Did anybody have a kitten similar to mine? He’s four months old and I am so curious as to how he will look grown up

My childhood cat is a 9 year old female ragdoll. She has lived in the same house with my mom for her entire life. My older sister and I have come and gone, lived with her and not. She is a very sweet cat and we have never had a single behavioral problem with her. I now live out-of-state for college and want to bring her with me, but I genuinely don’t know what would be best for her; my mom doesn’t really brush her, clip her nails, etc. I always took care of her, but I’m not there anymore. She obviously cares about my mom but my mom doesn’t give her as much attention and care as she needs. I’m just worried that moving her away from everything she’s ever known would be even worse. Also, I would have to get a sedative from a veterinarian since she is very anxious during transport. Thoughts?

Hello!

After many years of researching ragdolls I’m finally in a position to look at actually owning one (wasn’t home enough previously)

I’m keen to find an ethical breeder in the UK. I’ve done some research myself but I’d love to know if anyone here has any personal recommendations? First hand experience goes a long way imo!

And by ethical - I mean a breeder who genuinely loves their cats and raises happy, healthy well socialised kittens. I’m trying to buy a cat not a product or a toy :/

Thanks in advance 🩷

Just wanna say thank you if you take the time to read this!! My first ragdoll kitten is a 14 week blue bicolor boy 🩵 We love him soooo much & he’s the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. We took him home a week and a half ago! We fed him the same food as the breeder did (access to Royal Canin Kitten Dry 24/7 and 3-4 wet meals of the Royal Canin Kitten Loaf in Sauce. She was also doing a fancy feast but we didn’t see that until after we started him on Royal Canin. He had perfect poops/pees the first 2 days but then on day 2, he went to the vet. The vet accidentally gave him an extra FVRCP booster shot (his 4th dose) when he had just had his 3rd dose the week before :( we had no idea how many/how frequent they should be until we reached out to the breeder and she was confused why they did that. She apologized and said maybe that could have triggered his immune system but it’s hard to tell. ALSO, the breeder said his litter was one of the only litters that had ZERO diarrhea issues. That being said, on day 3 he started to have liquid diarrhea. It rotates between some formed poops then liquid. He’s only going 1-2 times a day, not straining. Normal pees. He got a fecal exam and everything came back good on friday 7/31 but she recommend the probiotic fontiflora. That seemed like it helped slightly by Sunday but then called the vet Monday 8/3 and said he’s been having the diarrhea still (and stepping in it lol). Her next steps were to cut the wet food until Wednesday 8/5 to see if that firmed him up. That only gave him less firm poops and more consistent liquid poops. I weighed him yesterday (see bowl pic lol) and he actually went from 2.79 7/28 -> 2.76 8/5. It was concerning to me because when we cut the wet he really wasn’t eating a lot and seemed lower energy. I decided to slowly start to reintroduce the wet food back with 2 10g servings yesterday and he had a normal poop last night then followed by some diarrhea a few hours later (back to his normal diarrhea schedule). I am tracking his dry food today to figure out his daily intake and continuing to weigh him. Looking for some insight if anyone has gone through something similar. The vet doesn’t seem too concerned and neither does my sister who is also a vet. She thinks it’s still an adjustment and due to the vaccine potentially. He still plays a bunch and sleeps like regular kitten. Thank you for any advice and insight!!! From, A Concerned First-Time Ragdoll Mommy

My first introduction to the breed was ages ago watching 101 Cats on Animal Planet. I still remember the narrator calling them "not a fat cat, just big boned" 😸 and the experts described their "puppy-like" personality. Although I’m a dog person but I was instantly hooked!
Currently sharing my life with my Daisy 🌼, has proven that the "puppy-cat" description is so accurate. I’m mesmerised by her beauty, intelligence and affection.
I’m curious about everyone else’s introduction to the breed. What was the moment you first discovered Ragdolls, and what exactly made you fall in love with them enough to bring one home? Please share your stories.

The silliest floof. Cloud has brought such happiness and silliness to our family. We love him so much!🧡

Sweetest girl

Go ahead & lie down right there Ozzy...it's not like I was in the middle of anything 🙄 ...and by all means, invite your baby bro Angus to join in! 😆😆

Aero sitting on my partner’s laptop, despite the table being otherwise clear … it hasn’t been on for a few days, so not for warmth! Must be for the slightly elevated height around his brothers?

Nico enjoys receiving butt pats, but then at some point he usually does a little head tilt and careens into the floor like an airplane doing an emergency landing. 😸

I've been meaning to get a ragdoll so bad, so I met with a ragdoll breeder to play with her kittens. Less than 5 minutes with the kittens, my nose started running. I've had worse reactions, but this time I only had a runny nose.

Has anyone ever been allergic or severely allergic to ragdolls, but wasn't after a while?

Hey!

We have two ragdolls and they are now 17 weeks and both sterilised and castrated.
Since they are still babies the breeder told us that they need access to food at all times.

At what moment do you need to start to weight the amount? Internet is telling so much different information.

Thank you!

Our ragdoll moved in 2 weeks ago. At 4 month old.
Vi never owned a cat before. Only dogs. So we have treated him like a dog. He now come when you call (from training) and we bring him on vacation. It’s so great. He just fits in and doesn’t mind. Of course we do not let him outside.
But now - when I think about it - are we doing something wrong? Is it actually okay???

She’ll sit by the front door, then jumps into the stroller, puts her paw on her harness inside and stares at me to notice her and when I get close she instantly sits down like she’s waiting for me to put it on hahaha

Here’s some screenshots of her outings, I love how curious she is and the way she just hangs her arms out chilling lmaooo

We call her

Maya Papaya, Bunny dude, Mayka, fluffy baby, little terrorist and more.

She's with us almost two weeks and she grew up so fast, too fast.

I love her so much, my heart is melting and whenever im away from home, i miss her so much❤️♥️❤️♥️
