I was suffering from depression and decided that a cat might help. I decided on a Ragdoll. I had Sabrina, a blue point Ragdoll. I loved her to pieces and she truly helped me over the years. She was very affectionate and always wanted to be in the same room as me. She died when she was 13 years old of kidney failure. I sure miss her. Enjoy your precious little one.
My cat died the same way at the same age :( It’s amazing to have animals and learn their personalities. They’re all unique individuals just like humans. My cat that passed was the oldest and I have two that are younger than her. It’s so fascinating how different they are from each other. I honestly feel that you can have just as much a bond with an animal as you can with a human. Losing them is just as sad. I’m so glad that you got to have Sabrina, and I’m sorry for your loss. I miss mine very much, too. I wish you all the best and I hope you find another precious one :)
They are loving cats and not a bit like other cats they are so cute and act like dogs compared with my cat. He is a devil and my mom can’t stand being in the same room as him.
I had my ragdoll for 20 years, he was my childhood cat. He just passed away in October- he was the absolute best! Congrats on your new fur baby you will absolutely adore him forever and ever!
I also had a Ragdoll for 20 years. He was my childhood cat from '71-'91. He didn't even die from natural causes, rather an unfortunate accident. I just adopted another.
@@safiyoali3361 I understand but it's best to wait for their sake. You want them to take their time to adjust and feel comfortable, allow them to come to you
Congratulations, he’s lovely. All cats need love regardless of where they come from, there’s no need to apologise for offering a loving home to Echo. Enjoy your new family member. It’s such a special time xx
I had a Ragdoll for 19 years. Amazing cat like no other. He was indoor and outdoor. Never went to far. Never killed anything. Would wait for me outside at exactly the same time every work day, so we could come in together. He had personality of a dog. Followed me everywhere. He was a bit cross eyed. Oh how I miss him...
I got a Ragdoll kitten for an Easter present when I was 23 years old. I am now 35 years old and I STILL have him! He’s VERY healthy and I believe he will live a wonderful long life! He will be 13 years old on March 22nd and he STILL plays like a kitten. I love how laid back he is, and he’s awesome with my 2 year old Nephew. Their personalities are like no other cat and mine even talks! He says “Ma” and “mom” and he knows 5 tricks and always gets them right... anyways Your kitten is absolutely beautiful! Get ready for a journey of a lifetime with him!!!! 😻
I’ve been trying convincing my mom to get us a cat for 4 YEARS now! My dad and I decided to become rebellious andddd we’re getting a cat whether my mom likes it or not after summer- im realllyyyyy excited!
do you know what cat you want? I really want a ragdoll but since my family got a dog and I already have mice I can’t get one now but I’m gonna start saving my money for a kitten
@@IndigoMist44 We finally convinced my mom so update we are getting a cat, however im not getting a kitten because they’re hard to handle and always want to play, other than that, we’re waiting to move to a bigger house in sep/oct :)
I see a lot of comments saying "all kitties need homes not just rescues", and while this is true, it diminishes the importance of adopting cats who really need it. Breeding homes already look after the cats, cats in shelters are often put at risk for euthanization and have a worse life. I also have a ragdoll that I got from a friend as she couldn't watch after her anymore, but to everyone reading this, please adopt as your first option always! Love this video, a very lovely kitten :)
I agree and my late baby Taz is an example of this. A few months ago my family and i adopted 2 4 month old kittens who, fun fact were cousins! They both had ringworm so they needed to stay for a week to get treatment. After that we brought them home! They were soo cute and tiny i could cup my hands and hold one of them like that. Then just 2 months after we got them (Their names are Merlin and Taz, Merlin is a Russian blue mix and Taz was a domestic shorthair tabby) we found out Taz had a lethal sickness called feline infections paratenitis and the day after he was admitted to the hospital he died. We lost our kitten at 6 months old and it hurt worse then anything I’ve ever felt. However im so thankful he got a super happy home in his last few months of his life instead of dying at the shelter
I have adopted many cats but sometimes things in our lives are not appropriate or work out that way. I had a cat I adopted, he was a tuxedo cat and a 15 pounds. He got me through a lot, my miscarriage at 12 weeks, my father passing, then I needed a hysterectomy due to stage 4 endometriosis. I adopted my human son through our Department of children and families and met him when he was 2 years old. My cat who had finally gotten used to him passed 2 days before Christmas at the age of 18 yrs old. We soon adopted a kitten, sweet and loving adorable all black kitten. When he turned a year old he died due to Feline leukemia he got exposed to in the humane society. Then my son turned 7 yrs old and one of his classmates had a kitten he adored. He became sad and I did as well since we hadn't had a cat for years. I looked into available cats but we couldn't go in due to covid and we really wanted a cat. I looked on Craigslist in desperation and only one add was in my area. It was for 5 kittens with only one left. We called and met at a circle k and it was a female bengal kitten. She was 8 weeks and adorable, high energy and plays with my high energy son. We have 5 neighborhood cats that needed help that we feed and have beds and cat trees for outside that wouldn't do well inside all the time and had spayed and vaccinated. We always keep our pets inside so they stay healthy so not all cats are appropriate. Look up bengals and you will see why we love our kitten who is 4 mos now.
Not everyone wants to adopt from a shelter. Shelter animals are there for a reason. These cats can come with problems that can get too expensive for people to want or be able to take on. Also, some of us just dream of a certain type of pet that may not be from a shelter. I say get whatever pet makes you happy.
@@DD-ee2nv yea but it is better to adopt from the shelter bc shelters are no place for pets trust me. The cat shelter i got my kittens from it smelled super bad, there were a ton of cats with only 2 litter boxes and cats especially kittens get sick easily. Would say get pets from shelters bc then you can give them a better home. But also your right get the kind of pet you want however you might be pleasantly surprised! I went into kitten adoption thinking i wanted a calico munchkin but when i walked in i was able to adopt a tabby sweetheart and a Russian blue/Siamese mix curious lovebug. So before getting one from a breeder just check out some local shelters before making a final choice
@@Ashelyyyyyyyyfuf here is one (my pfp is not a ragdoll lol) If you get a ragdoll have another pet or another ragdoll so they don’t get bored while being left alone because that breed doesn’t like being alone
@@coltoncarnrite2366 hmm well the thing is it’s gonna be an outside cat because someone in my family has an allergy and asthma otherwise she’d definitely be inside the thing is would it affect the cat I’d definitely be giving it loads of attention though for sure
@@Ashelyyyyyyyyfuf It does not matter as long as you still give him attention we had a rag doll outside we slanted the fence and he could not jump over mine was 8 kg so big boy so they are big but as long as you give him love and attention and supplies such as food water litter box he or she should do great I hope this helps and you enjoy your new kitty mine lived 16 years so even though he was outside he still lived a long happy life 😊
Pink Out I hope you still read this before you consider getting a ragdoll, but please don’t get one if it’s going to be an outside cat. Ragdolls aren’t a good breed for that. They’re very trusting and curious, so anyone could scoop them up and take your cat. There’s a lot more reasons why ragdolls shouldn’t go outside. Please look it up.
I work at a cat rescue centre and I agree that adoption isn't for everyone. Most cats in rescue centres come with horrible pasts, so it's very important to find them a home that can cater to their individual needs. Not everyone can do that. I think people should definitely adopt where possible, but I can't condemn someone for buying a cat when they already tried adopting and it didn't work for them. Echo looks like a real sweetheart. I wish you and him many joyful years together. 🤍
You should see how excited I was to get my new kittens (got two of them). Couldn’t sleep the night before. I missed having a cat in the house after my last cat passed away in July.
That has to be the cutest little doll! I have 5 cats, all adoptions. "adopting" isn't for everyone, but it is important for most people to understand that a cat is a commitment. Your Echo has a wonderful to new home and people to 'make his own'. Grats on that cutie!
Ragdolls have always been my favourite cats! So so so cute! This video made me wish I had filmed my dog more when he was a puppy. You are going to have all these beautiful memories to look back on.
Aww he’s so cute. Cats are the best. Ours came from a neighbour and adopted us and she is the best thing that ever happened to us. I wouldn’t be without a cat. They are pure souls. Enjoy every moment with Echo.
The day you get your kitten is so special and exciting. I adopted a rescue cat that was almost 3 years old and had been up for adoption for quite awhile. He is a ginger short hair cat that turned out to be so wonderful but he didn't really know how to play. Almost a year later my daughter gave me a pure bred Maine Coon from a fabulous breeder. I received her when she was 3 months old and my guy, Evan, took to her immediately. He adopted her and she taught him how to play. They are best buds and get on so well. Evan and Evie are so much a part of our family and I look forward to everyday with them. Enjoy Echo to the fullest which I can see you already do. I so look forward to watching your life with Echo on You Tube.
Aww! We're over the moon Louise. You have done a brilliant job with him, we love him so much. The love and attention you've given him shows, he's such an affectionate and playful little guy. 🥰💛
I'm so glad you found each other. I hope he helps with your anxiety. There is clearly a lot of love in your house. Having an animal with which to share your home is such a blessing. All the best to all three of you. ❤
Rag dolls are my favorite! So happy for you. Ignore backlash you’ll never satisfy everyone. 👍😊you look like the perfect cat guardian, you’ve gone all out.
Congratulations! I'm sat here watching with my 22 year old (human years) cat and your video brought back so many memories of her first days with me, so many years ago. She's been blessed with good health for so long and I'm feeling extra grateful today. Wishing you many happy years with Echo from the U.S.!
What a beautiful, adorable little kitten - you are going to have so much fun, mischief and love with him. It was heart-warming and sooo cute to see how smitten Dom is too with little Echo. Looking forward to seeing lots of shots of him in your in your videos ❤️
Just love your precious baby! I also have a ragdoll and he is so loving and they have a different personality than other cats. Echo will echo throughout your lives!
Ah wow! Echo! Seeing him explore his new home is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm sure Echo will bring some calm and happiness into your lives and that he's going to be very happy with you! (already is I guess... :))
Ahhhh girl I don't usually comment but I hope you see this! I'm so excited for you I'm actually getting 2 ragdolls I've fostered tons of domestic rescues and struggled to bond with them when I researched the ragdoll they have the characteristics I'm looking for! I also struggle with anxiety and depression they would be helping me with that I also felt ashamed because I'm a rescuer but people also get purebred dogs and no one says anything to them! But anyway you do you boo! Wishing you all the best! ❤🤗
I have a Ragdoll too. he's nine years old now. I love this breed because they are so dog-like and easy going. Also had a Birman and a non breed tabby cat. sadly the birman died young (renal failure) and the tabby cat needed to go outside, which is dangerous here, living by a busy road. So I had to find her a new home (she is very happy now!) Now the Ragdoll is the only cat and he loves to be the only cat. 7,3 kg, not a lap cat, but loves to cuddly en lay beside me. Would never want any other breed.
been obsessed with your kitten, love all the instagram stories of him as well - they're keeping me my spirits up while I'm at work! my partner grew up with ragdolls and I love going to his parents house to see their cats - they are so lovely and all have such different personalities... I look forward to when I can have a cat again, they're honestly the best companions... lots of love to you and Echo
I am actually trying to find a ragdoll kitten as I lost my old one a few years ago and this brings back fond memories when I brought my fluff ball home.. they are wonderful cats!!! And this one is sooooo adorable!
I got my little rag doll Lillia a month ago. She was really fascinated watching Echo. I definitely see behavioral similarities 💟🐈 I chose her as my birthday gift!!
awwww!! he is such a cutie pie! I remembered when I got my Ragdoll. He is a flame point. One word of advice -- you'll need a larger kitty litter box lololol....trust me on this. They grow up to be large beautiful cats. Good luck to you and congrats on your new addition to your family :)
Try not to feel bad about not being able to get a rescue. I’ve had a similar situation where at the start of the year I planned to get guinea pigs as support pets (I’m autistic and struggle with mental health). I looked into rescue and adoption options but there was so where nearby and the pandemic was getting progressively worse. It was then a couple of days before the lockdown started so we just went to Pets at Home. They only had 2 guinea pigs left! So we were SO lucky. They’re honestly what has got me through this tough year. I am so grateful for them. So even though they aren’t rescues, I try to just feel good for having them and being able to give them a good life 🥰. I hope your kitten helps you as much as my guineas have helped me. (I’m actually sat with them as I watch your video ☺️)
Uhh, ignore all of these comments lmao... guinea pigs are great. You saved those pigs from that shop, think of it that way. I adore guinea pigs, one of mine actually passed away in my arms a few nights ago so I need to get my other piggy a new cage mate. Maybe down the line you can rescue some guinea pigs! I’ve always wanted to take in older pigs who need a forever home for their senior years, but losing them is so fucking tough. Best of luck to you xoxo
I loved this video, there were happy tears 😭😻! Echo is such a cutie and he seemed to get comfortable in his new home very quickly. So funny him playing with the remote and your glasses. I have a British short-haired Cross called Ollie, he's my emotional support cat and is currently asleep on my lap ♡ cats are the best. I'm looking forward to more videos with Echo xxxxx
First time watcher 🤗 Lovely video. Echo is gorgeous and I anticipate a life full of happiness for him (and you!) 🥰 We got two ragdoll kittens (one in September, one in October) and they honestly fill my heart! Enjoy Echo ❤️ Oh and please don’t feel as if you owe anyone an explanation for why you went with a cat breeder. I’ve learned to stop explaining (although I relate to why you wanted to). Good luck with everything x
Echo is precious!!! Such a wonderful birthday present for you :) I used to be a cat breeder of Siamese and Snowshoes and a couple of things I noticed, please make sure to either cut the window blind/shade/covering strings as many cats have hung themselves on those if they are not cut or you can also tack them up above the window so he can't get to it. As far as cat nip, I never had a kitten who liked it, but they do like it once they are older, so you may want to try a tiny bit of it and if he's not interested you can save it until he is older. Echo is certainly blessed and is going to be sooooo spoiled! Many blessings to you and your family. Hope you had the best birthday ever.
I can relate to the conflict about not adopting and because she needed an ESA she went with a ragdoll specifically. I had a cat who was very very similar to a ragdoll in personality and body (never territorial, gentle. knew to comfort me when I wasn't feeling well) and unfortunately he passed away recently. We had recently gotten him a Siamese playmate but with how needy he is being his high strung neither of us were getting our needs met. I decided it was important to find a breeder who cared about the health and wellfare of the cat (more than a paycheck) and I'm very excited to be getting mine (also on my birthday) in about a month, in the meantime I am holding myself over with sweet videos like this
I'm fostering a 6 month old red/ cream ragdoll. I named her Misty. She had to be spayed and needed her shots. She is a sweetheart and is getting adopted on Thanksgiving. I will miss her lively spirit and purrs. I know she will be loved and a member of a loving family.
Misty went off to her Forever Home today. My home feels so empty with out her. I really feel very sad. She now has to start all over in isolation for 7 days. I am a wreck I should never have let her go.
What a beautiful boy! All my cats have been rescues, but my husband and I do want to get a Ragdoll one day. My dearly departed Snowshoe Siamese was my comfort animal for 21 years--I think Ragdolls have that same loving nature. Congrats!
Oh my he is adorable💕 I was exactly the same as you on the excited front when we got our puppy this year, so exciting getting all their toys and bed etc.. and then that wait until you finally get to bring them home! Such an amazing time, enjoy😁
Thanks for this proper look into what to expect when I bring home a baby ragdoll. You’re all so lovely and gentle. He has such a little rascal personality. I think it’s settled for me, ragdoll it is🤍🙏🏼
Awwwww he is amazing!! We have a ragdoll as well and trust me you will have so much fun and so many adventures with your little floof!! Thank you both so much for being so nice to your Kittie, sometimes we see videos that aren't as nice so we appreciate people who love and respect animals! You have done great guys!! Much love to you both and your very own fluffito! 💕💕
My cats are indoor only cats and all rescues. If anyone has negative comments, they do not understand how important it is to find the best home for a rescue cat. Sounds like both you and the organization made the best decision for the cats. Have fun.
I totally understand getting a cat instead of adopting I had to do it as well because my mom is allergic to cats but I very much do agree with you with the support thing because I just got a kitten because I have been really stressed and sad lately and she has helped me so much so I hope for the best with you and echo!
This might sound silly but this made me cry a bit... Bringing my ragdoll home was one of the best days of my life. She's 5 now and a big girl! This made me really miss her as a baby. We never get this time with them twice.❤
I am watching. Bringing home a Rag Doll Baby in 4 weeks! Thank you so much for the great video! Helped so much He is adorable and so happy he settled in quickly 😺😺😺
I was wondering why you weren't adopting a cat, but from what you explained, for now you can't, which is fair enough. And I'm sure you've been careful to not get a cat from an unethical breeder, cause you're always kind and thoughtful. I've got my tea in a giant cat mug (completely coincidental!) so I'm ready for the cuteness overload. Bring it on! OMG, how do you get anything done with a cute little cat at home?!

I remember when i brought my dog home for he first time, he took a huge dump on the carpet immedietly 💀💀
💀💀💀😭😭😭
Lmao
Mine threw up 😅 lol
This really made me laugh lol
😭 🤚
Adorable kitten , if only all animals had a home like this... his very lucky.
He looks like he is perfectly at home. How lucky you are to have such a precious baby. ❤️
Aww thank you! He's really made our house feed like a home x
That has to be the cutest little doll! I have 5 cats, all adoptions. "adopting" isn't for everyone, but it is important for most people to understand that a cat is a commitment. Your Echo has a wonderful to new home and people to 'make his own'. Grats on that cutie!
Hello Dear Tenerife
Your joy in Echo is contagious!! I would totally love him too!
Ragdolls have always been my favourite cats! So so so cute! This video made me wish I had filmed my dog more when he was a puppy. You are going to have all these beautiful memories to look back on.
He's so adorable for sure. Definitely cuteness overload. But you can never have too much. Congratulations on your new kitten.
That is the most cutest kitten I have ever seen, it's always the best when they settle in well and playing
ADORABLE! What a love! I am so happy for you both to have such a sweet kitty! I do look forward to seeing more of Echo and you all with him! Yay!
Aww he’s so cute. Cats are the best. Ours came from a neighbour and adopted us and she is the best thing that ever happened to us. I wouldn’t be without a cat. They are pure souls. Enjoy every moment with Echo.
I love how cozy your home looks!! And your voice is so calming btw!!
The day you get your kitten is so special and exciting. I adopted a rescue cat that was almost 3 years old and had been up for adoption for quite awhile. He is a ginger short hair cat that turned out to be so wonderful but he didn't really know how to play. Almost a year later my daughter gave me a pure bred Maine Coon from a fabulous breeder. I received her when she was 3 months old and my guy, Evan, took to her immediately. He adopted her and she taught him how to play. They are best buds and get on so well. Evan and Evie are so much a part of our family and I look forward to everyday with them. Enjoy Echo to the fullest which I can see you already do. I so look forward to watching your life with Echo on You Tube.
So cute! The way he explore around is so adorAble 🥰. An adventurous one.
Ah I could cry 😭 looks just like my cat when she was little 💖
awww
Awww
Echo is precious, and I love how he matches your cottage!
I'm watching this to help feed my excitement of getting a kitten of my own this spring!
Love the curious gaze from inside the carrier!
Talking to your cat softly to help them calm down and get used to your voice when you first bring them home is a good thing to do! Glad you did that
Omg we have just been guided to your video of our kitten! We are so happy your super happy with him xx
Aww! We're over the moon Louise. You have done a brilliant job with him, we love him so much. The love and attention you've given him shows, he's such an affectionate and playful little guy. 🥰💛
I'm so glad you found each other. I hope he helps with your anxiety. There is clearly a lot of love in your house. Having an animal with which to share your home is such a blessing. All the best to all three of you. ❤
Wishing you lots of love, health and happiness for you and your family of three! Echo is beautiful!
Rag dolls are my favorite! So happy for you. Ignore backlash you’ll never satisfy everyone. 👍😊you look like the perfect cat guardian, you’ve gone all out.
Congratulations! I'm sat here watching with my 22 year old (human years) cat and your video brought back so many memories of her first days with me, so many years ago. She's been blessed with good health for so long and I'm feeling extra grateful today. Wishing you many happy years with Echo from the U.S.!
MOST ADORABLE KITTEN EVER (well almost. I had 2 beautiful kittens that I can't replace but this one is adorable as well!)
What a beautiful, adorable little kitten - you are going to have so much fun, mischief and love with him. It was heart-warming and sooo cute to see how smitten Dom is too with little Echo. Looking forward to seeing lots of shots of him in your in your videos ❤️
Just love your precious baby! I also have a ragdoll and he is so loving and they have a different personality than other cats. Echo will echo throughout your lives!
Omg I got a ragdoll on my birthday as well. Ours is called Theodore. We love him sooo much he’s only 15 weeks old just now and he’s an angel x
so lucky! I’m hoping to get a kitten soon
As the owner of a ragdoll cattery, this makes me so happy!
Ah wow! Echo! Seeing him explore his new home is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm sure Echo will bring some calm and happiness into your lives and that he's going to be very happy with you! (already is I guess... :))
Hello maike
Ahhhh girl I don't usually comment but I hope you see this! I'm so excited for you I'm actually getting 2 ragdolls I've fostered tons of domestic rescues and struggled to bond with them when I researched the ragdoll they have the characteristics I'm looking for! I also struggle with anxiety and depression they would be helping me with that I also felt ashamed because I'm a rescuer but people also get purebred dogs and no one says anything to them! But anyway you do you boo! Wishing you all the best! ❤🤗
He’s so gorgeous and sweet - happy birthday
Such a beautiful baby! I'm jealous.
Such a curious little guy! And that first tiny purr ♥️
I have a Ragdoll too. he's nine years old now. I love this breed because they are so dog-like and easy going. Also had a Birman and a non breed tabby cat. sadly the birman died young (renal failure) and the tabby cat needed to go outside, which is dangerous here, living by a busy road. So I had to find her a new home (she is very happy now!) Now the Ragdoll is the only cat and he loves to be the only cat. 7,3 kg, not a lap cat, but loves to cuddly en lay beside me. Would never want any other breed.
been obsessed with your kitten, love all the instagram stories of him as well - they're keeping me my spirits up while I'm at work! my partner grew up with ragdolls and I love going to his parents house to see their cats - they are so lovely and all have such different personalities... I look forward to when I can have a cat again, they're honestly the best companions... lots of love to you and Echo
I am actually trying to find a ragdoll kitten as I lost my old one a few years ago and this brings back fond memories when I brought my fluff ball home.. they are wonderful cats!!! And this one is sooooo adorable!
I got my little rag doll Lillia a month ago. She was really fascinated watching Echo. I definitely see behavioral similarities 💟🐈 I chose her as my birthday gift!!
Hey👋👋
awwww!! he is such a cutie pie! I remembered when I got my Ragdoll. He is a flame point. One word of advice -- you'll need a larger kitty litter box lololol....trust me on this. They grow up to be large beautiful cats. Good luck to you and congrats on your new addition to your family :)
congrats!! i got a ragdoll kitten in may, and he has changed my world! he's very curious and talkative but ragdolls are just the best
He’s gorgeous 😻😻 and sure found the perfect home.
Adorable lil kitty...I can tell hes in a loving home ...from me charms an lillybean.. my 2 furbabys
This is literally the best kitty coming home video Ive ever seen 😍 💞
That little kitten is going to have one lovely and caring owner. Brilliant.
I was just watching tons of "bringing home our Kitten" videos, when I realized we probably have the same birthday! Yay:)))
Amazing that a new kitten, when the carrier door is opened, in a strange place, starts purring, and lays down for a nap.
Try not to feel bad about not being able to get a rescue. I’ve had a similar situation where at the start of the year I planned to get guinea pigs as support pets (I’m autistic and struggle with mental health). I looked into rescue and adoption options but there was so where nearby and the pandemic was getting progressively worse. It was then a couple of days before the lockdown started so we just went to Pets at Home. They only had 2 guinea pigs left! So we were SO lucky. They’re honestly what has got me through this tough year. I am so grateful for them. So even though they aren’t rescues, I try to just feel good for having them and being able to give them a good life 🥰. I hope your kitten helps you as much as my guineas have helped me. (I’m actually sat with them as I watch your video ☺️)
Uhmmm - rescuing a guinea pig is very different from rescuing a cat.
Pet stores source their animals from horrible pet mills. Please don't support them.
@@ieatleaves1242 Thank you, that is so true. Buying an animal entails a lot of suffering behind the scenes. Always adopt from a shelter.
@@tanyab1088 how so...... that’s very rude
Uhh, ignore all of these comments lmao... guinea pigs are great. You saved those pigs from that shop, think of it that way. I adore guinea pigs, one of mine actually passed away in my arms a few nights ago so I need to get my other piggy a new cage mate. Maybe down the line you can rescue some guinea pigs! I’ve always wanted to take in older pigs who need a forever home for their senior years, but losing them is so fucking tough. Best of luck to you xoxo
What a wonderful birthday! Congratulations on your new addition. Echo is beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this day with us! We are getting our first Ragdoll in December!!!!
I loved this video, there were happy tears 😭😻! Echo is such a cutie and he seemed to get comfortable in his new home very quickly. So funny him playing with the remote and your glasses. I have a British short-haired Cross called Ollie, he's my emotional support cat and is currently asleep on my lap ♡ cats are the best. I'm looking forward to more videos with Echo xxxxx
Oh aww!! My favorite cat breed is a ragdoll!! I feel like they’ll really help with stress/anxiety too!!
Aww..He is Precious. Now its time to get a playmate/lifetime friend for Your new baby! 2 is so much better than One.
First time watcher 🤗 Lovely video. Echo is gorgeous and I anticipate a life full of happiness for him (and you!) 🥰 We got two ragdoll kittens (one in September, one in October) and they honestly fill my heart! Enjoy Echo ❤️ Oh and please don’t feel as if you owe anyone an explanation for why you went with a cat breeder. I’ve learned to stop explaining (although I relate to why you wanted to). Good luck with everything x
I enjoyed your video very much,watching you and your sweet baby together,just so precious
I love Ragdolls they’re so cute and floppy when you pick them up
Look at that precious kitty face oh my goodness, he is warming up to you and your soft voice.
Echo is precious!!! Such a wonderful birthday present for you :) I used to be a cat breeder of Siamese and Snowshoes and a couple of things I noticed, please make sure to either cut the window blind/shade/covering strings as many cats have hung themselves on those if they are not cut or you can also tack them up above the window so he can't get to it. As far as cat nip, I never had a kitten who liked it, but they do like it once they are older, so you may want to try a tiny bit of it and if he's not interested you can save it until he is older. Echo is certainly blessed and is going to be sooooo spoiled! Many blessings to you and your family. Hope you had the best birthday ever.
I can relate to the conflict about not adopting and because she needed an ESA she went with a ragdoll specifically. I had a cat who was very very similar to a ragdoll in personality and body (never territorial, gentle. knew to comfort me when I wasn't feeling well) and unfortunately he passed away recently. We had recently gotten him a Siamese playmate but with how needy he is being his high strung neither of us were getting our needs met. I decided it was important to find a breeder who cared about the health and wellfare of the cat (more than a paycheck) and I'm very excited to be getting mine (also on my birthday) in about a month, in the meantime I am holding myself over with sweet videos like this
I'm fostering a 6 month old red/ cream ragdoll. I named her Misty. She had to be spayed and needed her shots. She is a sweetheart and is getting adopted on Thanksgiving. I will miss her lively spirit and purrs. I know she will be loved and a member of a loving family.
Lovely name Misty 😍😻
Misty went off to her Forever Home today. My home feels so empty with out her. I really feel very sad. She now has to start all over in isolation for 7 days. I am a wreck I should never have let her go.
Thank you for fostering.. the world needs more people like you!
Having a nosy round the bathroom 😹
He is very cute.
Awww so cute! Love how excited you were!
What a beautiful boy! All my cats have been rescues, but my husband and I do want to get a Ragdoll one day. My dearly departed Snowshoe Siamese was my comfort animal for 21 years--I think Ragdolls have that same loving nature. Congrats!
Oh my he is adorable💕 I was exactly the same as you on the excited front when we got our puppy this year, so exciting getting all their toys and bed etc.. and then that wait until you finally get to bring them home! Such an amazing time, enjoy😁
Hello Sarah
Thanks for this proper look into what to expect when I bring home a baby ragdoll. You’re all so lovely and gentle. He has such a little rascal personality. I think it’s settled for me, ragdoll it is🤍🙏🏼
I just discovered your channel and what a wonderful video to start with🐾 Welcome Baby Echo 🍃🤍🍃
Awwwww he is amazing!! We have a ragdoll as well and trust me you will have so much fun and so many adventures with your little floof!! Thank you both so much for being so nice to your Kittie, sometimes we see videos that aren't as nice so we appreciate people who love and respect animals! You have done great guys!! Much love to you both and your very own fluffito! 💕💕
Echo is such a cute lovely kitten, warm people and i love your house, greetings from the Netherlands 😻🤗🐾
Congratulations on your beautiful kitten. I miss my cat. I know what it's like to have a precious cat. All the best. God bless.
I love Ragdolls oh he’s sooo cute!! 😍
And a belated Happy Birthday to you! What a wonderful birthday present - your little Echo! 💙💜❤
Awe, he is SO cute!! Congratulations and Happy Birthday!! XOXO
My cats are indoor only cats and all rescues. If anyone has negative comments, they do not understand how important it is to find the best home for a rescue cat. Sounds like both you and the organization made the best decision for the cats. Have fun.
You chose a great breed for your needs, All kitties need homes not just rescues
her: *cleaning her home*
me: *looking at her house and how clean and cozy it looks*
We are getting our ragdoll next weekend and this makes me sooo happy and excited. Thank you!
Oh girlie I feel you so much! I love looking at all the stuff for the kitten! I cant wait to have mine
I totally understand getting a cat instead of adopting I had to do it as well because my mom is allergic to cats but I very much do agree with you with the support thing because I just got a kitten because I have been really stressed and sad lately and she has helped me so much so I hope for the best with you and echo!
This might sound silly but this made me cry a bit... Bringing my ragdoll home was one of the best days of my life. She's 5 now and a big girl! This made me really miss her as a baby. We never get this time with them twice.❤
Kittens don’t really respond to catnip. i guess they are crazy enough as is.
😹😹😹😹😹
I’ve never had a cat that cared about the catnip🤷🏻♀️
I am watching. Bringing home a Rag Doll Baby in 4 weeks! Thank you so much for the great video! Helped so much He is adorable and so happy he settled in quickly 😺😺😺
Cats are everything ☺️💕
11:55 the cat was like "hold up...is this a stickup"
I was wondering why you weren't adopting a cat, but from what you explained, for now you can't, which is fair enough. And I'm sure you've been careful to not get a cat from an unethical breeder, cause you're always kind and thoughtful. I've got my tea in a giant cat mug (completely coincidental!) so I'm ready for the cuteness overload. Bring it on!
OMG, how do you get anything done with a cute little cat at home?!
So happy for you. Thanks for video. Cats are best.
They are like potato chips you can't have just one.
