Hello Floppycat readers, that is Scarlett. She is a 5-year-old bicolor, pink/flame level Ragdoll from Cajun Ragdolls in Louisiana. Cajun Ragdolls are actually situated in Houston, Texas, after two hurricanes destroyed their beautiful house in Westlake.
How Scarlett Were given Her Identify
Scarlett’s title was once selected in response to her colour and her Southern roots. She is registered to CFA and TICA. Anne Paul is her breeder. How she got here to be ours is a shaggy dog story…my husband was once unhappy to be the one one in the home with out his personal cat. He’s very keen on orange cats, and I insisted on a lady. I’m workforce…. Ladies are more straightforward in multiple-cat families.
I first known as our native breeder Cooper Catz through Shari Cooper. She didn’t have a pink feminine. I didn’t know the way uncommon a bicolor pink/flame feminine ragdoll could be. I did a little bit digging into the dames and sires of Shari’s cats. I noticed one among her cats was once from Louisiana. I positioned a chilly name to Anne within the first week of December.
Scarlett was once by no means marketed or actually on the market. We talked for hours about Scarlett. Anne requested many questions associated with my revel in with cats, house atmosphere, my native veterinarian, and different pets in the house.
Scarlett was once meant to be one among her non-public display cats, however the sudden lack of her daughter made adoption the most productive resolution. We set a pickup date that week, and I booked a flight.
How Scarlett Got here House
The morning of the flight, the Columbia to Charlotte leg was once canceled. I frantically spoke with the airline and made the verdict to force to Charlotte an hour and a part away. I flew in my automobile to Charlotte to catch the Houston flight. As soon as in Houston, I met very in brief with Anne and picked Scarlett up within the drop off house of the airport. We had to return via TSA.
I had to take away Scarlett from the provider bag; she buried her head in my sweater and in the course of the scanner we went. Scarlett was once a trouper. She will have to were so scared; leaving her circle of relatives/siblings, a loud airport, a airplane journey, and assembly a brand new circle of relatives with established grownup cats all in someday.
Scarlett As of late
I will’t say sufficient just right issues about Anne Paul. She really cares for the ragdoll breed. Her kittens are of the best quality, wholesome, and social. She raises the kittens in her house together with her granddaughter. Anne had all her information up to the moment and her spay was once already finished. My non-public vet mentioned she was once the healthiest kitten she had ever observed from a breeder.
To make sure Scarlett would bond with my husband, I spent two weeks at the settee. I made him feed her, blank her muddle field and play together with her.
Scarlett Sleeps with Me
As you’ll be able to see 5 years later, all of them sleep with me. Scarlett has a rescue sister, Tinka (12-year-old grey), Tillman (male orange tabby age unknown… a up to date walk-up addition) and Merlin (9-year-old male blue level Ragdoll).
Scarlett Loves Her Groceries
Scarlet is a wholesome 17-pound woman who, as Anne put it, “loves her groceries”. She has an excessively thick coat that calls for day by day brushing to stay the mats out. She is the sweetest cat. She shall we me clip her nails and shave round her backside.
Scarlett is a heavy sleeper and reveals essentially the most at ease positions. I’d no doubt fly to Houston once more for every other one among Anne’s young children. As I’m typing, Scarlett is dozing in my mattress, dreaming about one thing unbelievable….she chirps and thrills in her sleep. And I simply love that about MY cat!
Merlin
That is Merlin’s closing day at our house sooner than his condo lifestyles started. Merlin got here from Cooper Cats and belongs to my 22-year-old daughter. He has an Instagram web page I started whilst his momma was once away in school and dwelling with us. @Merlin_Ragdoll_Felon
His maintain “felon” happened motive he was once doing time within the “large space” whilst his gurl was once long past to school. Merlin was once the little bully in our satisfied house. He ran a decent gang and would no longer let the women in what he deemed his a part of the home.
We FaceTime with Merlin at least one time per week and seek advice from him frequently. Ragdolls aren’t like different cat breeds. They really omit you and wait so that you can come house. Since he moved out, Scaredy Scarlett has taken the alpha position and assists in keeping the entire cats sweetly so as! It’s been so amusing to look her character blossom.
