I have a Ragdoll, too. His brother just passed 😢, but he was 17 1/2, and still was pretty, and loved to love...he definitely was hurting his last few days, but he still took time to groom his bro. He purred right up to his last breath--literally. So now we just have the one, MeMe (because it's all about him, all the time.) He isn't the brightest bulb, and he will fight the bath (in fact, for a not very bright cat, he's quite resourceful.) According to the vet, we likely have several more years with this one, if his senior kitty labs/tests are any indication. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this, as he is incredibly vocal, and I'm pretty sure he's missing his brother...but I guess it's good to know he's not screaming in pain. Truly, best, healthiest cats.

My cat is also a vet office favorite. Not a ragdoll (miscellaneous domestic shorthair probably with some oriental in there), but a very chill, sweet, friendly, tolerant cat.

My cat, who is mostly white, found a way to open the fireplace door and decided to change into a black cat. The amount of soot and charcoal that came off her was insane. I bathed her three times and it still took weeks for all the black to come off.

[@niece7959]

when I was around 2 years old, I did the same and to top it off, I proceeded to eat some of the charcoal. I'm told bathing me took awhile as well as cleaning my mouth out. perhaps I'm part cat 🤣

[@athena3016]

My black and white cat Hermione did the same. We were trying to capture her to take her to the vet, and she escaped into the fireplace. We hadn't used it in ages, so it wasn't hot at all, but it was still filled with ash. She was so dirty, she made little ashy paw prints on the exam table at the vet. Much to her displeasure, they offered to bathe her and we accepted. They did a pretty good job cleaning her up! XD

My darling Sami is the same - she's a rescue, amd she has never once scratched or bitten me...even when she has to get put on the cat carrier (which she hates with a vengeance), she doesn't turn on me. I sometimes wish she would, as she goes in to a bit of a freeze response at the vet. But i guess thats just her temperament- She's such a big lovebug and seeks affection to regulate her stress.

[@rebekkah9420]

My grandparents had a persian cat who wasn't cuddly (she would accept cuddles only from grandma) but looooved to be brushed by my grandfather once a day. She ran around his ankles screaming till he "made her pretty kitty" (which he always said while brushing her). After my grandparents were away on vacation 2 weeks I fed her and brushed her (since she was long haired, it really is necessary). After that vacation she wanted me to brush her, too. Everytime i visited. When I was at our grandtparent's before 3 p.m. she would demand brushing at 3 p.m. If I visited later she would demand brushing immediatly XD She was a beautiful cat that lived to be 19 (!) years old. We still miss her. Waiting for her to stroll around the corner. And she is gone for 8 years, I believe.

[@tidesbreath]

It's very possible he's getting overstimulated! For cats that are enjoying themselves and then suddenly "turn," I describe it like being tickled. It's not a bad sensation but at a certain point you get overwhelmed. I would recommend short brushing sessions or if you brush while they're in your lap [I do this with my overstimulated cat, to get him while he's relaxed], break up the brushing with 1-2 minute short breaks. Watch for his tail starting to flick/thrash, and for when the skin on his back jumps. Positive association with treats has also helped my cat a lot too!

[@Phoenix_DarkMoon]

Sounds like over stimulation.
