Anybody have a Ragdoll kitty?
Upon reflection, it occurred to me that my neighbor's new cat might be
a Ragdoll, because it goes limp when picked up and just sort of drapes over you. I did a Google image search, and there she was! Am I correct in recalling that Ragdolls have soft, thick fur, large frames, gentle dispositions, and "Siamese-type" coloring? I do remember that they are bred for that "going limp" characteristic. |

I do remember that they are bred for that "going limp" characteristic. Other cats may "go limp" when picked up too, like some Birmans do. Birmans have similar coloring as well, so that's another possibility. Does the cat have four white mittens? No, her feet are dark, dark brown fading to splotches that look like "Cookies and Cream" ice cream, as is her face. I looked at Birmans but they all had longer hair. This cat's hair is super soft and fuzzy, very very thick, but not long. I mean, not sleek like a DSH--but not long. And she has a big, rounded head and round very blue, very crossed eyes. I think when she fills out her normal weight might be in the 12-13 pound range when SLIM. She is a big-boned baby, and so laid back. |
