Your adult ragdolls all look like this cat would if it had some TLC
and filled out some. Their fur is unique, isn't it? Very thick and
fuzzy but not very long? I think perhaps the neighbor's cat is a mix
because of her spatter "cookies and cream" markings and her very round
head and high forehead. Thank you.

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.

If you decide it is a Ragdoll, you might want to mention to your neighbour
that Ragdolls can be prone to heart disease. There's info about HCM
generally and a link about its relevance to Ragdolls specifically he

But tell her not to panic, my cat (Persian) has had HCM for over four years
and is fine touch wood

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?

why did you ask about mitted paws just curious?

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.

Ragdolls are semi long haired, but one of mine has short hair the other long
haired.

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.



does your neighbour not know what she is?

She just adopted her from the pound, she was to be euthanized this
week, so, no, she doesn't have any way of knowing. I offered her my
guess last night and have been sharing all advice and thoughts here
with her today.
