Red Rose Melissa Darya of Jazzmania Seal Colorpoint (now retired)

My love for cats began as a child on the family farm, where there were always at least 20 outdoor cats and kittens to be found. We would rarely see the kittens because the moms would keep them hidden in the barn, but at 6-8 weeks of age, they would come out of hiding and it was my personal mission to catch and tame each and every one! The only time kittens were permitted in the house was to lap up spilled milk from the kitchen floor when I "accidentally" on purpose knocked over the milk pitcher! I knew, even then, that some day I would have my very own indoor cat. My dream has more than come true thanks to Gail Bagley of Redrose Ragdolls, my friend and mentor. In addition to providing me with quality breeders, she spent hours sitting with me while my first litters were being born. Although now retired, Gail was and still is always available for questions and advice. Pictures of my adults and kittens can be found in Jazzmania's picture gallery - check it out! I have found the Ragdoll breed to be extremely loving but also feisty and lots of fun! They love to play and don't hesitate to let me know when it's time. Often the adults forget they're not kittens and join in the fun. My babies insist on being in the same room with me, no matter what I am doing. When I am typesetting in my sunporch office, they are curled up on the top of my computer or desk, in my lap, or on their cat trees. When I'm cooking in the kitchen, they are curled up on the windowsill watching. And of course, my favorite is nighttime when they all climb in bed and snuggle with me! Working with this wonderful breed has been one of the most joyful and fulfilling experiences of my life. Each cat and kitten has a special place in my heart and it is my goal to give them a good start in life and then see that they find their way into loving homes. My cats and kittens are never caged and lots of time is invested in socializing each and every baby.
