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

21st Aug Blog Post 140 New Toy

I was shopping in Wilkos which is soon to be closing down and they had a pet section. I found a new toy for the boys. A cardboard scratching board with holes, balls inside, and some cat nip. Took it home and gave it to the boys. They all showed interest but it was Leo who enjoyed it the most! See video. He loved putting his paws in the holes and within two minutes he had got one of the balls out while me and boyfriend were watching! We gave him a congratulatory clap! Charlie managed to get a ball out later on as well and I told him what a clever boy he is. I have put some other toys inside it now for him to root around and try and get out the holes. It was definitely a good buy!

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.
