Our breeding
cats are our pets too, and the females have the run of the house
when they are not in heat or raising kittens. Our stud boy has
to be kept separated to assure a good breeding program, but he
does have time each day to run around, safely wearing his 'stud
pants'. He spends the rest of his time in our Family Room, so
is never lonesome. Ragdolls do love their people, even when
they are also focused on 'lookin' for women'.

Marissa
|
(Whimbrel's
Marissa of FossMtn)
 Marissa
is a beautiful girl whose parents originally came from my
cattery. I'm getting back some of the lines that were lost
through retirements. Her grandparents, JimmyMack and
MoonShadow, still live here. Marissa is a seal bicolor who
has great eye-color and size. Bred to Rusty, she should
produce both mitteds and bicolors in both seal and blue.
She has a sweet temperment, so her kittens should be
awesome!

DELILAH |
(Beechridge Delilah of FossMtn)
Delilah
is a very outgoing, sweet and friendly seal mitted
girl who has
 been
added to our breeding program to bring back some of
the old lines we lost with the retirement of
MoonShadow and JimmyMack. Delilah is actually
MoonShadow and JimmyMack's great grand-daughter! She
has returned to her ancestral home, so to speak.
Delilah's parents are both seal mitted, but both
parents carry the blue gene. Based on the fact
that Delilah had blue kittens in her first litter,
they obviously passed the blue gene to Delilah too.
She and Rusty can produce both blue and seal kittens
in all three Ragdoll patterns.

MELODY |
(Ch. RomanticRags Melody of FossMtn)
Melody is
our first lynxpoint! She is a seal lynx colorpoint
who shows the tabby striping on her points, and
faintly on her bodycoat. She is our first departure
from the traditional lines of Ragdolls. After
having tabby cats for many years, I missed the
striped faces! Melody is a sweet, loving girl, who
loves to curl up on the lap and purrs and flops at
the drop of a hat. Bred to Rusty, she will produce
both seal and bluepoint kittens, in bicolor and
colorpoint patterns. Statistically, they should
produce 50% of their kittens with the lynx striping,
but of course, we take whatever comes!
Melody made her Champion title
in her first show with The International Cat Association
(TICA)!'Not a bad feat for a lynx-point!!
Melody also got these two awards for 2005:
Best
Seal Lynx Point Ragdoll of the Year in the Northeast
Region of The International Cat Association (TICA)
Third
Best Seal Lynx Point Ragdoll of the Year in TICA
overall
Thanks, Kathy, for giving me this gorgeous
girl.

Carrie-AnnE |

(Ch Racin'Rags
Carrie-Anne of FossMtn)
Carrie-Anne was our bluepoint mitted breeding female, with a
 little
snippet of a blaze on her nose. She had many beautiful
litters for us, but at five years old, it was time for her
to retire. She was somewhat intimidated by some of our many
other cats, so my decision was to find her a home where she
could be an 'only cat'. Out of the blue, a woman named
Donna called looking for a kitten, and when she found I was
retiring an adult, she asked is she could have Carrie-Anne
instead of a kitten. Well! Carrie-Anne is so happy in her
new home, and is doing things she never did here, like
playing with toys and rolling around on her back. The
pictures here are of her in her new home. She didn't miss
any of us for more than a minute! Thanks, Donna, for
giving Carrie-Anne a home where she is the center of
attention and doesn't have to deal with any other cats.

RUSTY
|
(Ch
Ragalong Rev It Up of FossMtn)
 Rusty came to us as a
generous gift from Racin'Rags Cattery. Susan was closing her
cattery and sent this beautiful young boy to us. He is a huge,
blue bicolor, who hails from the Canadian cattery Ragalong. In
keeping with
the car racing theme of Racin'Rags, Rusty's call name is for
Rusty Wallace, the Nascar driver. 'Rev It Up' he certainly
does, whenever he is out and about. He does love the ladies. Rusty was
shown as a kitten by Susan, and we are continuing to show him
off and on. He is very loving
and is a classic head-butter! He shares this trait with our
Blue Moon, who also shares his St Patrick's day birthday. We
took the shared birthday as a good
omen, as Blue Moon was the cat who started us on our Ragdoll
journey. Rusty made Champion title with the Cat Fancier's
Federation (CFF) while he lived with Susan. We've shown him
since and he has also made Champion title with The International
Cat Association (TICA). Way to go, big boy!
