Love at First Sight

Hi,
 I
remember the first time last year when I first went to see a cat show,
it was then that I had seen the lovely Ragdolls and wanted to have one
of my own to love and show.
The Ragdoll captivated me from that moment and I just fell in love with
them, their big blue eyes and something very special about them, just
a cuddle or even a look and I was love struck.
When a breeder rang and said that she had a three week old kitten that
could be mine and said that I could come down and have a look, I knew
from then that this little baby doll was to be mine to adore and love.
The time I spent waiting for him to grow and be ready to take home was
unbearable I must of rang the breeder so many times just to see how he
was and drove her up the wall. We named him Onslow because the breeder
said all he dose is lie around and he reminded her of Onslow in "Keeping
up Appearances" on the ABC TV.
Nine weeks went very slowly but did come around and it was wonderful
to be able to bring my little man home and the joy and excitement was
great and he settled in very well, paddling and purring when ever he could
sometimes he paddles so much I call him "Paddle pops"!
But, like the breeders of Ragdolls say they are addictive and I had to
get one more to love. My new boy arrived on a plane and that was very
exciting picking him up from the airport and he is wonderful too and was
not fussed by the trip at all, even in his carry case he purred and purred.
They make my life so happy and it is wonderful to come home to relax with
my very spoilt , loving boys.
My new boy Sylvestire got on well with Onslow and settled in and made
him self right at home, they are very funny to watch together and often
sleep next to each other and groom one another.
Where ever I am they are with me and always follow me from room to room
and I would never be with out my two happy Ragdoll boys.
They are really a treasure to behold.
