Ragdoll cats are calm, loving, and gentle. They enjoy having their tummies rubbed and like to sleep next to you. These cats are smart and responsive. They love being around people and other pets because they are very social. Many can learn tricks like fetching, just like dogs! Young Ragdolls often have a playful "zoomy" hour in the evening, which can be very entertaining.

Not all Ragdoll cats are calm and friendly. If they grow up in an outdoor pen or have little human interaction, they may become "skittish & timid" The first 13 weeks of a kitten's life are crucial for their future behaviour. We help our kittens become loving. With early socialisation, lots of play and human interaction. But their new 'families' must continue to nurture this trait.

Yes! Ragdolls have no fear factor. So they are more at risk of being 'run over' (which is often the case), or stolen (which is on the increase). They will happily adapt any stranger that approaches them, so that they can be easily 'kit-napped' They can be picked on by outdoor cats, as they're not aggressive. Supervised leash walking within the garden is ok, but a catio is awesome!

Yes, unless you have another suitable animal as a companion. They would become very lonely without company, which may lead to psychological problems/undesirable habits; this is when folk reserve two siblings from us. Please bear in mind if you work long hours (outside of the home), we wouldn't feel comfortable with 'selling you' one of our kittens. Our kittens are raised in our home with lots of human interaction and we 'DON'T' leave our kittens/cats alone for long periods of time

Yes, usually very well if introduced gradually and appropriately. They often become 'Best of Friends' as Ragdolls genuinely appreciates having a 'playmate' whether that's another cat or a friendly, respectful dog.

Yes, 1-3 times a week is ideal. They shed in Spring and Autumn, so a thorough brush is required during these times.

They make a 'chirrup' sound when communicating.

Around 15 years, please note when you buy a Ragdoll kitten, you could have this beautiful cat for upto 20 years!

Yes, all pedigree Ragdolls have blue eyes. Shade of blue can vary from light, icy blue or pale 'more so on your Lilac Ragdolls' to a deep sapphire - royal blue. Key factors is genetics.

Yes, we never show our Ragdoll kittens without their mama being present! All our gorgeous cats can be seen when visiting. Kittens are raised and stay with their mama until they are ready to leave us. Kittens that are separated from their mama too early can develop behaviour problems. Its crucial that Ragdoll Kittens stay with there mama longer.

Yes, all our 'Breeding Queens' are genetically tested, check out page 'Our Ragdoll Cats' where you can find what our Queens are tested for!

Yes, I recommend two 'per cat' although they may only use the one. Always better to have an extra one to avoid any accidents.

Yes, Ragdolls are excellent family pets and are widely considered excellent with children, due to their gentle, patient and affectionate nature. Supervision is still needed even.

Yes, our Ragdolls are raised in our home with us. They are born in our bedroom and move downstairs at '4 weeks old' to be introduced to everday household noises such as the vacuum cleaner, television, of our family and children playing (and shouting, we have children with autism & adhd). We absolutely pride ourselves in rearing robust kittens, early socialisation is important.

While many say male Ragdolls are generally more overtly affectionate, clingy 'classic lap cats' females are just as loving but often show it on their own terms, being slightly more independent; however, individual personality, upbringing, and spay/neuter matter more than gender for predicting a specific Ragdolls cuddliness.  All our kittens are equally as affectionate.
