Owning a Ragdoll cat

Having a rag doll cat should be a very satisfying partnership for both sides, yours because the rag doll is cute, fluffy and likes to cuddle, and theirs because it looks cute, fluffy and hugs you.

So, having a ragdoll cat is inviting a wonderfully affectionate friend into your home, wonderful, but clingy. They are not an independent cat, they do not roam for days at a time, they do not go away; only to return to dinner, instead, they stay close to their loved ones, rarely leaving your side, and insist on as much attention as you decide to give them.

You do not have a ragdoll cat, it is part of your family, it is a close friend (furry), who refuses to be seen as property, the ragdoll cat does not promote property, but love and affection.

They tend to eat a lot, due to their rather large size, so they are almost always hungry, anything you eat is fair game for a rag doll, after all why not share?
