About four years ago a neighbor brought me a little
calico stray she found in her yard.  The kitten was
clean and friendly and appeared healthy.  I was reluctant
to take her to the pound so I set up quarters for her
in the shed.  I put up signs but with no result, and after
a vet checkup, including vaccinations, brought her inside
the house to join the rest of the tribe (2 Tonkinese kittens
and 1 elderly Burmese).  The vet guessed she was a year
old based on her teeth.  I looked at her paws (huge...)
and wondered.  :)

6 months later she was twice as large as when I
adopted her, muscular but not fat, a lap cat who loves
to be in whatever room I'm in.  I always assumed she
was a mixed breed but then bought a recent issue of
Cat Fancy Magazine featuring RagaMuffins.

THAT'S MY MINYA!  I screamed, frightening all
the cats, including the former "stray".  Everything fits:
the slow growth to maturity, the physical
characteristics, the behavioral characteristics.
(Except she doesn't get along all that well with the
other cats.  LOL)

If anyone has the issue, check out the centerfold
photo with the yellow background - that could be
a photo of my cat, exactly the same coloring and
form.

So what are the chances I have a purebred
RagaMuffin that was wandering around loose in
a rural area in Southcentral Texas?  :)
