David Relaxing with kittens!

2012-01-01T07:51:00.001-08:00

Kittens always find a comfortable place to relax, of course it's a great excuse not to have to do anything once you've settled them all down. Who could disturb these little beauties!!

Mia's kitten Update

2011-12-30T00:34:00.001-08:00

Herbie at nearly a year.

Devil eyed babies! still looking cute! Sleepy kitten
Now this is cute!

Thought you might like a little up date, as to what the new babies are going to grow up to be like, the first photo is of Herbie at nearly a year old, The others are of his true siblings, the litter born 21.11.11, to the same mating of Tyler and Mia. They are all growing fast and eating well although very messily! But are sure to be as gorgeous as Herbie when they grow up.

Happy Christmas To you all

Ragdoll Cat "Must Haves"!

2011-11-30T01:20:00.000-08:00

I was looking at www.ragdoll-rescue.co.uk and saw a very good article that I thought I would share with any prospective owners. Every cat’s owner "Must have" list:
Scratching Post/tree – preferably big and heavy as Ragdolls do get very large in size and weight.
Feeding bowls – the best are ceramic or metal as it is very easy to keep them clean (without scratching the surface where bacteria could multiply). Always wash the bowl after every feeding.
Food – healthy diet is the most imprtant aspect of cat’s health. Make sure You are choosing Premium cat food (always read the label at the back of the pack) avoid supermarket foods as they contain very poor quality ingreedients. Bear in mind that Your cat is a carnivore and needs meat to survive, also avoid feeding dry kibbles only as this can lead to kidney problems.
Water bowls/fountains – fresh, drinking water must be accesible at all times, wash the bowl every day before filling with fresh water.
Litter tray – there’s a big choice of litter trays, some cats prefer hooded trays while others like to use classic open ones. Always ask breeder\previous owner which litter tray the cat is used to.
Litter – again a big choice, it is advisable to use the litter that cat is used to as radical changes may cause problems. If You want to change the litter always do it gradualy by mixing a cup of new litter with old one in the litter tray, slowly increasing amounts.
Grooming kit – the best choice would be a metal pin brush and metal comb. Soft brush is a good choice for kittens and cats with sensitive skin. Baby powder used regulary helps to keep the coat clean and prevents matting.
Toys – Ragdolls love to play with their toys a lot of them can play fetch. They love soft balls, lasers, and squeeky mice toys. Always check if the toy is safe for your cat (avoid plastic bags, foil ribbons and small parts).
Cat bed – Most cat owners let their cats sleep in their beds ☺ but if You prefer Your cat to sleep outside Your bedroom You must provide it a nice warm big sized cat bed or soft thick blanket.

Pumkin Photo's

2011-11-27T02:33:00.000-08:00

I have decided as Sopretty's kitten is a red and born in October he will be named Pumkin ! He is so wonderful , I just had to share the photo's taken this morning while he was playing with his mouse as they show what fab dark blue eyes he has. He is going to be absolutly stunning when his colour developes more . As he is going to be a big boy with a superb thick coat.

3 days old now

2011-11-24T14:10:00.001-08:00

See how we've grown! Our belly's are rounded and we're putting on weight. Mia's is being a brilliant and attentive Mum.

Mia's New babies born 21.11.11

2011-11-23T01:45:00.000-08:00

As promised here are the first photo's of Mia's babies these were taken on the day on my phone ( so not the greatest quality) just after the last one have been born. The weigh between 85 and 114g and were all strong and trying to feed, by yesterday they had fat bellies and had all put on a few gms!

Here's some good news

2011-11-23T01:31:00.000-08:00

I am sorry I have not blogged for a while but Tiny Tim's passing knocked me for six, it was one of those why do I breed moments! Anyway, here's are some Photo's of Sopretty's kitten, that I had failed to introduce you too. He's a handsome cutie a bundle of love, who was born on the 8th of October. So is now almost 7 weeks old and being and only kitten loves human playmates, he will be ready for a home just after Christmas if anyone is interested please contact me.

In Memory of a very Special Little Boy! 30.10.11 ~ 28.11.11

2011-10-28T14:40:00.000-07:00

I am sad to report that Tiny Tim ( TT) passed away this afternoon. He had appeared to be getting so much better when he took a turn for the worse this morning. We are all devastated this evening at his passing , in his short life he had really got into our hearts , which his cuteness and determination. I have to share with you the gorgeous photo's we took Wednesday when he appeared back to his bouncy self.

He was doing so well!

2011-10-24T02:20:00.001-07:00

Sadly I have to report that despite doing so well until last Friday TT ( Tiny Tim) has a chest infection that has now turned to phenomena, He is a very poorly boy but is still fighting so fingers crossed that he can pull through.

Every body has a home to go to

2011-10-14T00:40:00.000-07:00

Just to say a big thank you for the response are had yesterday to homing of Cadbury and Caramel after they became available again . You will be pleased to know that they are going together to some dear friends of ours , a great family home with one very excited 10 year old who with adore them both. I thought I'd share a few photo's as well of Henry who captivates every bodies hearts a real star of the show I think you'll agree?

WoW!

2011-10-10T00:24:00.000-07:00

WE are all doing well this end on Friday at a week old Tiny Tim Weighed in at 103gms ! Which is absolutely brilliant, especially as I haven't been supplement his feeds since last Tuesday! To put it into perspective Sopretty had her Kitten ( yes only one again!) in the early hours of Friday Morning and it weighed in at 102gms! You can see the difference in his size when you look at him now against Missy's foot and at 3 days!

Missy Update

2011-10-03T05:18:00.000-07:00

There is good news and bad news! Little Tiny is still fighting and weighed in at 63g this morning, you can see how small he is when you compair him to Missy. So fingers crossed he keeps going well, early days yet I know but he's even more important to me now I know that he will be Missy's last. Poor Missy had to have her womb removed today as it was strangulated , having twisted around it's self so there was no way the others could have got out , which is why the Oxitocine didn't work. She has come through the operation I have to collect them both at 2.30.

KT kitten Update

2011-10-03T05:11:00.001-07:00

All the babies are big , beautiful and full of mischeif! Here are some photo's I caught this morning of Cadbury ( Seal ) , Henry ( Tabby) and Caramel (Tortie) having fun playing !

Missy ! No sleep last night!

2011-10-01T10:41:00.000-07:00

Missy had a very tiny kitten last night , only weighed 56g!! Early, but it has some fight as it weighs 60g this evening and is still with us! I spent the whole night up with her expecting some more but no show. So it was off to the vets this morning for a scan. sadly although there appears to be another couple in there there were no signs of life so she has had some injections to hope fully enable her to pass them with out having to open her up! It's at times like these when your exhausted you wonder why you put them and you through such heartache ! So please think positive thoughts for tiny one to have the strenght to keep going and Missy to go through the next few hours successfully. Looks as if I'll be up all night again tonight.

Naughty KT!!

2011-09-02T06:06:00.000-07:00

I have to admit to a security issue! 11 weeks ago KT decided that she wanted to find her own mate , and fancied a bit of rough dispite the fact that I had a fabulous boy lined up for her! So she escaped through one of the small windows in the conservatory and arrived back next morning very pleased with her self and no longer calling!!! 2 weeks ago she gave birth to 4 little cuties so I can be too cross with her even though it puts my breeding program in chaos for her this year! So if you are after a half ragdoll kitten, please get in touch there are to dark chocolate ( not really black- one of each sex , a tortie and tabbie- male.

Calling all owners of my cats and kittens!

2011-08-24T08:25:00.000-07:00

I am going to do a calendar again this year. So if you have a beautiful photo of your darling that you feel might win a place in it . Can you email it to me. It needs to be a very high resolution to make a decent print.
Good luck with your photo's may be you'll be seeing it in print!

Exciting news!

2011-08-15T11:24:00.000-07:00

I had this email today which I just had to share with you! Sookie was Joy and Tylers kitten from last year.........................................
Hi Tanya, apologies for not being in touch recently, I can't believe it's August already! Anyway I thought I'd let you know that Sookie is 'ragdoll of the week' on one of the websites I really like, there are lots of pictures of her and some stories if you'd like to see how she is doing. http://www.floppycats.com/sookie-ragdoll-of-the-week.html Also I take so many photos that I decided to start my own blog, so Sookie and Mr Darcy now have their own site! It's only a bit of fun but I'm quite enjoying it and some people have even sent me their own pictures to do a story on. If you know of anyone as mad about cats as me who'd like to show off their cats, please do point them in my direction! I hope you and the family are all keeping well, I still enjoy seeing your updates on all of the kitties on the blog. Laurawww.kitcaboodles.blogspot.com=^..^=

Herbie at 6 month!

2011-07-28T14:18:00.000-07:00

WOW time flies! Herbie is now 6 month and is going for the snip tomorrow, our thought are with him. A necessary evil. Thank you Natalie for the photo's.

News Flash - kitten Available

2011-07-27T00:37:00.000-07:00

Just got back from holiday! ( which is why , I've not posted recently) . Joy's kitten's are having last vaccinations on Friday, so will be ready to go the following weekend. However I have one very handsome boy now available due to a prospective owners change of circumstances. So if you would like to adopt him please call me.

Update on Molly ( Herbie's Sister)

2011-06-30T00:37:00.000-07:00

Just a bit of back ground on Molly's new home she went to join a red point Ragdoll , Goose, who was very depressed after having lost his litter mate , Mavirick to HCM. It had been very distressing to everybody in the family as he had his fatal attack while he was alone at home with Goose, When Laurey arrived home poor Maverick was in such pain the only thing the vets could do was put him to sleep. Goose then as his brother had to under go numerous test to check he wasn't in danger of suffering the same fate. So when they came to us it was very important that Molly was HCM negative to guard against any further distress for all concerned. They were very nervous when taking Molly home as how Goose would take to her as the new girl.

However this is the email I received yesterday with the photo's:-

As I said in the text Molly is wonderful. She loves being with Goose and also following us around wherever we go. She loves playing fetch - she has a little duck teddy which she brings to you when she wants to play. She has a big appetite and her and Goose wake me up every morning without fail asking for brekkie! She loves talking to us and I literally cannot do anything without her playing - when I sweep the floors in the morning she hangs off the brush, she hangs off my hand when I use the floor wipes, she grabs the washing when I am getting in ready to go in the washing machine, she just does not stop, ha, ha.

How could anyone even think of doing this!

2011-06-26T14:23:00.000-07:00

If you'e ever thought that declawing might be an option , please think again apart from the fact it is illegal in uk . it's barbaric and make me feel sick at the thought that anyone could mutilate there beloved pet in this way , it may be illegal in England but it is not uncommon in USA! See a few fact at http://bit.ly/aFKUQb .

Breakfast time with Bella and George!!

2011-06-26T14:02:00.001-07:00

Not my recommended diet for cats at Breakfast , but Bella and George seem to think that Glyn needs a bit of help!

After that you need a little nap with your housemate , Willow!

Fluff Ball :)

latest picture of one of Joy's kittens.

Herbie Update!

2011-06-23T05:35:00.000-07:00

Herbie was 5 months old on Tuesday, I can’t believe how quickly the time is going! He’s doing well. He’s extremely inquisitive and playful. He also loves biting my feet and hands In the mornings, he loves snuggling into my face and always tries to lick and nibble my nose! He follows me everywhere and loves drinking out of my ensuite tap! I bought him a water fountain recently which he loves. I have attached some pictures so you can see how he’s growing. Natalie x

Sad News!

2011-06-23T00:17:00.000-07:00

Had some very sad news yesterday one of Dora's babies from last year , has been killed on the road, it was a fair distance from his home and his owner felt far enough to be safe, they live down a very quiet lane that only leads to the church! but unfortunately to Milo 's cost it was not.
this is the note I received from poor Jo.

"I am devastated to tell you that we lost Milo on the road early this morning. We are so upset. He went out very early and we think he crossed the busy road when it was v quiet... I have never seen them venture that way before.
Anyway, so sorry we didn't look after your baby properly.. :(
I am spending a lot of time with Monty to make sure he is ok, he is meowing a little bit around the house, so I guess he is calling for Milo.They used to play together out in the long grass and it’s heart-breaking to see him all alone. "

I am sure like me your thoughts go out to Jo, John , Harry and of course Monty ( who has lost his brother) who are all understandably heartbroken at the lost of their beloved Milo, Please be careful for your babies sake when and where they are roaming , as it may be further than you think and they are really to gorgeously daft and innocent that they can get themselves into all sorts of trouble some that can be fatal!

May I also point out if you have a multi cat household and you lose one for whatever reason, I have found it does help if you can allow the others to see and sniff the body, otherwise they can get very stress looking for their buddy not knowing what has happened to them.

Joy's babies are growing fast

2011-06-19T06:28:00.000-07:00

Thought you might like to see a few more kitten photo's.

Happy Easter all! Well I've moved into times!!! Naomi started me twittering!!! I am also soon going to have a new website so things are moving along. Did anyone see my advert in the Your cat magazine? Let me know if you did I was really pleased with the way it looked.

We are starting to get big now!

The little darlings are now starting to get about and trying to play with the pompoms! Although they tend to be very amusing by missing and falling over

Handsome but Grumpy cat who needs new home!

2011-03-28T09:04:00.001-07:00

I have had this email from the owner of 2 of my ragdoll kittens "We have been having problem with Otis over the past few months, his bevaviour has been getting worse, he is bullying the kittens, lashing out of Harrison and making everyone miserable.We are taking the hard and painful decision to look at having him re-homed as he is obviously very unhappy with both the kittens and also Harrison.He is a one person cat and likes to be alone. I thought I would ask you if you know anyone that would perhaps want to take on a miserable ogre of a cat?!! "

Otis is and enormous cat , he is defiantly a loner who likes his own company and to be outside or knapping on the sofa. He has defiantly been upset by the arrival of a baby and although he tolerated and even allowed them to knap with him he has now decided he should put the 7 month old kittens in thier place - preferably nowhere near him!!! He may just feel misunderstood where he is, although I can't promise that!!!!!!! But if you think you would like to home this big boy then please contact me and I will put you in touch with Jo his owner.

Watch out ! watch out! There's a fox about!

2011-03-25T10:50:00.001-07:00

I have recently had one of my owner friends, Lisa, tell me an awful story that happened to Maisie one of my kittens , now 2 years old. They were all out in the garden of there town home one evening in September at about 6 o'clock, when Maisie who had been near a boarder let out a horrific scream, They rushed over to find a fox had her!! Luckily they managed to get her away from it, although her leg was damaged. This fox had been being feed by people and had got quite brave! When she asked around she discovered several cats in the vicinity had gone missing never to be seen again. Very Concerning and another good reason to keep your cats inside!! Maisie has recovered but it took some time as although it wasn't broken it was very bruised and battered. So she was limping for sometime but she had a very lucky escape.

HELP!!!!

2011-03-23T08:33:00.000-07:00

HELP! I need a permanent loving home for two full grown neutered Ragdolls, they must go together as they have never been apart. They are my Precious’s only set of kittens and have been living a life of luxury , unfortunately Charlie who owns them is relocating with her husband to Oman for 2-4 years and after much heart wrenching has decided it would be unfair on the pair to take them with them, as although they have pet passports, they do not recognize them over there so they would have to go into Quarantine for 6 months, which is not fair on the pair who are going to be 6 in September They are very big handsome lads and have been much pampered. They are very loving and lovable, up to date with all vaccinations and neutered,They come with all toys, litter trays etc. The only cost involved will be the fuel for me to collect from Cornwall , which according to the RAC calculater is approx £300!

Announcing Missy and Sopretty's litters!!!

2011-03-21T06:44:00.000-07:00

Missy has had 5 kittens, on Saturday the 5th March, 2 girls and 3 boys blue points and mitted although yet to know whether any of the girls are tortie's yet. She is an old hand and all went well. However , it was not the same for poor Sopretty! She had to have an emergency C-section on Monday the 7th March. as she only had a single kitten for her first pregnancy , it was now well over due and the placenta was breaking up! So we had no choice, the little kitten was very weak and it was touch and go for a few days, but luck was on our side and after 4 days of supplementary feeding every few hours on my side and lots on motherly loving we turned the corner and the tortie kitten started to put on weight. Now everybody is about the same weight, strong and appears to be doing well. Sopretty is fostering the smallest of Missy's kittens a blue point boy which works well for everyone.

All settled in!

2011-02-21T09:18:00.001-08:00

As you can see Tinkz has made herself very at home ! She has definatly won everybody over! I caught her mid yawn having just woken them in the 2nd photo which is why she looks so odd! But it was a great photo of Aslan our other new addition , I would like to introduce Aslan,evidently means lion in Turkish! He is the Cream mitted (and going to join Tyler as our other stud ). Aslan is in the first two photo's with Tinkz and Coco he's gorgeous and will be a very handsome big boy. He is as large as Tinkz but is 5 weeks younger!

More updated kitten photo's

2011-02-21T09:08:00.000-08:00

I thought you might like to see a few

photo's of Mia's two blue point kittens, that I managed to capture this weekend not easy as dispite being small they arre now moving fast!!!!!

Sorry I've not updated anything for ages!!

2011-02-18T04:55:00.000-08:00

Sorry to have abandoned you all for ages. Life has been hectic as ever and I haven't been well for several weeks! So really haven't had the time or energy to update you all.

Tyler has had his first litter of the year to my dear friend Emma's girl Mia, the photo's were taken a couple of weeks ago. But I'll take some new ones this weekend and pop on. As they are all staying with me while Emma is in New Zealand!

I have also just received my new stud, Aslan- in case you don't know it means Lion in Turkish! who is aabsolutly gorgeous a cream mitted boy only little now but is going to be a big handsome lad very soon! I will get some photo's of him for you all to see as well at the weekend.

Happy cats :-)

2010-12-18T04:53:00.000-08:00

Thought I ought to explain my surprise at finding these three snuggled up together! The one in the middle is Tinks ( sort for Tinkerbell) my new little queen! A bundle of mischievous love who has been entrusted to us by Denise of Esined Ragdolls. It is Precious to her left who doesn't think she is a cat, and hates everybody!!!! and walks around with her nose in the air hissing at any cat who invades her personal space and only just tolerates humans! A miraculous change has come over her since Tinks arrived, she loves her and has even been seen to play with her!!!! Derek says it's because she is part of the triangle gang ( bi-coloured) she has now become laid back with others like Ziggy who is on the right.

"They really are best of friends."

2010-12-03T14:12:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd just send you a quick catch up email to let you know how Doodles is getting on in her new home. She settled in really quickly and my daughter absolutely adores her.
She is never very far away from me apart from when she's spending time with Raphaela. She loves story time and going for rides in the buggy. Her favourite place to sleep is in the window, especially when we go out, so that she can keep and eye on what's going on out there, and be the first to see when we arrive home.

Archie and Tallulah

2010-10-07T00:56:00.000-07:00

I received the email below and couldn't resist asking if I could pop in and see them last Monday, Sharon kindly agreed , It was brilliant to have a cuppa and catch up with the kittens and meet Polly her gorgeous Seal Ragdoll.

"You were so right about Archie being a big boy, he is going to be huge, but he is by far the most fussy of the two. He loves to cuddle down at night on the bed and has such as loud purr, Tallulah will always be found not far away but is much more mischievious. They both love their food and if I didn't know any different I swear they were starved as kittens. Chicken is still the favourite and they quickly worked out where it is kept and everytime someone goes to the fridge they are behind you in a second.

They have been to the vets to be neutered and I expected them to be a bit groggy for a day or two but they were lively as crickets and chasing each other up and down the stairs the same eveing. The vet said not to feed them that evening but I had to give in as they were crying with hunger.

I'm so glad that we had the two of them together they are so funny to watch when they have their mad spells, but they do like to be with you all the time. They love to follow Russell out in the Garden and in the shed or garage and likewise when I'm there on my own they will happily follow me from room to room while doing the housework. Archie hated the hoover at first but he's slowly getting used to it. What is it with cats and changing beds, all 3 of them will appear from nowhere to hinder you!

I'm sure Missy would be very proud of her two beautiful babies"

Updates on Kittens- Sookie

2010-08-31T08:45:00.001-07:00

Just thought I'd give you a quick update since it's been a little while. Sookie has settled in really well and seems to be growing at quite a rate now, it's strange to think that it was only a couple of months ago she practically fit into one hand! It seems that anywhere in the house is fair game for Sookie to flop down for a nap whether this is our coffee table (which she only sleeps on when she thinks we can't see!), on the dining room chairs, or stretched out in her cat bed. I think it's done Mr Darcy the world of good to have some company. They chase each other all over the house and garden and there are plenty of playfights, which I think is keeping them both well excercised! Mr Darcy has also mastered the cat flap now with Sookie's help. We've even allowed them free reign of the house at night time now because they are so well behaved (other than the odd playfight on our bed at 3am!). Anyway here are some recent pictures. All the best, Laura and Neil

Quart in a pint pot

2010-07-29T11:27:00.000-07:00

Just had to share this picture with you all, it's Joy's suberb boy! Now 10 weeks old and getting really big. Talk about a ' Quart in a pint pot!' He was actually asleep in the wooden bowl when I first saw him, but of course by the time I had the camera on him he had woken up. He's not found his new family yet so please get in touch if you want to pop in and meet him. Be warned though you will fall in love with him!!!

Cheap ragdoll Kittens!!! Please think before you buy!!

2010-07-15T00:49:00.000-07:00

I'm going to have a little rant or plea from the heart now! I meet a lady yesterday, who had previously spoken to me about a ragdoll kitten but said she was unable to afford my prices. She was so pleased with herself as she had brought a Ragdoll kitten for £225 ! She had the kitten with her in the craft shop she was working in! It looked a cute little thing, my first instinct was to ask it's age because it was so tiny, she told me she had collected it last Friday and it is supposedly 8 weeks!!! Far to young to be away from it's mother, it appeared much smaller than Joy's kittens which are the same age and on the thin side for my liking! My question is that how did she think she had a bargain?! When she now has to pay for the vaccinations at least 2 lots of worming , flea treatment and another 6 weeks worth of food which was going to cost £150+. Also you are setting your self up for vet visits when they are taken away from parents so young! Without the four weeks free insurance cover which comes with most pedigree kittens in most cases!What decent breeder would allow this, the answer is none if they cared about the welfare of their cats, this breeder is only in it for the money and will have made far more profit than any registered breeder this way. On top of that because she has no papers, her cat is not registered with the GCCF or another approved body, she can't be absolutely sure that she has a pedigree Ragdoll, even if you've seen both parents that is not to say one or both of them haven't got local Moggie parents! You've also not idea how closely related the parents are they could be Mother and Son, brother and sister leading to the chances of all sorts of problems!! So please , please think about it before you part with your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sookie starts to settle in to her new home with Mr Darcy

2010-07-04T09:26:00.000-07:00

On Thursday, something quite funny happened! Darcy had gone into the garden and Sookie was sleeping, so I went out with him. Sookie woke up and was most put out to be left inside, so started miaowing and scratching very loudly at the door, but still half asleep with her eyes closed. I opened the door a little bit and Darcy went straight up to her whilst she still had her eyes closed (in the middle of an indignant miaow) and 'kissed' her nose! That seemed to be the ice breaker, and now each morning they have a mad half hour where they chase each other across the house like a Benny Hill sketch! Sookie also followed Darcy out into the cat run, so that is their new 'hang out' area. I figure that if they are happy enough to be in the cat run tunnel together they must be getting fairly comfortable with each other.

Darcy has still been a bit jumpy and everytime he got close enought to touch her, he'd then get scared and run off, but today he appears to be have got a bit braver... he's obsessed with Sookie's tail and has been trying to catch it for the last half hour and Sookie has just rolled over and let him (until the point where he decides to munch it!).

The other thing that we've found amusing is that Sookie has rejected her Pro Plan and instead periodically grazes at Darcy's dry food bowl in full view of him, then climbs into his litter tray... Darcy seems to have accepted this however, and returns the favour by finishing off her wet food as soon as he's finished his.

Harley and Maisie

2010-06-04T09:35:00.000-07:00

Had a lovely message this afternoon from Lisa who last year had Maisie, blue point female, one of Joy's kittens, Her sister Emma had Harley, blue mitted male with white tail tip, one of Missy's litter . As both litters were borm at the same time the kittens were all brought up together as one big litter with two Mum's!

Just got back from vets with Maisie and Harley for there annual jabs. They were as good as gold bless them. Maisie is at my mum's now for a few hours to play with Harley then when she comes back later on, no doubt Harley will be here for a while....

Maisie has settled in very well in our new house and being that it is only 5 minutes drive from Harley means they see each other no less then 4 times a week which is lovely. They are still very close and adore being with each other but thankfully Charlie and Maisie have built up a good relationship as well because he went off her when we lost Tess and Milo in November. As you can see Maisie has a lovely big garden now to play in every day, she loves the pond with the fish - TOO MUCH!!! Maisie is really starting to look like her mum which I am so happy about as I fell in love with Joy the moment I saw her. Maisie is starting to get really fluffy. She was as a kitten but then lost it to a silky coat. She is now turning into a fluff ball ever so cute. I am sure but sure I would have all of Joy's litter as she is lovely.

Forgot to say actually about how big Harley is! He is growing forever, the longest legs that dont stop. Once he starts to fill out in next couple of years he will be amazing as he is so dopey and big! Maisie is a proper little madam so cute but into EVERYTHING. She really thinks she is the boss, to the point if we say 'Maisie, No!' we get a mouthful back of her, funnniest thing ever. She is so so clever, love her to bits!!!

Buddy and Tiny Update

2010-06-03T03:32:00.000-07:00

Remember sometime back we had to rehome 2 of Peaces kittens, Buddy and Tiny well I've had an update and some lovely photo's from Julie , including some of them discovering the garden . However I thought I would share these with you of Buddy in a beautiful crossed paw pose, them Playing in a mat Although I think that perhaps should be entitled "Isn't it your turn on the bottom now!" or " Found You!" and Tiny really making her self at home for a quick nap, it's so great to see them happy in their new home.

Max and Merlin discover out doors!

2010-05-26T03:24:00.001-07:00

I had a lovely email from Tony and Kareen last night which I thought you would like to see the latest from their kittens who were from KT's litter last September so they are now 7 months old!

Having escaped out of both front and back doors several times our two now seem to think that they are outdoor cats and demand to go out now, with Merlin being especially vocal. They've been out in the garden but it never seems to be enough, although the promise of chicken soon brings them back inside. Merlin has also met next doors 16 year old tabby, who though she can barely walk, saw him off in an instant. Merlin has also had his first little mishap this weekend when he poked himself in the eye with something that scratched his cornea. Fortunately the antibiotic cream has cleared it up quickly and there were no secondary effects, but it had us worried for a while. True to breed type he just laid there while I opened his eye and put the cream in it. The final check with the dye this evening was funny as it ran from his eye out of his nose so when the vet turned on the UV light he had a luminous nose! Both of them are still growing of course (Merlin is now 4.5kg and Max 4.9kg) and they still seem to be getting heavier every day - especially when they jump on you first thing in the morning. I also thought I'd let you have a couple of photos to see how they are looking now. The light isn't that great in the house so having them outside in the sunshine yesterday was too good an opportunity to miss to get the camera out.

Update on Joy's kittens

2010-05-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

After a worrying start all of Joy's kittens are thriving. The little girls opened their eye at 7 days! ( which is early ) however we are still waiting for the boys at 10 days!! They are all such big strong kittens, on the move around the box and feeding well, now it seems odd that this time last week I was concerned they might not even make it. Fingers crossed they will all keep up the good progress.

Missy's kittens are now 7 weeks old

Joy's kittens arrive!!!

2010-05-15T02:08:00.000-07:00

Very Busy Week! In which Joy finally had her kittens Wednesday night! Very difficult birth poor thing. She was odd all day yesterday, at lunch time she actually took my hand in her mouth and lead me to the bottom of the stairs, we went to sit on the bed but as nothing appeared to be happening I went back to work. Whilst I was in the bath last night she stood up and grabbed my arm with her paw and when I put my hand out she again grabbed it in her mouth and tried pulling me out of the bath. Finally about to she woke me by sitting on me in bed and letting birthing fluid soak me. The Problem turned out to be that just a tail was protruding and disappearing again. As it was middle of the night I tried what the vet told me last time and popped my two fingers in and managed to manipulate it enough after several more painful pushes we managed to deliver a live kitten between us! But that really started her off on the wrong foot as it obviously really hurt her. 2 was not to bad but 3 didn't arrive until 4 ish and was the same way around and gave me a real scare as it was Blue when we got that one out but and cough and a sneeze after some firm rubbing and it was in the land of the living. But this time I needed the loo! but she wasn't going to be left and actually left the kittens to come with me which concerned me. Number 4 arrived about 5, so we both collapsed exhausted and she slept with her head on my pillow whilst the babies snuzzzled in . Again when I got up at 7 she insisted on visiting bathroom with me but ran between us every time the kittens squeaked so I have put her in a cage with them whilst I sort the rest out and do the bedlinen washing! Fingers crossed we get no pneumonia in the babies after their traumatic start. We are now on day 3 and they are all looking fat and round and appear to be feeding well.

First Solid Food!

2010-05-03T04:26:00.001-07:00

All fun and games this end the babies are now very mischievous and exploring everywhere and everything is a toy! Other
excitement this week is that the little ones have started on solid food , liquidised roast chicken and rice. This may look good but I'm not sure were the most went in them on them or me as they tend to stand in the plate then clamber over me leaving a thin layer of gunk which sets solid!

Weeks old!

2010-04-26T06:02:00.000-07:00

Well this was a funny sight went into see them and Missy was feeding all 7 in this small cat bed! A very tight squeeze! The blue kittens in the centre looks a bit odd because Missy decided he needed a bit of a lick just as I was trying to take the photo so his face is still damp and all over the place! As you can see they are all growing well and in fact little Titch now weighs the most! That's him on the outside of the bed.Tried to give them a dish of milk a couple of days ago only Titch almost got the hang of it sort of ! He did much sneezing as he tried to suckle it up! Then realised he could lap it however it appeared the only way he could do this was by lying in the plate and lapping around himself. VERY MESSY so I'll leave it a little while before I try that again! Sorry didn't have the camera to hand at the time to record it for you all!

Day 22- active little cuties!

2010-04-19T01:12:00.000-07:00

Well , thought I had better let you see some more photo's, as they are growing up fast, they now look more like kittens than aliens , and are starting to play with each other. We have moved them into a bigger box from the bed as poor Missy couldn't lay down to feed them in it because there are so many of them. I'm now giving them all a little extra feed to help her out. So now as soon as they hear my voice there is a rush to try and climb out of the box to be first in the queue for the milk! They are all weighing between 320- 340gms so not far off the weight of her kittens last year at the same age. So so far so good!

Tea with Neko and Zena

2010-04-18T01:13:00.001-07:00

Debz couldn't make our get together last Sunday and so kindly asked me for a cuppa whilst I was in Cambridge last Wednesday. I took masses of photo's but just had to share with you a few. They are both growing well and still have more to do!

Zena (Little Missy) Then and now !!

2010-04-18T01:04:00.001-07:00

Those of you who have been with the blog from the start will remember Little Missy, Zena she was from Missy's last years little who fell ill at 3 weeks and it was all touch and go for a bit. Well I

went to visit her early in a week, she is gorgeous and really turned out to be a superb big ragdoll! The picture below is her at 3 weeks, a real cutie even then

I NOW HAVE A PREFIX !!!

2010-04-12T06:44:00.000-07:00

My paperwork has just arrived from the GCCF ( Governing Council of Cat Fanciers) with my prefix- all my kittens registered names will now start with TZKATZ . Which should be read Tz Katz ( T's Cats) I'm so happy, not my first choice but so close I am not bothered!

We're two weeks old now

2010-04-12T01:49:00.000-07:00

Missy's 7 are growing well and starting to explore around the bed, occassionally even falling out into the main cage although I'm not sure that is always intended! They are starting to show a bit of colour one definatly going to be a red and a few are showing mittens!

Look who came to Tea!

2010-04-12T01:26:00.000-07:00

Elphie- Joy's 2009 kitten

George - Missy's Red point 2009

Bella- Missy's 2009 mitted Girl

We had an exciting afternoon yesterday, I had a tea party and get together which George and Bella, Missy's litter last year and Elphie Joy's litter last year all returned to visit. It was great to see them all back again and see what fabulous cats they are growing up to be. They were all a year on the 12th March 2010 so still got plenty more growing to do!

We've Got our eyes open!

2010-04-07T10:20:00.000-07:00

Well on Tuesday one had half an eye open now today two have their eyes completly open and two more have one eye open! The rest will follow soon!Thought you might like to see their size compaired to Theo's ( 13 year old ) hands.

Easter Sunday - Day 8 We're all doing so well!

2010-04-04T08:13:00.001-07:00

Well, here we are on Day 8 and everybody is doing so well. I have been giving Titch some supplementary feeds during the day and he's now nearly 150g so he's got a fighting chance now. Fatso is 180g and the rest are all around 170g! Poor Missy is constantly feeding and cleaning them all , but I managed to get a shot today while she was grabbing a bite to eat herself. Their colours are starting to show a bit more now.

Day 4- see how we grow!

2010-04-01T00:15:00.001-07:00

Well we've all made it to day 4, Titch is still small but gaining weight little by little, he's made it to 105g today still 30g less than the rest but he's going in the right direction. so fingers crossed!

Day 3 and all is well

2010-03-30T12:43:00.001-07:00

Well so far so good! I weighed them all and they have all put on a bit of weight they range from 93g to 111gm. So fingers crossed we are on the right track.

Proud Mummy!

2010-03-29T02:28:00.000-07:00

Well it's day 2, and they all appear to be feeding and she is so proud of herself! She rolled over when I got the camera out so I could get all 7 in the picture!

They have arrived!!!!!!

2010-03-28T07:48:00.000-07:00

Well what a day it's been! about 5 this morning Missy woke me yet again all restless having had a show yesterday afternoon. She later produced the first 2 kittens almost simultaneously with out a placenta in between, clean them up and number 3 arrived a little break, much pushing and a tail appeared , then disappeared repeated this a few times then a single foot ( not a good sign) But after a lot of effort and a squeal out popped number 4, Number 5 then arrived the right way around but a little distressed at the wait. We were all exhausted and she settled down to clean and feed them . so I moved her to the cage stripped my bed , where is insisted on having them in between my legs ( not pleasant, but she the most important one to be happy!). Put them all in the wash , Returned to find her pushing again , and to my surprise out came number 6! after settling them all I decided to go an have a cuppa with a friend and show them the photos. Just went in to take some more and check on everybody, couldn't believe my eyes had to count several times to confirm it there are 7 clean little ones feeding away!!!!!!!!!!! So fingers crossed now they can make it through hurdle number 2 the first week.

AN EMAIL FROM TINY

2010-03-18T01:29:00.000-07:00

Just thought i'ld sent you a picture of myself Tiny x. ( by the way mummies thinking about changing our names, might be Katie, Lulu, Penny or Poppet!! As for my brother, he could be Bob, Sam, Tom or Twiz ( what do you think??) xx

Hi Tiny,
We all know that we humans give you names and you have your own cat names that are secert from us. But if Mummy wants to change your names that's fine by me and we all know that if you don't like it you'll ignore it !!! I once had a kitten that had a large patch on it's nose so it got called sploj , he obviously never liked it and totally ignored you when called by it as soon as we changed it to cfor ( as in c for cat) he used to come running when called! So good luck with the new names let us know which one you like best , Poppet and Twiz are the ones I probably would have chosen for you myself! But then what do I know!!! Tx

News from Tony on Max and Merlin

2010-03-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to say that Max and Merlin have quickly recovered from their Neutering Ops and are back to normal, although not quite as manic! I thought you'd also like a couple of pictures to show how they are getting on. They are still growing and I think Max especially is going to be a very big boy. There is now nowhere in this place that is safe from them - the one on the cupboard is a good case in point. They have to scramble up the chimney breast then cross the room on one of the beams about 8 feet up to get there. I've got my heart in my mouth every time I see them do it, especially when they start fighting at that height. Cheers, Tony.............

Happy Tiny And Buddy

2010-03-17T08:52:00.001-07:00

Had to send you this, how cute!! They are really happy here, and we love them very much. SO naughty!!! God into every thing Julie x

Update on Buddy and Tiny

2010-03-08T00:20:00.000-08:00

I collected this lovely pair from their home on Saturday, there was a very tearful farwell well from poor Maggie who decided that it was best for them to be rehomed. However, the good News is that by Sunday evening they we safely in their new home with a couple who are going to love them to bits. Although Buddy and Tiny were nervous having lived in the flat with Maggie for over 18 months, as soon as they meet the couple that might rehome them it was love at first sight , Buddy instantly took to the gent who made a big fuss of him. Tiny was a little more reserved but once enouraged to come out from under the cupboard was happy to lap up the attention she was given. As soon as the promised photo's arrive I'll let you see them.
