I want to be the only kitten! Story of Baloo

We see lots of kittens, most of them produced in this home, and some we get from other breeders. I truly beleive that there is perfeect home for every cat – there are no bad cats, and no bad owners, there are wrong homes for the right cats!

Baloo was one of those gorgeous kittens which stands out of the litter. You enter the room and you see just him and do not pay attention to others. Shortly after he turned 8 weeks we noticed that he did not want human interaction as much as other kitties did.  He was OK, just did not want us to pick him up.

He was sold long distance and i was worried that I did not see his future owners, so probably that is why we worked really hard on him accepting human interactions. at about 10 weeks we had a chance to take our kittens to the Vancouver Film School for the shoot out for CD covers but Baloo said – nope, I am staying home, so we left the most gorgeous kitten at home and took the rest of the litter with us!

O well, we worked and worked and had loud music and I would ask everybody to handle him and finally we started to see big improvement. Around 11 weeks he was not as shy and by 12-13 weeks he was actually looking at us humans saying – OK, you can touch me ;)

Here are the words from his owner:

“He’s not shy at all anymore even with strangers. He loves to lounge all day on his back and he is a purring machine. The hippo is his favourite toy which he loves to wrestle with. We absolutely love him.. He’s about 8 lb now, twice as heavy as when we brought him home.”

Here is the pictures – just one more say, there is always right home for the cat!

And my most favoutire – Baloo is half brother to Milo, they have the same Mom, and first look at that picture I was like – Milo???

Featured story – Sully

13982603_600

I start this story 2 years or so ago when Michelle called me asking for a kitten. I had first time mom expecting so Michelle put deposit on the Ragdoll kitten. The labor was hard and 2 kittens did not make it, and only 3 survived, and one of them looked totally odd with funny shaped blaze going across the nose.

Michelle picked that one even though he was one of the most mismarked kittens we produced at that time.

So Skye Blue went to live with Michelle and family and I got lots of feedback about him, including funny pictures from the facebook.

About a year later Michelle showed up again saying that now her husband wants a kitten and she is not leaving without one. Funny how things work – sometimes we do not have kittens, sometimes we have unsold kittens, but that one day Michelle showed up at our house we had one unsold boy, out of Tuck and Rumble, which was not quite ready to leave us yet. Michelle convinced me she will bring him back for second shot and left with Sully, seal bi-color boy in her hands.

Sully grew into HUGE cat. How huge he is you ask? O well, he is now 9 month old and weights 16 pounds. Mind you, he is not fat, just large and big boned. Just see for yourself!

Back from Regional

DSC_0027

 

We are back from our Regional show in Bellevue, WA. Nice show for our Purrminator – with 8 Ragdoll cats in competition he scored 3 all breed finals – 8th best from Robby Whyte, 6th best from Edith -Mary Smith and 9th best from Connie Web. Many of the judges commented on his balance – interesting how cats change – he was this wobbly boy about a month ago and progressed so much and matured nicely!

Milo, our alter out of Lillie and Rio, did 6th best in Yvonne Patricks ring, 10th best in Linda-Jean Grillo and 9th best in Melissa Parsley’s ring! way to go, Milo, against best Ragdoll alter of the last season and new star here from Kissycats cattery named Riley whose beauty we all admired during the show!

Dasha did get Junior Exhibitor of the year for NW region as well as best JE in NW, Matthew did second best JE in NW region! Hugaragdoll Fruitcake was best blue mitted ragdoll in NW region and Hugaragdoll  Peaches and Cream was best seal bi-color tortie in the region. At that, Fruitcake is now Double Grand Champion and Peaches is Grand Champion, we are really proud of them!

So back home to all our nice kitties – they grew so much! My favourite girl, Calypso, missed me so much – we are back, do not worry, Calypso.

Here is my Calypso, beauty in white!

Introducing Stella McCartney

WEB_118

 

Today I received professional pictures of our new star – Stella McCartney. Stella is Lillielime’s  and Emporio’s daughter and she went out of this home once, to Tuckwilla show, where she championed against 8 other Ragdolls with 9th best in Canie Brooks ring.

Stella is our example of what floppy Ragdoll should be.  She gets limp and kind of hangs in your hands when you pick her up. She thinks she is a dog, or rather our dogs think she is a cat, and she sometimes grooms our dogs!

Here are some of her shots – way to go, Stella!
