Superb I will set to record. I love Robert Cray.

I'd stay well clear unless this is from a reputable breeder. £450 is on the cheap side for a ragdoll tbh.

Do ask for a five generation pedigree and the pink slip - if you don't get that, walk away. And if the kitten is less than 13 weeks old, also walk away.

This may be above board, but my alarm bells are ringing if they're bringing the kitten round to yours. Ideally, you should be going to the breeder's place and seeing mum - and dad if this person has their own stud cat, as well as the environment the kitten has come from. My breeder friends give prospective owners a thorough vetting before allowing their kittens to leave.

If your missus is set on a raggie, I can put you in touch with a very good ragdoll breeder based in Manchester xxx if she doesn't have kittens, she'll know someone who will xxx

Cheers for that. They are only bringing it round on the way back from collecting the cat as my wife has asked them. We'd normally go to see them. We aren't sure if it's a full pedigree (hence price), but we can also contact the other sibling's owners. I've never paid any money for our cats, as they were always unexpected arrivals from rescue or friends, so had Heinz 57's 2 x tabbies and one tortie.

It's the missus choice !

@potsy - look away now please. This is a question for crocheteers please.

When you start the four chains at the start, I presume you join the fourth to the first, and then do three more chains, before starting the trebles. I have always had great difficulty following crochet patterns, but I think I can work this one out. I sometimes feel like a change from knitting. I have done "granny squares", and this looks similar in some ways.

I have tried to download the pattern from http://lemondedesucrette.com/ without success. Presumably the download clarifies the start.

I think the 1st 4 are joined as you say Wol, then ch 3 as the first of four tr.

A ragdoll should be either pointed (same as a siamese), mitted (with white feet) or bicolour (with white feet and a white blaze on the face). If it's not colourpointed, it's probably a cross from an oops litter. Or not a raggie at all. You'd be amazed at the number of common garden mogs masquerading as pedigrees LOL

P.S. My friend is on the breeders' list.

Thank you. I think the last entry on that blog was at the end of last year, which may explain why I cannot download it. From the photo, Sucrette is a man. The link to that site was from Attic 24.

I would love to have a Maine Coon cat but I don't want to remortgage the house.

Oi! Alien languages are not allowed on CC. I was only just getting over the fact that a ragdoll was a cat and now it's broken out into a combination of strange symbols, numbers and words which usually make sense to me!

The cat doesn't look all that bothered either!

That's a good looking cat, indeed.
