Oh, my! Just what we don’t need right now is another cat.
We are still trying to get over the loss of Doodles the cat.
However, our son met two Ragdoll kitties while in Boston with his friends over the weekend. They took to him immediately and after he texted me, I told him that it’s better to play with them right now than get two for himself.
To sum up some information I discovered:
*gentle and affectionate
*silky medium length coats
*small soft voices
*lap cats, enjoy being cradled like babies, and carried around
*medium to large
*life span of 15+ years
*enjoy going for walks on a leash
*get along with dogs
I’d love two for myself!

We’ve always gotten all but one cat from the shelter and lost all of them. Our last baby passed away on November 12th. As much as we all love cats, we aren’t ready to get any yet.
I hope your kitty adjusted after two months! It was probably so scared.

They are my favorite cats. My grandmother had two when I was little and they were the sweetest cats ever. Both wound up with cancer I don't recall how ok they were. I want one but with my boyfriend, niece and nephew being allergic I can't have cats

I never heard about them until yesterday. From what I’ve read, they could get cardiomyopathy, but breeders have been working on getting rid of that. Doodles had that and cancer.
I understand why you can’t have cats,
I’m not sure if we’re ready for any either, but when and if we are, I would love this kind.

You will eventually succumb to their charms.

Oh no I never realized that you had lost Doodles after all.
Those are very lovely cats indeed.
We have lost our dog too Sultan and we are not wanting another dog just yet either I know and understand the feeling.

@lovinangelsinstead21 That’s basically what happened to Doodles. I’m still grieving and will do so for a long, long time. It all happened so quickly.
My condolences to you!

So that's the ragdoll cat. I never heard of that but I agree that it's cute and looking cuddly.

@Alexandoy They are beautiful cats. We had a Siamese and a Persian with one from the pound at the same time.
Our Persian’s grandfather was Cat of the Year at the time.

Beautiful cats, but I would imagine my allergies would go nuts when they shed their fur. Or maybe my allergies would go nuts all year long with them around. Who knows, but I wouldn't mind having one. Did I mention they're beautiful?

@DianneN I have a feeling it's only a matter of time.
