Actually because of them not having an undercoat they can be considered hypoallergenic. Some people are allergic to the dander they produce while others are allergic to the protein in their saliva. If the person knows they are allergic to just the dander these cats are perfect for them, that's the case with my dad. We own two :)

I just lost my 16 year old ragdoll, to stomach cancer. She was my best friend. The smartest cat I've ever seen. I miss her so much. She was beautiful and sweet to the very end. The cancer was swift and horrible. I am so sad. Just had to write to say I was blessed with her sweet spirit for 16 years and I will always be grateful to have shared life with her.

They will follow you-EVERYWHERE.

We have our first Ragdoll and used to have Persians that passed a few years ago. Totally different cat. The Persians were sweet but very independent. This Ragdoll is incredibly playful, ridiculously cuddly, loves to sleep with my wife and I, and could replace my alarm clock as she wakes me up with purring and soft taps on the face when she's ready for breakfast.

I foster kittens for two years now and little male rag doll came with one of the litters this past month. Big blue eyes and one of the sweetest kittens I have ever met. And yes, we are keeping him. He is our third fail foster.

Owning a ragdoll myself, they're worth it! My boy is 13 years old and is very healthy today.

I had to say goodbye to a ragdoll a couple weeks ago. He gave me years of cuddles and happiness, and he seemed to start regarding my lap as a comfort zone. Every day with him was precious, and I'll miss him dearly.

Hah. Our 2-year-old ragdoll Leon is super energetic and was never happy just sitting at home. We've been going on several-kilometer harness walks with him since he was only a kitten. Even a 5-kilometer jog doesn't tire him out. He most definitely demands A LOT of exercise. Thankfully, we were of the thought of regularly going outside with our kitties but I didn't think it would be this much. Oh well, healthy for us humans as well.

The HCM issue is tough - we adopted a rag doll that was from a shelter. She was partially albino and an amazing kitty! Unfortunately, Flower passed away at age 4 due to the hardening of her heart. The good news was that she was playing with her brother up till the very end and we were right there when it happened. Doctors told us that medication would have only extended by a little time.

I am a new owner, and I don’t really know what to do with my kitty yet. But thanks to this video, I now know how to treat my babies. Thanks a lot for creating this! 😊

They are awesome pets. Had two for 16 years.

3:46 my poor ragdoll stampy, he was so beautiful I got him when I was 7, now I’m 14 and he recently passed due to this, he was only 6. Poor little guy. I miss him so much 💔

Just adopted a two year old ragdoll from a rescue centre. She is a beautiful cat with no health problems. So far I can see no down side. However the rescue centre gave us a good briefing on what to expect. Yes they do require a lot of brushing, attention etc but you get back what you give.

My 2nd oldest cat is a mix of a savannah and a ragdoll. I have 7 cats of all sorts, japanese bobtail, savannah, bengal, etc. The savannah ragdoll mix is easily my favorite. Ive had her since the day she was born. Even as a kitten she would sleep on my bed when the other kittens were sleeping with their mom. Shes extremely smart and can even open doors (we have childlock handles on the doors now). She has also imprinted on me specifically. Shes not a big fan of other people or other cats, but shes obsessed with me. She follows me around and gets super happy and purrs like crazy when she gets any attention at all. Shes like an Akita in that she bonds strongly to 1 owner over all others. She also LOVES playing hide and seek. Shes 14 years old and still going strong. Shes never had any illnesses or health problems whatsoever. Everyone who meets her assumes shes a young adult. I highly reccomend ragdoll mixes to anyone who wants a healthy long lived cat. You cant get healthier than a ragdoll mix. Ragdolls have virtually no health issues as is, and outcrossing them to another healthy breed makes them even healthier. American Bobtails and Japanese bobtails, and savannahs are fun too. They are ALL basically like dogs. They both have no concept of personal space and seek out affection from everyone who visits. My american bobtails is my most doglike cat, and my japanese bobtail is like a playful little terrier. Just a little ball of energy that one is lol. Hes curious to a fault though lol. He has absolutely no self preservation instincts compared to the rest. I have some very large pythons (burmese, reticulated, african rock, etc etc) that he is always trying to sneak a peak at. id NEVER let him get anywhere near them, Infact they are all very securelt locked up, but i find it crazy that he tries so hard to get to them..... because they would absolutely eat him if given the chance. its almost like he's trying to get eaten. Let me reiterate though, they are ALL locked up with lock and key and have no access to my cats whatsoever. I would never ever ever allow my pets to injure eachother. I absolutely love both cats and reptiles of all sorts.

I have a black half ragdoll and she is just amazing. Sweet, fluffy, soft and such a sweet and cuddly character. She loves to snuggle with me, on the couch or even in bed and indeed notices when i'm not feeling well and comes to comfort me.

We just got a ragdoll kitten that I named Vaelin, she's a blue seal point with zero fear, we're going to train her to go on walks once she turns 6 months

My ragdoll cat is about 21 years old. She decided that after my sister brought her home I was her human. She took any opportunity to bolt into my room that she could even if you tried to keep her in a bedroom with the door shut. She knew the door would eventually open and she'd bolt. I'd hear my dad call out for her and I knew that if I turned away from my desk she'd be sitting on my bed right behind me looking right at me, looking for an opportunity to jump in my lap, or trying to climb on my desk and I didn't notice her yet.

I have a lilac lynx mitted and a seal, split faced, mitted tortie Ragdolls. They ALWAYS find me and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ them! Even though their fur corkscrews into every possible materials’ fiber I own!

I've just got my Solid blue point recently. He's super playful, but also very loving after his play sessions. I'm assuming he'll get lazier as he ages. Either way, he's been such a blessing but he is very smart and will try to open my shower as I'm in it. Which in turn let's all that damn early cold morning air in 🥶😂

Pretty sure our family cat was part ragdoll. She was a black cat with shortish fur, but she had the flexibility of a ragdoll. I could drape her around my neck, and she was content to stay there, indefinitely. My current cat gets pretty antsy, no matter how I hold him.

They are lovely cats, the only con I have noticed with mine is the super fine hair shedding…floating around, weaving into your clothes, sticking to your face, your eyeballs…everything 😳 😂 Also I did have a very smart and very big boy who used to reach up and steal food off of counters and open doors lol but he was also the sweetest and was definitely one of those cats who would come up and pat people and sit with them when they were sad.♥️

I love our Ragdoll cat! Our adult Ragdoll loves to play every single day! She fetches cat toys like a dog. She brings it to us and we fling it, & she retrieves it. We have different activity toys that we rotate and set up every day. This is how much she likes to play. She loves playing in boxes too. She has a siamese sister & they are great together. She is very affectionate. She just "flops" in our arms & we tote her around all day long. The only thing we cant have in our home is any type of plant (we can have kitty grass) as she quickly destroys any plants or fresh bouquets of flowers. LOL We love her & her sister very much. If you are looking for an affectionate & fun cat I recommend a ragdoll cat. 😻 ❤️

You used my cat twice here, how lovely 🥰 great video, even though I’m a big Ragdoll lover. And on the allergies, I have found that everyone having an allergy has less to no problems when at my house or near my cats. For hours even. So I’m surprised they aren’t lower in allergens

I've seen two in my life that I got to chill with. One male and one female. They are the sweetest!

My ragdoll Felixxia is on a strict diet. So far so good, she sleeps lesser now and more active than before.

My dad was allergic to our old cat but our new one he is perfect with and do love each over when their together

Brushing my ragdoll every day has been therapeutic for me

she is talking to us like it’s half time at the super bowl

Pretty rag dolls 😍

My cat was very smart, one of the things she would do, she would take my mom hostage in a game of psychological extortion watching her from a specific place so she would feed her again, and again, no meowing needed, just a piercing stare towards her, it does not help my mom loves animals so much, if she denied tho, she would get revenge by various ways, I miss her so much, she had a deluxe life tho, 18 years of true happiness in our lives, and was so agile and energetic even until the end

Some of the stuff in this video I don’t fine to be true with my Ragdoll but two things I certainly do find to be true is he loves to eat and he is smart.

I have a Ragdoll Siamese mix and his brother is a Siamese, they were both adopted about 7 months ago so I can tell having a rough start changed their personalities a little. But Royal the Rag/siamese is very smart, follows me everywhere, his fur is quiet light and not dense so he doesn’t require much brushing for now (he just turned 1) him and his brother are pretty active they run and play a lot so thats good and bad haha, good for his health bad for house and items. He is silly, he does need almost constant attention when awake (his brother too) even when those little butts are tearing my furniture apart I love them so much.

We have a 3/4 ragdoll, shes the most affectionate pet you could imagine, shes thick as 2 short planks but has learnt that if she scratches the door she geta let in

I got my baby on Thursday and I can't get on with anything because I just want to be with her all the time ❤️❤️

I have owned 3 Ragdolls in my life. My first baby, Diva, lived to the age of 20 💕. I will only ever own Ragdolls they are the most amazing cats

They chirp a a lot , means they talk to you and show their emotions , they flop when in your arms . They don’t like kids if same sex. Very demanding cats fussy eaters. Best cats ever they are very clever

My male ragdoll was a street/stray. He survived with the instincts you need it took me two months to catch him. We have Coyotes here also that hunt actively down our streets. His claws/head are twice the size of a normal cat wouldn't be easy for a single Coyote.

Even though I’m allergic, I think that I would still adopt one. They are so cute!❤

Just saying for anyone wanting one I have 3 cats just got a ragdoll and when I mean this cat will follow your EVERYWHERE I mean it never leaves your side they are basically dogs

Apart from holding my CoCo like a baby, brushing her is the best part. I got a detangling brush for people and use that on her. She NEVER has knots. I brush her everyday!

I have own mine follows me around everywhere unless she’s a sleep. She uses me as her permanent pillow. Low maintenance on brushing and she gets along with children too

Whenever I pick up my ragdoll cat, he wraps his arms around me tight and starts licking my ears like crazy, lol.

My ragdoll is very shy and will run from strangers.

My flame point is the best cat I've ever had. Ragdolls are awesome companions.

Don't forget FLUTD. Male ragdolls are prone to bladder stones, and their urinary tract is very narrow. That can cause a blockage, which is an EMERGENCY requiring a quick surgery. Two days and your kitty is gone.

So beautiful, and they also love water, something that I can be selective on certain cat breeds

So cute😻

Vacuuming after mine two fluffy bums is something. And we gave up on lint brushes long time ago 😆

I'm bringing one home from the shelter i work at tonight. I had no idea they were this awesome. She just reminded me of the best cat i ever had that was siamese. I have a disabled French bull dog i wanted company for do you think it will be OK? The dog is very sweet boy aggressive ever.

My boy also loves to follow us everywhere. Even to the toilet while doing business. When we're in the living room, he meow very cutely to go out too... very cute and mischievous too.

The wine aunt at 0:56 is brushing her teeth with cat piss.

Only ragdoll cat i know - that little puff

My foster mom bought me Ragdolls like the ones with red hair and I was terrified. I like these Ragdolls though

So, what I learned from this video is that Ragdolls are cats... They sound just like every other cat and cat breed I've ever had. Enlightening. 🙀

My ragdoll cat is terrified of meeting new people but that’s because he’s just a kitten, plus he’s an inside cat

"Ragdolls have low energy levels." I don't think my Ragdoll got the memo lol

My bf and I are owning two ragdolls (Fluff, one of them, is in my pfp ♥). Never want any other cat, they are amazing ;w;

If you have a younger brother when you leave for more then 8 hours do ragdolls not get bored?

That's true I was a dog person first time seeing a ragdoll cat made me feel a cat person,but dog is the best thing to irritate and true other cats are like hey I'm the king or the queen respect me and ragdolls are like sssoooo cutee

I have a ragdoll-Siamese mix, and he loves to help clean

I have a Ragdoll called Mushu

“Ragdolls aren’t scared of meeting new people” Me: looking at my ragdoll cat who whenever someone new comes immediately runs under the nearest bed or couch, because he is scared Yeah sure…….. (I know that it’s his personality but I just found it funny😂)

I’ve had a lot of cats from Siamese to just a no breed cat. But I purchased a rag doll cat from a breeder. Brought the cat home around 3 months old thought first to give it space settle in but this cat was nothing laid back or easy going it would attack you bite you seriously attack door handles didn’t even have to move I did a lot of research before purchasing one and wanted something really laid back for my daughter it would bite scratch attack my daughter just walking across the floor she was terrified of this cat or would attack you as you slept bring blood. I had never seen a cat so mean. I have always been you get a pet it’s your forever pet. I took car to vet they have to wear gloves tried putting it in medication seemed to make it worse. but I would not have anything hurting my daughter so my experience with a rag doll was totally different than this laid back following loving cat. I went to the local shelter and got my little girl a kitten they are best of friends. So please I did my research before I got the cat from a reputable breeder I did take the cat back and she excepted and gave my money back. So just be careful I’m sure there’s some loving breeds but my experience was a total nightmare.

Its a dream of mine to get 2 ragdoll kittens

mine wants food all the time like 24/7 and follows my mum around,also it bullies my other cat and it steals food from draws.

All cats are good pets

Those eyes wow

Why should brushing your cat everyday be a burden? If doing yours is not. Unless you're freaking lazy. Cause its calming to owners too

I LOVE RAG DOLLS

My ragdoll cat hates anyone and everyone it took me a year to get her to like be she likes me on her own time

Sending our support from the caldera town of Irosin, Sorsogon.

I want a Ragdoll

I picked this cat from the street a few months ago, I think he's a ragdoll possibly

Mine plays fetch nj; he came to me one day growling (he was so sweet even hearing the growl shocked me, with a ball in his mouth, so I just took a shot, and he brought it back; so I gave him a treat. So not only do we get to play a game I’ve never had a kitty play, we bond, and more importantly because he was Pavlovian trained to come when I say “fetch,” inshallah we won’t ever have a fire, but if we do I know I can yell “fetch,” and I’ll have my Wills immediately. Pavlovian train your cats with “treat” or whatever you wanna give them but do it so your babies will come too. PLEASE!

My two dream cats have the heart thingy 😢

Con #7: Humans are allergic to a protein in their saliva Me, a cat lover: I DON'T HAVE SUCH WEAKNESSES

Yeah my ragdoll has bad anxiety so she hates our other cat and people apart from me and my brother and she loves to be outside!

My wife is allergic to cats. When my son wanted a cat 18 years ago, we got a Ragdoll due to them being known to cause less problems for people that are allergic. My wife has never had a problem with anyone that has had a Ragdoll. Normal cats however, cause her to sneeze, eyes to swell, and sometimes have difficulty breathing. I believe there must be something to them being known as allergy friendly.

A dog can be a good company for a ragdoll?

I have HCM, I guess this breed was made for me!

Wonderful, gentle giants..but..they do have an undercoat😌

even though Raggies prefer the ground, can they climb trees like most cats?

my mother told me of this person who has been feeding all their cats human food for their whole life, and some of their cats lived up to 40 years..

I feed my ragdoll a meatloaf because hes meowing so loud

Don't get a ragdoll. He'll steal your heart.

I have two RAGDOLLS, ages 10 and 11. They are great cats but one mats terribly. Here in SW Va. it is very hard to find a groomer. Neither goes outside, ever. But both love the screened in porch. It can never be too hot for one of them. They are smart and stubborn but I have had a cat my entire 75 years and will never get another breed. I will replace these two when they go. They are SO much company. Mine hate company and hide under the bed if they hear strangers. Occasionally one will appear for a walk through if a stranger is lucky!

Thank you so much.

Negative: they leave hair on everything. Positive: everything else.

She loves rag doll

Ragdoll PROS: handsome, huggable, etc. CONS: Dingle-berries, biters, clumbsy, fat, lol

So I just god a ragdoll AND IT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER

My ragdoll is afraid of his own shadow . He was iver a year ild when i got him. He hates to be held i think he was abused before we got him

I didn't know cats could play professional sport, or go to jail!? Especially ragdolls!

They follow you everywhere and trip you up 😅

I all ready have one

My boy is easily the nosiest creature I've ever encountered.. He needs to see and fully inspect everything like its his job.. Couldn't imagine life without this breed

My cat might have some rag doll blood in her since she has some of the looks of a ragdoll but not the color she’s really intelligent tho

They are so smart, they can do a tax return for you.

Sounds like any other cat, my normal cat acts like that and she is useful in catching mouses if some decide to come in. They are lovely looking cats but idk if they are worth

They are great!
