Lions Royale Ragdoll Blog

Hi Michael and Christopher (and family!)

 I've finally got a new slideshow of BEBE up.  He's a fantastic fellow and such a show off!

 He loves toys, especially wand toys if you will play tug-of-war with him! 

BeBe knows how to pose too. What a handsome boy.  Enjoy!!  I have more to come.

Thanks to all who have responded to my post about available Ragdolls.  I have to apologize because I posted it and then my husband and I have been away this weekend!!  So many that emailed or called must wonder why I haven't answered right away.

 I'll be home to answer emails tonight and phone calls. 

Thanks again.

 For all of you waiting for baby pictures, they will be posted either tonight or tomorrow. :)  Babies are doing great and are growing so quickly.  Moms are doing a wonderful job.

Well, it's been in the works for a while and it seems that we will indeed be planning to relocate.  I don't have any details for you right now but will share as soon as plans are firmed up.

 This means that I must downsize to prepare for the move.  The new location won't be set up for kitties the way that I am right now. It will take time to get everything in order.  This will be a fairly drastic downsizing for me.

I've decided to keep mostly younger Ragdolls unrelated to my one male.  This way I won't need  to be concerned with more babies on the way while we are moving and getting settled.  I can also keep fewer males for a while as I get organized again in our new location. 

Available as Pets:

• Delilah (blue bicolor female as pet)
• Charlotte (Lilac Point ready once babies are weaned)

 Available to Catteries:

• Cameo (Lilac Point mitted)
• Jorja (Lilac Point)
• Rosie (Flame Mitted) could also be adopted as pet
• Stella (Chocolate Point Mitted)
• Gwendolyn (Lilac Lynx Point Mitted)
• Possibly Horatio (Flame Bicolor (true)

Please contact me if you have interest in the above Ragdolls and I will provide more details.  ragdolls@xplornet.com

I have made the difficult decision to place some of my young adult Ragdolls as well as some adults. 

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

• Sherlock - Lilac Bicolor Male - 7 months

Sherlock is a big mushy, friendly boy.  He's got huge paws so he's got lots of growing to do. He purrs as soon as you look at him.  LOVES to get and to give love.  A back scratch and belly rub are favorites.  Sherlock is absolutely gorgeous with very little color on him except one lilac ear and lilac tail.  He'll eventually get some facial marks but maybe not much.  He's almost completely white.  I just don't have any unrelated females that I plan to breed to him for another year or so.  It's a shame but  I'll place him as a pet since he's just such a wonderful, sweet, fun kitten.  He'd be great with children and other animals.  

• Delilah - Blue Bicolor Female - 16 months

Delilah is daughter of two champions and is a gorgeous baby girl.  She's not very big, about 7 pounds.  She's never become pregnant so she's going to be offered as a very beautiful pet rather than try again.  Delilah is spunky and would be best as an only cat or with a male cat.  She's a true DIVA.  She talks, likes to have attention when SHE wants it, is VERY playful and enjoys sitting close and being stroked or getting belly rubs.  You can visit Delilahs page by clicking the link on the left menu.  

• Charlotte - LILAC POINT FEMALE - 3 years

Charlotte is an extremely sweet Ragdoll.  She has large purple blue eyes and just lives for attention.  She's a very small female that would be perfect for a quiet home without children.  Charlotte is used to other animals but would just love a home where she can have ALL the attention.  This kitty purrs non-stop when you are touching her or looking at her.  She rubs and purrs and pushes against you. I carry her like a baby in my arms.  She's so trusting and sweet.  A belly rub is a real treat for her.  Charlotte has 3 babies right now and will be available once the babies are weaned.

 They are doing great. Lots of fun and good eaters!

Rosie's babies are doing very well.  4 males and one female.  Photos soon.

 Enjoy the slideshow!

Rosemary gave birth to a large litter of babies on Wednesday! 

I will update with photos once she allows me. She is very protective of her kittens for the first week and I don't want to upset her unduly. 

So far all are doing well, Rosie is a big girl and has lots of milk for the babies.  She likes her food so she's quite happy to have all the extra yummy stuff that I prepare for her.

It looks to me that she has mostly male kittens in cream and red.  That was just a quick peek as they were born. 

---------------------------------

I'm in for my second eye surgery tomorrow so I may not respond to mail for a day or so after.  I apologize to those that I haven't emailed back yet.  I'm still catching up on back emails and promise to send out answers to your questions by the weekend.  Babies are keeping me hopping here!  Not much time to be online.  :)

Playing with baby kittens.......it's a tough job.....haha

----------------------

On the long weekend I will have an open house for any who would like to visit.  I would like to do this on the Friday as I will have the whole day free.  That's May 15th.  The Saturday I will only be available from 1:30 pm on so Friday is definitely the better day.

If you would like to attend on Friday please let me know. I'd like to arrange for one day but not both so I'll arrange whichever day the majority will be able to come and see us. 

Small babies won't be able to be viewed or handled.   This visit is to meet the resident Ragdoll adults and young adults only.  Once the smaller babies have had their first vaccinations they can be visited a week later.   This is a safety precaution for our babies.  Getting vaccinated is stress enough and they need time to adjust to that and begin to develop before being handled by strangers who may own cats already.

I posted the wrong website address in my announcement of Grand Premier LIONSROYALE WHIPPETTE DELITE of CHIFFONDOLLS.

It's finally official!!

LIONSROYALE WHIPPETTE DELITE of CHIFFONDOLLS

IS NOW A ** GRAND PREMIER!! **

This is just absolutely HUGE news and history making for us and the Cat Fanciers Association!

One year ago the Cat Fanciers Association accepted Colorpoint and Mitted Ragdolls for Championship.  Before that, only bicolors could compete for champion titles.

So now, our beautiful gal is the VERY FIRST GRAND PREMIER RAGDOLL in CFA!!

This is exciting news but especially so because she is a FEMALE and a very RARE Lilac!!

Another reason this is so exciting for us is that Whippette was from my very first litter of Lilac kittens ever!!  My first generation!!

We thought that Whippette had gained her title in April but she needed ONE point to get this special title awarded to her.  Now it's official!!

I owe HUGE THANKS to Whippettes absolutely fantastic owners: Brigitte and Luc of Chiffondolls in Quebec.  Without their dedication, this never would have happened.  I can't even express how much I appreciate their determination and love for their Ragdolls.

This is just such a joy for me to announce. Please visit www.chiffondolls.ca  so you can see Brig's announcement and photos of Whippette.

I hope you like it!    Some of the photos of BeBe sleeping were taking this afternoon so you can see how big he is getting!
