    As someone who's had five Ragdolls over the course of their life, I can confirm the breed has one of the most friendly, gentle dispositions in a cat you could ever ask for. One of our previous ones, Shadow, would jump up next to anyone as soon as they sat on the couch, demanding to be petted but content to flop down on his side right next to you if you only gave him what he thought was the minimal amount

      Aw, that's great! My first two Raggies are/were so much like that. Gentle and sweet. Our first one was also a major lap cat, cuddling on any lap she could find. Our 3 year old Betty is affectionate, but also a total crazy, high energy spaz who refuses to be picked up or held for any length of time. 😆

      I have a ragdoll/snowshoe cat that's the most neurotic thing. She acts like she wants, so badly, to be a cuddly lap cat but her anxiety won't let her. She'll see you coming and rub up on the wall or furniture while looking cute and purring up a storm but she'll only let you pet her for about five seconds then she scampers away and restarts the process. She'll purr loudly while actively squirming out of your grasp. She's the fluffiest, softest, most frustrating little thing.

Yeah it's technically a sign of something negative, but the phenomenon itself is very wholesome because it reminds one that we are more similar to other animals than many people realize.

For example, putting a catnip smell on the scratching post and on the contrary a disgusting smell on the carpet/sofa to avoid scratching? Disgusting is normally the smell of citrus for cats, maybe a little bit of orange essential oil on the surface you want to save would help

He unfortunately died fairly early in my life, but he was bigger than me for the entirety of his lifetime. I _still_ initially see every cat as small - even one of my current maine coone mixes - because my first encounter with one was such a ridiculously large one.

    Just a small warning for the people who've watched this, and are now considering a ragdoll as a pet. They are a wonderful breed of cat, but they are a lot more commitment than most other breeds. They can't be allowed outside unsupervised (too friendly, making them an easy target for predators and thieves), meaning they rely on their owners almost exclusively for stimulation - so you need to provide a rich indoor environment for them, and play with them regularly. They also really bond to their owners, following them around the house and wanting to be involved in everything they do, but that means they often get pretty bad separation anxiety, so they can't be left alone for massive periods of time. Certainly if you're someone who isn't home much, they aren't the cat for you.
    I have two, and I love them to bits. But I work from home, and am a bit of a homebody generally. In terms of commitment, they're really more like dogs than cats - very dependent on their owners, which can be nice, but does mean they demand far more of your time and attention than most cats.

      I used to have a couple of Ragamuffin cats. They came from the Ragdoll, and are very similar in size, sweet disposition, and being indoor cats. I used to say letting them outside at all "voids their warranty" lol. Best cats ever. Follow you around like dogs. They want to be "where the action is." Even if that's just watching you wash dishes. Mine would spontaneously run together from one room to another now and then, but, overall they were great. They'd greet total strangers, and do the "ragamuffin flop" for belly rubs. It's not only their sweet nature that makes them vulnerable when outside, but they're also soft pawed. So, even with their claws (no one should ever declaw any cat) they can't defend themselves like other cats. They can also be a bit dopey at times. Mine did manage to catch a mouse in my basement once, so they are definitely still all cat. Overall though, like you mentioned, they're super affectionate and do crave more attention than the average cat.

      If your cat is eliminating outside of the box, check for health issues first. Often bladder stones/crystals/infection causes this behavior. Next, check the litter itself. Is it clean? Does your cat dislike the type of litter? (Some cats dislike clay) Is the litterbox too small? Does the litterbox have a lid? (Many cats dislike this!) Are there enough litterboxes? (1 per cat +1) Is the litterbox high off the ground? (Having to step up can cause older cats with joint problems pain, and they won't want to step in it). Also consider litterbox locations, make sure they're spread out and in comfortable/calm/quiet areas. Eliminate stress in the environment and put litterboxes near common trouble spots where your cat goes outside. For cleaning cat urine, get an enzyme-based cleaner and blot, do not rub. Eliminate odor to help discourage urination in that area again.@@Evanz111

      Neutered and vets say there's nothing wrong with him but he smashes ornaments and a flat screen TV. He digs holes in carpets. He will savage you during bathing or brushing,. He will escape 2 people holding him during bathing and climb up your body and face or even wall and smash everything in the bathroom like a Tasmanian devil. And he doesn't meow like a normal cat he shrieks at the top of his lungs 24/7 over and over, unless he's asleep for no reason. We've tried everything with him, we got him a female ragdoll a few years ago who he would fight all the time so we had to get rid of her we even let him outside for some peace but you can still hear him through the brick walls, hes so loud and screeches and houls non stop and savages any other cats he comes across, one cat he caught and had pinned down in the middle of road. He is evil to the core and making our lives a mystery, he's damaging our relationship.

    I love that he wasn't mad at you afterwards. Half of them usually either look like they want to plot your demise or are absolutely heartbroken that you would put them through such torture as a bath (the ones who give the adorably pathetic mewls the whole time and still don't want to be your friend afterwards).

      He was definitely swishing his tail in annoyance, but he was too good natured to turn down a hug lol

    The value sized cat! Wow... And he was a little peeved at the end, despite his otherwise affectionate behavior- his eyes were showing irritation as was the twitching tail, but he is obviously a forgiving fellow. Someday, when I can have a cat again, I'd love to have one like this in my life. What a beauty.

      I noticed that too. Any other cat would have scratched her face off, but he was like "I feel awful, I need a hug!"

    What a gorgeous cuddly cloud of a cat! Oslo has quite stolen my heart. I'm so glad he got so many pets.

    He looks like such a sweetheart. I love ragdolls. I will never forget my former roommates ragdoll, Thomas. He was this grumpy old cat who didn't really like socializing with anyone but his owner, but if you worked for his affection, he would reward you by becoming close and socializing with you. It felt like such an achievement when he and I finally became friends.

    I just realized I had a part ragdoll. She was the sweetest cat ever and she was really big (not as big as Oslo here though), so many people thought she was male because of how massive she was compared to the average cat. She loved to greet everybody in the morning and just hang out with whoever was available for cuddles. I miss her so much, it's been 3 years since she sadly passed away and I still think of her every day.

    I have a half ragdoll, half "something that jumped over the back fence". She's a tortoiseshell so she doesn't resemble a ragdoll very much, but has the softest fur of any cat I've felt, and is super friendly, always wanting to be near me at all hours of the day.
