This is Tich, Our Ragdoll.
He is a big cat and very loving but he didn`t always look like this.
Delilah had 7 lovely kittens.
All went well for the first week. I soon noticed the
two kittens where looking weak and their coats
where dull looking. We rushed them to the vets
and he found Delilah had an Absess in her mouth
and the poison has gone down in the milk and then
the milk dried up.
Four Kittens died over the next few days and although
i was hand rearing just three kitten, It was very hard.
Delilah went into the vets to have her operation.

When Delilah came home she was groggy for a day
or two and had no milk to feed them but she helped
me clean them and kept them warm, She was so good.
We had two Red points and one Blue point.
We kept hand feeding untill they where over 12 weeks
and they where so small, The vet didnt like their chances.
At one stage they looked so small and Tich had lost some
of his fur we feared the worsed. My Mum kept feeding
every few hours, Even through the night and it paid off.
The Blue point had his last Vaccination and he was
homed to a lovely family, The Red was a nice size
and we kept him on an extra few weeks to make
sure until he had the all clear.
He was over 23 weeks before he could go to a
new home.
Finally Little Tich was soon named and we did
have every intention in rehoming him, But he was
so small he didnt have his first Vaccination until he
was 18 weeks old and over 21 weeks before his second.
YOU CAN SEE HERE JUST HOW SMALL HE WAS.
His first time in the Garden.
This was Tich at 6 months old,
He had quite a few visits to the vets for different ailments and
it was then we decided it was best for him to stay with us. 

As you see, We have given him a little playmate,
Tich and Ceri are growing so much.
.
Happy Birthday Tich, Your one today. 
We thought it was about time Tich did some work for his keep.

His first job was to show the kittens how to play in the boat.
Tich loved his job, But liked the boat more and wouldnt come out of it. 
He doesnt mind sharing Scooters basket with the others,

Here he is with Scooter again, He must be one of the most laid back cats around.
Tich is growing so much now, Its hard to believe this was the tinylittle kitten
that we thought we may loose.
He is so loving and has a very strong bond with my mother,
He follows her everywhere, Just like a dog.
