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

1st March 2024 Blog Post 189 Leo and Jack

Leo has just been ripping up my kitchen towels again! He did it yesterday as well! I have given up telling him off! He just ignores me. Naughty little devil.

It was funny the other day. I was having an after lunch nap on the sofa. Jack was already there at the end of the sofa. I got myself comfy under the blanket and carefully put my feet next to Jack so I wasn’t squashing him. Then Tom jumped up and sat on my tummy kneading me. Then Leo jumps up (Charlie was on the cat tree) as Leo loves a cuddle. Eventually they settled into their places. Leo was laid across my legs in front of Jack, infringing on Jack’s personal space. He does not like that! He then started kicking Leo’s back with his back legs. I was giggling watching him, it was so funny! Jack had a face like thunder and just kept kicking and kicking trying to get Leo to move and Leo had his eyes half closed and was just ignoring him completely. Eventually Leo did move forward a little bit and Jack stopped his kicking. It is difficult to have a nice relaxing nap with the antics of my boys!

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.
