Thank you for your response to my concern about my 12 year old girl Freckles :) she actually wasn't eating because we switched her food and she didn't like it. We have her back on her wet food and she loves it and is doing much better!! :)

I'm so happy that you resolved it :)

u have 2 ragdolls the orange one :) but e has no blue eyes but greeny and the bicololor sister that we adopted"same mother/father both blue eyes" has blue eyes is that normal

I'm not sure I understand, but if you have a cat that has green eyes it is not a pure bred ragdoll :)

Do you fees your cats any human food, like chicken. If so, how much?

Yes I give many kind of "human food" like chicken, beef, pork etc. Raw of course. Hard to say how much, I give every day and do my own catfood mixes, sometimes it is about 20% chicken and sometimes maybe 60%

That camera is a little bit expensive for me... Do you know any other little bit cheaper DSLR? Is the Nikon D3300

I'm so sorry, I have only knowledge of the ones I have :) But there are sites to compare products, that might be a good way to learn :)

Are they any other breeds you have considered breeding

No not really, but I'm curious of british shorthair :)

why do you HAVE to use 1 transport bag? euuuhhmm i mean 2

Because it is not nice for them to have to share one bag the whole ride

and do cats understand each other always or not

Probably not always, but they do have a complexed communicating system

and did berry plays with muffin?! ;)

They do play sometimes but Muffin get a bit too excited so Berry gets a bit scared of him. He is so big :D

mackerel), solid, tipped, shaded, smoked, ticked. But when I comes to colorpoint, I am so lost. Like Berry, a blue lynx tortie mitted. I think I know what the tortie and mitted parts mean, but I have no idea what the blue and lynx parts referring to. I would love it if I could read more on this.) :)

There is a lot to read on this if you just google it :) And then you can find where to start read about it depending on your knowledge so far. I learned by courses and that way I can understand it much more than from just photos.
But basically:
Lynx is the same as tabby
Red is the bright orange color
Cream is the paler version of red
Black is seal (brown color) on a pointed cat
On a non pointed cat, if the cat is tabby of some sort and black, it is called brown.
Blue is a paler version of black, it is the typical grey color. That means that the cats color is diluted.
My NFO Thea is silver (not pointed of anything) and if she whouldn't have her mackrel tabby pattern, her silver would be called smoke instead. Silver/smoke is when a cat is silvery white on the fur right next to the skin.
Tortie IS calico, same thing many names :)

Hi. I want to learn about all of the fur patterns on a cat so that whenever I see a cat, I could call out its exact pattern. Is there any article you could suggest that lists all of the fur patterns? (So far I can only discern a few: calico, tortie, tabby (classic/blotched, spotted, ticked,

I will answer your last question :)

What camera do you prefer for first time DSLR user? I want one to take amazing Cat Photography :)

I would suggest the one I have now that is a happy middle between professional and beginner. Nikon D7000 :) Easy to use and has it all

can you explain it again with the genes and how do you know what colour the kittens will have?

It is quite hard to explain in simple text, but if you saw my post on instagram with the tables I wrote down? You need to know what the parent cats are e.g seal carrying blue, then you write B d (b is for the seal and d is for blue/dilution) but you don't really need to know the right letters, sometimes I write down S (seal) b (blue)
And then you put the other parents colors downwards so the table will look like this with two of the same parents:
S b
S
b
And when you cross these over you will have SS, Sb, Sb, bb. Do you understand so far?
That means that two seal parents that carry blue can have 25% pure seal, 50% seal carrying blue and 25% blue
I hope this made sence to you, when you know how to write the tables it is actually quite easy :)

thank you for the quick answer (about the colors) :D Is there any possibility to have also blue kittens, in a future litter, if the mother doesn't carry blue, but the father yes?

There can only be seal and chocolate if the parents are seal carrying chocolate and only one parent carry blue.
This is why I got a seal girl that carry blue, because otherwise all Muffin and Zinna's kittens would be seal :)

I asked you about the color a few hours ago, yes, the male carries chocolate and blue, but the mother carries only seal point color. How is possible that they got a chocolate? miracle? ;)

Then you now know that the mother actually carry chocolate too :)
