Lions Royale Ragdoll Blog

New photos of Annies little ones on the slideshow page.  Already 6 days old. You can see the ears are getting dark on some.  Eyes will still be closed for a while. 

The most fun is when they are about 3 and 4 weeks old and just starting to toddle about and explore their area.  Everything is new and exciting for them.  It's the messiest time too as they are trying out food and tracking it all over.  Right now it's cute to watch them with mom, see how the color is developing and try to figure out what they will be.  

 The babies are already purring to mom while they drink.  I wish I could get that on a video to share.  It's too precious.

I've made a new slideshow of Annie Bella's kitten pictures from day 1.5 to 3 days old!  Some color is starting on the babies ears.

 Thanks for visiting my Blog page and adding comments!  I hope you enjoy this feature.

Congratulations to our beautiful Annie-Bella (Lilac Point) who delivered 5 chunky babies starting at 8:30 am.  She was due today and decided to get an early start. I love when they are right on schedule. 

 Looks like we have three male and two female Ragdoll babies!! 

Lots of photos and updates to come as these precious little ones grow.

I'm trying out a neat new feature to help to keep visitors up to date on what's happening at Lions Royale Ragdolls.  It should be easier for me to share news, upcoming events, direct visitors to updated areas of my site, photos, new litters etc.

I hope you enjoy it. Please bear with me as I learn how to use this feature!

I'll try to keep the news located on this page so you can find it easily and remove it from my homepage so it's easier to navigate!

More updates to the site planned with NEW LINKS TO WEBSITES belonging to those who have kittens from Lions Royale Ragdolls, more information sites that are very important and new album pages planned along with new slideshows and a page dedicated to the history of our Lilac/Chocolate Ragdoll breeding program as well as to pet kittens that are now in their new homes featuring photos sent from their families!  Lots to come!!

Lots of March NEWS and maybe a little madness...:

• Several new Ragdolls will be joining our LILAC/CHOCOLATE Ragdoll breeding program!!  A beautiful LILAC mother with her three kittens has arrived!  They are currently being DNA tested for both known HCM genes that cause heart disease in Ragdolls in preparation for joining our family of Ragdolls.  Charlotte: Lilac Point female Ragdoll adult:

Cookie: Chocolate Colorpoint female Ragdoll ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cadbury: Chocolate Lynx Point Male Ragdoll  

Clarabelle: Seal Point chocolate carrier female Ragdoll

• Tigger went to live at Mainelycountry Ragdolls in Maine, USA with Dorothy and Joseph Plourde.  The residents at the nursing home miss Tigger coming to see them!! Dorothy reports that she has taken over the house and loves everyone including her resident doggies.  So this is good news!  She's settled in very well.  Dorothy plans to take her out to some shows in her area in April if possible. I'm sure Tigger (now named TIFFY) will enjoy that!

• Our fabulous boy Horatio is going to be leaving for a new cattery in May.  He'll be living just around the corner at RaggaRoyale Ragdolls!  Mary Jane already adores him and he knows her from since he was a kitten so I'm sure he'll be quite happy.  'H' as we call him, isn't a chocolate carrier so I'm not planning to use him this year or next for breeding.  He's a young, handsome male with excellent qualities to pass on.  We will have at least one litter from Horatio before he leaves.

• LIONSROYALE CHEYENNE of CAJUNRAGDOLLS was shown this month in Texas, USA in the kitten class and achieved two finals! 5th best kitten and 5th best longhair kitten. CONGRATULATIONS ANNE and CHEYENNE!

• ANNIE-BELLA our beautiful LILAC POINT female is due March 23rd!
•  
• LIONSROYALE SHERLOCK LILAC will remain at Lions Royale as part of our Lilac/Chocolate Ragdoll breeding program.
