A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

 

 

Rosie is quite the little lady, and very curious about everything.  No box is left unexamined! 

Her favorite thing to do is make sure we wake up bright and early for breakfast.  If she feels you are trying to ignore this ... she will come up and tap you until she gets her way. 

She loves to play and treat time rides high on her list of favorite activities.  In a nut shell ... she is doing awesome!

 

 

This is Wyatt & Howie who is just the most WONDERFUL kitty.  He is just gorgeous and is a total buddy. 

He loves everyone, loves to play fetch, and follows me everywhere.  He now wears a bell.  

He also remains quite the talker.  His favorite word is chicken which starts a flurry of chatter until he gets it. 

I always say chicken over and over in the morning to get my son out of bed.  We call it the Howie alarm.

 

 
 
Thank you for allowing me to adopt this wonderful member into my family. He is the sunshine in my life, the reason I wake in the morning, and come home early at night. He is always waiting for me at the door when I come home even if I was only gone long enough to check the mail or empty the trash. He always acts as if he hasn't seen me in days. I love that feeling!!! He keeps me company and I would have to say sane.

We do so much stuff together, mostly because he always follows me around the house. I go to the kitchen and turn around and he is sitting behind me just looking up as if saying "Is it dinner time again?" He never lets me out of his sight for long. When he thinks it is bedtime and I get up, he runs past me and jumps up on the chair I keep beside my bed so he can get up there, and jumps up on my bed and lays on my pillow. His little motor just a running. I can hear it from one end of the house to the other.

He is so comfortable here now and he loves to sprawl out on his back and his legs going every which way.  He is truly an angel in my eyes, and I thank you for allowing him to be with me.
Thank you very much,
Warren

 

 

Isabella (Izzy) helped decorate the tree this year. We decided not to put any breakables on the bottom branches.  Untangling the lights was a bit of a challenge as Isabella was particularly interested in this  procedure.  Her help with the Christmas wrap was not appreciated, but we couldn't fault her enthusiasm. She loves Christmas and is Jim's constant companion. 
 
She has brought Jim much joy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

A kitty & his kid..................

 

He discovered my reproduction quill pens the other day...I have several in an old inkwell (no ink in it) and he took great delight in removing one at a time and flying through the house with it in his mouth.

Here he is in his bed on my desk with the quill pen. He's playing fetch now in addition to hide and seek and continually entertains us with his adorable antics and his cuddly, loving nature.

Barbara, This is no surprise, but Sky fits in with this family like he has been a part of it for years.  He is a blast to be around. Sky is really cool, loves to play and eat and sleep and sleep.   He enjoys our company and we enjoy his.   He is curled up beside my desk chair this minute.    We are totally sold on Ragdoll Cats.  If we ever get another, it will be one that you have raised.  He was 6 months old yesterday and weighs about 11 pounds.  Larry and Bren

 

 

 

Wiggles has settled in quickly and does amazingly well with the kids.  She has been sleeping well at night after running around with our two-year old all day, while the other kids are at school.  Then they take over when they get home.  

She sneaks away to one of her favorite chairs for a quick nap whenever she gets the chance.  She certainly doesn't lack for attention (giving or receiving).

We are very happy with our new little girl and I think she is pretty happy with us too.  We'll stay in touch.

 

We have never had a pet before and this kitty has been the perfect pet!! Richard will do anything for her-she loves to play hide and seek every day with him and she really can find some great hiding places.

We also take her with us in the motor home and she is a super traveler-she has traveled all the western states and when she sees us taking her things out to the motor home she sits at the back door just waiting!!!

 


 

Just wanted to tell you what a dream Micio is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   We are amazed at this kitty – he is a dream come true and we can’t believe how lucky we are.  Janet

Winkies has been the best we could have asked for!  The whole family loves her, my kids fight over who gets to play with her next. She loves the toy, Cat Dancer.

You are a great breeder and our relatives that have seen her want to take her home.

Thank You for her, hope you like the pictures and we’ll keep in touch…

After just a few days, Stella seems to be settling in great.  After a few obligatory hisses at the dogs, she's decided they're not so bad.  In fact, they're pretty soft & cuddly.

Thanks again for the super kitten.  She's awesome.

Hi Barbara!
Even though I didn’t know you before we got Leo, I feel as though I have known you forever! I have looked at dozens of Ragdoll sites on the internet and just had a feeling come over me that you were the one! Boy was I right!

Getting our kitten from you has been a pleasure! Michael and I still talk about all the love and care you put into your kittens and how meticulously you had everything done for our kitten.

Not just basic things like the paper work but sending him with all the little extra loving touches, right down to the toys and his baby blanket! And let me tell you, IT SHOWS!

Leo has been so well adjusted right from day one! It has been obvious that he came from a loving breeder who truly cares about doing things right! We are so very in love with our Leo. He has been fun from the minute we got him! He is so affectionate, so smart and so sweet! He is a total love!

Everyone warned me he might cry through the first few nights but they were all wrong. From the very first night he just laid there and purred! He uses his litter box and scratching post and gives us no problems at all! The girls love him to bits and fight over who gets to hold him. Leo just purrs and lets them pass him back and forth and back and forth. He is always gentle with them! I can’t believe how beautiful he is.

Everyone who has seen him says he is the prettiest kitten they have ever seen! I am so thankful to see that there are still people like you in the world who are doing the best that can be done at what they do! Michael and I were just saying the other day, “With Barbara, Ragdoll breeding is something that she takes very seriously, something that she is passionate about and is committed to doing the right way.” I know we will have years of happiness with our Leo and will always be thankful for you, With love, Lynnette Winn

 

Hi, Barbara!

 

I was expecting a wonderful kitty but Sugar Baby’s so much more than that!!!!  She’s so lovable and sweet, she’s very smart!, and she’s so much FUN!  She really has made herself at home and it’s just a joy having her here with us.  She’s constantly purring except when she’s sleeping! 

 

The only problem I foresee is leaving her home alone - maybe I’ll have to retire (hahaha)!!  Actually, I’ll start with little doses tomorrow afternoon when I go to the grocery store.  I can’t even leave her in a room alone without her crying for me – as long as she can see me and get to me, she’s happy as can be!  Of course, we’ve been “attached” all day today!  She made big friends everywhere we went today – my niece’s running camp, my office and a friend’s office, the vet’s…what fun!! 

 

This morning, Larry found her sleeping between his two pillows, flat as a pancake and purring when he took her out!  She slept thru the night, under the covers, behind my head, on the nightstand in a little bitty space between some books. 

 

You’ve raised an incredibly special little pet for us…thank you so much, Barbara.

 

Purrs,

Debbie

 

 

 
Dear Barbara,

Lacey arrived pretty promptly last night, and my Mother loved her from the minute she saw her!  When we got home she went exploring and inspecting all over, and when she chose a spot on the sofa and received her pets, we heard her marvelous purr.

Mom said she had a good night and today we went to the veterinarian.  Lacey was quite a celebrity and all agreed her beauty and demeanor was unparalleled.  She is so sweet, relaxed and content!!  And healthy, the vet concurred.

You know Barbara, my Mother lives alone and has many solitary hours.  Lacey will bring her so much in so many ways, and  I am very grateful for this wonderful, perfect, cat!  We haven't really told the kids yet, as we want Lacey settled in and bonded before too many visitors, but I know she will be loved by all.

Mom is absolutely thrilled, so I wanted to let you know and take one more opportunity to say Thank You, Amy

We were on your website the other night and our kitten was looking at the cute pictures of your kittens.  She loved pawing at the little butterflies on the screen.  It was so cute I took a picture of it.  She was looking at her new sister to be :)

Dear Barbara,
    Thank you so much for letting me adopt Jaspurr!  I am so fortunate to have him and Sadie.  I dearly love them both.  Jaspurr, with Sadie close behind him, follows me everywhere....even to sitting patiently close by while I'm in the shower, just waiting for me to finish.  As a matter of fact, both Jaspurr and Sadie, together, give the word "underfoot" a brand new meaning; they are, literally, underfoot constantly.  

     I've sat down and meditated for years; now I find that I move more slowly and consciously in everything I do when at home, being always aware of each movement so as not to step on either of them.  It takes the three of us to do anything and everything ... even to making up the bed every morning (where we all sleep!).  Our home life is quiet and peaceful and full of love.

     Last night, they were waiting together at the window for me when I returned home.  We three are bonding for life.  Never have I had it so good!!

    After dinner, both Sadie and Jaspurr sit on on my lap ... Jaspurr up close and personal, laying his head on my arm.... Sadie either laying on my legs or wrapped around my shoulders.  I already know this can't go on forever as they will weigh too much when they're fully grown, but it's wonderful right now.  

     Anyway, I rock and they sleep, and we're all happy.  I heard Jaspurr purr last night for the first time and it touched my soul.  I do believe he's happy and has accepted his new home.  He's a very special cat and so very beautiful, too.  Both he and Sadie have adopted me, as I have them, and we're all happy.  Thank you so much.

 
Love,
Dolores

 
Mousse has settled in great and we are just loving him to pieces.  He flew home without a single peep.  Used his litter box right away and uses his scratching posts really well  also.  He has the most wonderful personality, he lets the kids carry him everywhere.  Loves to chase everything across our wood floors and slide from one end of the house to the other.  He would have nothing to do with staying in one room for more than a day and quickly acquainted himself with our whole house and our dog Riley.  They became fast friends, although Riley thinks Mouse is a little to active for his 14 years.  But when Mousse is ready to nap Riley always has a spot warmed up for him.  He is incredibly mischievous and jumps into any open cupboard, purse, suitcase or box and has become quite an escape artist that we have to watch very closely every time we go outside.  I can't begin to thank you making our family complete again.  Mousse almost has as many toys as the kids!  He is also growing so fast!!

 

Rocky and Jamey.  They are getting along really well.  Rocky has adjusted to the family and walks around like royalty.  Guess that's what happens when you treat him like a King!!  Thanks again so much he is a huge asset to our family.
