In the video on the right, Grace addresses several topics. Because of that, you will see this video on several other pages.  One is curvature of the ears, balance of nose, eyes and ears.  But she also illustrates the strong chin in line with the nose.  She also mentions that this cat's profile should have a little more change of direction.

The photo on the right shows a nice chin and flat nose.  In this phot the change of direction transitioning into the forehead looks more pronounced, but the photo below is the same cat from a slightly different angle.  The profile is nice, but could be slightly better with more change of direction.

The cat below has a nice chin, but also a flat nose and nice change of direction on the profile.
