Wow, it's been a whole week since I posted an update on babies! They are now 3.5 weeks old. Time flies!
Lots of activities and excitement this week for the Lions Royale Ragdoll family.
The color and pattern of the kittens is becoming much clearer so I'll be sure to update with photos over the weekend.
These kittens are very slow to pick up on eating on their own. The routine has been me sitting on the floor beside their bed, babies come out crying to me and they climb up onto my lap all by themselves to get their meal. I try to feed one at a time but they know very well how to get onto my lap and they climb back up as quick as I set them down! I use a big feeder syringe and it's too cute to see these five little faces turned up looking at me and waiting for their yummies. Now that they are cutting teeth it's a bit of a challenge to keep my fingers out of the waiting mouths!!
I'm trying to encourage them to eat from a plate but they haven't quite mastered that. Soon! Annie doesn't seem to have much milk so I'm feeding three times a day.
Lots of Show news for April
It seems that this was the month for Colorpoints!
LIONSROYALE ARTIO who's in Hong Kong is now a CFA CHAMPION after his first show the first weekend in April. Artio is a RED COLORPOINT male and he will continue on for his Grand Championship. Many thanks to Leo and Margaret of CatzMap Ragdolls!
CCA/CFA Champion LIONSROYALE WHIPPETTE has only one point to get this weekend to be THE VERY FIRST COLORPOINT
GRAND PREMIER in CFA!! What an incredible achievement for a FEMALE and a rare
LILAC COLORPOINT at that!! We will be in the annals of CFA history.
Kudos and THANKS to Brigitte and Luc of Chiffondolls for their hard work and dedication in taking our beautiful girl out. Whippette can now retire and enjoy her pampered life.
This weekend we have another colorpoint Ragdoll, a LILAC COLORPOINT named LIONSROYALE CHARMING CHICO who will be shown in TICA. I hope Chico does well and achieves his championship or better!
LIONSROYALE TIGGER, SEAL LYNX POINT MITTED, went out to her first show, a big three day show, in Maine. Little Tigger was in the kitten class so she wasn't vying for her championship. It was a good experience for her and she was very mellow about the whole experience. :) Thanks to Dorothy and Joseph of Mainelycountry Ragdolls for taking their baby girl out.
LIONSROYALE SAMANTHA EREVAN, BLUE LYNX POINT, in Quebec entered her first show in CCA. She was in the kitten class so wasn't vying for her championship. She did very well and achieved a 7th best final out of 42 kittens which was very nice for her first show. This was her new moms first time showing as well so I'm very proud of them!
LIONSROYALE PENELOPE has flown to HUNGARY to live at DAISYDOLLS cattery. Hajni plans to take Penelope out to a very special FIFE association specialty show early May! I'm so excited to hear how Penelope does. Penelope was picked up in person at the Toronto airport which was just wonderful. She arrived purring and happy. Thank you Hajni for adopting our beautiful baby girl. I miss her terribly!
LOLA is due any time. Her due date is the 18th. She seemed like she was planning to have them yesterday but has held off. I imagine she'll have them very close to her date. So exciting!
My second eye surgery is scheduled for the 23rd of this month so there may be a slight delay in my response to emails etc again. I'll be happy to have this all finished.
