orange- i have no idea how to pose a meezer..so i dont know
ant- looks god but has the "sad" eyes goin on. did you use the spray bottle?
Frost- sad eyes, and the alignment of the front paws is off a little
cali- the alignment could be a little better, the tail could curve more, and you might want someone else to look at the ears..the seem wird to me, what breed is she/he mixed with or is it pur calico?
ace- looks pretty good as i see it

Sad eyes are never at fault. Trust me, I've heard from experianced judges(JayBee Bug for instance) that 'sad' eyelids are fine. I didn'tn use the love spray or spray bottle. Never have, never will.
Cali's mixed with WHO KNOWS WHATXD
Ace's tail needs to curve more is what I got from a friend of mine. =\

Ace is great, the only problem is the tail needs to be more curved. I think Ant has an OSHie personality? If so than sad eyes are normal.  |

I'm not sure what personality Ant has, actually, because of the XP/P5 thing... >.<

The subject of sad eyes: Many judges do in fact consider sad eyes to be a fault unless they come from a breed that poses naturally with them (Orange Shorthair. I think there's also a new Ubisoft breed or two that does). Because otherwise it means the love potion was used, and judges either consider the love potion the "easy way" to get a pose or they just don't like the look of sad eyes in a cat (they prefer the cat to look happy about its posing!). Then there are judges who consider sad eyes to never be a fault and don't care how the eyelids look so long as they match one another. I must admit I fall into the former category, I prefer no sad eyes unless it's from a breed that naturally has it. Since you never used the spray bottle I'm sure the breeds in your mixies simply pose that way naturally. |

*kicks herself* I'm being totally stupid here. Those aren't even "sad eyes," those are just . . . I'm not sure what. Okay, quick visual;  (cruddy quality pic, yeah, but just an example) Yours are more like, cali sort of eyelids . . . maybe. Mixies are unpredictable sometimes. XD |

Yeah, probably Cali eyes. Calico runs heavy in my lines.
