What adoptive families say about
Muffins We Baked Earlier
DOUGLASSINA/VIOLET (06.11.09)
Hi Jean
I am writing to let you know that Dougalssina has settled in her new home really well. I have re-named her Violet which was the name my niece chose-have sinced realised that you already have a Violet!
She now finds her way around the house no problem and has done since the day after I got her. Her favourite place to sleep through the night is above my head on the pillow! She is eating well and has no problems with the litter tray.
I took her to the vet this morning to get her registered and he checked her over and agreed that she is in perfect health (he took out the stitches from where she was neutered). He thought she was the most adorable kitten as did the rest of the staff at the vets-one of the vets in the practice breeds Ragdolls.
I will write to you again in a few months and let you know how she is getting on and will also send you some photos.
Gillian
PS: At this moment she is sound asleep in my nieces dolls pram!
MEGAN/MISHKA (06.12.08)
Hello Jean,
..... can't believe you've got kittens left, if only they knew what I know, she's such a sweetheart. She has such lovely sweet little ways, the little noises she makes when I call her, the way she forces her nose under your arm, the way she carries things around in her mouth, or pulls the kitchen towel out, the way she kneads at my head every night, I could just go on and on....
I thought I would let you know I'm so very pleased with her, who wouldn't be!
[and 24.01.09]
Don't want to be a bore (I think I'm beginning to sound like a mum that goes on and on about their children, till everyone feels like telling them to shut up) but I must say this....After all that's been said about Mishka's looks, it's the way she is that is the best thing of all, how she pulls the kitchen roll out right across the room, drags the blanket out of the cat box and then tries to put it back in again, the way she looks up at you with those big oval eyes and best of all the way she gets in and out of bed several times a night just for a cuddle.
Anyway I really MUST stop now.... Mandy, Essex
ETHELRED (13.03.09)
Hi Jean,
.... Ethelred is doing very well, he seems to be getting bigger every day (he's now 4kg) and is the king of the house. His personality hasn't really changed he's just more talkative. ..... We've decided not to change his name as he answers to "Red" and it seems to suit him, especially with his star status at our vets!
........ He's as loving as when we got him, he's definitely the king of cuddles.

TUCKER (14.4.09 + 04.06.09)
...just to let you know that Tucker is doing well... he's lovely and has settled in so well. We have a guide dog puppy Hugh (7 months) who we've had now for about 3 months and the pair absolutely love each other... I've never known a cat and dog to get on so well, it definitely shows how soft the RagaMuffins are as Tucker has never had his claws out or been grumpy with Hugh...it's lovely to see and also makes for a lovely peaceful house.
I just wanted to ask.. if you have any more litters planned for this year? As we adore Tucker and had always thought about getting him a friend.. although with the dog he doesn't really need one. But it would be nice to get another as I love his temperament and he's really fun to have around (he can 'retrieve' a ball and bring it back). R**n loves to cuddle him too and he's so good with him. Neither of the boys has ever been scratched or bitten, although at times I think Tucker can be just too lazy to get up and tell them off when they annoy him.
I've attched a couple of pics of him...one with dog.
and
...definitely think one [RagaMuffin] isn't enough. So if you haven't sold them all yet could you let me know if you have any left and about when they would be ready (for saving purposes more than anything).

MATILDA/TILLY THE BRAVE
[Matilda went, as a teenager, to a lovely couple in the Scottish Islands. She was a nervous girl, we don't know why, but her new owners lavished her with love and patience until she came round. Here are some anecdotes of their success...]
Thought it's time you heard about the latest behaviours of Matilda! Or Tilly the Brave as we now call her. LOL.....
Today Tilly pops around the house knowing it belongs to her! Visitors are always observed and at last we believe we do have 2 kittens! She runs around chasing anything that flies. MOTHS are a great favourite. She is my constant companion...welllll I did want a lap cat, just not when I'm sitting on the toilet! Talking of toilets, she is totally fascinated by the toilet, she can lift the lid and loves to watch it flush!
......when she's not trying to get under my skin she likes to pretend to be a rug,,,, on her back, all four paws in the air, making you walk around her. Honestly Jean she'd make Blanche look RESERVED!

ERNEST (05.01.09)
Hi Jean,
...... we have been having too much fun with our cat! Just a note to let you know Ernest is settling in well. We are in love with him - so is the family in the States, we have sent pictures! We are keeping him on the same dry and wet food that you were giving him and he hasn't had any problems. He has his own window seat, many cat toys and likes to lounge with us by the fireplace in the evening. ......thanks for such an adorable little guy. I'm sending a picture.
28.06.09
...we adore Ernest. He has a really placid and affectionate personality - definitely a people cat. He has fans on two continents........... Seems like there is growing interest in the RagaMuffin breed, for good reason.
EGBERT/WALDO (20.02.09 + 02.03.09)
Hi Jean,
I thought it was time to give you an update on Waldo. He is very well and growing to be a beautiful cat. He hasn't lost any of his beautiful character traits, so he still loves people, is very affectionate and he isn't scared of anything: be it water, hair dryer, vacuum cleaner. I kid you not, to hoover I have to push him with the vacuum cleaner out of the way..............
I have attached some photos of him. Unfortunately I feel that none of them reflect how beautiful and majestic he is......
......I think Waldo is looking good enough to be taken to shows now. All the people that see him say he's the best looking cat they've ever seen and my friends love him. When I have parties at mine he parties with us all, going from one lap to the other.
andJean!!
I'd be very happy to write a testimonial for you, after all you did breed the best cat I've ever seen both in terms of looks and character. My sister came to visit me and although she wasn't really into cats Waldo made her change her mind and she's talking about having a kitten.........

MELANIE (04.04.09)
Hi Jean,
Yes RagaMuffins are absolutely gorgeous and the best things in the world - ever! Having Melanie has made such a difference to my life and my home, the place has really come alive and I feel so happy. I'm completely in love with RagaMuffins - they are a world apart, so loving and oh so stunning. Please, please, please can I adopt another of your special babies? I would absolutely adore to have another RagaMuffin and I know that Melanie would love a companion too. And one of Blanche's and Walter's would be a dream come true!! It would be lovely for Melanie to have a companion if ever I'm out of the house and I know at heart she is a very social kitty. I've got butterflies in my tummy just thinking about it.
I also meant to mention earlier that she always greets me at the door, ahhh
Best

TIMOTHY
Hi Jean,
I've seen some of the pictures of your new litters...they look beautiful!
I just thought I would send you a few pictures of Timothy as it's his first birthday. He has grown so much in particular in the last 3 months.
Hope you like them...he still has his lovely personality. My parents have fallen in love with him as well... and they've never been that fond of cats in the past!

MILLICENT/TIA (14.05.09)
Just a wee msg to say that Millie is fine. I have renamed her Tia, think she is starting to understand when I call her that and when my mum says it..........Thanks again, my mum is really enjoying having someone to look after and she loves her to bits, as do I.

SOPHIE BEA (13.10.09)
Hi jean
Here are a couple of pictures of Sophie. She is well settled and firmly party of the family. She loves feet and ankles and rolled up bits of paper. Her favourite toy is her play tunnel. Her favourite past time is watching the football with robin and sitting on the laptops when you are trying to use them (like right now). She has an adorable temperament that friends all comment on. Recieves lots of love and attention "and milks it to the full". She now owns the house and all the furniture and has the boys fighting to be the favourite. She is really getting big now and grows more lovely every day. Like mother like daughter we think, in nature and in looks. We are so glad we got her, we cant imagine the house without her now.
