Ragdoll Cat - An Informational Video

[freddyphredphred]

Hi I was looking to get a ragdoll. I actually love cats and dogs but cannot get a dog because I'm out of town and work sometimes 12 hours in a day. Do you recommend a ragdoll? Are they OK being left 12 hours at a time? Can they be left alone for a couple days or a weekend (with the TV on and plenty of toys and an automatic feeder?)

Another note, there was a comment in the video about their grooming, please also be aware that if they aren't brought up trained to a bath/brushing, etc.. you will find they shed excessively!!

We have a ragdoll/Maine Coon mix. He is the most LOVEABLE, goofball of a cat I have ever known. He's got the rag body and head, with the coon M, ears, and eyes, and is just MASSIVE. He NEVER uses his claws....even in a bid to save himself from falling. He's a gorgeous ginger tabby coat, named Mortimer.

Regardarding Rags being non-agressive, just note to self, don't buy two males. In my experience, my Alpha male kicks butt on my poor Colored rag (who, although he doesn't have the necessary blue eyes, typifies the gentleness, puppyish ways, much more than my purebred)...

When you say "Beautiful INSIDE" you dont actually mean you saw what's inside did you?

Beautiful video! :)

My cat is a Ragdoll and she is adorable :) Well he

[3333sweetie]

@Laurkotsu17 are there ANY rescue places where u can get ragdoll cats?

[SpockLover27]

@3333sweetie Not likely, you would most likely have to get one from a breeder...

[AbsoluteCatLover]

I've owned many cats, but my most recent one; Puma is a ragdoll and she is just ADORABLE!!!! 5stars!!!!!

I love Ragdolls, there were some beautiful cats photos in your presentation, some of them look like they had Dandenong bloodlines. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Ragdoll from Rosemary Howarth of Dandenong cattery before she retired from breeding. She is a lovely woman with a passion for fine quality Ragdolls. Nice post!

Good information, thanks for the video!

i HAVE HAD ONE FOR 14 YEARS. THE MOST AMAZING CAT EVER. SHE IS ALWAYS IN THE CENTER OF ATTENTION IN THE HOUSE AND SHE LOVES THAT. SHE IS LIKE A DOG. FOLLOWS ME AROUND THE HOUSE AND ALWAYS WANTS TO TAKE PART IN FAMILY ACTIVITIES.

love it

[angelswings19]

Large and loving cats: makes me think of teddybears xD

[Honeywest33]

Please find your Radoll a good home. You really don't deserve to have this cat considering the way you feel. Maybe you two just got off on the wrong foot and this cat will do better in a different home and you will be happier without him/her.

[surffiend757]

i have two. i have a mitted one and one that has light grey on its face with a white triangle on its face

[uncleall]

amo i ragdolls

Also, not all Ragdolls are pointed. There are four patterns allowed: pointed, non-pointed (very rare, though), mitted and bi-colour. The "van" you speak of is actually a white spotting gene that determines the amount of white that crops up within a coat pattern. Generally bi-colours with the van gene display white on the back as well as the belly, legs and chest.

To my knowledge TICA and CFA at this time only registers pointed Ragdolls, which includes the mitted and bi-color; they just have white over the points on their feet and noses respectively. Some are breeding solid colored Ragdolls but the originals were pointed and I don't believe the solids can be registered at this time.

[cxr7021]

@theconnected1 My understanding is that the colored (or self-colored) rags who don't have blue eyes, also can't be registered.

[Siranne]

The mother of the Ragdoll breed was an Angora-type cat, not a Persian - I've seen a photo of her and she definitely wasn't Persian. That's not to say she didn't have any Persian ancestry, though. There's definitely some Birman in the Ragdolls too...

Anyway, the Ragdoll is one of my favourite cats. My Ragdoll kitten Sebastian (seal bi-colour) is a beautiful boy and makes my life better.

i think my cat may be part ragdoll

[WindwoodRagdolls]

I loved it! Thanks

[broadsurf]

My pleasure. I'm glad you liked it.

[kitten0cat]

i have a ragdoll mix and she looks and has the temperment of a ragdoll

[jokerx12x]

I've got a ragdoll, her name is Milady...I love this breed...they are so sweet!!!!

[inuyoukai8]

i recently got a rescue rag doll, he was born with a cleft palate and because of his looks his owners were terrible. They even pinched his tail off with a vise! Despite all this his sweet nature remains untainted. Niwa is a wonderful and loving cat and i am very happy to have him.

[luangu]

1:03 is our variety. Xeke "the squeek" as his meowing sounds like a high pitched whiny squeak. We found him abandoned, declawed (!) tho he'd never know it when he goes at it w/his imaginary claws on the furniture. Anyone else have a "squeaky" ragdoll?

[KitanavsMileena]

Aww, I used to have one of those.

[Treni217]

I have a ragdoll kitty too! He looks just like the cat at 1:04.

[Linamanja]

I love Ragdoll! They are sooo gorgeous! =)

[broadsurf]

The more I read about them to more I like them.

[QueenZombie]

they were bred from persians and two other breeds... the comment you make about them not being purebred is misleading. They are without known defects due to inbreeding, however (due to the 3 breed mix).

They are the bestest kitties in the world <3
