Ragdoll Cat Owners September 7, 2023 07:00 PM

I really miss having a cat in my house and while researching cat breeds I came across Ragdolls. It sounds like they have a lot of the traits I am looking for in a cat: cuddly, friendly, and gentle.

I wanted to see if anyone on here owns or has owned a Ragdoll cat. What did you like? What did you dislike?

I wanted a Ragdoll for the same reasons but ours.... doesn't fit any of the three.
Our three year old Ragdoll is gorgeous, but that is about all that he has going for him.
He likes being pet, but only for a minute or two before he slaps at us. Hates being picked up. Aggressive playing style towards us and our other cats. He has drawn blood from our other cats. He's also dumb as a rock. And his voice... sounds like a mix of a croak and a hoarse caw instead of the little "chirps" you sometimes hear from Ragdolls.
However, we got him during Covid where we couldn't meet him prior to picking him up. If we had met him we may have gotten one that was a better fit for us.
That being said, he does follow us around and usually stays within a few feet of us. When he's in an affectionate mood he is the licking type.
And it's not like we got him from a bad breeder. He is registered, as are his parents, and his full brother (same parents, next year's litter) was the #2 Ragdoll cat in the US in 2021. So ours has great genes but kind of missed out on the personality.

Oof, that sounds rough. Experiences like that make me think it is better to adopt a cat that is an adult so I already know their personality.

Adult is an option - a lot of Ragdoll breeders will sell their breeding cats once they have been fixed at a fairly young age - usually 3-5.
However, I personally have found that spending an hour or so with a kitten is sufficient to get to know at least the basics of their personality. A 3 month kitten is definitely old enough for this, and sometimes those traits come out way earlier.
We have 2 british shorthairs as well that are super calm - yeah they have their likes and dislikes but they're never aggressive, even when they play. They're also very affectionate. For one of them this was visible from when he was 3 weeks old when I first met him. He was a litter of 3 and the eldest brother was a complete a**hole even at that age, the middle brother was a bit nicer but largely copied the older brother, and the one I fell in love with was the youngest and super calm. So those personalities shone through strongly and early.
From working at the shelter this was largely my experience as well. With the exception of feral --> more domesticated over time, kittens usually showed the outline of their personality from 3 months or so, at least enough to get an idea of careful/aggressive, playful/cuddly, etc.
