       Cats are one of the easiest pets to care for. They
        can amuse themselves for hours, are fastidiously
        clean,  and do not require a lot of  maintenance.
        With their silky, non-matting coat, grooming  a 
        Ragdoll is a breeze. Simply brush them with a steel
        comb a few times each month.

 

For owners with allergies, Ragdolls are a good bet because they tolerate baths well when started at a young age.  Simply bathe them twice a month to keep allergens down. They are truly adaptable cats and special loving companions. They get along with people of all age groups and lifestyles. Ragdolls have a playful nature and are eager to interact. They will want to share in everything you do. Ragdolls will fill your life with a special warmth because of their presence. They will invite you to play and amuse you with their antics. They will snuggle up lovingly beside you and comfort you when you are sad. Ragdoll owners readily admit they are captivated by their Ragdolls' sweet temperament, beautiful coat, generous size, and amazing blue eyes. Whether you adopt one, two or more, you will truly enjoy the companionship of the Ragdoll.

                 Persians are Adorable and Glamorous!!
 
The Persian Cat is an extremely popular breed.  Persians have long, soft, luxurious coats and large, round expressive eyes. Beneath all that beautiful fur is a cobby, well-muscled cat with short, thick legs. The Persian has a round head and a short nose. The ears are small, widely spaced, and set low on the head. Eye color depends on the color of the coat. 
 
Persians need to be combed and brushed daily to prevent mats and tangles. Bathing your Persian once a month will help keep its coat looking, feeling and smelling great.  If the grooming routine sounds like no problem, you are ready to add a Persian to your life.
 
Persians capture attention because of their beautiful looks, but win hearts with their sweet, gentle personalities.  They are quiet, docile and sweet-natured.  Once you bring home your new Plush Palace Persian Kitten, you will be blessed with a special love and companionship for many years to come.

How old should a Kitten be when it goes to a new home?

First printed in CATS Magazine, February 2000 

"Separating a Kitten from mother, siblings and familiar surroundings
at too early an age can cause undue anxiety and stress at the least,
and serious medical problems or even death in the very worst cases".

Bringing Home a New Kitten

With a little knowledge and preparation, bringing home a new Kitten can be a great experience. The most important thing to do before taking home a new Kitten is to prepare in advance. Like babies, Kittens are liable to get into all sorts of interesting situations. It is important to safeguard your home before your new Kitten arrives.  Give away all poisonous plants. ( The Humane Society of the Unites States has an extensive list of these titled " Common Poisonous Plants" at www.hsus.org). Stowe cleaners and chemicals. Put away breakable heirlooms. Secure blind cords out of reach to prevent strangling and pick up all small items that a Kitten might swallow. Electrical cords are another source of danger. Keep your Kitten away from extension cords and electrical outlets. Inquisitive Kittens my chew cords or play with them. Keep the doors closed on your washer and dryer, and make sure the toilet lid is down. Candles are another common household danger to cats. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Heat sources such as fireplaces, wood burning stoves, kitchen stoves, and ovens are also dangerous to your cat. Kittens especially like to explore, and they will find hazards that you never even knew existed. 

Before you bring your Kitten home, set up a "safe room" for the new arrival to call his own for a while. This gives him security, privacy and facilitates the settling process.  Put everything the Kitten will need in this room. Let the Kitten explore his room on his own. He'll probably be a little on-edge and may hide, or he might start exploring and sniffing everything. Be patient and give him time to adjust. 

Once you have Kitten-proofed your home and set up a "safe room" it's time for Kitty to come home. For young children, few things are more exciting than a new Kitten. Establish guidelines for your children ahead of time. Observe each time your child interacts with the Kitten until you are confident with the level of gentleness and safety.

Moving In Supplies

 

Your new Kitten will need some "moving in" supplies. It's a good idea to buy everything you will need
ahead of time. Take a trip to your local pet supply store and purchase the items listed below: 

 

Cat Carrier
Bring your new Kitten home in a cat carrier. Cat carriers are a safe and familiar place for your Kitten

when you visit the veterinarian or travel, and can keep your curious Kitten out of trouble when need be. 

Litter Box and Scoop

This can be elaborate or as simple as you want. When you arrive at home, show your Kitten its litter box.
 

Litter
Stick with the same type litter your Kitten is used to. This reduces the number of changes it experiences

in such a short time. Clumping cat litter is not recommended for use in homes that have Kittens. If a Kitten walks through a wet patch of litter and then licks his feet, he could ingest the clumping material. This could lead to a serious blockage of the intestinal tract. 

Food and Water Dish
Use bowls from your cupboard, or buy ones specifically designed for pet use. Do not use plastic bowls.

They retain food odors and harbor harmful bacteria that can make your Kitten sick. 

Kitten Food
Purchase the same type and brand of food your Kitten was eating before you brought him home. Switching brands or types of food can make a new arrival confused or stressed and could cause an intestinal upset.

Bed
Kittens love to sleep, and they tend to make their bed anywhere that looks comfy. There are many types of cat beds available. Establish a sleeping place for him right away, but think twice before you make that spot your bed. Once he gets comfortable, your Kitten may sleep there for the rest of his life...so be sure that would be Ok with you. 


Toys
Cat toys are a must for any cat owner. Give your curious and active Kitten fun and safe outlets for play. Choose both solitary and interactive toys. Whatever type you choose, you must make sure they are safe for your Kitten. Be sure they do not contain anything that can be chewed off or fall off and become a choking hazard. 

Scratching Post

All Kittens scratch as part of their natural behavior. Whether homemade or purchased, give your new Kitten
a legitimate place to scratch.   
 
Grooming Tools 
Although cats are clean animals and they bathe themselves daily, your Kitten will need some basic grooming assistance from you. Start a regular grooming regimen when you bring your new Kitten home. The earlier you start grooming, the more readily he or she will adjust to it. You will be given information and techniques to help you with the grooming of your new Plush Palace Kitten.
 
 

 

 

 
All  Things Bright And Beautiful 
 
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all. 
 
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
 
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
 
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
 
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day.
 
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
