Ideal Home Buddy: The Ragdoll


By: Pauline Francisco

In times of stress we have the tendency to look for serenity, peacefulness and a relaxing atmosphere after a hard day’s work. The perfect companion would be a Ragdoll cat.

So what is a Ragdoll cat? It is a breed of cat perfect for indoors so they would be a favorable suggestion for a pet. People nowadays tend to prefer dogs over cats because of their fluffy furs and appealing features that you go crazy over for but as for the cat persons out there who loves to preserve the peacefulness of their private space and would appreciate a loving pet who always follows you everywhere you go then a Ragdoll cat will be a suitable buddy.

How could such a thing emerge

A lot of people are oblivious of Ragdoll cats mainly because it is a fairly new breed. It all started with Ann Baker the person who started the Ragdoll legacy. In the 1960's she started Ragdoll by breeding what was believed to be a white female Persian-type cat to a Seal Point Birman. The offspring of the two breeds was then Breed to a Burmese and this series of breeding has led to the emergence of the first Ragdoll cat.

Why of all the breeds?

Cat persons basically want to conserve the harmony of their space drifting away from unnecessary noise. Ragdoll cats are loved by cat breeders because of their friendly nature towards people as well as their soft and silky fur. They are not the typical type of cats that you see because these cats grow larger than other cats.

They have these cute features that attract people like their fluffy furs and rounded eyes so when you look at it’s as if they are so hard to ignore. Its appearance says it all they tend to be so irresistible because they seem to be the perfect pet for you.

Ragdolls are playful in the gentle kind of way. Cats are generally known to be calm and relaxed and this breed is known to have many puppy-like attributes that make them endearing to pet lovers. Their docility is their best characteristic and their appearance constitutes to the way people expect them to be, which is loving and playful.

Not all cats yearn for human contact, Ragdolls tend to be physically attached to their owners and that point seems to be very cute in a way because it’s just similar on how a baby duckling always sticks around his mommy duck. They like to be surrounded by people. If they don’t see anyone in the room they tend to look for you and you’ll be stunned to see that they are just standing right outside your bedroom door calling for your attention.

Another pro on why you should love this breed is that you don’t need to give so much effort on keeping an eye on them, they don’t eat your time. Cats can manage their own because they also have their independent nature as well.

Having a pet will definitely change your life in a diverse and good kind of way. The thought of actually having someone you can play with and take care of makes your everyday existence somehow worth living, life is not all about living for yourself it’s about making it more meaningful by actually having to spend it with someone you have love for and pets have a space in that circle.
