    Im so happy for you, tomorrow i am travelling across scotland to pick up my little girl who is a 14wk ragdoll called "Tora". Oh a got a few tips, #1. Dont punish him, if he is doing somthing wrong, pick him up and take him to another position and instantly distract him with somthing he likes ie feathers.#2.Slow blink is a good way to affirm actions ie. When he does the " 100 yard stare " in the litter tray, give him a slow blink, its like saying "well done darling " or a slow blink when he is looking at you like saying "i love you" #3. Tail singing... when he is drifting off to sleep gentaly take the tip of his tail and sing a song to the mic. He will fall asleep but thinking of you. Best of luck, hope everything goes good with him, but also with your studys.

      There’s technically no such thing as a hypoallergenic cat as what people are allergic to is a protein that all cats no matter the breed produce in their saliva called FEL1D and because cats lick themselves to groom the protein ends up in their fur and dander and that is what people are allergic to. There are waterless dander sprays that neutralize the protein that you can brush on the hair but there is also food from Purina that uses special chicken eggs that also neutralize the protein in the saliva. Every cat produces a different amount of the protein so while you might be allergic to some cats you might not be allergic to others because they may produce less of the protein. With all that said there are certain breeds known to produce low levels of the protein like Siberian cats however every cat does produce the allergen so technically no cat is “hypoallergenic”

    Vaako is very cute. Fisher toys are fun. I understand the basic idea of adopt, don’t shop, but I think some people too rigid in this idea. I’ve gotten some cats I’ve owned from breeders, I’ve gotten some cats from pet store/shelter connected adoption programs, I’ve gotten some from people who just had a cat that had babies

    Its the protein in a cats saliva that causes allergic reaction…so there is no hypoallergenic cats…only ways for the owner to have less symptom, such as taking allergy medicine, or there is a cat food you can buy that is supposed to reduce allergies after it has eaten it for several werks.

      There are no "hypoallergenic" animals...however there are animals that produce small amounts of the protein that can cause allergies. I myself suffer with allergies & asthma and can only be around animals that are considered "hypoallergenic". While married I got (2) miniature schnauzers (hypoallergenic) a year after my daughter was born and never had one issue with allergies and did not have to take any allergy medicine.
