Montiano
Firstly here is Montiano aka Monti. He is our blue mitted boy.
And he is my husband Dean's baby. He fell in love with Monti as soon as he saw him
and although we were only suppose to be getting my show neuter Wicket, who could
resist this face.....
Montiano is always up to something and makes life in the house very funny.
If there is a cupboard open he is in it, if there is something to fall off, he does.
He loves to play with water and regularly makes a mess in the kitchen with the water
tower as he tries to attack the cat behind it (known to the sane people as his reflection!)!
Monti has also mastered the art of the killer raggie death flop!! Meaning he picks just
the right moment to flop right at your toes so you trip and nearly break your neck! lol
But its only because he wants a cuddle and one look at his face and all is forgiven.
Life with a Ragdoll is never dull thats for sure! As long as you have plenty of food
(they love eating!), places for exploring and trouble to get into and cuddles on call, oh
and plenty of soft warm places for sleeping (namely your bed or the your spot on the
sofa, life with a Raggie is most entertaining! Montiano has also proven himself to be a
wonder with kittens. He loves them and will spend hours making sure they are all clean,
he will play with them and just lie there letting them use him as a climbing frame. He is
very watchful over any kittens and for his size, he is such a gentle giant. Uncle Monti
is always our kittens best friend.
Wicket
Wicket is a seal colourpoint and 100% gorgeous.
Originally, my mum was meant to have been having Wicket but he was so
gorgeous as a kitten it would have been a shame not to have try him in a
show so I persuaded her to have Monti's brother instead. Here he is as a kitten
so you can see how special he was even then.
Wicket is the quite one of the bunch. His goal in life seems to be to find a quite
place to rest and be left alone in peace. Not an easy thing to achieve in this
house. Wicket does pick his moments for some rather entertaining fun. He is
very protective of Belle and will rush to her if she so much as squeaks but then
he does tend to bully her for her food so we do have to watch him. Which
brings us to Wickets other love in life, FOOD!! Wicket loves food, and if its
covered in plastic all the better!! You really have to watch him as he will
happily chew his way through plastic bags and wrappings in his quest for food.
Every bag that comes into the house as far as Wicket is concerned, must be full
of food so be aware of Wicket if you should come to visit. He will try and
investigate your bag as well. He has no shame.
Apollo
Here is our first cat Apollo. We rehomed Apollo ten years ago from the RSPCA
shelter and he has been at the centre of our lives ever since.
Not a Raggie obviously but still Daddy to them all even though daddy can be a
little grumpy at times they all adore him and him them.
Apollo is getting on a bit now and has a few health problems which means he
has to follow a strict diet and take medication but we still think he is
magnificent. He certainly remembers the times when cats were worshipped as
gods!!
