My Ragdoll Cat Adventures Part Two → Welcome To Ragdoll Cats For Life

29th July Blog Post 31 Leo

Their personalities and behaviours are so funny. Leo has his cute quirks. He is very playful and loves jumping and running around. His favourite toys are the feather danglers and anything he can chase and attack. I tried out the long wand feather dangler I bought from ‘Purrs in our Hearts’ and he loved it. I felt bad though as Jack wanted to play as well but Leo wouldn’t give him a chance! Also, I don’t know whether it was the heat (my house is hot at the moment because of the heat wave) but Leo pants like a dog when he gets excited. He makes that funny clicking sound as well which I mentioned before and now Charlie is starting to copy him. Later on, when they were snuggled up Leo was nuzzling up to Tom and then proceeded to try and suck on his nipples like he was his mum! It was a bit strange but I guess it is leftover behaviour from kitten-hood. Poor Tom though, I don’t think he knows what to make of it!

What Is A Ragdoll Cat?

The Ragdoll cat as legend has it, was descended from Josephine a feral cat living in California in the 1960s. She was struck by a car and after she recovered, her kittens produced all the winning traits that would become the hallmark of the Ragdoll cat including large heavy build, soft downy fur, docility and laid-back personality. The original bloodlines of Ragdolls can be traced back to Ann Baker’s Ragdoll cats. It was she who developed the breed from the original Josphine. Ragdolls are beautiful, friendly, loving cats know as gentle giants of the cat world.
