Chesawood Daisy May (66w)
(Parlourpuss Barnaby x Adhirlo Christiana)
Milo is the cat responsible for starting my love affair with the Ragdoll. She was my very first Ragdoll bought in August 1998 as a birthday present to myself. I live on a busy road and had lost another much loved pet, Holly, to the road. I decided the next cat I had would be an indoor cat and together with my boyfriend we chose the Ragdoll breed. Even though she is not well marked I did take Milo out to some shows and she did have a good degree of sucess but her markings would always prevent her from winning a certificate. I was fully aware of that but wanted to see if I like showing before getting my first show cat. She is a quiet girl and loves her home comforts. She prefers to spend her time away from the other cats and asleep in her favourite spots. Always ready for a one on one fuss and purr and is, at ten years of age, still quite playfull. She is a good girl and does like a potter in the garden, like Willow. This is always supervised. She sleeps on mum's bed each night and is always waiting at the bedroom door for her to come in. A place she shares with Peggy and sometimes Rosie. Thank you to Christine Hodcroft for letting me have my big, woolly, girl.
Spiritdancers Peggy Patch (66g)
(Countryhouse Blue Morgan x Leasowes Solo)
Peggy is a blue tortie colourpoint girl and my first breeding girl. I fell head over heals in love with her when she was about six weeks of age and kept a close eye on her progress. I have always had a soft spot for tortie or calico cats no matter what breed. They have the most charming temperament all of their own. Peggy joined my in October 2004 and had her first litter in October 2005. She had three kittens, one Jimjams I have kept and the other two, Tilly and Timmy are with colleagues that I work with so I am constantly in touch with their progress. She is also the mother of Roxy, my seal tortie colourpoint girl that I have kept. She can be a very loving girl with people but can be quite a bossy lady when it comes to the other cats and is not adverse to giving her son a clip around the ear no matter how big he is. That's what mum's are for, I guess. She has good type for a Ragdoll, good firm chin, good profile and boning. Her fine silky coat that she does pass on to her babies takes very little maintenance. Peggy has now been neutered but her line carries on with Magisragis Busbys Babe. A big thank you to my good friend, Sue Allen, on letting me have this special lady as my first breeding girl.
Ragtasia Show Girl (66a)
( Champion Margelite Apple Jaque x Champion Adfurlo Ragtasiaspringtime)
Lola is a blue colourpoint who came to live with us at nine months of age. I had seen her as a kitten a couple of times and loved her expression. She is a quiet girl who comes into her own when she has babies. She loves her babies and is a fantastic mum. Then she comes out of her shell. Very vocal towards them and very proud of them. She teaches them to hunt by running around the house at top speed with a catnip toy in her mouth. She expects her brood to follow her so they can learn the ways of life. Most of the time they just want to play amongst themselves or have a quiet sleep but Lola has other ideas! It is quite funny to watch. She has good eye colour for a blue and a very pretty face. I would like to thank Matt Griffiths and Mike Scott of Ragtasia Ragdolls for this very pretty girl.

Daisy was without doubt the most beautiful cat I have ever owned. A true Ragdoll and a true lady. She was a very loving girl but did not suffer fools lightly. She knew her own mind and knew how to get her own way. She became a Champion in three consecutive shows and also gained two Grand Challenge certificates. Alas, that third was never to arrive. She was a fantastic mother and produced four beautiful boys - two of whom I have the pleasure of owning. She was put to sleep after suffering a very short illness from which she could never recover and has left a large hole in my heart and a space on my bed. I want to thank Lorraine Swain of Ragamews Ragdolls for the pleasure and honour of owning this beautiful girl. Thank you, Daisy, for sharing your life with me.

Roxy is the seal tortie girl I have always wanted. She was born a singleton on 6th February 2006 hence the name Busbys Babe in honour of the people who died in the Munich air disaster on that day in 1958. She is a red and proud. A pretty little girl who lives in a tortie world of her own most of the time. Very playfull and lively with a very loud purr. Loves nothing better than to sit on a high perch and watch life go by whilst daydreaming. Also has the nickname of Rocket as she can rush around at top speed, she always seems to have a lot to do. She has an extreme retrousse profile and what I consider to be very good Ragdoll type. Roxy had her first kitten in May 2009 and has proved to be a very good mother and has passed on her good looks to her little boy. My stud boy, Bert, is the father.

Rosie is a seal colourpoint and a special little lady full of charm and fun and very cute. Loves to be kissed and cuddled. Loves being in a show hall so she can make people smile and laugh by playing and rolling around in her pen all day. Not so keen on the car travel though so trips out are limited to prevent her getting upset. When she was a little kitten she had us all worried as she did not want to wean from her mum, Lola. She thought it would be fashionable to be a size zero. After lots of care and force-feeding she has grown into a little tank of a girl who loves her food. A little purr-pot guaranteed to put a smile on your face. A proper little Ragdoll.

Florence is the mitted breeding girl I have always wanted. Always wanted a mitted breeding girl and she would always be called Florence. She is very closely related to Dougal and Dylan on my boys page and as such is very special to me. Florence is very much a 'people' cat. You cannot leave her in a room on her own and she must always be on your lap purring her head off. You cannot read a newspaper in peace and quiet with this little lady around. She loves little kittens and sees them as great toys to play with, gently pushing them around the floor to her great amusement. She would never hurt them though. Florence or Flo-Jo is not perfectly marked so cannot be shown but with her very good type and fabulous temperament I hope she will produce some stunning mitted kittens for me. Thankyou, Sue Allen, for the Florence I have waited many years for.
