Hi everyone

I am starting a blog about our 2 cats, Maisy and Teddy. Teddy is our new 13 week old Ragdoll kitten joining our existing 3 and a half year old cat.

We have been waiting patiently for Teddy to arrive for nearly a year and he was more than worth the wait! We contacted a breeder of Ragdolls last year called Tanya, who couldn't have been anymore help to us and gave us all the info we could have needed. So yesterday was the day! We eagerly picked him up in the morning and brought him back in the car, he was actually a very good boy on the way home and after a few cuddles he settled down and fell asleep. 

When we arrived home we were unsure of how our older cat Maisy would react to little Teddy, and we kept him in his carrier for Maisy to sniff, although she kept a reasonable distance between them both, Teddy was not phased and just watched her. We are trying to introduce them slowly in the hope that they will possibly be the best of friends one day, but realise it will be a slow process for Maisy knowing she has been a (very spoilt) only cat :-) We had been long anticipating the arrival of a second cat to our household and a Ragdoll seemed like the prefect addition and obviously there is a part of me which deep down wishes they could get along straight away- although I know this is not a realistic expectation! :-) just me being hopefull!

We think with the excitment of the day Teddy had worn himself out, and was out for the count most of the evening, but had surprised us with how quickly he had settled into our home and it was almost as though he had been here for days before! In the night time, we gave in to temptation and let Teddy sleep in our room, again he slept for pretty much the whole night only waking once or twice to lick mine or my partners face and to snuggle up beside us both. We can already tell how loving he is going to be, he loves being picked up and cuddled and literally purrs all the time! 

In all of this we have made sure to show Maisy her normal amount of attention (if not more! :-) ) to make things not seem so different. We look forward to updating this blog on Maisy and Teddy and all their adventures together <3
