5 Reasons to Get a Ragdoll Cat

Ragdoll cats are the perfect pet for many households! From their soft, cuddly fur to their calm, laid-back personalities, these cats are sure to bring a smile to your face. Here are five reasons why you should consider getting a Ragdoll kitten:

1. Easy going temperament

   Ragdoll kittens are known for their docile and gentle personalities. They love to be around people and enjoy being petted and snuggled. They’re also known for their willingness to be carried around and for their gentle purring. Some may not even bother to move from the spot they are laying when you run the vacuum near them.

2. Great with kids and dogs

   Ragdolls are very family friendly. They are patient with young children, and they get along great with most dogs as well. You may find that your Ragdoll is not only a great companion for you, but for other pets and family members, alternately playing and cuddling with the family.

3. They Make Loyal Companions

   Ragdoll kittens are very loyal to their owners and will bond closely with them. They’re also very social animals, so they love spending time with their family. Ragdolls love to hang out with their people. They will follow you around the house. If you don’t want company in the bathroom, be sure to close the door!

4. Plush bunny coat

   Ragdoll cats are famous for their long, soft fur that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Ragdoll fur is typically longer, fine and very soft, somewhat like bunny fur. Some varieties will have a somewhat shorter, soft coat, which may require less brushing.

5. Floppy

   Ragdolls will sort of melt into you. Many Ragdolls will let you hold them lying on their backs, with their tummy up, somewhat like a football. Ragdolls love to be held and once relaxed will simply… flop, like a ragdoll. This is where the name of the breed comes from!

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and low-maintenance pet, a Ragdoll kitten is the perfect choice. With their beautiful fur, intelligence, and long life expectancy, these cats are sure to become a treasured part of your family.
