Charlie and Jack the Beginning

I am so relieved everything went ok yesterday and I got my new kitties back from the old home to my home in one piece. I only managed to honked at twice while driving (once because I was driving too slowly trying to find the right house and the second time because I cut someone up on the roundabout which is not like me normally!)

The kittens were ok in the car, did a bit of crying now and then. I just talked to them the whole way and tried to reassure them. Thankfully the traffic was not too bad for a pre-bank holiday day so we made good time.

Jack and Tom knew something was up before I set off that morning. I had already put out an extra litter tray and got the cat carrier out so they were suspicious! I was very on edge as well but trying to play it cool.

When I got Charlie and Leo back I put them in the ‘safe room’ with their tray and bed and toys. I popped them in the tray so they knew that was where they were supposed to go. They were very good. No accidents so far. They knew straight away what to do. Then after that they just played and ran around. It was a joy to watch them.

What Is A Ragdoll Cat?

The Ragdoll cat as legend has it, was descended from Josephine a feral cat living in California in the 1960s. She was struck by a car and after she recovered, her kittens produced all the winning traits that would become the hallmark of the Ragdoll cat including large heavy build, soft downy fur, docility and laid-back personality. The original bloodlines of Ragdolls can be traced back to Ann Baker’s Ragdoll cats. It was she who developed the breed from the original Josphine. Ragdolls are beautiful, friendly, loving cats know as gentle giants of the cat world.
