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

18th Dec Blog Post 170 A Week Till Christmas

The fence is fixed now thankfully. The boys are not convinced it is fixed though. They keep going behind the wheelie bins I left there, hoping there is still a gap there but not anymore! We had a nice walk in the garden this morning. Charlie brought a worm in with him but I confiscated it (threw it out the door) as I did not want him eating it. Eeww! The bin lorry scared them in for a while but they came out again. I think they are getting more used to the noise of the bin lorry on a Monday and they can see that I am not bothered by it so they don’t get as scared as they used to. Especially Leo and Charlie who are braver than Tom and Jack. They are now running about upstairs and chasing each other, burning off some excess energy.

I still haven’t managed to sort out which present is for who for Christmas and write on the labels and put in their stockings. I am waiting for a moment when they are all asleep upstairs and I have some privacy, that does not happen often!

Here is a pic of them (Jack, Tom and Leo) on the sofa the other day. They all looked so cute!

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.
