Ragdolls are the dogs of the cat world. They need so much attention and love and never leave you alone. Great for those of us who always wanted a dog but could not get one.

[@TheCatButler]

Indeed!

[@dchasehuneke]

I disagree. Maine Coons are the dogs of the cat world. My Maine Coons love dogs - make friends with my neighbor’s Pit Bulls and Terriers - and the delivery folks. My Ragdoll is most loyal - follows me everywhere I go. She loves curling up around my feet.

[@SirMopy]

so are Holy Birman Cats....

[@C0yote_y0wl]

I’d also say Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats also deserve the same title because of their social nature and large dog-like size, but Ragdolls are also fitting for that title.

[@queenangel11]

That's exactly why I'm getting one

I have a ragdoll as an emotional support animal! His name is Mr. Wonton Caesar Salad 😅 they are amazing ESA’s, would absolutely recommend them to anyone for an ESA. Super fluffy and cuddly, always make you laugh because of their personalities!

[@Grace-er9ep]

My cat isn't a purebred ragdoll, but she shares many of the traits they have and she has vastly improved my mental health. Petting her and having her lay on top of me helps me control my anxiety, and in general feeling so loved by such a perfect little creature helps me immensely with my depression and even gets me through rough times when I'm having social problems due to PTSD. I get why you may want to get a purebred, but for the sake of the kitties (and your wallet lol, they are hella pricey) it might be beneficial to check out your local shelter first and meet some of the cats they have. I've met many cats who share the main ragdoll traits but had come from the streets where they could have all kinds of genetics. I hope you have the best of luck with any furry baby you get and your anxiety levels improve

​@@marioparaschiv1759 No, Ragdoll cats range from medium to HUGE like Maine Coons. Four is a lot to take care of unless they are indoor/outdoor cats...which is not recommended. I had one that was indoor/outdoor for twenty years. You can do it, but it's not recommended. Especially since many people know the cost of the cat, people will steal them, and Ragdoll cats are so easy going, they usually won't resist getting picked up and taken.

[@robertbrainard5651]

its good that you got more than 1, i've found that cats tend to be better emotionally when there's another cat around usually a sibling. If you're not around, at least they got each other to keep busy.

No one can beat Hazel, Spoonful of Ragdolls, with her 11 Ragdolls! I know she has her daughter and husband, but Hazel does most of work and gets scolded by 11 Ragdolls who will not leave the front door if she goes out shopping, and then they walk away and ignore her. LOL Their full coloring takes 3 years so the identical quints (the Five Gs) are not quite as identical as when they were born and started coloring. And another thing about Ragdolls is that they might hate cats and want to be left alone. Manon is a cat who hates cats. So, technically, there are 10 Ragdolls and whatever Manon thinks she is! LOL Your tutorial is very well done. You covered all the tops points, esp the actual cost! People don't like to discuss money.

[@TheCatButler]

Thanks for the kind words! Hazel sounds like a super hero taking care of 11 ragdolls!

[@desertegle40cal]

OMG that little flip your cat did to play with its companion at around 4:33 was friggin hilarious and so dang cute! It did a summer-salt onto its back to play with its companion. Such a cute and funny FLOP! Love Love LOVE it! 👍👍👍

[@TheCatButler]

aww thanks for the kind words! Yeah Arya likes to do these flops haha, she also likes to do twirls in the air randomly as well. You can see in first few minutes of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXy1c5p_oLSpf9E

[@desertegle40cal]

I just got a little Seal Bi color Lynx Ragdoll kitten two weekends ago and I am leaving today to go get another one, both are 5 months old. But I can’t decide between two kittens. A Seal Mitted with a Blazed nose or a Blue mitted ragdoll. Both look so friggin beautiful that it has literally been one of the most stressful choices of my life. But I had two Lilac Point Balinese from the same litter that were best friends. The female died from diabetes complications and my male is devastated. Its been almost 6 months and he cries for her every day and searches the house incessantly. So we got him a new ragdoll to play with but he doesn’t seem interested. So he has maybe 4 years left so I figured id get another one for my new kitten to play with and I hope they play together like your cats! Thats how my two Balinese played together. But the funny thing was when they would play too hard and one would get mad and they would growl at each other, just for them to start grooming each other like mad.. Like one giant fluff salad lol.. Ive always been partial to the lighter colors in cats. The lilacs, blues, flames, fires and reds. But they are all gorgeous and its so hard to choose.

[@TheCatButler]

Oh that is a tough decision. I am leaning towards a blue mitted ragdoll from the google images I see. Thanks for sharing your comment. Loved reading every bit of it. I am just imagining your Balinese cats playing together. Must have been a beautiful site to see!

[@desertegle40cal]

@@TheCatButler Yeah it was pretty funny how they would both squeeze into a spot or in a perch that was only meant for one cat. They looked uncomfortable but they would sleep there for hours. My cat Dyce (the male Balinese) was a runt and I didn’t plan on getting him when I chose my female but she adopted him as her own even though she was a kitten herself only two months older than he was. So my breeder said she couldn’t get rid of just one and had to sell them together since they both had such a strong bond. And I am SO glad I did. Their bond was so special and beautiful. It easy to see why Dyce is so devastated now. The always got along no matter the situation. Heck, in 14 years they only ever fought once and that was kind of my fault cause I was carrying Dyce and went by a perch that Isys was sleeping in and he reached out and sunk his claws into what he thought was the perch but was her thigh, because he didn’t know she was there and she got mad and chased him all around the house lol. But I just separated them for 30 minutes and when I opened the door they both flopped down in the doorway and started grooming each other. The funniest times were when they would be grooming each other and Dyce would start playing and biting Isys so she would do the same, they both would start making little growling noises and whacking each other in the face with their paws before they went back to grooming each other again. It was like WTF what that all about? LOL..

[@desertegle40cal]

@@TheCatButler Oh and BTW, I decided on getting the Seal Mitted with the Blazed nose. Because my new kitten is a seal bi color lynx so they would compliment each other in color. Plus the blue mitted was more docile and my new kitten is very energetic. The Seal Mitted is very playful so that was also a deciding factor. So i am now typing to you from a hotel in North Florida waiting for my breeder to get here from Alabama. I can’t wait to have two gorgeous fluffy kitties to play with Dyce. Even if he just likes to watch. Plus my breeder made a suggestion. Because I was trying to get a cat that looked like my Lilac Point Balinese female I want only looking at Blue mitted and pointed Ragodolls. But she said in her experience that you shouldn’t try getting a cat that looks like your old one or else you’ll be comparing the two and it could lead to disappointment. So that was a factor in my choice. Oh, I probably should add that my breeder has such a big heart that after she heard my story about my grieving cat she decided to sell me a show quality kitten she was saving for a breeder friend of hers for a pet quality price. THEN when I called her two weeks later and told her I was thinking about getting another kitten to play with my new one until Dyce warmed up to them she once again pulled from her small stock of kittens she saves for other breeders that are all show quality kittens and sold it to me for pet quality. Another beautiful female. So I am now waiting with baited breath to meet my new gorgeous baby girl who will be here in two hours! YAY! 😃

[@darkknight6638]

Ragdoll cats is most tenderness and nicely, beautiful elegant cats !

[@TheCatButler]

YES!

[@sandywuerch]

A few things mentioned here...I am a breeder of 20 years.We do NOT test each kitten we Test the Parents we intend to breed so as to not pass a positive HCM gentically.If familes are concerned they may test thir own cats with a mail in swob from swipes inside their cheeks to a few different Labs.The pattern in the video for a pinted ragdoll was a mitted NOT pointed.Pointed have solid face color as well as solid leg coloring.Feeding raw is also optonal.There are many types of high grade food on the market these days.Its also true if you get one ragdoll you will most likey get a 2nd.They do not have to be gotten together but will enjoy each other when ever you at the 2nd one.In my Opinion $3500 if to much for a Pet Ragdoll even of perfect markings.$1500 to $2200 if fair.

[@TheCatButler]

Hey Sandra thanks for clarifying the HCM and pointed piece! I agree a pet quality ragdoll is definitely on the lower end of the range. The range I included is to account for catteries in high cost of living areas and also I found that for most catteries that have produced a lot of champions, $3,500 price is the average price for a show quality cat from their program. Hope that helps!

[@aniab4306]

I also wanna get two ragdoll kittens but can't decide about the gender...any recommendations?

[@sharonshulby2445]

Hi Sandy! Thanks for replying before I did. You’re absolutely correct, I don’t test kittens either, only breeding cats. Many Ragdoll breeders are no longer testing for HCM. As for prices, seems like the responsible RD breeders here in Southern California are charging $2800-$3500 for the cats. I don’t have a separate price for show quality. All I end up with is angry parents if the cat doesn’t like to show.

[@sandywuerch]

@@sharonshulby2445 crazy we place our pets for 1800-2000 as long as they are within 1-7 hours from us.Thats crazy not testing unless they are a 2nd or more gen!

Well done! I'm a TICA registered Ragdoll breeder. I loved the video and the commentary. Thanks for making the effort. One thing I thought about that I'm not sure you'd want to include: I have a male from one line and a female from another line. The female (Sybilla) (pronounced si-BILL-uh) comes very directly from the original Anna Baker lines. I have noticed some differences in her personality. For one thing, when I pick her up, she doesn't flop but instead watches the world with avid interest. She loves to be picked up, but it's for adventure, not cuddling. She's also an excellent huntress. Otherwise, she is precisely the kind of cat you describe in your video. Thanks!

Your cats are beautiful and I like be the video! We got two red brothers in 2016, one bicolour and one mitted. The bicolour looked more like cream. Sadly, we lost him to kidney disease last year, he was only four (kidney disease usually occurs much later so it was complete shock when we found out). Thanks to new early screening tests, we were able to identify early changes in his brother. After putting him on a special diet, he is doing great. If you can get screening done, I recommend it. We have since adopted a 2yo seal mitted boy from the same breeder, and a blue mitted boy who just turned 1, all from very dedicated and ethnical breeders. They are awesome cats, each with very different personalities, the red boy is a smoochy trouble-maker, the seal boy is chatty, affectionate and just loves everyone, and the blue baby is a total maniac but super sweet 😊❤️

[@TheCatButler]

Hey thanks for sharing your personal story! They just recently got their blood work done with the new screening test for kidney disease. And it seems ok but they are only 1. Did the doctors say the kidney disease they think is genetic if it was that early? Your family seems very sweet and beautiful. A lot of love in the house!

[@macycharmin]

Awwww I feel for your loss! I was given my 1st ever cat at the airport with the 'promise' that the lady would send me a kennel and $ when she got home to get her back. She was trying to sneak her on a plane, I was 'nominated' by those around the situation to temporarily take kitten. I didn't get the woman's info, though she had mine, i never heard back from the woman. The kitten was probably 4 wks old and was supposedly an orphaned stray, the vet I took her to said she was a Persian, which became more evident as she grew. Fast FWD 9 years, she got kidney disease, I was devastated. Over the years with Tons of $ in vet bills including a few rounds of sub-Q fluids, she passed away, much to my surprise she lived an awesome life to 18.5 years. I was so blessed. Her death was still very hard, so I definitely feel for you.

[@eslek6644]

I recognize your story! We had 2 sisters (domestic short hairs) and we lost 1 last year due to sudden kidney failure, she was just 3,5 years old. A special diet for the other one and she’s good, thankfully. A few months later we got her a new friend 😊. It has made me a bit hyper alert on the cats well being, scared that i might lose them unexpectedly because they cannot tell me when they’re not feeling well.

I have a blue bi-color ragdoll female I got from my aunt a year ago. I have 3 domestic shorthair cats who are all seniors (two are litter mates that are now 15 and I have an 18 year old as well). To say she is the chillest cat is a major understatement, she gets along so well with my other cats from the very beginning and adjusted to our crazy cat household so well. I would 100% recommend a ragdoll, only downside for me is the hair 😂

Can confirm on ragdolls being good with other animals in the house and two cats being better than one. I got a ragdoll cat recently after my Ragdoll Mutt (From the street and had markings, behavior, and size exactly like a ragdoll) passed away early spring last year. I loved his personality and coloring and size so it was an easy decision. And I can say it was the right choice. I have a 10 year old female black cat named Athena. She likes having cat company, but isn't overtly friendly with other cats. I hoped the new kitten and Athena would at least be friendly.... But my new ragdoll managed to charm her more than any other cat, including my ragdoll mutt. I think it really helped that he was only a small kitten when he arrived, but he's got a tenaciously friendly and affectionate personality. I hope that their relationship grows more and more so that Athena becomes even more comfortable with him trying to invade her space. I'm just really glad that Athena has another little brother after her other brother died so suddenly.

[@TheCatButler]

Awww thanks for sharing such a beautiful story. Very impressive that your ragdoll charmed Athena. Such a cool story :D

[@Muninn_Crow]

I had a Ragamuffin for a few years (think coyotes got her :c), similar to the Ragdoll breed genetically. Super sweet and would actually follow me on walks, meowing up a storm on the way out, but silent on the way back. Figured out near the end that she was saying "Come back, human! It's dangerous out there!". She was also surprisingly mechanically inclined for a barn cat. Learned how to open our windows, but lacked the strength to actually do so! I bet Ragdolls are just as awesome. :)

[@TheCatButler]

Awww Sean thanks for sharing your story! Sad to hear the coyotes got her :(

[@Muninn_Crow]

@@TheCatButler To be fair, a local stray had begun courting her, so who knows. She may have run off with him, returned home to her siblings at our neighbor's place, or been killed. I like to think she simply ran off and plans to come back one day. But after three months of searching every property around me (I live in the woods), I may never know. Maybe she moved in with the local cougar den infesting my other neighbor's property! XD

[@emilybirchall745]

I have a red but colour ragdoll and he’s my pride and joy. But be aware that all cats are different so every ragdoll will not display all of these traits. He’s the most affectionate cat I’ve ever seen, I often wake up to him cuddling into my face. However, he’s not docile, if he’s made to do something he doesn’t want to do e.g. vets, trimming nails, picked up, brushing; he’ll bite and scratch like other breeds; he’s a little rough with our new rescue adult cat who is half his size; he gets on with the family dog but it took some work; he bounces around the house when he’s playful; he misses us when we leave but isn’t reliant on us. Point is that cats are complex animals with thoughts and feelings, you can’t just breed out all the bits you don’t like - so don’t be disappointed if you get a ragdoll and they don’t check every single box, be ready for scratching, biting, misbehaving but also a new best friend :)

Very well said! Yeah there is still an individual component

For anyone looking to get a ragdoll cat, make sure the breeder does a good job socializing their kittens. I got a couple Ragdolls from a breeder that didn't socialize them, and while they have warmed up to me and my husband, they aren't super affectionate and are afraid of other people.

They are very Angora Turkish looking. A neighbor has one, it has a little bit of a Burmese look, though still mostly Angora like.

I’m getting a ragdoll kitten for my birthday in January and I’m so excited! This really helped because some of this I wasn’t aware of. Luckily I have another cat so when I’m at school, my older cat can watch over it and make sure its not lonely. ( I called the kitten an it because I don’t know the gender of the kitten I’m getting yet)

Congratulations! I am glad the video helped :)

[@lukeskywalker1840]

Nine year ragdoll cat owner here. Not all of them like to be picked up. All cats are individuals. Mine follows me around yowling. If I still on the couch and I’m not petting it, it scratches at me. It’s super chill, very low-key and not paranoid at all like the rescue cat that we have. Sleep on the bed with me every night and is truly a gorgeous looking animal

[@OpulenceCl0thin]

Are boy cats more affectionate and seek for more cuddles?

[@TheCatButler]

For ragdoll cats it doesn't matter as much. The breed generally is very affectionate for both genders. Hope that helps!

[@Saminthefloof]

I have a 4 month (almost 5) month old Lilac bi-color ragdoll named Sam. He's the best!!❤

[@TheCatButler]

awwww lilac is such a rare color!

[@Saminthefloof]

@@TheCatButler I know right?! I actually didn't know that until I started really looking at him as he was growing. He was labeled by his breeder as a "Blue Bi-color" and his dad is just that but his mom is a Cream Bi-color and so he got the best of both worlds. I don't think the breeder realized what she sold me. He's very handsom! Or as my Friend said meeting him the other day, "whaaaat? He's rediculous !" 🤣

I’m worried that they won’t be like that typical ragdoll cat cause I got them from a pet shop. She does go limp in the arms and like I said before, rubs up against you and nuzzles sometimes. But hoping it becomes more.

[@jarimikkola2426]

I love my two (bro & sis) are the best. I love them so, so much! I'm an older man of 70 and these two cats were the greatest (and I have had cats my entire life)! The breed was perfect. They are curretnly 15 years old and you would not guess them as old cats.) I love them so, so much.

All the teemos unite! Haha

[@nate3432]

My pair of male littermates are a smaller red bicolor and a large cream mitted. They have quite different personalities and voices too. The large one eats so much more food. I'm so happy to have two such different ragdolls because I see more of the spectrum of personality. I commented because I think your cats are red, also known as flame. Could be the camera or my monitor though. It is hard to tell. From what I understand, cream is a darker color. I also don't think the darker cream shade of my cat came in until he aged a bit. Maybe your cats are cream and they are still young?

[@TheCatButler]

Hey you have two beautiful cats :). I actually wanted the red/flame when I was getting my cats, but they weren’t available at the time. It’s seems your large cat is similar to Teemo, both like to eat. Hey good question! It could be the lighting. Red and cream are quite close haha. Arya is like between light to dark brown. And Teemo is on the lighter brown side. But you are right that cream takes a while to come in. I think some of the footage was them still growing.

[@aniab4306]

I also wanna get two ragdoll kittens but can't decide about the gender...any recommendations?

[@nate3432]

@@aniab4306 One of my males, the heavier one, had a urinary tract problem once, which had to be treated in as an emergency. He's almost 10 yrs old. They say urinary issues are more common in males. If there are any behavioral differences I think you could find it to be luck of the draw because my male cats are so different. Males are generally larger. Mine are 13 and 17 lbs, and were raised identically. For the elderly or weak, size could matter. Our 8 lb non-ragdoll is harder to handle than both ragdolls. But, I can easily carry in one arm the 13 lb cat but not the 17.

[@haleigh8689]

I have always wanted a ragdoll and a Saint Bernard. Would they get along? Will I have any problems with both of them being in the same home? How often should I give them the raw meat? How much should I bathe or brush them?

[@TheCatButler]

Hey great question! Yes they would! Ragdolls are one of the chillest cat breeds! hmm in terms of frequency for raw meat, I think you would have to choose what type of food style you want to do, raw food, wet food, or dry. If you pick raw it would be every meal, twice a day when they are an adult. Bathing usually happens when they poop on themselves or once every 2 months so no mats form. I brush them every day so they don't throw hairballs. Hope that helps!

I've have 2. One is not a lap cat one is. Buster is very loving,affectionate and so sweet. Buddy lets you rub his tummy but dosn't like to sit on you or get picked up. Their Maine isn't fully filled in until age five. They are known for heart problems. Buster lived 10 yrs. He was on heart meds for 2 yrs. Buddy has thyroid problems- he's 11. He's on special food. I've always had 2 cats - so their not lonely. Mine are excellent hunters. Their indoors but love to go outside with me in the nice weather on a leash. They catch moles and once a chipmunk just tied up and I let them go after they caught them. I'm getting a kitten to keep Buddy company in a couple weeks from a shelter. She is a tabby. I find they live much longer without all these health problems. I've had a couple live to
