    5 Stars You Aint nothing but a Ragdoll Review with images 18/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Companionship and a friend

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Does not like confrontation

    This review is about a breed of cat I first came across just under 3 years ago and I fell in love with the breed ever since. This is about the ragdoll pedigree cat. History -------- This is hard to explain but I have heard one story from the lady who bred my Ragdoll cat and another from a book on the breed. The story which to me sounds most truthful is about a lady named Anne Baker and she had a cat named Josephine in the 1960's. Her cat was treated at the local University and one day when her cat Josephine was involved in this car incident she seemed to have no pain in her body at all. She ... more

    Advantages Advantages loving, playfull, adapts well to families

    Background ----------------- Ragdoll cats are a comparitarily new breed, owing their existence to Annie Baker from California. They are fast becoming a favourite in this country. Most Ragdolls are "pointed" their colour predominately white/cream, rated similar to a Siamese cat, with distinctive "seal-point" markings, but with long , soft fur and dazzling blue eyes. My own cat, Kira, is a blue "seal-point", smokey blue face, tale with a creamy coat. **************************** I was fortunate to aquire her from a couple living in a high-rise flat, she was far too adventureous to live in this ... more

    5 Stars My experince through Raggie my Ragdoll Review with images 12/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages extremely friendly, great temperment, very loving

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none!

    Before I have only had non pedigree cats and although they are great pets, I thought I may be able to garantee the temperment with a pedigree cat slightly more than with a moggy (although you'll always get exceptions to the rules!) I spent 3 years researching breeds but fairly early on I came accross the Ragdoll and immediately fell in love! They have a large number of features that make you fall totally in love with them. A huge plus of the ragdoll is its extremely placid temperment, they are very laid back and relaxed and they seem to just love to lie back and watch the world go by! They are ... more

    5 Stars updated PIRATE 19/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages He's fun to have around.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages He has long hair.

    My tom cat Pirate is a Ragdoll cat. His hair is almost as furry as an Angora cat. Ragdoll's are a new breed of cat. The lady I bought mine from said that they cross-breed a Persian with an Angora. I paid £50 for him. The reason this breed is called a Ragdoll is because they are very calm a relaxed that they look like a ragdoll. I bought him when he was six weeks old and he was all white. I took him to the veterinarian so he could be neutered and have any vaccination that he needed. I bought his collar before we left. A month latter the hair on his body is almost all white but his ears, face ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cuddly, cute, loving.calm

    Disadvantages Disadvantages pet insurance higher for pedigree

    I have a blue point male ragdoll. i got him from a local breeder in cornwall with pedigree papers etc for £50 a bargain. I have had him neutared and all vacinations are up to date. He is a very large cat weighing in at over a stone he is just over a year old. the vet has checked him over and deems him not overweight hes just a big puss, but so gentle and devoted. He loves playing fetch with ball of paper and miaows if you don't throw them for him. He has two other moggies to play with but prefers to curl up on human laps or drape himself on your shoulders, as being a ragdoll he goes floppy and ... more

    5 Stars Ragdoll as pet 11/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages does not jump all over the place, very gentle

    Disadvantages Disadvantages does not like being left alone. If you are home,they follow you like pups

    Easy to care for semi-long hair cat. If you get a ragdoll with the proper coat texture you only need to comb once or twice a week. Outcrosses with persian (for new colours) may not be easy to keep so you have to comb/brush very well at least once a day. You do get cat hair on things, but is easier to clean than the moggies short hair. If you want a big cat, get a male and neuter him before 8 months. In general, females are only slightly bigger than a domestic, but there are big ones. Ragdolls are playful but not aggressive,though every cat has its own personality so look for well socialized ... more

    5 Stars My Ragdoll 11/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages playful, good companion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages difficult to find a breeder in the south

    After having my first Ragdoll (now 3 years old) I would never go back to another breed. I come across many Ragdolls in my job as a veterinary nurse and am yet to meet an owner who didn't instantly fall in love with their Ragdoll and none have had any complaints whatsoever. She follows us around the house and greets us at the window when we get in. She also loves to spend time with the dog (English Springer Spaniel) especially cuddling up to him in his basket. She also enjoys roaming around the reception at work and making friends with any inpatients. She's particularly good if I'm ill or upset ... more

    5 Stars The Ragdoll cat 30/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful, blue eyed, smart, fun, ragdoll-like, large, fluffy and loyal

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Require regular grooming

    Ragdoll cats originated from America. They are fast becoming a popular breed of cat throught many countries. You can't go wrong with becoming the proud owner of a Ragdoll as they are incredibly smart and infact trainable. They have striking blue eyes surrounded by a mask. I have got two Ragdolls myself and they follow me around like a dog would do. They have to be in on everything and know what you are doing all the time, this does however become a problem when your trying to walk down the stairs and they are circling like pretty little sharks at your feet :) I am due to get my third Ragdoll ... more
