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

12th Feb Blog Post 184 Present Shopping

Bought Jack and Tom’s big present for their birthday (in April) yesterday. There was this new Catit Vesper Castle toy. It is basically a castle shaped tent with two levels and then a drawbridge leading to a tunnel connected to it. Me and boyfriend ummed and aahed about it as we were not sure the boys would fit in the holes but we decided we would give it a try. I think they should just about fit! Leo and Charlie will anyway- although the present is supposed to be for Jack and Tom but they will all enjoy it I am sure. Not sure where I am going to put it though! I have also bought them a catnip fish toy as well. Boyfriend is keeping them at his house for now so the boys don’t find them! It is the vet on Thursday, taking Tom and Jack for their vaccinations. That is going to be interesting. At least I have boyfriend to help me get them in their carrier. I suspect it will be a struggle!

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.
