Bentley (aka "Squeak") Update

"WHAT?!  You lookin' at ME?!"

So my kitty-loving followers have told me it's time for an update on my adorable Raggies.  I am pleased and honored to oblige!

First up, Bentley (aka "Squeak").  Born on 12/1/09, Bentley (a blue lynx mitted) is from Megailee Ragdolls near Raleigh, NC.  He came home at 3 months old, and he was 14 months old in these pictures and the video.

He is 100% gorgeous, and one of the two Raggie lights of our lives!  (His older brother Boo is the other one, and I'll do an update on him soon.  Getting good pictures of Boo is little trickier, though, because he HATES the camera, and runs away whenever he sees it.  And if I do a video of Boo, it will probably have to be of him sleeping!!!  Really!)

Anyway, Squeak is 11 pounds, 4 ounces, according to the vet's scale.  (But he looks much larger because of that soft, plush fur coat he wears!)  He is healthy, bright-eyed, quiet and sweet; and rarely meows.  The name of his game is PLAY*PLAY*PLAY, and he is an excellent "fetcher".  (Don't miss a short video clip of that HERE.)  Even people who are not cat-lovers (I can hardly even imagine!) comment on what a striking, stunning animal he is.

And a short video clip (less than a minute long) of my beautiful boy :

Enjoy, and thank you for looking!  

Welcome Home, Bentley!
Oct. 2010 Update
Bentley - one CRAZY Raggie!

Bentley - one CRAZY RAGGIE!

That is our one-year-old Ragdoll kitty, Bentley.  (But we usually call him "Squeak" because for the first year of his life he hardly ever meowed.  He just made this darling little *squeak!* every now and then!  NOTE:  He has since "found his meow" as we say, and can be almost as vocal as his big brother, Boo!)

And believe me, Squeak does the darndest things!   See for yourself...

This is Squeak on drugs the living room chair:

("Where's the remote???")

 

"Look, Ma, no (front) feet!"

Squeak on the floor...

This belly don't rub itself!

 

(Really???!)

Legs out front...



















Legs out back...  ;o)

On the downstairs twin bed...

Love the back feeties here!

On the king bed upstairs...

Yes, I agree... this is just WRONG!!!

The back view!!!  We call this Jabba the Fluff!






























So here's the story:   I walked into the downstairs bedroom a few days ago and did a double take.  I called my husband, "C'mere!  C'mere!  Quick!  You gotta see Squeak!  And, oh, bring the camera!"

After ALL those crazeeee poses above... what could POSSIBLY surprise me, you ask???! 

Well... let me show you...

Are you ready?

Are you sure???

OK...

BEHOLD....

Squeak???!  Is that YOU??!

YES! Do you believe THAT?!  I hugged him and kissed him and cooed, "OH, Squeak!  Look at you lying there like a... REAL CAT!!!!"  Awwww, my baby's gettin' all grown up!!!!   ;o)

Seriously... I had never seen him (before or SINCE!) position himself like that.  Legs tucked under, tail curling neatly around... so sophisticated, so TIDY, such a textbook "kitty" pose!  Good thing I caught it on camera... it may be a moment that history never repeats!!!
