It could be. GCCF : Depends on the judge doing the judging. Some are mouth fixated and look for over/undershot or scissor bites. Some even confuse an overshot for a scissor. I remember a certain judges critique stating an overshot and, two weeks later at another show, the same judge and the same cat had a critique of a scissor bite. Go figure. These judges will penalise for this. Other judges, if the o/u or scissor is a very mild case tend to overlook it. With TICA, I couldn't say as nobody has broached this before.

Lockets are white patches with no spotting usually seen on the chest, abdomen or in the groin. Not to be mistaken for a white chin that extends towards the chest or a white tummy and inner side of the legs. Whited tummies have spots.

1. On the cats the points are the ears, tail, feet

2. In showing, each part of the cat gets a maximum number of points that the judges give according the breed standard

For example, here is the judging criteria GCCF 1997 for a brown spotted bengal
