Life with Bogart and Snoop

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 by Ragdoll Cat Stories

First of all I would like to say that looking at all the pictures that everybody has posted of their Ragdolls are absolutely gorgeous, this breed is the most lovey dovey cat that I have ever had Bogart will be a year old in August so I can't wait to see if he will get posted. We also have another cat Snoop who is nine years old that my daughter adopted from a rescue and from what I understand he has got alot of Maine Coon in him and people always have asked me if he was a Maine Coon, my daughter moved to Florida hence we have Snoop but ever since Snoop has turned 9 he has had quite a few medical problems which I have researched on and usually this happens to indoor males, which I found to be very odd, I know this is suppose to be all about Ragdolls but I feel since Bogart is a male also other people may benifit from Snoop, he has first Urinary Tract Disease which I found out because Snoop started to vomit quite a bit but he didn't have any of the other symptoms of urinary problems I had brought this problem up several times with the vet and we were always told that Snoop was overeating we had 2 other cats and one went to kitty heaven 2 years ago and she was almost 20 years old and Chloe was 11 who had kidney problems both were Himalayans, well as we all know how expensive it is to go to the vet and Snoop was referred to a specialist for the vomiting because as he got older it got worse and I decided to change Vets also and she was the one who referred him to a internal medicine Vet and after many blood tests that came back normal, medication that he was vomiting it all up after we gave it to him, he decided to do a endoscopy well it came back as mild allergic gastitis which he is now taking prednisone and he has not vomited and also his stools are normal, he would have a normal stool that would go into diarrhea and I have to say this specialist has been wonderul he emails me everyday, he has kept Snoop for a week at the hospital and not charged me and even before his endoscopy his kidney functions were not were he wanted them and he kept him at the hospital for 2 days on a IV and he did not charge me, he just kept telling me that Snoop was a special cat. So the reason for my story is how much I have learned from Snoop and being that Bogart is young now but if I don't feel compfortable with a answer from a vet get a second opinion,Snoop may not have that Urinary Tract Disease because what was happening with the vomiting he was getting dehydrated off and on so I hope my story helps anybody and so far so good with Snoop and now he and Bogart play and chase each other all over the house, and by the way we adopted Bogart from Blue Gem and I would recommend Mary who lives in Mass. VERY HIGHLY.

My first Ragdoll Cat

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 by Ragdoll Cat Stories

Well Bogart is my first Ragdoll, I also have a Maine Coon who is 9 yrs old now, we did have a himalayan Chloe who we had to send to cat heaven and Snoop seemed so lost that we decided to get a Ragdoll which I have always wanted, Bogart has been wonderful and I would love to get another but it took awhile for Snoop to get use to Bogart not knowing he was still grieving over the loss of our beloved Chloe but now we are a happy family, and I just love ragdolls, they are so smart and I always wanted a lap cat whicch he is!! He was born this past August and we have had him since October, I did a lot of research before we got Bogart and I knew this was the cat we wanted, the only thing that I do advise is to get to know your breeder, I had a bad expierence before we got Bogart and it taught me a very hard lesson. Anyway this is a picture of Bogart!!

My tick tock cat.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 by Ragdoll Cat Stories
Ragdoll CatMy family and Iwere looking for a new addition to our familiy. We had never had a family cat before but after doing our research we found that a Ragdoll would be a good choice. We looked at several cats online and found Merlin's Hope Ragdoll Rescue. My husband, my daughter and I all went together. There were so many beautiful cats too look at. One had been with one owner his whole life, but when she passed away from old age he was placed in a kill shelter. Merlin's Hope rescued him. We were introduced to Brody and we fell in love. Brody has a condition with his eyes that make them go back and forth a little, it seems that made him a little hard to adopt him out. But I found his little condition endearing, he reminds me of one of those 1950's Cat Clocks where the eyes move back and forth. And that is how Brody got his nick name, "My Big Fat, Tick Tock Cat". Thank you Merlin's Hope, I never thought I could love a cat this much. I'm so happy we found eachother. I'm sure Brody's previous owner is looking down from Heaven smiling knowing her baby found his forever home.

Ragdoll Rescue Indiana: Schroeder: Ragdoll Rehoming

Saturday, September 24, 2011 by Ragdoll Rehoming Team
Ragdoll Rescue IndianaBeautiful pure bred Ragdoll cat. Specifically, a Blue Bi-Color Ragdoll. One look and you will fall in love! This cat is our second Ragdoll as we love their floppy, easy going manor. We purchased him from a breeder, but regretfully can no longer keep him.

Schroeder had a bit of trouble with forming crystals in his bladder early on, which were remedied by changing his diet to moist mixed with a bit of water. He can not have dry food. This has posed a problem with our older Ragdoll, who refused to eat when only moist was served, and lost several pounds. So, we feed them separately, but Schroeder is aware of being kept from the dry food and is jealous. This is causing him to act out by not using his litter box that the two share.

He us on meds for behavior modification, but I feel he would be happier if he did not have to be in a home with other cats. He gets along well and is very playful, but very jealous and it is unavoidable.

Schroeder has some endearing behaviors like standing on his back feet and stretching up his paws to you like a bear, or sleeping in any position. He is well groomed, and still has a kitten face although he is a big cat, as most Ragdolls are. He loves to be in the same room with you, and will lay nearby.
I am praying for a good home for Schroeder, where he is a loved member of the family. He is great with kids, but easy going as he is, the kids should be watched to not hurt him. He is not declawed, and has a scratching post that he lives and uses instead of furniture. Any other use if his claws seems to be purely accidental as he stretches them or plays.

Ragdoll Rescue Indiana

Here are pictures of Schroeder.  We actually made a calendar of him!  He also has a heart shaped “birthmark” or coloration on the bottom of his foot
