Might Actually Pay For A Cat Next Time

.....Usually just take in a stray but these are called rag dolls cause they just lay in your arms when you pick them up and they are sooo cute!

Look for a mutt cat that looks like these. They are fairly common and become floppy rag kittys the same way. For that matter, any cat will if it's handled A LOT as a kitten. Case in point: I've never had a purebred, and all of mine have been "ragdolls". That breed is one of my favorites though. They have such seweet looking little faces.

Not true overall.

Two of my cats were raised in my home from 2 weeks on, and the rest from mostly around 5-7 weeks.

Every single one was handled a lot as kittens, and the number who like to be held and cuddled is actually less than the number who prefer to be at arm's distance for petting.

I do believe breed has something to do with it. But cats are as individualistic as humans. Nature or nurture go out the window when their inner selves come to play. I didn't teach Ripley to be an attack cat that switches from cuddly sweet to biting bitch in an instant, nor did I teach Fletcher to crave my attention so madly, he won't leave me alone even when I'm sleeping.

I've seen ragdolls at cat shows, and both Jon and I fell for them. (Yes, Jon goes to cat shows with me ) The breed overall does really seem sweet. We've talked about getting one ourselves someday. But we generally don't like to pick our cats like we pick our shoes. Once our current dozen drops in numbers closer to 1-2, any new cat brought in will be brought in by need basis - and we're leaning toward cats with special needs. (Hate thinking about the "number of my cats dropping," but future decisions will revolve a lot around that.)

My kid saw this and wants the one with white paws.

And I understand about getting attached to strays....at the moment I have 3 adopted throw away types. My man is happy I am sticking with the animal variety for now as humans get expensive lol.
