Friday Ark (belated)




It feels like yesterday....

I am not posting a "new" photo this week as I was going through all my baby photos of Jonah . It really does feel like yesterday when I brought him home in his carry cage (which he fills up now)They get so big so quickly! I really enjoy looking at those baby photos like he was a child and miss that age!!! Join the ark here and post a pic of your loved one!

Tis a cutie, but Vic how do they breed them to be ragdolls?

Ahh i researched this one. A breeder bred her 2 different breeds of cat (i believe persian and siamese? cant remember) and when the kittens were born she noticed:

She started a cat registry in 1971, The International
Ragdoll Cat Association, and claimed that the breed differed
in 5 ways from other breeds of cats:

1) They were relatively large;

2) They are less sensitive to pain;

3) They lack skills for self preservation;

4) Their fur does not mat together; and

5) Their bodies go limp when you hold them.


I did research on the breed cause Joseph wanted a cat that looked good and had an awesome personality but I didnt want a stuck up cat. I was happy to go to a shelter and pick one up but joseph wouldnt have it.
I ended up finding an old lady who lived up the coast who had a litter from her 2 ragdolls so I checked her out and everything seemed fine, just came from this old ladys home and nothing cruel seemed evident.

I never in the future will get a companion animal unless its from a shelter, however this little guy is the love of joseph and my lives and he came to us for a reason :) xx
