Our cat is up the duff. She's a RagDoll breed. About 30 days still to go with 10 weeks before they can leave mum.
Ultrasound says at least 3 kittens.
Hi Ian, a friend at work has a love of all animals, his house is like a small zoo, owning a dog, cat, rabbits, rats, hamsters, giant snails, a parrot, a small snake and a lizard of some sort, just showed him your post and he would love to take one off your hands, you can e-mail me and i can give you his contact number.
Retro Andy.
thanks, I'm at work on the iPhone, but I'll be in touch about it.
Many thanks Ian, talk to you soon.
Retro Andy
whats kitten like? do you stew it or fry it? ;D
Its up to you, but either way I'm told they taste like rabbit - lol
Cant be long now till the big day Ian, can you post some pictures of the little cuties, My friend is after one if still possible. Many thanks.
Retro Andy.
She's really fat now. I'll post pictures when they arrive. It's a bit scary as she is so big.
Ian
Cheers, looking forward to seeing a picture.
Retro Andy

she had four in the end, 1 black 2 ginger and 1 grey.
I cant get a picture ?
Retro Andy
It's a little early for portrates :)
Are they real Ragdoll breed,If so I have a friend that is interested???
Well done pussy,hehehe.
Well she is a propper RagDoll cat with papers, the father was a selected ally cat. The whole idea was simply to let her have a litter before sterilisation. I'm not a breeder - just wanting to do right by her - hence they are free.
In the paper moggies go for £30 quid and Ragdoll's are £300. So I figured free was a really good deal.
For what its worth, both father and mother are really nice cats.
Thanks,I will pass the information on,Chears.
I can see the picture now, when i tryed on the computer at work no picture came up, my mate Matt at work would still very much like one, they look litte cuties, should i get him to e-mail you ?
cheers Ian.
Retro Andy
Any way you like Andy, will be a good time yet tho. They are putting on weight rapid.
She had them at the vets, its been like a human birth. She had a scan and when the time was right she was induced as there were a few complications. Then she had an x-ray to make sure they were all out.
She aint just any old cat - she's my cat - lol so nothing but the best for her.
It cost me a bomb, but the kittens are still free to good homes. I feel happy that she's had a litter and done what she was made for :)
I know what you mean about looking after your pets.
They do become real members of the family , my little jack russell is like a pampered child ;D
Hi Umpa, if you wish to e-mail me your telephone number i can get Matt to give you a call, many thanks.
Retro Andy.

Hey Umpa - I'm really interested in a kitten from you. Can't seem to find your number (could be not looking on the right place) any chance you could give me a shout? my gmail / googlemail.com email is mikedx :)
Hi Mike,
I've sent you an email let me know if it does not arrive, and i'll sort something out.

lol - well i guess its because both Mum & Dad (Tissy & Tom) are indoor cats - having never been outside and wormed and vaccinated regularly I guess there are no nasties in them so none in the kittens.
Before I get the 'cats needing to go outside' lecture from anyone - these cats are very happy :) and don't poop on other peoples gardens - lol
Oh I forgot to mention :-
She has 2 Ginger Boys & 1 grey & 1 Black (with brown tuffs) Girls.
here's a use for any "left overs" ...a cat piano ! :o ;D
