People are weird for being weird about divorced parents.

Oh wow, yeah, you were an infant! Whatever your parents did has nothing to do with you at that point. I don't know why someone would judge a kid for having divorced parents. That's just wild.

He didn’t realize, he backtracked some once he was told but he also had a habit of mansplaining that made it very funny to be a part of haha

@Lux, sounds like he needed to vent. That or didn't realize everyone at the table had divorced parents. XD

I once went on a double date where the other’s guy talked about how traumatic their parents amicable divorce was and how we didn’t know how divorce could be damaging for kids (they were 17 when it happened). While divorce can be traumatic and damaging, he was talking to a table full of people with divorced parents

@Rainy, I have been looked down on it for my whole life even though I wasn't even 1 when it happened. It sucks.

That's a shame. It's not like you had any control over that!

Yeah, it can be annoying for sure. I think everyone does it to a degree, though.

On a different date the guy wanted to know about what it's like being a kid to divorced parents. He was extremely turned off by the fact my parents were divorced. =/

I think it was the fact that he talked about his special interest and himself for the whole hour and a half that bothered me.

Yeah the special interest talk isn't bad. Just can be for the wrong person lol

The talking about yourself the whole time tho?? That's crazy. I always worry that I talk too much about myself just in one simple conversation lol
Hummingbird Meadows
09:54:12 Bird
@Snitch, was he fascinated with tree rings too?

Then again, I'm very likely to talk people's ears off about my special interests, so yannow. No one's perfect lol.

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.
