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

17th Oct 2022 Blog Post 54 Spiders and Hiding Places

They got a spider for me yesterday that was in the kitchen cupboard. I was going to get a jug out, and it had a huge spider in it, so I screamed and dropped it on the floor. They all come running, Leo gets there first and starts picking it up and throwing it about (the spider not the jug). Jack sits there watching but feels a bit pushed out by Charlie and Leo I think. Then finally, Leo gets bored and drops it, and then Charlie ate it and left three legs on the floor, yuck.

Towels, sheets, tea towels, rugs, mats. They love to tunnel under them and hide in them. I like to wrap them up in sheets and tea towels from the washing. Jack especially likes to hide under a towel, and then Charlie and Leo come along and sit on him, and he growls at them! Its works on them as well. If you cover Charlie and Leo then Jack comes along and sits on them and makes them squeal. It’s so funny. They love playing on the bed when I am changing the sheets that is their favourite game. Tom is the only one who is not that bothered, though. He is so lazy and just watches from the sidelines.

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.
