A big meow to y’all! My name is snowy and I’m a 3-month-old purebred Ragdoll kitten. I was born early this year and soon found myself in the loving care of my new Mommy Veron and her family. Right now I’m just the weight of three small apples, but one day I will grow up to be a big strong boy!

*turns on camera*

Hellooo? Can you see me?

Birth Certificate
Name: Snowy (or Snowball)
Breed: Ragdoll
Gender: Male
Date of birth: January 28, 2009

Temperament: Very playful and affectionate

April 13, 2009 would forever be a memorable day for me. That’s the day Mommy brought me home from the pet shop that I once called home!

You may notice that I have blue eyes and a pink nose. Mommy says that my blue eyes are mesmorising, especially with the “eyeliner”. I try to tell her that I’m *really* not wearing any eyeliner. After all, I am a boy!

Although I appear to be white now, I may not be a white kitty forever. When I grow older, the fur ’round my eyes may grow darker. According to Mommy, it should look like batman’s mask! I heard he’s some kind of superhero, so that’s gotta be cool!

Snowy the Ragdoll kitten lying limp on lap

Each time Mommy carries me like a baby, I would rest limply in her safe arms. We Ragdolls are pretty floppy by nature, ya know. Whenever we feel the love of being hugged and carried by a warm human, we relax our muscles, like totally, and purr. That’s why we’re called Ragdolls!

I was a little shy in my new home initially and kept burying my face in pillows. But soon I was running around like the happy kitten that I am and playing with my brand new scratching post!

Snowy the Ragdoll kitten under the table

My favorite hiding places are under tables and in narrow crawl spaces. Most of the time I am quiet as a mouse. Mommy’s family let me wear a baby blue collar with a jingling bell so that they can hear me whenever I’m catwalking about. They painstakingly picked a color that matches my blue eyes! What do you think of it?

My most favorite item in the house is this: my kitty bowl! I eat yummy food from it. It even has a separate compartment for fresh water! Meow! I must eat more so that I can quickly grow bigger!

That’s Tatty Teddy. He doesn’t do much ‘cept sit around all day. Sometimes I play with him, sometimes I don’t. Mostly he just ignores me. I do hope one day we can be friends!

I love playing with balls. Balls are so cool! My favorite is the one with a bell. It’s a gift from one of my human visitors!

Ever since I moved into my new home, a steady stream of humans have come to visit me. They would coo about my long white fur, or ooh and ahh over my blue eyes. I wonder what all the fuss is about. All my brothas and sistas look just the same! It’s fine with me tho. I love being around humans!

Gimme a hug please, good people?

*gnaws paw*

When everyone’s out working (so that they can buy me more food and toys), I would be home sleeping. But as long as someone’s around, I would always sit or play by his or her side.

Sleeping is a fun activity that can be enjoyed in various positions… Face-up, face-down, paw in mouth… My favorite is lying sideways facing the wall. Zzz…

Nap time is always at my favorite corner in Mommy’s room, where it gets so comfortable I doze off in an instant. When Mommy wakes up in the morning, I would follow her from room to room ’til she leaves for work. Then I would go back to sleep and wait for breakfast.

Psst… I’ll let ya in on a little secret. When I’m sleeping, I love it when Mommy strokes and pets me. It makes me feel like the happiest and most loved kitten in the world!

Mommy says that I’m very playful and always outrunning her. When I tire from all the playing and running, I’ll lie under the table for a break. The weather recently has been hot, hot, hot! It’s much cooler on the floor for someone with this thick coat of fur!

Oh yeah, Mommy says that even though I’m cute, I should do more than just eat and play and sleep (and poop) all day. Otherwise I’m just another lazy kitty. So occasionally I would blog over here too, starting with this first post!

Boy, I sure hope I’m off to a good start!

I asked Mommy for an email account too. She has set it up for me. If you wanna talk more, drop me a note at snowy@sparklette.net. Meow soon!

signing off with lotsa paw hugs and kitten kisses,

Meow meow meow meow meow!

Just watched the Japanese movie “gu gu the cat” – its not really about the cat, more about exploring life and death of the main female character.

Is Snowy gonna get a female mate, or will he be de-sexed?

  I was thinking about catching that show. Cat-oriented movies are *really* rare. But after hearing your feedback I’ll give this one a miss after all!
  
  You know what, I’m wondering whether to get him a Ragdoll girlfriend. Looking at his current age I think I have another 3 or 4 months before having to decide if I want him de-sexed.

  Hi Lana, thank you so much for your wonderful comments! You made my day :)
  
  I’ve always wondered if people living outside of Singapore are interested in reading about the food here. Turns out that you are! Looks like the topic of food transcends many boundaries!
  
  Moo Moo kitty passed away shortly after we got him. I was devastated and I still find it hard talking about it. We’re really happy and blessed that we have Snowy as a companion now :)

Wow, that’s cute. I love the *gnaws paw* picture. Better clean his eyes regularly, white cats tend to get tear stains.

  That’s my favorite photo of him! He’s one photogenic kitty, albeit an active one. Most of his pictures turn out blurry because he moves too much! I love the boy :)
  
  Yes, there definitely will be more of Snowy’s updates.
