 After the wretched year we had losing all our pets last year, with both our much beloved British Shorthaired cats (G'Kar & Chakotay) having to be put down, we have started the new year with our new family of pets. 
 
Kittens truly are love - look, they are telling you it.  In all honesty, this photo was not staged.  They were sleeping like this and we thought - "look, a love heart" and had to get a shot (the bald patch is from de-sexing operation).

  This is Selkie.

This is Morpheus.

They are pure bred Ragdoll cats and really have the sweetest disposition.  They really do just flop when you pick them up and will just lay placidly in your hands.  They are also extremely energetic and capable of some very large jumps.  Considering they are supposedly the largest breed of domestic cats, we are expecting Morpheus, the male, to be BIG.  They are really good company at night, as as soon as I sit down at the computer, up they jump and settle down to sleep on the desk in front of me, unless they are in the mood for fun, in which case, I get attacked through the keyboard shelf and my mouse keeps disappearing.  I really love these cats.  
 
Here is a little video of them.  Notice that I am too lazy to get of the couch and play with them properly  ^-^

Yep.  Our first long haired cats.  It was bad enough with the short haired ones, but we have entered a whole new area now.  A friend has a full grown one and that is a lot of fur.  This was our kids choice - so it is their job to keep them bushed.

The kids got to pick the names as well.  Our last cats both had sci-fi names (Babylon 5 and Star Trek Voyager origins) and it said a lot about us.  This time it says everything about the kids.  Selkie is from Final Fantasy and Morpheus is not The Matrix, rather, the Greek God of sleep and dreams (my youngest is very big on mythology and all stuff fantasy, especially the dark stuff).

We always get pets as a pair.  They grow up together and really bond.  Plus, they are never lonely as they have each other for company.  I think that applies to all animals.

I agree, we have two cats and it is funny how when the boy cat goes to the vet our female walks around looking for him and you know that is what she is doing.  2 animals is best for them.

Ha. Bushy cats. Yeah I hear ya there since a friend of mine has a cat that has more hair then the entire family put together. It just gets everywhere. Great fun though when you hold them up to the CRT televisions though. Speaking of which I assume no one has a cat allergy in your family?

Aaaaarrggh - typo.  Typos are funny when they are still a real word  ^-^ 
 
No allergies, lucky for us.  I must do the balloon static electricity trick on them, that could be funny.  Though, thinking about it, we have one of those electricity ball/light things (no idea what they are called, but you put your finger on the glass ball) - that could be good for a laugh when they get close  :/

When you get a pure breed, you know what you are getting.  It is a shame that animal shelters exist at all, but my taking 2 cats over the next 15 years is not going to make a dent in the problem.  We have had 8 cats in our lives and the first 4 were "moggies" that were saved, but now I want a cat that has a certain look and disposition.  If all animals were desexed and only pure breeds were available for breeding, then we wouldn't have this problem.  All my cats have been desexed and not allowed to roam, to attack wildlife.  I feel no shame.

what cute cats :)   i have two cats myself. skattle (oldest) and skittle ( youngest, about 1 and a half years). the first skittle was actually going to be  Siamese but my mom's boss decided to keep the cat. he was the one who got the cat.  we got another one. 
 
i actually think that skittle is my old cat in a way, like the old cat soul is in skittle. skeeter died by something.  skittle does things that skeeter does. he will start to bite me when i pet him, he likes to attack skattle, he hates my friend, he gets in trouble like skeeter.

These are my guys...the white ones are Ragdolls. The male is about 15 lbs, female 11. I just spent a good hour earlier shaving their tummies! They are often refered to as fuzzy white bath mats...super lazy, and they just crash out wherever and lay on their backs. It's too much as kittens, but as they get bigger, a rake for grooming is a must. Nice big metal teeth so it kind of yanks their undercoat out. Otherwise, my two are super sweet, and can be heard purring from across the room! Congrats on your new kitties! :)

Dang, that is some big cats you have there.  Must cost a fortune to feed.  Do they sleep on the bed with you, cause you would have to have a King Size bed  :-)

I don't know how old your youngest is, but she (is that right?) sounds like someone who'd find Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic series pretty interesting. 
I am sure the new editions to your family will bring you many years of happiness.  Hurray for kitties!

Cool man, they look adorable,  
Really like the names, Not that I knew you were good at picking names for things, knowing your Sci-Fi disposition,  
Selkie, is a very good name, you obviously know the mythology behind it,  
 
Morpheus is a really cool name for an animal, You have given me an Idea for my Future Dog, (Once I get my own place, again...) 
 
We should talk again sometime dude, it's been awhile,  
 
Oh well, Hope everything is going allright, 
 
My love to Debb and the kids eh,

The roommate and I had a cat at our last apartment. I would wake up and would start making coffee and it was ready to play. It would pounce on my foot like it was target practice or something, lol.

Awesome video (though slightly cruel)! Now you can teach them to attack various people.
