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

January 9th Blog Post 76 Feedings

This is my neighbour’s story about feeding the boys one night for me in his words:

‘Hiya, your boys are fine, but Charlie has got even cheekier. Normally he waits by my feet while I am filling up the bowls up, but tonight, he jumped onto the worktop and started tucking in before I even finished filling the bowls! I rushed the other three bowls upstairs while he was eating on the worktop, and then, in an instant he appeared upstairs and started eating theirs. Then he rushed back to the worktop to finish his before eating some biscuits. He must have two stomachs! At least I got an Xmas present from him. In your bags of presents, there was one of his orange springs. I think Charlie must have put it there for me. I gave it him back and we had a play with it. I stayed a bit longer and gave them plenty of fuss as Charlie and Leo seemed to be competing for who got the most fuss.’

It did make me smile!

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.
