Mendy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mendy
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female
Breed: RagaMuffin
Home: California, USA
 
   Hello. My name is Mendy. I am a three year old RagaMuffin breed kitty from California. My mommy needed a kitty to cuddle and always keep her company because of the time she had to stay in bed with her illness. It is a very long story how we got together that began by accident when my daddy had the day off from work. One inquiry led to another and before I knew it, there she was holding me in her arms. I was in a very dirty place with a lot of other sick kitties. The lady who had me wanted my mommy to take any other kitten but me, but my mommy said it was me or no one. She knew we were destined to have a future together. So did I. I was very sick and mom had to work for months and months through many tears, and with a lot of prayer (not to mention thousands of dollars) to get me well.

    Finally, I became the healthy, beautiful little girl I was meant to be. All the months of worrying if I would live or die brought about many changes in my mom's life and was even the catalyst for writing a monthly newsletter to encourage others who were going through tough times. My mom says that because of me, many people have been blessed and continue to be blessed. She says I am the most special kitty God ever gave her. Even now she can't say that without tears of love, love she will always have for me. Now full grown I have a deeply caring heart and try to take care of everyone. Once when mom fell, I even tried to pull her up. I grew up to be a happy girl, filled innocence and love for everyone. Mom says everyone should have a Mendy in their life.

    The difference between the RagaMuffin and the Ragdoll is that although we both came from the original cat, Josephine, we have been breeding in separate genetic circles for over 20 years and have developed a different look and Cat Standard The RagaMuffin has 66 varieties of colors and patterns whereas the Ragdoll began their history as a breed with four colors and three patterns, all of them being pointed. The personalities are the same.
