I'm always surprised to hear there are those that don't like talkative cats! I would never consider that a "con" and love Siamese, Ragdoll and any other cats that talk as it's a great way to engage and bond with them. A real "pro" from my perspective!

A ragdoll is definitely for me. I’m a person who gets stressed out often and I never had any real friend to comfort me. I’ve always wanted a dog bc they’re really playful and cuddly, but I also like cats. I can imagine coming home from a bad, tiring day to an adorable cloud cat waiting for me and ready to cuddle and play with me. Always wanted that type of friend. I’m planning to adopt one in the next 2 or 3 years, when I move out from my recent home

Our three year old ragdoll is our first ( longhair )self-grooming cat. Not a single knot. Very well mannered. Too friendly to strangers. Can't fight for territory, demands too much cuddle time.

I never thought I could have a cat as they terrified me. Then, after years of pleading from my daughter we got a ragdoll. He is amazing - clean, affectionate, calm, cuddly.and clingy (which I suddenly find I like! Memphis is truly part of the family.

My ragdoll, Leo, is actually quite timid and doesn't like strangers. He is fine with other animals though! He also likes to be held on his own terms lol.

I DONT SEE ANY CONS I WANT THE CAR NOW

I never want to be without ragdolls. I love my two so much. They are the sweetest Boys ❤

I rescued an abandoned ragdoll in 2008 and absolutely love her! She is a great companion for me, a widow and empty nester.

The love of my life, my 18 yr old cat, crossed over the rainbow bridge about 6 months ago (peacefully, on my lap, under the care of a mobile vet). While not yet ready to be adopted again, I would be very open to having a ragdoll adopt me! Your cats are beautiful, you do a great job on your videos, and I love your calming voice!

We had the poop problem with our Ragdoll, Julio. The first few months with him, he would always get poop stuck on his fur and he made the cleaning process very annoying and frustrating for us, since he wouldn't stay still. Luckily, this continued for only 2 months, and then it stopped happening. A possible reason could be that he has now grown up. He's almost a year old now and he was 3-5 months when we had the poop problem.

I find it cute how the cats kept licking each other and I was mainly inspired to get a ragdoll cat because I just absolutely love their lushious fur. I mean how can you say no to that under any circumstances ❤

I adopted two 7-year-old female ragdoll cats four months ago. They’re absolutely adorable. They are very chill, and I’ve fallen completely in love with them. They indeed follow me around the house. They love to cuddle, and they do indeed wait for me at the door if I’m gone. I had never heard of this breed before. I already can’t imagine my life without them.

I lost my beautiful Ragdoll 3 weeks ago. I was lucky to be his favorite human for 14 years. I adopted him in 2010 from a rescue group and thought he was 2 years old then until I found his paperwork around six months ago and discovered he was actually 4. Regardless, I was unready for his demise. Macchiato whom we called Mocha was allergic to flea bites. He would get crusty, itchy skin so I always kept flea treatment for him. I took in a stray during covid and another from my neighbors who died in a motorcycle accident. I still have too many cats and the chance of more fleas. You might say it was his time to go but Mocha was very healthy for his age. I thought he was just less active due to aging but he soon stopped eating. After taking him to the vet and getting blood work done I learned he had feline bartonellosis. The bartonella henselea bacteria infects cats through flea dirt. I had misplaced Mochas last dose of flea treatment thus he went for about a week before my order came. I combed him with a flea comb and sometimes found 1 or 2 fleas. From what I've read feral cats and outdoor cats who have flea infestations normally get this condition. Mocha lived only 3 days after he started treatment with antibiotics. My heart is broken and I have such guilt that my wonderful kitty died from a damn flea. Cats can harbor this bacteria, be asymptomatic and never get ill. Bartonella henselea is the cause of human infections called "cat scratch fever" that I've heard older people talk about many years ago.
While some may say he was old and it was his time to go he was not suppose to die this way! I was lucky to have him but he still had some good years left if mommy hadn't failed him. I was so blessed to have him for 14 years but feel so much guilt that I killed my cat. Let this be a warning to all who read this. I never knew a flea could kill my cat. He was so very special. He never had any bad behaviors and virtually never meowed or made any sound unless something was wrong. He would just sit on the coffee table or sometimes the floor and stare at me with those beautiful piercing blue eyes as though he was telepathic and thought I could read his mind. Rest in peace my sweet Mocha!! I will always have your paw prints on my heart!

We had a flame point ragdoll and he was the best cat in the world. He was sweet, affectionate, loving to other cats. He's been gone for 8 years and we miss him everyday. He was one of a kind.

I rescued my cat from the streets and didn't know she was this breed until now and I love this video because it's teaching me so much about her. I love my Ragdoll and she is the sweetest cat on the planet 😊

I’ve had my blue bicolor ragdoll kitty named Adeline since 2014. I’m glad to admit that I’m definitely her most favorite human. She always does school homework with me and sits on online lessons. Sometimes I wander if she could pass an exam for me lol😂

My ragdoll only follows me around half the time, but he does demand cuddles at the wierdest times.

Trim the leg fur to help with the poop getting stuck.

I use a Furminator brush and my boy loves it. It keeps the fur down.

It’s good to know about that gene! We adopted an owner surrender black ragdoll cat a few months ago. He was overweight, panting and generally just really scared/traumatized. I put him on a raw food diet and he’s been getting lots of exercise playing with his new brother. He stopped panting altogether and lost the excess weight pretty fast. Now he loves sleeping belly up all the time. Still doesn’t like being held too much and feels trapped quickly. I just hope that giving him the best raw food I can find will prevent any genetic issues from developing further.
