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

15th Dec Blog Post 169 Not Long to Christmas

Hopefully fence should be fixed today. Fingers crossed. I have managed to keep it propped up with the wheelie bins and some long bits of wood that boyfriend propped up the bins with. The boys have been sniffing about the bins all week and seeing if they can get through the gaps but to no avail! The weather is still crap and the garden is a swamp. They have not been spending as much time outside as they normally do except for Leo who does not mind getting wet. However, I mind when they come in with dirty paws and leave paw marks all over the floor and Leo and Jack jump on the table and flick muddy water all over me and my laptops. I guess I can only blame myself for letting them out in wet weather but I know they enjoy it and it is part of their routine now. This is a pic of them snoozing on the sofa before I left for work yesterday afternoon. I really wish I had their life, it would be great!

Their presents are all wrapped and in the cupboard. I just need to sort out whose is whose and put them in their stockings on Christmas eve. I am looking forward to opening them with them on Christmas day. Also looking forward to opening mine from boyfriend and giving him his. Should be fun.

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.
