Maine Coon Cat vs Ragdoll Cat - As DIFFERENT As They Can Get!

[@user-yb6tk1ru6x]

The difference is that the Maine coon looks like it could kill you, whereas the ragdoll looks like an actual cuddly toy.

I've had both. The Maine coon was more of a challenge but lots of fun and loved snuggles. The rag doll was more like a throw pillow than a cat. Both big beautiful boys.

[@taxusbaccata9200]

Throw pillow, that's it! I'm vigorously physical with cats and heard Ragdolls can take a lot of manhandling.

[@siadawn]

Hahaha. 😅Throw pillow: YES!!! As well as : Foot warmer, _scarf_ (haha), and weighted "blanket" LOL I lost my Ragdoll boy ( of *18 years* ) this year... in January... *he died in my arms* IN the emergency vet's parking lot the second we arrived. :'( It broke my heart...and it's still broken. 😥💔 Now I have 2 Maine Coon kittens (well, they're just over a year old; but for a MC, that's still a "kitten," right?? LOL). When I got them, they were 9 months old. They _are_ very different breeds, of course, but I find that my Maine Coon BOY (I have both a boy and a girl) does a lot of things my Ragdoll did...not just "normal" cat things but strange little purrsonality quirks lol. And...you're right; the boy MC I have is _such_ a cuddlebug!!! 😻 But don't get it twisted, it's _only_ on *HIS* terms. 🤣 (But he _will_ tolerate the rare occasion I need a cuddle, myself, and cart him around like luggage LOL). My girl MC kitty is a love bug too; but she is much more standoffish, especially with people she doesn't know. In fact, I'M really the only person she _does_ like. 😅 They are from a shelter; and I was told she'd be a bit of a challenge bc she was not "handled" much as a younger kitten. My Ragdoll boy was ...how do I put this... *velcro* ?? *Superglue* ??? 😅 He was _hardly_ the stereotype of the "aloof, independent" cat we always hear so much about. And of course, that was _good_ because I loved him _just_ as much :) He slept with me. He ate with me. He stole my food. He watched me take a bath. He got *IN* the bath _with_ me (both my MC boy and Ragdoll boy _love_ water haha). He would not leave my side...He was _never_ far from me. Losing him was the hardest thing I've ever gone through; still not "over" it and I don't know if I will ever be. 😥💔 He was what I term, my "soul cat." He was also my *ESA* (Emotional Support Animal). I suffer from epilepsy / Grand Mal seizures. And man...even tho this happened in January, I'm not sure life will ever be the same without him. I miss him terribly...he was my _everything_ ... 😥❤ My banner pic is testimony to my love of the breed. 😻 But now I have a _new_ breed to love - the regal Maine Coon!!! 😃🥰❤

[@ajruther67]

@@siadawn I am so sorry for the loss of your Ragdoll kitty. It's never easy losing a pet as most of us treat pets like family. I lost a Snowshoe in 2020. His name was Bandit. Then a year later a stray cat kept hanging around my house. I wasn't ready to adopt another cat after Bandit passing away so I didn't bring the stray in the house. But he kept hanging around so I bought him a kitty house and got hard plastic and made him an eating/water area to keep the wind and dirt away from the food and it was next to the cat house and named him Kit Kat. About a month ago, he got into a scuffle with I believe a skunk and I think was sprayed in the face. I didn't have the money to take him to a vet and so he died a week later. He would always be in my drive way when I got home from work meowing for food. I miss Kit Kat hanging around my house. I can't believe I miss just a stray cat. I'm still undecided if I'm ready to actually adopt and bring another cat into my house. Losing 2 in 2 years is too much for me.

I did a DNA test on my female cat, she is Russian Blue, Maine Coon, and Ragdoll. She was 15lbs at her peak weight. She is 16 years old now, has kidney issues (stage 1) and thyroid, hyperthyroidism (medication works for her) that just turned up. YES, you have to play with them, she was so wild as a kitten. She was a rescue, very chatty, and runs the house lol. Best cat!

[@alyssahamlett]

Aww!! I would love to do ADN a test on my cat he looks like a Himalayan/some of these rag dolls but but all of his siblings were tabby cats and his mom was a tabby cat apparently he was the only one in the litter that came out looking like that blue eyes and everything hes gorgeous also so vocal, love him. I'm glad your baby is with you and being well taken care of

[@VARY78]

Do you feed any kibble (dry/hard food)? Swapping to a wet food diet will be SO much healthier for her kidneys and body in general. Kibble is a common cause of kidney issues a majority of the time and almost always the reason cats get urinary tract diseases, it's important they get enough hydration in their diet. When they can't get enough hydration then the kidneys work harder and eventually cannot flush enough minerals out. Cats wait to drink until they're around 8% dehydrated already and it would take them over 2,000 laps of water to drink an entire cup since all they can do is flick water into their mouthes unlike dogs who can scoop. So as you can see... it's very important they get enough fluid in their diet. A low ash (phosphorus and magnesium) wet food food is all you need. I work in feline nutrition, I see it a lot and it's very easy to help it with a proper diet!

My makes all food dishes fall, if they are empty, and will bang metal dish on a floor by pressing one side of it with paw and letting it go constantly, that is his way of saying, I have no food. Makes me to never forget to add food for the night unless I want to be awaken with a bang. His water bowl is so big that he can swim in it, anything smaller is not a water bowl in his opinion, and he likes to dig it, making everything, including himself, wet. Breeder warned that water bowl has to be heavy, so we have smaller one too, but very heavy so he can't move it, but mostly just other cat uses it.

We bought a RD ….read reviews from the breeder, sounded great he was 17 weeks when we got him. He is the most anti social cat we have ever had, can only touch him if HE wants on his time, he is the total opposite from what I had seen in RD from others and researched on. After we had him a few months I found out the breeder had so many kittens at the one time she would pick out her favourite and ignore the others, so they didn’t really get any human interaction in the most important part of their life …the first nine weeks. PLUS, she let the kittens run wild on there acreage so he had become addicted to the outdoors …..I was sooooooo tempted to send him back, as I had even told her I wanted an indoor cat. So even though I researched the breeder, I will NEVER ever buy another pet without first meeting the kitten/puppy. She lived too far away so he was transported to us, never ever, ever again. I don’t care how adorable or how wonderful the reviews are I will never believe them, I honestly think she got her friends to write reviews for her. A friend was telling me about a relative who had a RD with the exact temperament of ours and I am convinced they came from the same breeder, said they got him from out west from where we live, she said you would swear she was describing our RD, his was exactly the same ….so beware and never purchase a pet that you can’t physically see and touch first.

I rescued a Maine Coon mix from a feral life about 5 years ago. What was known was that she was about 11 or 12 years old then, somewhat abandoned by a man too old to care for her. She was a wonderful, sweet cutie, a beautiful Tuxedo who loved to cuddle. One day several weeks ago, without much warning, she died a horrible, violent way. I was devastated. She lived past her expiration date and at least went very fast, a happy kitty until the last few minutes; perhaps going fast is best. I only understood when I found out about HCM, and realized she likely died from a sudden heart attack. I still miss her. I'll get another Maine Coon or MC mix because the one I had was a great pal, personable & lovely. The MC need for frequent grooming is an opportunity for bonding, not a chore!

Great video! :-) $2000 is definitely NOT the top end for show-quality Ragdolls though. I've seen US and European breeders charging $4000-$5000 in recent months. The lockdown effect I suppose.

Thanks for the comment

I checked out the prices for MC and they are 4-5K in the PAC NW.

I think my boy is a cross between the two. He has the points (black face, legs and tail with a brown body), but his eyes are gold, not blue. He also has the Maine Coon lion's mane and long body, but his face shape is soft, more like a Ragdoll. He was gifted when his first family moved overseas, so I'm not sure. He's laid back AND mischievous

I have booth breeds, booth are males. And i need to say, it works great together! I had my ragdool 1 year first, and know for, 4 month i have my maine, so he is a (big) kitty. But they're like brothers❤️

[@santaabolina7235]

I also have two males, but my Maine coon is older than ragdoll. But just one month older. Also great friends

[@tu5149]

I literally got 2 ragdolls yesterday. I'm so happy 😊

[@jasonupson]

We have one 2 year old female Ragdoll and just put our selves on the waitlist for another male Ragdoll from the same breeder. My friends almost fall off their chairs when we tell them the price. We also have two rescue cats one passed at 19 years old and the other still kicking at 17 years old. Our old cat Disco doesn't want anything to do with Daisy so we decided to get another Ragdoll.

Gus, my Maine Coon cat. 20 to 21 pounds ... Love this male cat guy. Gus loves my little orange Tiger cat Mr. Rusty... Cost of Gus and Mr. Rusty ... about 50 dollars together... Human Society cat.... Love these guys....

My ragdoll did not have a ragdoll personality 🤣

[@Starryflame]

My rescue cat is part Ragdoll with tortie/harlequin silky fur and greenish blue eyes XD (more blue than green, but not that vibrant blue that Ragdolls are known for. Her kittens did have that blue though) She's adorable. Unsure what the other part of her is, but she goes between doing the Ragdoll Flop and the normal cattitude when I pick her up XD The only reason I think she'd be not good with other cats is due to the people that had her before the Rescuers got her from them, she was beaten up by other cats while she was defending her kittens, and I think the owners were cruel to her too, I also shudder to think what those owner's kids did to her too. She was super skittish when I got her, and it hasn't gone away, but she's mellowed out a bit more towards me, so some of the things in this story makes sense to me now

[@josienicolosi114]

I was told mine is a ragdoll. She has the long beautiful beige fur all over. She has no other markings but her eyes are very green. She weighs 20 lbs. I am crazy about her and she won't leave me alone for a second.

I got a rag doll kitten (rescue) for a rehoming fee. Best $100 I’ve ever spent!

[@YourNotMaria]

I'm getting one for 1k .,.

[@tanyaroberson9629]

I've had purebreds but my all time favorite cat was a stray kitten, mixed breed, I found at the park starving and cold.

[@icesilverwind]

They're both big cats so they need big cat trees. Trees with more spacing and height for a big cat to sit up properly, sprawl properly, etc. Once you go big cat, you don't go back.

[@johnwu7509]

I have both, love both to death.

Ragdoll: Heewoo, let's lilve life and be happy ^-^ Maine Coon: We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark

I have a maine coon tabby mix, she dont like anyone in my house that isn't me or my bf lol. She tolerates my son and other people lol. Very sweet cat, demands head pets all the time. Extremely tolerant of my ass chasing her around sometimes lol.

[@soras-gaming]

I have 2 maine coons. Brother and sister . They are the best. But i think i would love to add a raggdoll to my family as wel. I love those cats as well.

[@TealCheetah]

Best breed of cat is a rescue

[@alexandraasbury9974]

Wow, that Rag-doll cat's eyes are bluer than mine. I've never seen eyes on a cat that were so blue, if blue at all!! That's amazing. Most of my cats eyes are greenish. My MC has teal-colored eyes, though.

[@alyssahamlett]

My cat looks like a Himalayan, bluest eyes I've ever seen..fell in love the moment I saw him. He was apparently the only sibling to look like him the rest were tabby

[@beastehful]

One thing to note about longer haired cats is they have a propensity for overgrooming, which can exacerbate feline acne, and can result in nasty infections on their chin. Regular brushing and maintaining food and water hygiene is must if you're going to adopt a heckin floofer
