Blue Bicolor Lynx Kitten Hurt His Paw

One morning I entered the kitten nursery and one kitten was holding his paw limply up in the air and running on the other three paws. He seemed sad that he could not keep up with the other kittens and since he was only 6 weeks old he wanted to play.

I never experienced this before and am unsure exactly how it happened. The main think is I want to make sure he was healthy and happy.

I took him to the vet and he said that he popped his wrist out of the socket. He put it in and wrapped up his whole leg. The boy was so brave and never cried except on the way home and so he was named Hercules.

Tomorrow we go back to the vet and hopefully they will remove the bandage and he will be 100%.

Zooey - Blue Mitted Ragdoll Kitten

Pictured above is Zooey who is a blue mitted Ragdoll kitten living in AL with her adoptive mom Katie. Zooey's parents are Cerafina and Maxwell.

The photo on the left was taken recently and the one on the right is on her trip home when she was about 3 months of age. That was the first photo Katie took of Zooey and was at a gas station on the way home from my house.

Katie has stayed in touch with me and I enjoy receiving updates on Zooey. I though others may enjoy the photos and to hear how things are going in one Ragdoll household.

Zooey is nicknamed "golden cat" by my family and friends because she is just that perfect! Literally, she has been more than I could have ever asked for from the moment I picked her up 6 months ago. She adjusted well to her new life here with me. She greets me at the door every time I come home, sits in the other chair at the table while I eat meals, and sleeps in my bed each night. Her favorite toys include her fish, fluff balls, and straws. We play fetch with the fish and fluff balls and she'll bat around the straws for hours. Really, Gail, I could not ask for a better companion. Being a young professional living on my own it is so nice to have Zooey here with me. I have no idea what I did before her.


Thanks again! I don't think I could ever thank you enough! :)

Introducing New Kitten to Resident Cat

There is always much concern when one brings home a new kitten to a household with an existing cat. You hope the introductions go well but worry that your current pet will be upset and feel like their home is being invaded.



It is normal and your sweet cat may hiss and be upset for several weeks. Make the introductions positive and short and sweet and it will work out.



One of the best stories regarding this is from a resident blogger named Lynn.
She traveled 10+ hours via car to bring Megailee Bentley Edmund Spencer to his new home. He is a blue mitted lynx ragdoll kitten and his brother at home in PA is a seal bicolor named Boo. The introductions when smoothly and everything was done right. Bentley had a towel sent from his new home with Boo's scent on it days before his big trip. A towel with Bentley's scent was sent via mail days prior so that Boo could get used to that as well. The personalities of each feline was compatible. Boo is a gentle boy and Bentley is a fun loving sweet kitten who loves companionship. After a short period in his safety room the two met and became the best of buddies and are now inseparable. It is best when you bring a new kitten home to keep him/her in a safety room until everyone gets used to scents and s/he is quarantined for safety reasons. Always let the kitten set the pace and be safe.


Bentley and Boo sleep together, eat together, and play together. They have a very special relationship. Sometimes mom and dad may feel left out but they shouldn't worry. Sometime soon Bentley will snuggle with them as well as his big brother. Bentley is one lucky kitten to be with his wonderful family.
