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

9th March Blog Post 191 Tangles

My new knitting hobby is not going well. I got in a mess on Monday evening this week when I was trying to learn how to do a purl stitch and I just couldn’t get it right so I got mad and unravelled the wool and it ended up in a big tangle so I threw it away. The boys were watching me in fascination. Then today I spent three hours trying to unravel the knots in my new ball of wool. I suspect Leo had got into my knitting bag earlier and pulled out the wool and the needles as I found them in a heap on the kitchen floor. I was not impressed. I ended up getting really mad at him and shouting at him! He looked a bit sheepish. It did not stop him from trying to do it again later after I had managed to sort the mess and put my knitting away in the bag and later on I found his head in the bag trying to pull it out again! I have put the bag away in a cupboard now but I am sure he will find it and try again! Knitting and cats does not mix!

(will post my next entry on Tuesday as I have a busy Monday and apologies this entry is a day late!)

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.
