Here are some links to Gabe's story and a few where I describe my mom's Cranker. Not to discourage you from loving the Ragdoll breed, but just to let you know that for some reason, they are not all as lovable as they claim.

SAS to the Rescue

And some fun ones with some great pics of Gabe.

Gabe Overweight?

Gabe can't take the heat

Gabe the DUDE!

Edwina's plea

The Paparazzi

I guess the pics and story of the Cranker will show up in some of these threads because when I did a search, it came up with a lot of the same threads as here. And there are more threads on Gabe, but most of them are just too sad. RIP sweetie, we miss you soooo much!

And don't get me wrong, I love the Ragdoll breed. They are beautiful and for the most part, loving, lappy cats. Just wanted to show you some great stories about Gabe and to let you know that sometimes something goes wrong somewhere and they aren't all as lovable as they claim. And also don't let anyone tell you they don't shed. My mom's house is practically white from all the Cranker hair all over it. But that could just be another way in which he is a morphidite. But we love him dearly even though he is a Cranker.
