Ragdolls are the dogs of the cat world. They need so much attention and love and never leave you alone. Great for those of us who always wanted a dog but could not get one.
Great for me being a dog lover & now deciding for the first time in my life to get a cat. 😊

@@marjorie5677 Cool! 👍
@@candacedawn357 Did you get a Ragdoll cat?.
My cat’s a ragdoll and he hates us xzd
After 15 years of being a Ragdoll owner, this is the most accurate and real information video I've seen. Especially regarding their vocalisation! People need to know Ragdolls are just as psycho as other kitties!
We live in USA. Got our Ragdoll about six months ago. She is just a big fluffy bundle of love. She is different from your cat in a few ways. She is very quiet, Meows occasionally, is very independent & doesn’t really like to be picked up, although she is the ultimate lap cat. Sweetest kitty ever.
@@franlindstrom6274 what age was your rag doll when you got her?
Our rag doll had the "cling-on" problem when we first got her as a young adult. Our vet told us to let her lap up a half teaspoon of butter twice per week and we have not had that issue since. She loves her butter, and a small amount of it works wonders and is totally safe. Better than buying a gel at the pet shop which is very expensive.
Interesting! that's great to know 😊 Thankfully we have only experienced it a handful of times as he wasn't drinking enough but getting a water fountain really helped with that. x
You could also use a lactose-free one! Better for their digestive system
Ive just got a little rag doll.. She is 8 wks.
What is the "cling on " problem ?
@Tassie - it's when the cat poops and some of the poop is stuck on cat's fur. It's problematic especially when the cat has diarrhea (the bottom part ;) of the cat can be covered with it), but it may happen in every long-haired breed. You just need to deal with it but there are some ways of making it less troublesome - you can hear about them in this video.
Recently I'm so obsessed with cat videos especially ragdoll and now seeing her video I feel like I wanna adopt a ragdoll kitten right away 😢❤
I have six month old ragdoll. When we first brought him home he was very scared but after giving him space for a few days he got very close to us and now he follow us everywhere around the house 😊
I was very lucky, I always get cats from rescue centres and I found my ragdoll in one of those!
Wow, crazy lucky! That's unheard of really, most of the time people try to sell them and make money instead. Lucky baby to have found you!
Yea
Me too!! And they didn’t even sell her as a rag doll, it said she was a long haired calico but nope.. full on rag doll
@@AJanae.
They knew mine was a ragdoll but the charity has a set price for all cats no matter what breed so she cost a total of £80!
I wish I'm that lucky
I was blessed to find a rag doll kitten as a rescue around Christmas. I had never heard of the breed, i just knew he was so fluffy with the cutest face and ocean blue eyes. So I’m here learning. Thank you for all the information.
I found my rag doll off of a rescue site as well. The owner prior to me had rescued her from a bad breeder. The prior owner was no longer able to care for the cat due to medical reasons and I adopted her. We’ve had her for about 7 months and the cat absolutely loves my daughter.
That goes to show that there can be a happy ending if the breeder was bad.
@candacedawn357 Exactly! A good breeder helps but a bad breeder doesn't ruin a cat either. For example, I got my cats from the streets as kittens and they turned out amazing. Its all about how you treat them once you get them.
I volunteer at a shelter in the USA. I have a cat who is a mix breed kitty and I see some pure breed cats there. I'm ve had a Himi and two Persians and two Maine Coons. They are all sweet cats that I'm ve really enjoyed. You did say hypertrophic cardiomyopathy right. My Himi had knee caps that dislocated and answer murmur. He died because of a bladder conditions that male cats get. All of my kitties have been a joy to me and even helped me through my own heart issues. My Himi actually saved my life. My heart rate was 30 beats per minute and he jumped on my chest at night. This was documented by a monitor I wore for 24hours.
Laura that’s amazing!! Animals are just awesome they really are! Good luck with your health issues xx💕
What a blessing he's been in your life 🐱💛
Kay, now I can't stop watching your videos. Especially because I am looking out for your cute cat in every single video. Now, I want to adopt a little ragdoll kitty 😍
🥰 aww thank you so much, that means so much to me! Hehe cutie isn’t he! The perfect addition to any family 🐱🤍🥰
I'm really glad you said adopt, there are so many kitties who need homes because of breeders :( you can definitely find ragdolls and ragdoll mixes in shelters if you look hard enough! That's where I found both of mine 😊
You are one of the most genuine, lovely and kind people on youtube. Your videos about Echo have helped me immensely as I'm currently looking for a ragdoll from a registered breeder. I live alone and I'm looking for a companion cat that will also soothe anxiety. Your videos have reiterated that ragdolls are definitely the right breed for this! Echo is so soppy and adorable!
We added a blue mitted Ragdoll to our home on Sunday. He is 4 months’ old and he is such a lover boy. We have a Scottish Fold who is 16 months’ old. They are getting along very well. The Fold is not a lover boy but they play together nicely. They even slept together after a couple days. The Ragdoll loves to be held where the Fold doesn’t. I think Ragdoll is helping the Fold become more social. Love your kitties.
I’m so happy this was such a great time of life for you, animals bring so much joy, don’t they? Enjoy him so much! 💙🐾
My boy is a stray rescue, took me a few weeks of feeding him outside to make friends with him. He had a big abscess and needed treatment.He's a happy boy now and quite the personality.
I can relate to almost every points with my 5 months old ragdoll :D she is very vocal when it's her meal time, or in front of treats. We feed her raw food too, and freeze dried for treats. she weights 2,5 kg, very sociable and loves follow around every family members. It's been a very wonderful experience to live with a ragdoll
Our rag doll, Timbre, was a real character. He was a bluepoint with gorgeous blue eyes. He would trill at birds on our backyard. He taught his trill to his ‘sister’ Coda, domestic longhair. Thx for sharing as this brings back wonderful memories. 🐈
Timbre had a happy life and you will see him once again in a far future :))
My fur baby is 6 months now & im about to get my 2nd also from the same breeder in a few weeks, I really can’t wait. Ragdolls are the most loving, precious kitties 🐱 Thanks for sharing
The way he rolled over right as you were wrapping up. Definitely an angel this one.
Yes she had been used just for breeding and was left dying of cat flu in a carrier bag alongside a pedigree Persian! I wasn't even looking for another cat for myself but went with my parents to choose one for them. I was shown this cat and she wouldn't leave me and I instantly fell in love with her. Once she was fully recovered she moved in with me and my other rescue cats and she is spoilt rotten! She follows me everywhere talking away just like you mention in your video, the only difference really to her behaviour from echo is she does love to be outside always under my watchful eye! Love your videos! X
Great video, very informative. I have had cats over the years but I just got my blue point ragdoll 3 weeks ago. He is soooo loving and has lots of energy. Very vocal. We all love him. Echo looks stunning. Hello from Scotland. Tx
Best video I’ve seen and the most accurate! Great job! Echo is stunning! 😍
I love Echo video's. You know so much and Echo is so adorable. I'm not thinking of getting a Ragdoll at all, but I do enjoy hearing and learning about them very much :) Keep on sharing the Echo stories! :)
Aww thanks Maike! I'm so happy you're enjoying the videos i'm making about him 🥰
Our raggie is super sweet and very affectionate with the family. He does not like to be picked up which makes me a little sad. But we respect this and don't force him. He follows us around and always wants to be near.
Thank you so so much for posting this video! Its been one of the most insightful videos on getting research for this breed!
This is so useful! We are looking at getting a Ragdoll kitten but we didn't really know where to get one. The first point really helps, thank you xx
LOVED THIS VIDEO THOUGH! Love any video about echo and ragdoll cats 🐈 ♥
So happy you did! 🥰🙌🏼
Echo is so gorgeous! I got my Ragdoll boy Milo 3 weeks ago and I’m absolutely in love 🥰 My resident cat Theo is still getting used to him (he’s 2.5 years old and part Persian) so it will be interesting to see how Echo gets on with a new kitten if you decide to get another one? I can practically see Theo roll his eyes at Milo sometimes!
Also I’m so pleased with Luna & Me as well. Both of my cats are now on it (as you can feed it to kittens too) and honestly they’re both thriving so would definitely recommend it as well x
Good for you for feeding raw! What a lucky cat Echo is. I manage several apartment complexes and it's so sad how many people leave their cats when they move. The poor cats will sit outside the apartment door for months after their owner moves, waiting to be let in. I do my best to rehome them but it's hard.
??? That is horrifying. 😰
Ohhhh
It's just maddening,How many I've witnessed this to. It's like people they are living breathing animals not a toy or fad..not some gadget you buy on a whim and toss aside. 😢😡
I love ragdolls , they’re my fav cat breed, but my family is more of a dog person , and I’m 15, so I can get a cat only once I have my own apartment, which is probably once I turn twenty three , after college 😭😭
I have a ragdoll/norweigain mix, but she basically looks like a ragdoll but without the blue eyes. I adopted her froma rehoming situation when she was five and have no regrets 🥰 She is pretty much like this description of yours. If I ever get any in the future I really intend on getting a pair of siblings to keep each other conpany 😊 It breaks my heart whenever my little darling kitty is upset when I'm away 😥
I only clicked on the video because of the lovely background but I'm glad I did. The host is adorable and the cat is cute. I even let the ads play and I'll like the video. Great job and God bless.
Hello. I have just my little 3 month ragdoll boy, Galafray for my 59 birthday today, although I have been with him for 3 weeks. He is wonderful. And what a personality he has 😆 He is such a sweet boy. Sending you both Ragdoll hugs Jane & Galafray in New Zealand.
My rescue cat Kali is obsessed with Echo😻! She loves watching him, and it’s just so adorable☺️.
My kitty is named Kali as well!
Hes beautiful! We get the cling on thing, our girl gets them, we call them raggie daggies lol and yep, a wee snip around the area helps, she gets very embarrassed and there's nothing worse than stepping on them in the dark! Our girl is just the same wants to be EVERYWHERE I am, even in the shower. Gives and expects loads of love and is just a knee hog, very vocal aswell. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves without her here. Chats all day long, has an opinion on everything! You're doing a great job, I just discovered you and Echo tonight, will be following you guys, hes grown so much already! 🙂
You have done a wonderful job of this! Being a Ragdoll Cat myself, it's great to see such a great video about me. Thank you! Love from Coffee Cat
He's so lovely, your Ragdoll. I love Ragdoll cats, they are a funny breed. Got two and they are going to be 4 yrs this spring. Grew up with cats and Ragdolls are not like other cats, are they hahaha!! So funny! Cheers to you and your beautiful cat
Awwweee Echo is sooo adorable!!! 🥰
I'm really good friends (well, _my parents_ are really good friends and I am too) with a couple who now breed Full-Breed Ragdoll Kittens and we've decided to get a kitten off them soon, their next litter is due around August and will be ready by October which is perfect because that's around the time of my birthday, and we're really lucky to be good friends with them and know that they are trustworthy, and they are even giving us a small discount which is amazing! I've already seen the kittens from their previous litter in person which is also a good thing to do if you are buying animals from someone, because you need to know that they _do_ have the kitten/whatever animal you are getting, and that they are trustworthy and not fake. I'm so so so excited and happy 😊 I've always wanted a kitten and I think that Ragdolls are an excellent breed to have, and their personalities and traits are so wonderful
I just love Echo! He's so sweet and adorable! Thank you for sharing all those cute clips of Echo demonstrating of all his, "Ragdollness!" 🥰This video really made my day!
My two Ragdolls passed away recently, they were sisters and littermates, and they were some of the sweetest friends that I've ever had!
You're the first TH-camr who has ever mentioned the, "cling-on" problem. Also, you're absolutely right about Ragdolls being vocal!
As a quick question, is it still okay to kiss a cat on their face after a, "cling-on?" I always wanted to kiss my cats' faces, but I wasn't sure...
Thanks again for making my day! 😻
I'm getting a ragdoll in march so this video was very helpful!
Yay! So exciting, not long to wait now 🥰
i found this really helpful, my daughter wants a ragdoll and i told her she should do some research into them so she showed me this video and again it was very helpful, thank you.
I have 2 Ragdol’s
Sister and brother they adore each other as well as me. I got them as I could not replace my dog due to health conditions. They both have very different personalities and everything you have said is completely spot on.
Me and the family adore them. They groom each other and sleep wrapped up with each other. Sometimes they like to stretch out. I have to shadows with me constantly around the house. They are definitely different than owning a normal cat. But don’t forget these are house cats as they can’t defend themselves outside. I have a safe large cat pen outside they love chasing each other and it’s so funny to watch them. They bring you joy if you can’t get out of the house much ❤️❤️❤️
I have a 16-year old blue lynx point mitted. Echo is adorable, and you have many fun years ahead of you.
Thank you for this awesome, informative video. Much appreciated 👍🏾
What a nice Video. Calm, cheerful, conveys lots of info about Ragdolls. Sendings thanks from Canada.
Rag dolls are my dream cat! I always wanted to know how to take care of it. Ty!
Just brought home my Rag doll Siamese cross blue point Cleo. Quite different personality to my former Rag doll Leo. He was a great hunter and was sadly bitten by a brown snake and despite the anti venom shot passed away. We were devastated. She is less assertive, than he was and so loving and attentive. The best breed of cat imaginable.
Hi Kay Thank you this was a lovely video and very informative.❤
My pleasure Cathy! Have a lovely day 🥰
I have a ragdoll named Ted and he did have Issues with biting, growling and had fleas, due to the breeder. Poor little Ted was 8 weeks when brought him home, he wasn't socialized very well. but with time and patience, he's turned into a beautiful effectionate kitty. He's bonded with daughters kitten , so later on ,will find him a wee play mate..He was needing to be with other cats and is much more socialized . He loves people and likes to sit around and just be there ,he never hides ,as quite bold.
Thank you for your lovely videos. I would certainly choose a more reputable breeder next time and two cats is best l think..🐈
i am getting one and you are probable going to make me cry how cute you cat is and i have never been so excited in my life
I'm going to have to watch this video all over again. The gorgeous cat in the background kept distracting me. I couldn't take my eyes off that beautiful kitty cat. And we Americans LOVE the English people and their pets. Me especially. I wish my English ancestors had never left England.
We are getting 2 ragdols in a month. I can't wait!
Have you got them yet??!!
You are right to get two. We have two and they play together. They are the most amazing cats. Enjoy
@@johncraker8330 does it hurt when they bite?
@@igotaglockinmyrawrie no ,they are very,but our male ragdoll likes to use us as a chew toy sometimes.
@@johncraker8330 Ah i see think you, im going to get a radgoll in a week im very excited
Thanks for your Echo and the info. I have one kinda by default. My Lola is 10 yrs. old. A local kitten rescue person brought her by knowing I had had Bengals, Russian Blue. Big boys, She handed me this loong hair fluffy. She is a princess, though she is with IBD. No cure I am told. They come by with some meds weekly. And I love her, long fur is a challenge. It mats, I take the knots like you said, 1-2 times a day. Endless, so glad I found you, big help.
Such a great video! We had a most wonderful Persian called Eco (pronounced Echo too!) who was the most wonderful so great name!
Your Echo😻 is such a beauty.
Your cat is very lucky to have you as its guardian.
Very helpful, thank you, we hope to get ours soon!
we can't wait to get ours in march!! our breeder wont let us have her until she has been spade as well as the vaccinations!! We are getting a seal point ragdoll!! In the future we would love to get a ragdoll with echo's markings or a blue/lilac point!! Echo is so beautiful!
So exciting! Time will fly by 🥰 I love lilac too, I’d love a lilac bicolour or tabby in the future but honestly they are all just so beautiful in their own way!
Echo is so beautiful 😍 I’m looking to get a Siberian but Ragdolls are so cute! I means cats in general are just 😻
Thanks for sharing this very helpful information about ragdolls 👍🐱
I’m just living your videos! You’re so natural and pleasant...it’s really refreshing. I’m afraid though I’m going to want several videos a week. Sleep is for wimps and no time for fun!!! Chop chop! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😘😘💖
I'm so happy you think so! 🥰💛 Hahahahha, if only - maybe one day! 😋
We adopted our Ragdoll two weeks ago. She's 5 years old and her owners felt she wasn't happy anymore with them. They have a cattery with 14 ragdolls and she couldn't get along with any of them anymore (hit them and hissed at them, especially their kitten). So we took her in (one of the 4 cats they were getting rid of). I'm glad we took her in, the owners were kind (an older couple) but their living space was incredibly small imo for so many cats.
I doubt they plan on stopping breeding ragdolls and participating in shows any time soon.
But at least this beautiful cat can retire now in a quiet home with us.
when I was little I always wanted a ragdoll.
When I was 10 my mom surprised me with my first cat (my first cat was from a person who wasn't. breeder, their cat just got pregnant and so we took the kitten in when she was only 6 weeks old.)
My mom searched and searched and searched for a second cat when I was 11 and finally I ended up finding a very good breeder. She's an incredible breeder and very responsible and we got my second cat from her. A few years later and over the years she gave us some photos of new litters as per our request (giving her back photos of the cat we got from her)
My two cats get along great and tomorrow we're getting our third cat from her and our new cat is finally the rag doll that little me always wanted :)
He is SOOOOO cute!!!! I should be getting my rag doll next month 🤞🏼😍
This is very informative! Thank you. What kind of food were you fitting echo in this video?
I liked this! I had to trim my yorkie's hair near her bottom to prevent the cling on issue. I'm also looking for another emotional support animal since I recently had to put my yorkie to sleep. I think that I may enjoy your content so I have decided to subscribe! 😀
Such good info and my raggie does everything you say. Wish I had seen the video b4 I had him, it would have helped so much . Raggies Rule !! 😸❤xx
Happy you think so! 🥰 They are sure, lovely little alien cats 👽🐱😂
This is really helpful, thank you - especially the part about clingons! Poop is a natural part of having a pet 😂
Hi Kay, I love your videos about Echo! He is a cuttie! Where did you buy his harness? I just got my ragdoll last Thursday and he is soo adorable
Thank you so much for sharing this vedio, the information and experience! =)
Echo is the sweetest boy omg! Would you happen to have any tips on carrier training? Echo seems so comfortable in his carrier.
Sending a hello from the US!
Dunno if this will help but generally leave the carrier out around the house maybe leave treats there. Positive reaforcement. He should hopefully sit in it naturally
I didn’t have a ragdoll but my previous cat followed me around a lot so I got used to it. She kept me company while I was cooking and when I’d watch stuff. She liked Kitchen Nightmares (Gordon more than the rest of the show) and House of Anubis (which was on like 2011-2013) so I think she just liked the British accents 😂. I want to get a ragdoll though so this video has been very helpful
We are getting our three Ragdolls in November, two girls and one lovely boy.We really hope that they will get along when they are older too, since boys and girls play differently.
My ragdoll boy came from a rescue. I’m very lucky to have him. He was chosen to be a companion for my older, anxious girl moggy. I subsequently got another kitten who he doted on, groomed and protected until she was older. He’s five now and has a sweet calming presence that my girls appreciate.
He was a kitten until he was four so enjoy the extended-long play fun 😊 I think he wasn’t suitable for breeding as he has crossed eyes (a common thing in pointed cat breeds). BTW the lynx markings are also defines by the cute white eyeliner he’s wearing. My boy is a blue point, mitted, lynx.
My ragdoll (Moose aka Puppy-Cat) runs and slides around like a person with socks on on a polished floor. It's hilarious. He makes my day, every day. Best cats ever.
Hi Kay, I really enjoy watching your video. Ragdoll cats are absolutely adorable. I like the chattering because it gives good interactions. They indeed follow owners around, even to the bathroom. At first I didn’t like the idea of kittens entering bathroom because of humid. However after repeated meowing, I surrendered. Ragdoll kittens or probably any cats like to see owners any second when brushing teeth, washing hands or even showering. Is it a good idea to allow the kitten to stay when having a bath?
Echo is the most lovely boy! 🥺🥺🥺🥺😍
Awww thank you! 🐱💛
@@Livingthelifeyoulove I know this was 2 years ago, but in 9 days time I am finally getting a ragdoll kitten! I’ve been watching your little family and I’m so happy to finally be able to bring a ragdoll into mine!!
I have just brought my gorgeous boy home today 💙 a very traumatic journey for bothe of us. He's settling in amazingly though. On my knee now
I love ragdolls the are so cute. I want to have one but my dad is allergic so I can’t get one. Gotta wait a couple of years til I can move from home. I have loved cats ever since I was a baby and I don’t think my love for them will ever stop. I started tearing up while watching this video.
Very helpful 😻
Beautiful kitten
Thank you!
Baby kitten very wonderful and very nice colour and very happy 🐈😻👌👌👌
I loved your ragdoll video😊
You are on point about everything regarding ragdoll cats, I've got a Ragdoll kitten aswell her name is Angel she's 6 months old and she is very affectionate and loves cuddles 💕😼
Angel is having a hard time gaining weight...could I ask you what you feed your kitten on a daily rutine?
Thank u so much my parents said I can get a ragdoll kitten if I learn about it and now I might get my dream kitten
That cat is so adorable! 😭
Such a great video, thank you! I have a golden BSH kitten and I would love a Ragdoll friend for her ☺️ Can I ask where your grooming brush is from?
I'd really try a more compact slicker brush for Echo's fur! Just a friendly suggestion as I think you'd get much more detangling power with a slicker :) Your kitty is way too adorable for words though, I can't wait to get another ragdoll
They look like they would get tangled so much
firstt !!:) ur kitty is so cute !!
🥳🙌🏼 thank you!
Aww, you seem very sweet! Your cat is very cute by the way :)
Great video. Our precious ragdoll Boaz died of HCM on thursday. Make sure you get your cat from a breeder that screens for this heart disease. He had a massive heart attack and his two back legs went paralyzed. The vet gave him 6 to 12 months if he survived this episode but he was prone to having more heart attacks and the vet wasn't sure if he would survive the night. He was in terrible terrible pain so we agonized over the decision and finally put him down and we miss him so much. Only 3 years old. He was not floppy but he followed us everywhere. It's so strange in the house now not having him in the kitchen while I'm cooking or greeting me in the morning. He would also run to the door no matter what time we came home and greet us
ragdolls are awesome kittens! my ragdoll cat who was supposed to be a boy ended up being a girl and had babies ! they’re so cute and playful :) We have 2 little blue points and some other colors!
The clingons oh my couldn't agree more!! 😅😅
Great video, thank you! PS: You have a wonderful house!
my cat has ragdoll, and this gives me memories when she was little🥺❤️
O.O just got a ragdoll after my other of 14 years passed away and my new one looks similar to yours and I gave her the same name... What a coincidence.
I'll be getting one as soon as I get rid of my parasitic LL :)) having your own place is freedom haha can you imagine a first world country not allowing cats. this breed is the cutest I've ever seen ! thanks for sharing
Hello kay.I also live in the UK. I love your videos💞 Please make more❤❤Do you recomend a Ragdoll when you are going to school
I have two strays but they let me touch their paws and scratch their belly. In love with them.
Ragdolls are amazing! Will be doing a video about these lovely cats very soon!
Cuteee!😻
I totally get what you mean. I personally don't agree with breeders either but sometimes you just want a specific breed and its okay as long as its a certified breeder.
Not only this, sometimes adoption centres don't have indoor cats available (this was the case for me) and if your area isn't suitable for an outdoor cat it would be unfair on the cat
