Artemis – Ragdoll of the Week
I had been looking into getting a Ragdoll for a few years. After reading many books and watching several YouTube videos about the breeds description, I found a breeder that was not too far from me. so I gave Cindy and Peter at Razl Dazl dolls a call. I want ready to get a kitten just yet but I saved her number and gave her a call back a few years later. she had one blue lynx mitted Male available by the name of Johnnu Cash. I fell in love with his picture instantly! All in all I gave to wait for around 4 months to get him because I was told there were no kittens available. but when I saw his picture on the website I couldn’t pass him up. his face was gorgeous and he seemed to be staring at me from the computer screen. So, I asked Cindy if I could get him and she was very enthusiastic about letting me get him home. so a couple of weeks later I made the 45 minute drive from Las Vegas to Jean nevada to pick him up. when I got Artemis home he was immediately in my lap. he wanted so much love and affection right away.
This is my Artemis. I got him from Razl Dazl dolls in hesperia California. I cannot recommend them because the breeder passed away. I found out that none of the cats or kittens were cared for very well after I bought his brother. I am very glad I got him out of that place. Artemis is my baby and will always have a very good life with me.
Artemis turned a year old in August. He loves to play with straws, lay in boxes and snuggle with me in bed. I wanted him to have a mythological name so he ended up with the goddess of the hunt haha.
I have had Artemis since he was around 6 months old. For toys I really can’t recommend too many because he’s a simple little guy. His favorite toys are straws and pipe cleaners. Although he has a ton of feather toys haha he also loves laying at the top of his 6 foot cat tree.
Another love of his is sitting in my lap and cuddling with me while we watch TV or I play a video game. He loves to have his back and chin scratches while he purrs. He has the sweetest purr I’ve ever heard. It sounds like birds chirping.
I used to have a water fountain that Artemis would stick his entire face in. it was a little scary at first because I didn’t want him to inhale any liquid but he was always careful not to.
I can’t say that I regret buying my baby boy from Cindy, because I am forever thankful that he will be safe and loved. and I love him more than I could ever Express. he is like my furry little kid. originally I wanted to show him but I changed my mind and decided to just let him be my baby cat.
P.S. Artie loves to watch floppycats when he is laying in bed with mommy haha

What a beauty! I have an Artemis too! He looks like Trigg!
Artemis obviously adores you and you obviously adore him, so I’m very glad to hear his story has a happy ending. He is one lucky boy to have you as his mama and his face absolutely glows with joy and contentment!!! He has certainly found his fur-ever place in the world…
I’m so glad you two found each other and so glad you shared your story…I love a happy ending!!!
Lots of Love to you both

Re TOYS: Fluffy LOVES his felt balls lately, they are his new favourite thing this christmas!!! I bought the 4cm size in the Baby Blue colour # 35 from: https://feltballrug.com.au/collections/felt-balls-bulk-buy?page=2
This is their mission statement: Felt Ball Rug Australia’s mission to be a great company where we embrace underprivileged women and provide them training to be an important part of the community. It’s not OK to be abused and taken advantage of just because you are a woman and are from poor family. At the same time, we want to provide a great service to our customers who value our vision.
I like buying fair-trade toys for my kitty and quite frankly they look AMAZING in my house!!! I hate primary coloured plastic toys and the felt balls are so adorable. Most importantly Fluffy loves them and they have no small parts that could be dangerous. I’m going to collect the baby pink and winter white colours next…
Thank you soooo very much for sharing your super pawesome love story with Artemis with us! HE IS GORGEOUSLY HANDSOME & SOOO VERY CHARMING! LURVE the pics and your story so much! I’m soooo very sorry about your experience with the breeder but glad everything turned out just fine in the end. So sad the breeder passed away and that the kitties weren’t that well cared for, etc.. 🙁
Artemis sounds and looks amazingly healthy and vibrant! He is obviously thriving under your loving care! Looks like your boy found his meant-to-be furever home! YAY!! And, it looks like you found your soul-mate kitteh! Double YAY!! Lurve that he lurves his straws and pipe cleaners best. Our Miss PSB adores her pipe cleaner toys that I make for her…a few twists here and there to shape them and then toss and she retrieves and bunny kicks them until she is all tuckered out…lol 🙂 <3
Wishing you and your lovely boy many more years of good health, love, joy and purry adventures together!! 🙂 <3
Big hugs & lots of love & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Patti & Miss Pink Sugarbelle 🙂 <3
