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

27th June Blog Post 22 Talking Cats

Leo and Charlie’s communication is interesting. The little meows I am used to by now, asking for food, play, cuddles or just to call out to me. Charlie has started chirruping now and we have a little chirrup conversation as I do with Jack. He also makes these little chirrup noises when he is playing with Leo.

Leo makes little squeaks when he is playing and also I noticed he does this strange clicking sound when he is stalking a toy which I have not heard from my Ragdolls before. I think it is his trademark! I love listening to them though it is so fun. I know it isn’t a language exactly but I understand what they mean when they talk and I know they understand me, or at least my feelings. I have been having a go at making the clicking sound as well and he was started to respond to it now. I think I am turning them into parrots!

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.
