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 positioned in Houston, Texas, after two hurricanes destroyed their pretty residence in Westlake.
How Scarlett Received Her Identify
Scarlett’s title was chosen primarily based on her coloration 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 joke…my husband was unhappy to be the one one in the home with out his personal cat. He’s very a fan of orange cats, and I insisted on a woman. I’m group…. Women are simpler in multiple-cat households.
I first referred to as our native breeder Cooper Catz by 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 bit digging into the dames and sires of Shari’s cats. I noticed considered one of her cats was from Louisiana. I positioned a chilly name to Anne within the first week of December.
Scarlett was by no means marketed or actually on the market. We talked for hours about Scarlett. Anne requested many questions associated to my expertise with cats, residence setting, my native veterinarian, and different pets within the residence.
Scarlett was presupposed to be considered one of her private present cats, however the sudden lack of her daughter made adoption the perfect 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 canceled. I frantically spoke with the airline and made the choice to drive to Charlotte an hour and a half away. I flew in my automobile to Charlotte to catch the Houston flight. As soon as in Houston, I met very briefly with Anne and picked Scarlett up within the drop off space of the airport. We had to return by TSA.
I needed to take away Scarlett from the service bag; she buried her head in my sweater and thru the scanner we went. Scarlett was a trouper. She will need to have been so scared; leaving her household/siblings, a loud airport, a aircraft trip, and assembly a brand new household with established grownup cats all in in the future.
Scarlett At the moment
I can’t say sufficient good issues about Anne Paul. She actually cares for the ragdoll breed. Her kittens are of the very best high quality, wholesome, and social. She raises the kittens in her residence along with her granddaughter. Anne had all her data updated and her spay was already finished. My private vet stated she was the healthiest kitten she had ever seen from a breeder.
To make sure Scarlett would bond with my husband, I spent two weeks on the couch. I made him feed her, clear her litter field and play along 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 latest 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 a really thick coat that requires each day brushing to maintain the mats out. She is the sweetest cat. She lets me clip her nails and shave round her backside.
Scarlett is a heavy sleeper and finds essentially the most comfy positions. I might undoubtedly fly to Houston once more for an additional considered one of Anne’s infants. As I’m typing, Scarlett is sleeping in my mattress, dreaming about one thing incredible….she chirps and thrills in her sleep. And I simply love that about MY cat!
Merlin
That is Merlin’s final day at our residence earlier than his condominium life started. Merlin got here from Cooper Cats and belongs to my 22-year-old daughter. He has an Instagram web page I started whereas his momma was away at school and dwelling with us. @Merlin_Ragdoll_Felon
His deal with “felon” happened trigger he was doing time within the “huge home” whereas his gurl was gone to school. Merlin was the little bully in our completely satisfied residence. He ran a decent gang and wouldn’t let the women in what he deemed his a part of the home.
We FaceTime with Merlin at the least as soon as per week and go to him frequently. Ragdolls are usually not like different cat breeds. They honestly miss you and wait so that you can come residence. Since he moved out, Scaredy Scarlett has taken the alpha position and retains all of the cats sweetly so as! It has been so enjoyable to see her persona blossom.
