My name is Carol Griffiths and I live in the lovely Teifi Valley, West Wales, which is where the name for my prefix came from, with my husband David, two dogs and of course my cats

We moved to Wales in 2002 from Lancashire.  David was born in Wales but moved to Lancashire with his family when he was a young boy

We live in a traditional Welsh cottage that has been extended with about two acres of garden.  We grow a lot of our own fruit and vegetables and I make my own chutney, jam, pickles and do a lot of baking, so along with my cats this helps to keep me very busy

It has always been my desire to breed these beautiful cats and I have finally fulfilled my ambition.  This would not have been possible without the love and support of David and lots of help from two ladies who had trust and faith in me to allow me to take home two of their kittens which got me on the road.  A big thankyou goes to Susan for Kaz and Nikky for Lilly

My Ragdoll girls are pets who live in the house with us but they have an outside run, with lots of toys, shelves and scratch posts, so that they can get some fresh air and see a little of the outside world.  This also allows me to have doors and windows open in the house at summer time with the peace of mind that they are safe.  They love to sit on the shelves and watch the birds on the bird table.  My cats are used to lots of visitors, dogs and every day household noises such as the hoover, washing machine, telephone ringing, radio, television and the not so everyday lawn mower, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, strimmer and the occasional fighter jet or helicopter flying over.  My Ragdolls are registered with G.C.C.F. and I am a member of the T.B.R.C.C., PRBCC and UKRCC Ragdoll cat clubs

THIS IS LUKE

Luke was born in July 1997.  As you can see he is a liver and white Springer Spaniel.  Luke is a very placid, laid back, loving spaniel when he is about the house, not a total lunatic like most springers.  I think the only time he goes mad is when he is working.  He will be retiring soon as he is getting a little old to be working, although he does not think so.  When it comes to feeding time Luke sits patiently while the cats dig into his bowl first, he only eats when they have decided they have had enough or do not like what is on offer

 

THIS IS JAKE

Jake was born in June 2003.  He is Luke's son.  He is bigger than his dad but very loving and so soft and gentle with the cats and kittens.  Jake loves the cats, he is always giving them a wash from which they end up wet through.  He loves swimming and diving in the river off the rocks in the village

THIS IS ALLIE

Allie was born in November 1998.  She is half Maine Coon and is a big heavy cat with the longest whiskers I have ever seen.  She loves to lie in the sun on a chair in the conservatory.  Allie is a real mother hen, anyone make a noise and she is there to see what is the matter

THIS IS BENJAMIN

Benjamin was born in July 2001.  Benjamin is half Bengal, he is a big, muscular cat.  He likes to think he is the man of the house but he is a real big softy
