It's Tubby Time

by Wendy Taker ...Canada

I first laid eyes on the Ragdoll in a cat's magazine sometime in the1970's. It was love at first sight. It wasn't just the gorgeous blue eyes, or fur like a bunny, but their endearing personality. I promised myself that someday I too would be owned by a Ragdoll. Little did I realize that it would be twenty five years before I did.

In 1995 we adopted a retired breeder.. a beautiful two year old bi-color we named Emma. Breeders say the Ragdoll is addictive and that one is never enough - of course I totally agree and two months later we adopted a lovely blue mitted kitten with the hour glass on her face. Her name is Maya. I can't say exactly why we adopted our third, except to say she's an Angel - Jessica, another mitted, but this time a seal mitted. The rich color of her coat is beautiful.

Although their beauty is what attracted me initially, the real joy of being loved by a Ragdoll is their devoted personalities. My husband calls me the Pied Piper.. for where ever I go the girls are sure to follow.

My favorite time of the day is evening. I enjoy relaxing in the tub and have found myself joined each night by these wonderful purries. Although they don't get in the water I think they enjoy the time together as much as I do. Around 10PM Jessica will come to me and start complaining with her funny little chirping sounds.. I realize it's tubby time!

Although I love all cats, there's really no baby like a Ragdoll baby.

I have felt surrounded by love and joy since these girls came into my life.
