This is our new kitten Moriarty (named after watching far too much Sherlock Holmes). He is so soppy and affectionate as well as being the most beautiful cat in the whole World, I know I’m slightly bias, but those eyes!
Moriarty is a Ragdoll. We chose the breed Ragdoll because of their laidback temperament, beautiful blue eyes and affectionate behaviour, and he definitely lives up to it, he’s currently purring his little heart out wrapped around my neck whilst I sit in my office and type this.
Moriarty’s best friend is our lop-eared rabbit Cloud, they are inseparable and so cute to watch. They run around and play fight together, Moriarty is so gentle with her and never has his claws out. I was worried at first, but she always runs back to him for more, so she has to love all the attention, they play together, and sleep together, all cuddled up in a big ball of fluff. If he wakes up and his rabbit is out in the garden eating grass he cries for her, and she comes running. Yesterday he heard me upstairs and attempted to climb the stairs, got half way up and got scared, sat on the step and cried, Cloud came running to his rescue and he happily followed her back downstairs. Every kitten should have their own rabbit.
Here’s a bit of info about Ragdolls, for anyone who’s interested in the breed.
Ragdolls are large, laid-back, semi longhaired cats with captivating blue eyes. The Ragdoll is a pointed breed, which means that the body is lighter in colour than the points (the face, legs, tail and ears). The Ragdoll cat is carefully bred to produce large affectionate animals in three patterns, two with white (mitted and bi-colour) and one with no white (colourpoint). The ideal Ragdoll is a well-balanced cat, with no extreme features. Neutered males will usually top the scale at 15-20 pounds; females are proportionately smaller and usually weigh between 10-15 pounds at maturity. Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat colour at two years, and full size and weight at four.
Ragdoll cats tend to be more interested in humans than some breeds of cats. They are known to run to greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and generally choose to be where you are. Many Ragdolls have been taught to come when called and play fetch. They are gentle cats, and usually play without extending their claws. Ragdolls tend to be floor cats, not jumpers. The Ragdoll’s semi long coat is plush and silky, and requires minimal grooming to keep it looking its best. They should be combed with a steel comb on a regular basis to find and remove any loose hair or tangles. Quality coats consist mainly of long, soft guard hairs. Ragdolls, just like all breeds of cats, will shed, usually with the change of seasons. The absence of the thick, dense, insulating undercoats results in reduced shedding and matting. In all, Ragdolls are well behaved, and easy to care for – perfect for our modern, busy, lifestyles.
Ragdolls were developed in the 1960’s by Ann Baker; a breeder in Riverside California. The origin of the Ragdoll breed consisted almost entirely of free-roaming cats. Ann bred Josephine, a domestic longhaired white female that was found running loose in her neighbourhood, to other cats she owned or found. The offspring of this female had unique temperament traits that were very endearing. By selecting individuals with the look, temperament and criteria she wanted for her breeding program, she created the Ragdoll breed.
Painted these as a birthday present for my mom. I've got 4 of my own to paint later :D

Emile, Guy, and Louis enjoying the sunshine on the back deck. The deck is enclosed with deer fencing, so they play in the sunshine, safely.

Sue me if I play it wrong."
This is my 9-year old Seal Point Siamese, Gaucho. Both he and his house-mate, Aja, are male Traditional Siamese and both are named for Steely Dan albums and songs. We got both of them at the same time from this breeder. Gaucho is three weeks older than Aja. We thought Aja was a female until we took took him to the vet to be spayed and they said, "Not so much." The breeder kept saying how she was going to be a BIG cat and at least she got that part right.
You can see the really fine detail and narrow DOF if you view this in original size. I'm lovin' my new 135mm f/2.0 portrait lens! It was so dark that even at 1600 ISO and F/2.0, it was only at 1/80th of a second and this was hand-held, with no image stabilization.
This little fella had a cleff palet, 2 operations and now is a massive very healthy ragdol male.thanks to his foster mem. xx

Just trying something new, she didn't mind the pearls but she didn't want to pose one bit, so this is the best shot I could get of her. I think she suits them, maybe I should get a Tiara next? :)
Buddie is deze week 4 jaar geworden, wij hopen hem nog heel veel jaren te vriend te houden, het is een schatje
