th_SAM_0752.jpg cocoa 13 weeks old.

th_Caerphilly-20120210-00027.jpg?t=1328894483 cocoa a few months old.
th_601329_4082153900316_394398438_n.jpgcocoa now just over 1yrs old (just 1-2 more years growth to go!!)

th_538139_4167493113743_16122807_n.jpg give us a cuddle (cocoa with my youngest) if he's not having a cuddle he's playing fetch with his AA battery!!.

th_525858_4152861907972_895514888_n.jpg this is simba, he's a 4 year old tabby ragdoll(he's been confused to a norweigen forrest cat but he isnt head shape and eye colour is all wrong for that breed plus papers i have say otherwise) simba came to us may this year his original owner could keep him no longer due to family curcumstances, she contacted us as onwers of the breed to ensure that we looked after him and cared for him properly he is neutered.

th_576812_4151042062477_1731681630_n.jpgcrunching number does this to me too!. this is BLUE!, he's a blue seal-point (hence his name) blue came to us with simba they are pals, blue is approx 7-8 years old, his previous owner (as explained above) informed us opon taking him in that he had been addicted to DOG FOOD:mad: and sought every means to pinch her dogs dinner to the point that this BIG BAD BOY wouldnt eat cats food dried or wet became very thin, unfotunately i run a tight ship and dont own a dog for this boy to pinch his grub, and there was a mexican stand off for a few days he doesnt like to out of his comfort zone, his growl his quite funny!!, we let him settle in and take what he wanted from his own bowl wich was water, untill eventually he's been weened back onto dried food and is now putting weight back on.

th_576569_4151023542014_628581746_n.jpgblue from the back, this and the above photo's were taken a month after his arival with simba.

th_578169_4082150860240_939301086_n.jpgwho you looking at!!, this is miley, we bought her from a breeder, she is just over 2 years old, and was our second ragdoll to cocoa, she's a very loving cat but dislikes other breeds of cat to her own, she doesnt get on well with my DSH tabby cat Lilly, she's not fond of cocoa but puts up with him, she's close to blue when their in the same room alone (her chosen one but tough girly youve got no bits! and neither has he) miley is fond of men rather than women but will warm to women after a long time, she's a bed hogger too! and like my father sighs alot audioably, this one loves catnip, i mean ive never seen a cat go so doolaly in my entire life, we limit her time with the catnip bag or she gets overly protective of it, she loves kittens she will adopt any kitten and look after them like a mummy would.
th_309692_2417898334967_2081883281_n.jpglilly (right) and tinkerbell (Left) one of the rarest moments in these pairs life is to sleep together like this.

th_296674_2535482354494_1316336978_n.jpga picture says a thousend words!!.

th_310662_2495248268667_421924514_n.jpgI'll help you fix that dad!. tinkerbell is quite unique to say the least, if theres a bonnnet up, a car door open, she's there with me, she pays mum a rare visit and gets the ride home with mum and spoiled rotten when she pays her visit. if i go for a short walk she's next to me. sleeps in the car when its open, greets me when i pull up, and asks for rides in the car (to pick the kids up from school usually i look so daft with a tabby sat on my parcel shelf).
th_309618_2495254108813_1292108650_n.jpgcan i come dad!.

th_206691_1932771847108_5731404_n.jpgi'm PIKA!!, the MBU (maboo) puffer, i was community friendly and loved my owner!, i loved cockel in a shell and prawns KING prawns, i was almost 9 inches long, i loved the camera, and playing pikaboo behind rocks with people glarinmg at me through the glass, i got so excited to see my owner i would shake my whole body and follow him through the glass of the tank, i liked a belly tickle and whn i got tired i would lay in the same after blowing it accross the tank floor top make a bed, i blinked i bet you never seen a fish blink!! and yawned when i was tired, unfortunatly i got myself stuck under a rock i panicked and puffed up and the pressure with me stuck and puffed killed me, but i had a fantastic life in my BIG loving home my owners child tried digging me up in the garden after i passed, she was so upset but her father and mother took good care of her in her distress.
th_216866_1952833908647_6828531_n.jpgi do love a photo!! i smile and all!.

    Good grief, Atrix - are you planning on opening your own personal animal sanctuary?


    :D



    I think everyone has seen pictures of my bunch - except for Igor, the baby Snail that snuck into the aquarium on some weed.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Did you get more Raggies recently Atrix, I thought you only had cocoa ?

    Maggie the Raggie is 6 months older than Cocoa and has definitely gained more fur and weight the last 6 months. I struggle to tell the difference between her and my 5 year old one now from a distance. I'll try and add a photo of them both if I can get one when they sit together.

    :rotfl:well, from cocoa to miley then was contacted over FB by my wifes friend in desperate need of rehoming her raggies due to family curcs, (i refused the dog on basis i have allergy).

    i had tinks and lilly ages ago one was from wifes sister, and the other off wifes grandmother who was incapable of looking after herself never mind animals.

    i took in two kittens before we had blue and simba, (miley mothered them) and rehomed those to respectfull families they both went together as they were inseprable.

    you may have heared me talk about cleopatra, the anti sociable kittie a while back, i took her in off wifes sister, kids were too young to respect a living animal, by that time she was practically un rehomeable, so i kept here here untill i won her over to humans trust again, she was rehomed to another fellow raggie owner, she was a maincoon, we get updates from her new owner who says she has really settled well and is a loving family cat who gets on really well with his raggie.

    where i live i am the unofficial cat sanctuary :rotfl:ive rehomed many cats over a 7 year period to counteract the fact that cats protection are always searching for homes for kittens where i as have homed many in my area, i always donate at my local pets at home when i visit there for my cat products.

    Atrix is also a sucker for a catless person in search of a furball to love! I have even known him give away one of his cats to what he thought was a better owner for the cats needs. I am referring to the cat who was really meant to be an 'only' cat (forget his name). He really didnt take to other cats at all.
  • some news on the cat front.

    BLUE and simba have now rehomed (im really upset by it acutually).

    My wife had decided that it was all too much for her to cope with and that we should go ahead and rehome 2 of the cats we have.

    wifes brother and GF has been looking for a long while for a ragdoll done a indepth researh on them and knew what is required, and were on the hunt, so we gave them simba and blue, we get to see them too wich is my my reliefe as i were attached to those to.

    anyway, thought id let you all know.

    UPDATE:

    simba and blue have returned back to us, unfortunately. theres some sad circumtances behind this i wont go into the return was warranted.

    unfortunately Blue has developed some bad habbits and he's lost some more weight and is really thin now that when i look at him want to cry its nothing what the owners have done and its not their fault he did lose some weight when moved here, but then started to put it on slowly.

    im going to book him in the vets and find out exactly whats going on there. there no sign of parasites such as worms (wormed reguarly) eats normally and drinks normally.

    if you want too know more about BLUE, PM me! im in a position where i have too many cats, but wont turn a cat in need down (i hate my soft furball loving side sometimes).
