Anybody have a Ragdoll kitty?

Anyway, as it turns out, I think the kitty in question is just a
really, really laid back Siamese mix. She has gotten used to the noise
the kids make and just sleeps and kneads all day and seeks them out
for snuggling at night. She can be enticed to play very easily--but
she is still like a sack of potatoes when you pick her up. It's
precious. The kind of cat you have to get a bit of distance from if
you want to see her, she clings so close. I picked her up today from
my shoulder and damn if she wasn't looking right at me, eyes not
crossed at all. They just wander all over the place. The family loves
her, and I am just so happy she was spared from being killed at the
pound. A happy story. She rubs her face on the children's cheeks,
marking them as her humans.

She sounds like a sweet cat. These stories always make me wonder who would have
abandoned such a nice cat, and really glad she found a happy home.

You and me both! After declawing her! What kind of beasts are walking
around in human form these days, and why aren't they sucked into space
before they can get their hands on trusting little creatures? No
wonder I have been accused of preferring the company of animals to
that of humans!

Your post solidifies the phrase, "You can't save them
all, but focus on the ones you did."
It keeps us sane, and keeps us trying.

Sherry, I will never forget two years ago, when I went to the shelter
where I found Cheeky. I don't know if it caught me at the wrong time,
or what, but all those sweet little creatures in cages lining the
walls, roaming the rooms, looking at me, some rubbing up against me
like "PICK ME!!" They just left me with this excruciating feeling of
helplessness. It was just before Christmas and I offered to pay the
adoption fee for any of my family and friends who would take one of
the cats. Not ONE person took me up on it. I don't understand it. Cats
are such joys, and you know there are not many families that would not
benefit from their company. So many people live alone, too. It's just
sad that the many who do don't know how cheaply they can have
wonderful company!
