Okay I am a proud momma after all!

Unread post by Shade »

Gotta show off my babies!

Image

The white is my ragdoll, the black my maine coon.

My Rags we got when she was about 1-2 range from a breeder who bred her too early, so she is a little smaller then those of her breed-but she is a gorgeous gal and a very mothering cat. I got her originally to be a companion to a kitty that I lost to cancer later that year. I was shattered when I lost my older cat, she was a calico maine coon, my little angel, though she was a royal bitch to anyone else in the house lol.

After we lost her I felt bad for my Rags, thinking she was raised in a house full of cats and should have a companion, so I went out and found a little coon kitten to bring home. This was the first time I ever had a kitten so tiny, and so I was wayy over protective of her and worried like non stop about her for months.

This is her as a baby, with others in her litter, she is the one on the far left.

Image

My little baby used to fit in the palm of my hand....

Image

or in one of my books...

Image

But she has grown drastically, as coons do. She is now an 16 pound monster, and is still growing, as coons don't tend to reach thier full size til they are about 4-5, and she is only 2.

Image

Image

Of my two girls, my coon is the more photogenic, Rags does NOT like having her picture taken, every time she sees the camrea she runs. O_o

Image

And not to be forgotten, here are the puppies, out in a very rare snow storm last winter.

The brat:

And the prince:

Both of whom are shelties.

Oh I'm sorry that happened to your kitty! They are big kitties, so I can see how it could leave an impression. I would worry about bringing another cat into my home while she is with me, just given her size and how shy she can be around strangers. She's great with the dogs and my rags, but that is because she was a kitten around all of them. :)

I.. LOVE... MAINE COONS.
AND SHELTIES.
AND RAGDOLLS.
Your house would be heaven. <3

Seriously, those are my two favorite cat breeds, and one of my favorite dog breeds.

Woot!
I love your ragdoll.
I have a 17lb male Bluepoint Ragdoll.. he was the runt of the litter.

:) They are my fave breeds too. I'm not a huge dog person, but I do adore our little prince, even if he is a chicken-heart.

Wow! That is a big boy! I worry about my girl sometimes, she's just about 7-8 pounds herself-but the breeder I got her from did breed her pretty early, and she's just three or so, so she will hopefully fill out a bit more as she finishes maturing.

ooo, the mother and father of my Ragdoll are both over 20lbs. the dad was approaching 25lbs, while the mom was juuuust over 20lbs. these were NOT tiny cats.

when Stewie (yes, named for the baby in Family Guy) comes up on the bed while we're sleeping... we can feel the mattress go down under his weight.. and when he decides that he wants to get up on top of us... it is, to say the least, crushing.

I suspect that if your baby is 3 years old already, she's probably reached her final weight. Stewie was at his final weight some time between 2 and 3 years of age.
