Blogs That feature Ragdoll Cats

All Photo and Text Copyright Life with Ragdolls 2013~2014




I thought it'd be fun to have a post listing all of the blogs I know of and follow that have Ragdoll cats.



Jenny Dean of Floppycats.com has two Ragdoll cats, Charlie a male Seal Mitted with an hourglass blaze and Trigg a Blue Lynx Mitted male. She also had Rags a male Seal Mitted  her second Ragdoll, and Skittles (male) her first Ragdoll, a Seal Mitted. Some times you can see Murphy her parents' 9 year old Seal Mitted Ragdoll with a broken hourglass blaze male, they also have Caymus, a Seal Mitted male.




Molly and Grabbarna (Molly and Grabbarna translates to Molly and Guys in English). They have 3 Ragdolls; Molly a female Blue Colorpoint, Luke a male Seal Colorpoint, and Asterix a Blue Colorpoint male.



RumbleBum has a Blue Mitted male Ragdoll with a star blaze named Hamlet, they also have a Maine Coon!


Clooney's Num-Num Fund has a beautiful Blue Bicolor female Ragdoll named Neytiri.


Animal Couriers has a Seal Bicolor Ragdoll, though I've never seen her. No clue what her name is.



Loved by Laura has two Ragdolls, both males, one Seal Colorpoint and one Blue Colorpoint.




CharliePuss has a male Seal Colorpoint.








And best of all.....

Review Day


Hi, 

Today we're reviewing some canned cat food by Wellness from Chewy.com, This food is grain free\by-product free, and great for cats with food allergies like Star. This food comes in a variety of flavors, and we were sent Chicken and Diced Turkey to review. This food is a little pricey and the price for this flavor is around $37 dollars for a 24 pack of food. Wellness Divine Duos has pieces of diced turkey and carrots in it, I personally prefer chicken over turkey when it comes to cat food, why? Because chicken contains taurine which is great for the heart, cats need a good amount of taurine in their diets, especially breeds like the Ragdoll and Maine Coon who are both prone to HCM, however any cat or kitten can develop HCM at any age, HCM is a genetic disease a lot of the time, especially in Ragdolls and Maine Coons, if a cat does not get enough taurine in their diet then they're at risk for heart disease, like HCM, so chicken (if raw) can help you cut down on HCM. Cooked chicken has had the ingredients good for cats cooked out of it, so cooked chicken does not contain the proper about of taurine or other ingredients good for your cat, cooked chicken is not very good for cats. 




I was sent 4 cans of this food to review, the cats split all of them in a matter of 1-2 weeks. Saphira especially liked the food, but Anya did not really care for it much, Star thought it was okay. I did not like how this food had like a "jelly" type material on the top of it, the canned food I reviewed back in November was not at all like this, it was made by Tiki Cat and costed $17 dollars for 12 cans of it with 9 flavors, this food by Wellness was $37 dollars for 24 cans and only 1 flavor. I strongly recommend Tiki Cat food, but as for Wellness, not so much. I do not totally dislike Wellness, as I have not tried their dry food on the cats, so I cannot comment on how well their dry food is, but as for their canned food I'm not too impressed. I personally prefer Tiki Cat, Blue Buffalo, The Good Life Recipe, Newman's Own, Taste Of The Wild Side, and Fancy Feast (as a treat every now and then). I do however, like Wellness's cat treats. This has nothing to do with Chewy.com, I love Chewy, and I think its really cool and fun that they allow bloggers to test out a product of their choice once or twice a month, I am super glad I am allowed to participate. Its really fun!! :-D They're a great company.





Pros:

* Cats liked it.
* Great customer service (as always!).
* Grain free\by-product free.
* No corn, no sow, no wheat etc.
* Lots of flavors to choose from.
* Minimal smell.



Cons: 


* Pricey.
* Jelly stuff on top of food.









See what I mean about this jelly stuff? Tiki Cat did not have this.



Saphira loved the food!




Wellness Divine Duos, has great ingredients.

Hi, y'all!

I am proud to announce that I'm finally catching up with my blog! Yay! Hopefully that will never happen again. I have switched from blogging on my iPhone 4S to a Macbook Pro, and I can say that its really working out for me. I am disappointed in myself recently regarding Life with Ragdolls, I have let it get down a lot and have failed dramatically in keeping up with this site, and my followers' blogs, but most of all, I am super disappointed in not being able to finish my "promised" reviews, not only have I disappointed myself, but also the companies involved in me doing reviews!

Photohunters: Candle, Precious, Beauty, and Craft

I've been absent for a long time. My apologies. Crazy time of year, and getting more and more difficult to blog. Ugh. 

Photohunters "Candle". I hate the smell of this candle, but I really like candles.



Photohunters: "Precious". These two are/were precious to me. I will never forget my Nico. 



Photohunters: "Beauty". Just look at Acadia's beauty of land.



Photohunters: "Craft". I know it looks like shit, but we're working on a craft of brownies.

Review Day

Hi,

Today is another review day. This time we are reviewing 3 sets of cute cat toys for the kitties! (Duh, they always get what they want lol). This is another older review, I am unaware of the exact date I reviewed them, but it was some time ago. They are 3 gold fish toys (and I mean the snack shapes, not the actual live fish), 3 strawberries, one chocolate dipped one, one vanilla dipped one, and one strawberry dipped one, and 4 candy bunny peeps! One blue one, one pink one, one yellow one, and one purple one!  
Pictures are below:

Here is the link to her Etsy shop: Here!

Their smiles and eyes are rubed away though, in fact they were already half way gone when I got them. But my 3 girls still love them regardless of their facial features. ;-)


These are so cute that they actually have stems and strawberry seeds! I just love them! The only thing is is that Nico really liked the pink one, and now that he's dead it makes me a bit sad to see it lying around on my floor. :-(  I have a whole file bucket in my closet that contains 90% of Nico's belongings, but a few things hang around; he had so many things I can't keep in his memory box, that either won't fit due to size or it would break; he has many thank-you notes, love-notes, and sympathy-notes, after he died and when he was alive. I have at least $600+ dollars worth of notes for Nico before and after he died, but to me and him they are worth their weight in solid gold.



These simply just don't get any cuter than this. My felines love them, the blue one is Nico's and is very important to me as it is a peice of him. These (like all of the toys) have fresh and organic catnip inside of them!


 This picture is suppose to be long-ways.


Saphira loves 'em!


Again this picture was suppose to be long-ways. Just look at the adorable little pink bow attached!



Note: I only originally asked if I could do a review for just the gold fish, but the shop owner on Etsy was very nice and generous and included the bunny peeps and dipped strawberries!! She was such a nice person!! :-) 


Pros:

• Fast shipping
• Fabulous customer service; she is an incredibly nice women
• Cats love them
• Fresh and certificated organic catnip inside
• Made well and look real
• Strong material



Cons:

• The gold fishes' eyes and smiles rub away very easily





Hugs,

Review Day

Note: This review will be short due to the holidays coming up! 

Note: I cannot seem to find the shop owner on Etsy, so I will not add a link. Sorry for the troubles!

Today is a review from an Etsy shop. This time it is two awesome cat toys! One is a sea star. Yes, they're called sea stars, not star fish. Because they are actually indeed not even fish! The other toy is, well, I forget; I accidentally kinda broke it when I opened the box. :-( But the cats still love and play with it! :-) I wish I hadn't broke it.
This is the one I broke by mistake. Oops. I think it was a ring? The cats now play with it as a ball now. 

Sea star - the cats like this one a little better than the toy I broke, but they all play with them both. These toys do not contain any trace of catnip inside, so these would be good for cats and kittens who don't care for catnip, but two of my cats do. Star likes it sometimes, but not always.






Pros:

• Good shipping
• Cats like them
• Cool colors
• Nice customer service
• Hand made
• Strong material 
• Nice prices
• No catnip for cats who don't like it




Cons:

• No catnip, which is a con for my cats. But remember, that every cat is different so this varies from cat to cat

Keep Seeing My Dead Cat?

Call me crazy, nuts, weird, an idiot, whatever. But I literally saw Nico at 12 AM. But I know what I saw. This photo is not of him as of now, but it is one of him after he was dead. I have seen Renato once or twice after he died, but I keep seeing Nico almost daily. I'm not sure if he was jealous over my past relationship with Renato, (and for getting him so fast after Nico died), or could he be checking on Anya? Or me? Nico and Anya were littler mates. I keep seeing Nico and I don't know why so often. I love his "visits", but they also remind me of what I once had and never will again. I don't want his "visits" to stop, and I feel blessed that they happen so damn often, but I'd like to know why -- why not Renato? Or Tadpole? Or anybody else (both human and animal).







Any advice? If I don't receive any comments big deal, as I also have other ideas...

Review Day

First I am proud to announce that I am now down to only 4 reviews left! Yay!


This one came from a Shop on Etsy, I was originally sent 8 cat toys, but now we're now down to only 4. I have no clue where the other 4 went. Maybe my closet? Under my bed? I would have to look. 

They look a lot like figure eights, don't they? Both Renato and Nico liked playing with them before they passed away. They are knitted yarn on top of black hair ties. I hope the hair ties hadn't already been used! Gross! But more than likely they're not. I wouldn't recommend these to cats under the age of 1 year, as they're kinda flimsy and break easily. But cats do love them. Indeed they do. I can't recall the *exact* price, but I think they were around $8 dollars. 

Saphira.






Pros:

• Good customer service
• Okay shipping
• Cats love them 
• 8 toys
• Good prices
• Hand made





Cons:

• Not for little kittens!
• Break easily 
• Flimsy
• They get lost easily too

Review Day

About 1 week ago, I got to review 12 cans of grain free/by-product free canned cat food. It is made by Tiki, I love Tiki cat and it is now one of my top 5 favorite cat foods to feed my 3 girls. This review came from Chewy. Com, and as always I am very happy with this review. In addition to 12 cans of food, there is also 9 fine flavors, what a bargain!! The cats first flavor they tried was the Beef and Liver, the last flavor they tried was the Tilapia.
This food is USDA certificated and safe for human consumption! Wow!


This review is short as it is crazy busy around here! But here is the link to Chewy. Com

Pros:

* Fast shipping
* Great customer service
* Cats love it
* USDA certificated and safe for human consumption
* Grain free/by-product free
* 9 flavors





Cons:

* Bonito Tuna made Saphira vomit

Double Review Day:

I have two long over due reviews, one is from somewhere between November (2013) -February of  2014. The other one is from May 2014 I think. The reason I have been so damn slow to get my reviews done, is because its been crazy as fuck around here!!


The two products are from two different shop owners on Etsy, I can't take the stress of this any longer, so I am now doing double review days, this is the last time I try to handle over 200 products from 500 companies! You may think I'm lying but I have at least 14 reviews I need to do (not counting the two I'm doing now), one review on the way, and at least 2 companies that have me on their next blogger review list! This year has been out of control. I promise 2015 to be clutter free! That will give me 12 peaceful months of blogging and reviewing, I look forward to 2015....


Listen, I'm in deep shit if I fail to get these reviews done before January, so I need to get them done ASAP or I'm going to have some furious shop owners/companies from people, and not to mention emails. And trust me, who the fuck wants to go through what I'm going through? No one, I thought so. So please bear with me for 2 weeks+ at least to get these done, expect to have Mondays and Saturdays free of reviews, as that is when I do Nico and Renato Monday, and my PhotoHunts on Saturday, but this isn't a guarantee, unfortunately. I forgot to do my PhotoHunt last Saturday again. Fuck.... 


Fucking Blogger is a bitch, and deleted my saved 3 hour review for the other product I wrote, so now I have to go re-write the whole fucking thing some other day. But for now enjoy just one review...


The first one is 6 catnip toy pillows from an Etsy shop, I cannot find the fourth UF pillows unfortunately, my cats are masters at hiding stuff from me, but then again what cat isn't? 










They are hand made with organic catnip inside. The cats love them, and play with them a lot. Two of the UF pillows are orange on the back and say "University of Florida" (aka UF), and the other two pillows are blue on the back and say the same thing. On the front is the same Gator/UF collage, on all 4. And it is shown on the picture above. The other two pillows are pictured above. 





UF pillows.



Under side.





What UF stands for.



Note: if you don't care for UF, then there are a few other teams you can choose from




Pros: 

• Fast shipping
• Good customer service
• Cats love them
• Catnip stuffed
• Strong material



Cons:


• A few of the stitches on the outer rims are coming a bit loose. 









The next review is pictured below:
