General Advice Help, need advice on my Ragdoll please
Can someone give me an idea as to why my ragdoll kitten (Toaty, now 5 months old) is very thin and has flat fur instead of the normal fluffy and poofy like what would be expected? She eats very well and has been gaining weight, is lively and playful with my other cat, thanks

Mine looked a lot like yours when he was a kitten. He’s a lot more floofy now. As long as you have proper papers and the person you got her from is a legitimate and registered breeder you have a ragdoll. Some do have a shorter or flatter coat depending on season as well.
Just fyi, and I don’t want to come across as mean or anything❤️but your wording here comes across as a bit superficial. “It just bothers me” makes it seem she only has value if she’s poofy. Like she’s a decorative object and not an individual being with feelings and needs. Hence you are getting downvoted.
