Introducing Soulmates Clara of LittleApple

Clara is our beauty queen and she comes to us from Soulmate Ragdolls in North Carolina. She is a blue bicolor, with huge eyes, super soft fur, and the most beautiful of faces. She is super floppy and loves everyone she meets. She purrs constantly while you are petting her and will lay on our laps forever. She also loves to sleep with us. Her favorite place in our home is in a basket on top of our tv armoire. Her favorite toy is the mylar wands and she is a bit of a drama queen if anyone else gets too close while she is playing ;-). She is often at our window watching the birds on the bird feeders and if I'm on the computer she is trying to catch the mouse curser. We are excited about Clara, she has a sweet and fun personality. We can't wait to see her kittens this fall.

Introducing Lodi of Little Apple

We raised Lodi here at Little Apple from our last Emma and Crispin litter. She is a perfectly marked seal lynx bicolor girl. She has the fullest fluffiest tail of any of our girls. In fact, it sometimes looks bigger than her body. Lodi is going to be a big girl. Her favorite things are sleeping by my feet, playing with the little pipe cleaner toys, and hanging out with her good friends Almata and Ida. She also loves to drink water from the faucet. She will come running from anywhere in the house when she hears me turn on water :-).

The sounds of pattering feet

Ahh...I love that sound. It's great to have Dora's kittens pattering through my living room as I write this. They are loving all the space to run and all the places to explore. It's fun to watch them discovering all the new things now that their world has become a lot bigger. They still don't know what to think about me walking through the house and the toilet flushing makes them jump. It's just a fun time for me to watch them learn and mature...and a fun time for them as they grow and explore.

The older kittens are having fun exploring my mom's home and though I miss out on seeing them as much as I get to see the kittens here, it's fun to hear about them. They love playing under the couch and on top of it. They also love running up and down the stairs. Pink Pearl's kittens are getting close to being ready for their new homes and we will miss them when they go. I love listening to the girls twitter while they play and watching little Mel bravely going out into the unknown with his tail straight up. All of them are real cuddlers and everyone that sees them can't help but say how beautiful and soft they are. It will be sad to see them go, as always, but it's fun to hear how they fit into their new families.

We are also starting to prepare for Sweet Gala, Emma, and Pink Pearl to leave us. We are retiring these three girls from breeding. It's always hard to see our girls go because we have had them with us so long and they are part of our families. But, we also know they will enjoy joining new families and living the good life of retirement, so that makes it easier on us.

Quiet...kind of




My house is strangely quiet now that all our Emma and Bailey kittens are gone. Dora's kittens are about ready to come out of the litter training room, so that will start to change soon. I will have kittens running around again, getting involved with my chores, playing with everything in site. I enjoy the busy, noisy, fun household of kittens. Of course right now, it's not really "quiet" since our young breeding queens are singing all about how they are ready to have kittens - they are not, but they think so ;-). Still, it feels quiet without all the kitten activity.
