You won't believe what a little beauty our little one has become! I will take a new photo as soon as I can catch her in a good "pose" and send it to you. She has grown completely out of her "runt" stage - and is becoming more and more fluffy and beautiful every day. She is a purr factory....she presses up so hard when you go to pat her on the head that she flips onto her back and falls! She's hilarious. We regularly call her Princess and Miss Fluff and Beauty Queen...she is absolutely gorgeous! She is also learning to master the art of the Ragdoll flop! She flops all over the place - in the oddest and most uncomfortable positions too! The size of her paws is quite frightening....she must have a lot of growing into them to do...maybe she'll take after William and become a very big kitty! She is very, very loving and gentle. Any time Madison pulls her onto her lap - she promptly settles in goes to sleep. She seems to prefer kids! She and Lili get along very well - they play and cuddle and Lili grooms Daphne. Kirsten

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!! He is THE most adorable kitty I have seen! He is making himself right at home and following me from room to room and talking. love, L.

Here is a recent flop of our boy Sentimental Beau Dudley Rag a.k.a. Dudley or Dud (also Milo before we picked a permanent name). He's doing great and being spoiled and loved! We thought you'd like to see this recent picture of him. He's quite the boy that's for sure! That's all for now! Beryl, Kelsey and Sheena

Last night Kirmy was playing with his toy mouse and Lady just lied there and watched him and then Kirmy scooted the mouse over to her and watched while she played with it. Tiger seems to be kind of fatherly toward her. She is a wonderful kitty she is so friendly, we just love her, she makes a wonderful addition to our family. Darlene

Mateo is about 9 months old now and 14lbs !!! He is absolutely gorgeous!! And what a sweetheart he is!! I am very very happy with him, and hope to someday get another baby from you, as he is just purrrrfect! Thank you again, J

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know just how much I love my new baby. I named her Sassy. I don't know what I ever did with out her I love her so much. She is the most beautiful kitten I have ever seen and so good natured. My other cat is getting used to her and starting to warm up to her. When you told me that after you own a Ragdoll you will want another one, well I can see that coming, but we won't tell my husband!!! Take care & thank you for all the joy that this kitten has brought to my life. D

Montague has made himself at home and has bonded with Joan. He sleeps a lot, often snuggling in on her lap. He is very active when awake and loves to play with his toys - need I say that one of his favorites is a cotton spool on a piece of string! He has been no trouble at nights, sleeping in his bed in his own room. He eats and drinks a lot and seems to be growing each day. Kind Regards, S

I named him Remington finally and he has settled well into our household. Our old girl Smudge has accepted him very well, almost acting as a surrogate mother. She lets him curl up beside her and that is often where we find him when we come home. Our 4 yr old Max has had his nose out of joint a little. At first he kept his distance. Then he started watching Rem play with a look that said "I remember doing that - kind of looks like fun - maybe I should try it". Tonight the two have been chasing around together in some good natured play. Rem is growing already, eating well, and getting along great. He sleeps curled up by my head at night and stays there quietly for the whole night. I love my new kitten - thanks for giving him such a good start. Will keep in touch, Bob

Hi, just thought I would let you know that the new kitten is doing wonderfully! We called him Calvin because he is smart and a little devilish. He sleeps on my pillow all night (and only attacks me about once a night). He is still a little unsure about the dog, however he approaches him to check him out whenever the dog is sleeping, (which is all the time). In two weeks they will be good friends, my dog really likes cats. Calvin is very friendly and approaches anyone who comes over. Thanks again, he is the sweetest thing! Michelle

I wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying Duchess. She is the sweetest thing! She's been sleeping in our bed at night, and she keeps waking us up with the non stop purring. It's just too precious. She is adjusting well, and isn't crying very much anymore. She loves to jump and play and is wearing me ragged trying to keep up. She also loves to cuddle and I'm sure she would do it all day if I would let her. She gets quite upset when I decide it's time to stop. Thank you soooo much for Duchess. Warmest regards, Theresa

He's gotten so BIG, and his coloring is just gorgeous. I could sit here and write you pages upon pages of how adorable he is, but I think you'd rather see the pictures! lol Hope all is well with you. Jen

Just to let you know that Stanley is doing fine and has adapted well to his new home. Have you sold the last kitten yet ? (If I had the money I would buy another one...) Drew

I can't tell you (well, actually I can - and will) how happy we are with Winston. I can't imagine ever switching breeds (or breeder). Winston is - and I know this sounds a bit goofy - probably as close as one to get to "the ideal pet," if such a thing exists. I say this having been a pet owner for, well, I guess since I've been born (although I've only had cats for the past 30 years). :-) He is playful, overflowing with personality, and more affectionate that any pet I have ever had (and I have had very affectionate pets). My husband - who was undergoing very invasive cancer treatment at the time that we adopted Winston, and is, how can I put it? a rather "tough guy" - has turned into coo-ing father with Winston. We adore him. It would be impossible not to. If people think that docility means lack of character they are misled. Winston overflows with character! I brush his coat regularly (which he likes) as you know, they require little grooming. What can I say? Greg and I say he is like a cross between a teddy bear and a puppy. My friends are simply wild for him. Ragdoll = the family pet of the future! Best wished to you and your family, L

Dropping you a quick update on "Cocoa" She is such a cutie and has adjusted well to our family. She is very playful, and is a very good sleeper. the kids, just adore her, and of course, my husband thinks she is absolutely adorable. However, he won't admit it to the "guys" haha. Our dogs are still scared of her, and avoid her at all times, they are 10 times bigger. Once again, thank you for such a wonderful addition to our family. Pam

Good morning, Asa was great on the way home. I did put him in his carrier as he was too curious. He went right to sleep and stayed that way for most of the ride. He woke up once or twice, looked around and went back to sleep. We got him settled in and you're right - he was all over me. Right now he's curled up on me while I type - he's tired from all the playing. He cried last night @ 1:30 for about 1 minute and that was it. Oh, he's sound asleep. He's eating, drinking water and using his kitty litter no problem. So mommy and baby are doing just fine. It was great to meet you yesterday. Thank you for my little Asa. He's adorable. Pauline

Just a note to update you on wee Monty & not-so-wee Winston. Everything is wonderful. They play together and can often be found sleeping together and grooming each other. Monty is the THE most affectionate cat we've ever had (and Winston is very affectionate) - but Monty will not leave us alone - all of us. He made himself at home the instant he arrived and that was that. He is, as you can imagine, VERY lively. We have to watch leaving any food uncovered and alone. He wants to eat everything (no I don't let him) whereas with Winston, I could leave a platter of fish and chicken on the table and he wouldn't go near it. We are in love with both of them. I could clearly see how well-loved your wonderful cats and kittens are. All the best, Leatrice

Gizmo is doing really well. Growing like a bad weed. I don't know what we did for entertainment before we got him. thanks again and I'll talk to you soon Lori

Just a quick email to let you know that everything is going really good here. Fairytails is feeling right at home and is on me almost all the time. She keeps the couch nice and warm for me. She is eating and drinking like she should be and she is such a good girl. She has even been playing around with some little toys I got her. She jumps around and bats them from one side of the room to the other. Most of the time she is just relaxing though. Thanks so much! From , Jess

Hello, We pray for you and hope each day will be better. Like you I live one day at a time. I love my cats/kittens and the ones I love the most are the ones from you. They were the ones that got me started and you have always been my mentor in all of this. You were the one that trusted your babies with us and we love them. May god help you and be with you in this time of need, We pray for you. Linda/Fred

I have not wrote to you in soo long , I have lost your address and now I got a hold of it again. Dolly is one year old now ( her birthday was on the 7-th this month), she is soo beautiful and a handful of course ...she plays all day ( if we give her the attention ) she loves to have us play with her . She sleeps in my bed and she wakes me up when is time for me to go to work ( even on the weekend ) . She loves kids , we have our little nice visit and they have so much fun playing .Her color is so beautiful and she is so smart , we love her so much ,I can't imagine not having her ... I just have to say thank you so much and all the best with the Ragdolls, you are doing a great job ! Love, Dolly and Marcela

Our girl is a blue point, born March 27, 2004. Give our prayers to Rose and remind her of the joy her kitten has given our family. Happy Holidays Romina and Mark

First of all, I hope all is going well with you!! Dallas is doing wonderfully. He gets more beautiful every single day. Have to add, he is quite spoiled. Sleeps between me and Gary most nights too. All the very best of wishes for the New Year!! Catrina & Dallas

Rose, I purchased one of your blue mitted female Ragdolls back in July 2001. I love her to death. I would like to get her a friend. Please let me know. Thank you very much. Helen

It was my pleasure to see you again and talk to you and your husband. You were a such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the Genetics. I learned a lot from you and I'll be asking you some more questions as time passes. It was nice talking cats with you both. We didn't get home until 12 am because the I made the mistake of taking the Rainbow Bridge. I was 2 hours trying to get across the bridge. By the time I got things settled here it was after 2 am before I went to bed. They are both beautiful and will make great addition to our cattery. Thank You!! I almost wished you a happy 4th of July and then I realized that Canadians celebrate the 1st of July. So Happy 1st of July!! John

I just wanted to let you know that all is well here! Benjamin is doing great and he is getting big. He is so affectionate, friendly and snuggly. He snuggles every night with us and just does ragdoll flops around non-stop. All the kitties get along fabulously. Katinka is even getting along with him now. She has become more affectionate because we have paid more attention to her. All three of the cats sleep in our bed mostly every night and lie up with me spooning me. We have little games we play with them every day. They are sooooo soft and I groom their fur and nails biweekly which helps their coats plus they enjoy it as they purr when I do it. We are so happy for our kitties and I just wanted to let you know that we are very happy ragdoll owners and are constantly promoting the breed. There really is no cat like a ragdoll and I will always have Ragdolls in my life. When other people talk about cats, I just say that "you haven't met my kitties!!" I really don't think people understand until they have met and hung out with these cats. When they meet them, they can't believe how gorgeous they are and how the personalities are sooo sweet. As you can tell we love them soooo much!!! I hope all is well with your kitties and breeding programs. I hope you push for your chocolates and lilacs as I have met them and have seen the beauty. Take Care and I will stay in touch, Anna

I thought I would write you to update you on how Joey is doing. I adopted the lilac mitted boy of parents My Fair Lady and Luxury. Joey is very sweet and loving and very playful. He keeps me laughing all day with his antics and he loves to wake me in the middle of the night for some affection (I don't mind at all though). I couldn't be more pleased with him and I can't wait to see how his personality develops further. He is so handsome and everyone that comes to see him can't believe how blue his eyes are! He captures everyone's heart that meets him and he sure has mine! Thanks so much for the best cat in the world !! He was given a clean bill of health from the vet. Take care, J

Hi Rose! Remember me? Jamie from Kansas, USA? I came and got two beautiful baby girls from you in June three years ago....Kia (14 lbs) is actually sitting on my lap right now as I am typing this note to you and Mischa (12 lbs) is sleeping quietly on the bed next to me. They are the lights of our lives....our baby girls. They love playing together and grooming each other. We often find them cuddled up sleeping on our bed or on their perch by the window. I just wanted to say "hi" and to ask for your address again. We have recently moved into a new home in Topeka, KS, and I lost my address book in the process. They are gorgeous if I do say so myself! I check your website about once a week to see all the new developments with your Ragdoll babies. Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you! Jamie

First off, Stellar Rose is doing just great; she puts up with no guff from any of the other animals and is in love with my dog (who isn't really sure to do about that!) Sylvie contacted me on your recommendation and came up to meet the girls tonight. She absolutely fell in love with the kitten who snuggled up & fell asleep in her arms. Skye as usual played the clown. They gave you a fantastic recommendation (which you totally deserve). Take Care Nancy
