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

13th Nov Blog Post 161 No Leo!

Leo has been exceptionally naughty this week. I bought some loo roll holder stands for the bathrooms. I know Leo likes to play with loo rolls and he used to knock them off the top of the toilet and unroll them. I wondered what he would do if I had them in the stand instead. Not much happened at first. Then after a day I noticed little scratch marks in the loo paper. Then last Sunday night I heard this crash while I was going to sleep. I figured it was probably Leo knocking something over so I just went to sleep and ignored it! Then in the morning I found the loo roll stand on the floor in the ensuite with loo roll ripped up on the floor. He had finally attacked it! However, he has not done it again and hasn’t knocked over the others yet.

On monday, I missed an appointment and was really mad and swearing and getting cross. The boys were a bit scared as they don’t like it when I get stressed. Leo promptly jumped on the work top and grabbed the kitchen roll and started ripping it up! It was so funny and I stopped my tantrum and laughed! That is clearly his way of coping with stress! He is so naughty! But I love him to bits.

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.
