Our second Ragdoll, Jamie. He fitted the typical ragdoll stereotype perfectly. Our big brown teddy bear, who loved nothing more than a snuggle, which is why he got the nickname Jamie Bear. He used to be dressed up by our daughter in all sorts, and of course he was more than happy to oblige. He was carried more than he walked. Such a loving placid cat. Jamies lines are carried on through his son Mitts into younger generations of Hartlepaws cats.

This stunning girl was Mollie. Despite having an uneven mask, Mollie gave us some of the most perfect bi-colours. She was a real character and was given the nickname ‘Dumpy Dooos’. She always used to give you a kiss if you asked her. Her and Mitts had a very special bond, and you wouldn’t find one without the other. Mollie is Sweeties Mam and she followed her around everywhere, constantly giving her love and affection.
