The Wondering Muse: Cat Names

A couple of people have asked me about my Ragdoll Emily, what breed she is, how old she is and why I picked her name.

Well it's actually a perfect mix between two television shows that I love and have been a fan of since the very beginning.

Emily is the "daughter" of Dana Scully of the X-Files where Mulder had a cute affection for.
And it's also the name of one of the bubbliest actresses I know; Emily Procter of CSI Miami.

Calaquendi Dolls is the Cattery she came from and well the name is known by the Sci-Fi Lord of the Rings fans lol

Emily was born on the 26th of Juin 2008, exactly a month before me =), which makes her almost 1,5 years old. Ragdolls grow until they're 4 years. She's 4,5 kilos going to 4,6 which makes her a heavy typical Ragdoll female due to her father being real big ^_^

She's a blue point bi-color which means that her color is blue. Blue is lighter than Seal but darker than Lilac. The bi-color marks; inverted white V on her face, white belly, paws and legs. The points are the ears, around the V, tail and back and they are blue.

If you're interested in being a Ragdoll servant you should Google it! That's how I came to love the Ragdoll. They're easy-going, follow you everywhere, you can keep them on an apartment, they're housebroken from the start, know how to use the scratchpoles, they're not destructive by nature but very careful and sweet.

They have a soft meow and are not that talkative, their coat only needs combing about once a week and you can easily bathe them. You can learn them tricks as they are known to be the dogs under cats. Emily fetches a toy, she walks on a leash, she knows a few commands like; sit, go inside, no, food, outside say please, mailbox and knows when she does something wrong. She doesn't object against being in her carrier or sitting in a car for long periods.

Vets are not a problem either and they adapt so easily! She's been to my parents, on trains, on busses, near busy streets in my carrier bag, in shops. She's okay with it.

Though I have been showing her and she made it to Triple Grand Champion Alter, I had to quit as she didn't like it anymore. And to me it's for fun so if it's no fun for her then there's no point in putting her through something she doesn't want to do. I know she could've been a Supreme but I'm very very proud that she made it to Triple.

Her dad's Supreme Grand Champion and Best Seal Point Ragdoll of the World 2009: Ragmagic Iman Ewok of Calaquendi, a gorgeous and famous Ragdoll. I'm really really grateful I'm having one of his last daughters.

Her mom's S*Pocahontas Dayita of Calaquendi and a Seal Bi-Color Point.

One of her brothers (she was the only girl in the group) Calaquendi Dolls Aryan Beryl also made it to Triple Grand Champion and I have such a soft spot for him. He's the sweetest most laid-back cat you'll ever meet lol and he's so big!

And yes I am getting another Ragdoll. A boy this time and he should arrive next year around February/March. Though I'm still not sure about the name because you can register under a certain name but their calling name can be totally different.

I was thinking of registering him as Flufyluf Jack O'Neill. But then again I'm not sure if the cattery I'm getting him from let's me pick his name.

I have so many names to pick from. Emily was actually quite easy but for a boy, I don't know.

I like:

Lisimba: it's an Egyptian name meaning Lion
Seti: one of the most famous Pharaohs
Ramses: same here

Tiva: reference to Tony and Ziva from NCIS

That's about it at the moment xD

Check them out at: Calaquendi Dolls and Flufyluf
