Ragdoll Kitties

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself...I can't believe the number of cat lovers here! My name is Lori and I have...well a "few" ragdoll kitties along with a couple of selkirk rex kitties. We breed and show them and just had a new litter of 3 last weekend (all have parents waiting impatiently on them to grow up a little ) -- I have one more litter coming the end of April and then nothing planned for a while. You can visit our kitties at http://members.tripod.com/~ragdoll_cats Best, Lori McLaughlin 270/149 Open RNY 08/26/2002

Hey! Ragdolls!! I love them... are they really love loveable and floppy as i hear? i would love to have a cat that crumbles happily when I pick it up!! How much do you usually sell them for? What do you do with the 'runts' or whatever you might call them? I am a total 'know-nothing' when it comes to cat breeding, I just know that I have always wanted a ragdoll and a bengal. Are there ever any kittens that are unsellable for whatever reason? how much does a kittie cost? peace

Hi Mary-- Pet kittens are somewhat pricey....mine are $600. Show kittens and breeding kittens are more. I've found over the years that the "runts" can grow into the most beautiful adults.....occasionally I have a kitty that needs a home (retired breeder or a kitty with issues that prevents me from selling it)....if you email me privately, I'll give you more [email protected]. Best, Lori

Lori, you never know WHO you're going to run into on a cyber board! I didn't know you had WLS and I thought you had given up breeding?? Anyway, good to "see" you again!! Small world!!

Hey Lori! Finally, another cat show crazy person that I can also relate to with WLS! I'm going to be celebrating my 2 year WLS anniversary on 4-4-04 and so far have lost 165 lbs; would like to lose another 20-25 lbs. but am sort of "on hold" for the last few months. I show/breed American Curls in CFA, Great Lakes Region, living in southwestern OH. Like you, I have a "few" cats (some are mine and some are rescues that I'm trying to find homes for, also American Curls) and one dog, a Doberman rescue. I have a singleton kitten, born just a couple of days ago and am planning 3-4 more litters in the near future, both longhair and shorthair varieties. My web site is: http://geocities.com/am_curls .
