" too - not squared. Descreet trimmimg of the very long cat whiskers under the chin may make the head stand out a little more - but it must be descreet - thinning scissors again

that wasn't posted by me - it was posted by my very good friend Ella and her wonderful hairy fairy cob! This is the first forum to actually answer her questions, I did tell her but she didn't believe me cos I am suppose to be blinkered when it comes to other breeds!!!
