4. Thanks guys...

I will get pictures this weekend.

I'm at work now, as of 8 this morning she hadn't had another, but she still looks a little fat.

I just wanna go home to my babies!!!

BTW - I'm taking bets - Mom (Mouse)is a Torte Point, and Dad (Scooby) is a Seal Point - what colors will the kits be? I haven't been able to find a color chart listing Tortes, except one that says a Lilac and Seal Point will give you a 25% chance of a Torte. (Mouse's mom was a Seal Point, and Dad was a Lilac Point)

Scooby

These pics were taken when they were only 10 mo. old, so their colors are darker now. You'll see when I post the pictures on Monday.

5. I love Ragdolls!! Are you a breeder

or is this just a litter or two? I've never had one, only want one badly. Are they as loving and huggable as their reputation?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. nope! this was NOT on purpose! lol

I got Scooby from a friend (Mom had papers, but Dad didn't) so he was cheap! (Yet Priceless!). He called again a few months later, he had a female that no-one wanted because she was "Mis-marked'.
So I brought her home, she was supposed to be fixed! Well, she wasn't, and I haven't had the cash to get Scooby snipped.

They are absolutely the best cats as far as I'm concerned! Very smart, social, and gorgeous!

6. Just got home from work..... now there are 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody want a kitty!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. So sad, lost one last night....

Right after I posted the above.
He was the last one born, and just wasn't very strong.

[Dookus]

9. aww

[LDS Jock]

[ET Awful]

11. Poor little thing :(

:hug:

[Eurobabe]

19. sob, poor little thing!!

Oh Viva, here's hoping that you are able to keep all the others healthy. Hope mama is nursing them now -- having to hand feed 5 kittens, can't imagine. Please let us know later how things are coming along. I feel like a nervous nellie for you!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

12. Another one! I gotta take them to the vet..

I think she's losing her milk, or she just doesnt have enough for all of them,, How to you hand feed a kitten? and with what? help guys!

[Lorien]

13. Get a KMR milk kit (for kittens, raccoons, etc.) at PetsMart

or PetCo-go quickly!!

[Gelliebeans]

15. yes KMR works wonders

but you have to feed them all through the night

[Lorien]

17. I raised both a kitten and a baby raccoon on it

both grew up quite nicely!

[meow2u3]

18. And Oberon too?

The myth that a Maine Coon is either a cross between a cat and a raccoon, or the fact that Maine Coons are cats who often act like raccoons!
:)

[Lorien]

21. Lol! Not quite

I raised this kitten:


who became my beloved Peewee. I lost him in 2003 and still miss him terribly :cry:

and this raccoon, little Velcro. She was found by one of my students in a freeway toll booth plaza, and was eventually returned to the wild. She really believed i was her mama and loved me with a singular devotion:


Though Oberon does eat with his paws. ;-)

14. fingers x's

hope everyone is fine! I have two Ragdolls
I love the breed.
post pictures when and if you can, it's been a year since my girls were small (13 and 14 pounds) and still growing
They make the best pets!:hi:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. An update..... I think we are OK...

The three that survived are doing better! I only hand feed them when they are still crying after they have just nursed, and I haven't had to all day. They all have fat little tummies, and sleep very soundly, but are very active when they are awake. #1 is HUGE and tries to bully the other two, especially the runt, I haven't had to hand feed him at all. I have to go to work tomorrow, and I'm a little worried...but they have done well all on their own today.

Thanks for all you're well wishes... and I took several pictures that I will upload tomorrow.

for now...

#1 is the biggest and like I said, a pig. He seems to have dark grey rimming his ears.. so my guess is he will be a seal or chocolate point.

#2 is smaller and also has the grey on his/her ears.

#3 is the runt and has a definite yellow tinge compared to the others.. so maybe a lilac or a cream.

Scooby is feeling fairly ignored... he just hangs out with me all day, and looks towards the closet every once in a while. Sniffed the babies once, and didn't appear to understand what the fuss was all about.
