Hi Lynn D. Yes my daughter has a ragdoll. She researched the breed quite a bit before she bought him. She talked to the vet about ragdolls and read about them in Cat Fancy. Well, unfortunately, her kitty is not quite as friendly as yours are. See my post under "Cat Breeds..Does Anyone Have A Ragdoll?" from July 2nd. I am glad that yours are more true to the norm for this breed. Her little guy is not a bad kitty, just not very friendly except to her and her husband. He has a "handle with care" sticker on his chart at the vet's too. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif I think he is just fearful (although he loves to be around people). He just doesn't want anyone to hold him or pay any attention to him except my daughter. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif But he is absolutely GORGEOUS just the same! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
