Actually because of them not having an undercoat they can be considered hypoallergenic. Some people are allergic to the dander they produce while others are allergic to the protein in their saliva. If the person knows they are allergic to just the dander these cats are perfect for them, that's the case with my dad. We own two :)
thanks for sharing :D
My Mom and step-dad are allergic to cats, so if they know its just the dander, you’re saying maybe we could get a ragdoll?
@Facts about Cats could you have a ragdoll if you take allergy shots
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos
They are NOT hypoallergenic.
Can you please share with us what type of food is good for a ragdoll?
I am new to this, sorry for my weird question 😅
They will follow you-EVERYWHERE.
Lol love it!
YES! I have never been anywhere alone since I got her.
A fluffy cute cloud that follows you everywhere sounds *awesome* !
Even if their asleep. If you leave the room they will get up.

totally sounds like my binx 😂😂😂
I just lost my 16 year old ragdoll, to stomach cancer. She was my best friend. The smartest cat I've ever seen. I miss her so much. She was beautiful and sweet to the very end. The cancer was swift and horrible. I am so sad. Just had to write to say I was blessed with her sweet spirit for 16 years and I will always be grateful to have shared life with her.
I’m pretty much experiencing the same loss of my 16 year old ragdoll too. I lost her to liver cancer and shut down kidneys. Just knowing that our best friends are always going to be with us in our hearts makes me so happy that we gave them the best life we could. Being able to have one was one of the best decisions of my life. ♥️🐾
Sorry for your loss
I’m sorry to both of you 😢
awww
I’m really so sorry for that. Sometimes the good times go by fast. Either way, I know your precious ragdoll loved you and enjoyed you. I know that you cared for her very well. She lived a long life, keep that meow in your heart buddy :)
We have our first Ragdoll and used to have Persians that passed a few years ago. Totally different cat. The Persians were sweet but very independent. This Ragdoll is incredibly playful, ridiculously cuddly, loves to sleep with my wife and I, and could replace my alarm clock as she wakes me up with purring and soft taps on the face when she's ready for breakfast.
Thanks for the insight, needed some comparison between persian vs ragdoll
can i have only one ragdoll in my small apt? how many hours can i leave it alone at home?
@@disneysunkissed I leave mine alone 3 days a week during 12 hour shifts and she gets very excited when I get home. I give her a lot of attention on my 4 days off and before bed. She likes company, but she hasn't caused any damage or anything that makes it seem like she has anxiety being on her own.
They ARE smart and they do follow you around……unless they’re sleeping. They do need a GENTLE brush every day but they enjoy this and it’s easy to do whilst petting them. They get hot easily so don’t sit on your lap……..unless they’re very cold. Very social and gentle cats that like to be with the whole family.
❤️
Now I know why my raggie sits to my side on sofa never on my lap I just thought it was her being weird lol thanx!!!!
Are there any personality differences between the male and females? I’m thinking of getting one for my mom.
I had to leave my rescue cat at her house due to getting hospitalized out of state. I then ended up staying here, so it’s been months. Now she is bonded, but I want my kitty back. 😢
She’s pretty much an unofficial emotional support cat. She’s extraordinarily emotionally tuned in. She helped me through grief after my friend passed away. She never left my side, even “beating me up” to do something when I was staying too long in bed and wallowing. It’s like she knew. When I was severely sick with flu, she give me space, but came up and sniffed me every couple of hours. Made me feel like I had a guardian lol. Very special cat. My mom never even liked cats before lol.
@@be.A.b best to ask a registered breeder that question ❤️
Owning a ragdoll myself, they're worth it! My boy is 13 years old and is very healthy today.
I foster kittens for two years now and little male rag doll came with one of the litters this past month. Big blue eyes and one of the sweetest kittens I have ever met. And yes, we are keeping him. He is our third fail foster.
❤️❤️
Love this kind of fail story.
I had to say goodbye to a ragdoll a couple weeks ago. He gave me years of cuddles and happiness, and he seemed to start regarding my lap as a comfort zone. Every day with him was precious, and I'll miss him dearly.
I'm sorry you lost your little buddy ❤
Hah. Our 2-year-old ragdoll Leon is super energetic and was never happy just sitting at home. We've been going on several-kilometer harness walks with him since he was only a kitten. Even a 5-kilometer jog doesn't tire him out. He most definitely demands A LOT of exercise. Thankfully, we were of the thought of regularly going outside with our kitties but I didn't think it would be this much. Oh well, healthy for us humans as well.
The HCM issue is tough - we adopted a rag doll that was from a shelter. She was partially albino and an amazing kitty! Unfortunately, Flower passed away at age 4 due to the hardening of her heart.
The good news was that she was playing with her brother up till the very end and we were right there when it happened. Doctors told us that medication would have only extended by a little time.
They are awesome pets. Had two for 16 years.
I am a new owner, and I don’t really know what to do with my kitty yet. But thanks to this video, I now know how to treat my babies. Thanks a lot for creating this! 😊
We just got a ragdoll kitten that I named Vaelin, she's a blue seal point with zero fear, we're going to train her to go on walks once she turns 6 months
Just adopted a two year old ragdoll from a rescue centre. She is a beautiful cat with no health problems. So far I can see no down side. However the rescue centre gave us a good briefing on what to expect. Yes they do require a lot of brushing, attention etc but you get back what you give.
3:46 my poor ragdoll stampy, he was so beautiful I got him when I was 7, now I’m 14 and he recently passed due to this, he was only 6. Poor little guy. I miss him so much 💔
My ragdoll cat is about 21 years old. She decided that after my sister brought her home I was her human. She took any opportunity to bolt into my room that she could even if you tried to keep her in a bedroom with the door shut. She knew the door would eventually open and she'd bolt. I'd hear my dad call out for her and I knew that if I turned away from my desk she'd be sitting on my bed right behind me looking right at me, looking for an opportunity to jump in my lap, or trying to climb on my desk and I didn't notice her yet.
I've just got my Solid blue point recently. He's super playful, but also very loving after his play sessions. I'm assuming he'll get lazier as he ages.
Either way, he's been such a blessing but he is very smart and will try to open my shower as I'm in it. Which in turn let's all that damn early cold morning air in 🥶😂
My dad was allergic to our old cat but our new one he is perfect with and do love each over when their together
They are lovely cats, the only con I have noticed with mine is the super fine hair shedding…floating around, weaving into your clothes, sticking to your face, your eyeballs…everything 😳 😂 Also I did have a very smart and very big boy who used to reach up and steal food off of counters and open doors lol but he was also the sweetest and was definitely one of those cats who would come up and pat people and sit with them when they were sad.♥️
You used my cat twice here, how lovely 🥰 great video, even though I’m a big Ragdoll lover. And on the allergies, I have found that everyone having an allergy has less to no problems when at my house or near my cats. For hours even. So I’m surprised they aren’t lower in allergens
Pretty sure our family cat was part ragdoll. She was a black cat with shortish fur, but she had the flexibility of a ragdoll. I could drape her around my neck, and she was content to stay there, indefinitely. My current cat gets pretty antsy, no matter how I hold him.
I have a lilac lynx mitted and a seal, split faced, mitted tortie Ragdolls. They ALWAYS find me and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ them! Even though their fur corkscrews into every possible materials’ fiber I own!
Ahhhh, I absolutely love lilacs AND lynxes and the mix of them is just 😍 I would've loved our second ragdoll to have been either a blue or a lilac lynx mitted. Our boy Leon (2 years) is a flame mitted with an hourglass-shaped blaze and 1-year-old Lillia is a brown tortie bicolor. Flame is my favorite color but lilac comes in second. Lynxes are just gorgeous in any color, tho!
My ragdoll Felixxia is on a strict diet. So far so good, she sleeps lesser now and more active than before.
I've seen two in my life that I got to chill with. One male and one female. They are the sweetest!
Even though I’m allergic, I think that I would still adopt one. They are so cute!❤
I love our Ragdoll cat! Our adult Ragdoll loves to play every single day! She fetches cat toys like a dog. She brings it to us and we fling it, & she retrieves it. We have different activity toys that we rotate and set up every day. This is how much she likes to play. She loves playing in boxes too. She has a siamese sister & they are great together. She is very affectionate. She just "flops" in our arms & we tote her around all day long. The only thing we cant have in our home is any type of plant (we can have kitty grass) as she quickly destroys any plants or fresh bouquets of flowers. LOL We love her & her sister very much. If you are looking for an affectionate & fun cat I recommend a ragdoll cat. 😻 ❤️
Vacuuming after mine two fluffy bums is something. And we gave up on lint brushes long time ago 😆
So beautiful, and they also love water, something that I can be selective on certain cat breeds
I have a Ragdoll Siamese mix and his brother is a Siamese, they were both adopted about 7 months ago so I can tell having a rough start changed their personalities a little. But Royal the Rag/siamese is very smart, follows me everywhere, his fur is quiet light and not dense so he doesn’t require much brushing for now (he just turned 1) him and his brother are pretty active they run and play a lot so thats good and bad haha, good for his health bad for house and items. He is silly, he does need almost constant attention when awake (his brother too) even when those little butts are tearing my furniture apart I love them so much.
Some of the stuff in this video I don’t fine to be true with my Ragdoll but two things I certainly do find to be true is he loves to eat and he is smart.
Mine eats 12 hrs a day and finally conks out at 7 pm it's exhausting 😔
I have own mine follows me around everywhere unless she’s a sleep. She uses me as her permanent pillow. Low maintenance on brushing and she gets along with children too
My 2nd oldest cat is a mix of a savannah and a ragdoll. I have 7 cats of all sorts, japanese bobtail, savannah, bengal, etc. The savannah ragdoll mix is easily my favorite. Ive had her since the day she was born. Even as a kitten she would sleep on my bed when the other kittens were sleeping with their mom. Shes extremely smart and can even open doors (we have childlock handles on the doors now). She has also imprinted on me specifically. Shes not a big fan of other people or other cats, but shes obsessed with me. She follows me around and gets super happy and purrs like crazy when she gets any attention at all. Shes like an Akita in that she bonds strongly to 1 owner over all others. She also LOVES playing hide and seek. Shes 14 years old and still going strong. Shes never had any illnesses or health problems whatsoever. Everyone who meets her assumes shes a young adult. I highly reccomend ragdoll mixes to anyone who wants a healthy long lived cat. You cant get healthier than a ragdoll mix. Ragdolls have virtually no health issues as is, and outcrossing them to another healthy breed makes them even healthier. American Bobtails and Japanese bobtails, and savannahs are fun too. They are ALL basically like dogs. They both have no concept of personal space and seek out affection from everyone who visits. My american bobtails is my most doglike cat, and my japanese bobtail is like a playful little terrier. Just a little ball of energy that one is lol. Hes curious to a fault though lol. He has absolutely no self preservation instincts compared to the rest. I have some very large pythons (burmese, reticulated, african rock, etc etc) that he is always trying to sneak a peak at. id NEVER let him get anywhere near them, Infact they are all very securelt locked up, but i find it crazy that he tries so hard to get to them..... because they would absolutely eat him if given the chance. its almost like he's trying to get eaten. Let me reiterate though, they are ALL locked up with lock and key and have no access to my cats whatsoever. I would never ever ever allow my pets to injure eachother. I absolutely love both cats and reptiles of all sorts.
I have a ragdoll-Siamese mix, and he loves to help clean
We have a 3/4 ragdoll, shes the most affectionate pet you could imagine, shes thick as 2 short planks but has learnt that if she scratches the door she geta let in
My cat was very smart, one of the things she would do, she would take my mom hostage in a game of psychological extortion watching her from a specific place so she would feed her again, and again, no meowing needed, just a piercing stare towards her, it does not help my mom loves animals so much, if she denied tho, she would get revenge by various ways, I miss her so much, she had a deluxe life tho, 18 years of true happiness in our lives, and was so agile and energetic even until the end
Apart from holding my CoCo like a baby, brushing her is the best part. I got a detangling brush for people and use that on her. She NEVER has knots. I brush her everyday!
My male ragdoll was a street/stray. He survived with the instincts you need it took me two months to catch him. We have Coyotes here also that hunt actively down our streets. His claws/head are twice the size of a normal cat wouldn't be easy for a single Coyote.
I got my baby on Thursday and I can't get on with anything because I just want to be with her all the time ❤️❤️
YES THIS!!!
I'm bringing one home from the shelter i work at tonight. I had no idea they were this awesome. She just reminded me of the best cat i ever had that was siamese. I have a disabled French bull dog i wanted company for do you think it will be OK? The dog is very sweet boy aggressive ever.
Pretty rag dolls 😍
Yea
Thank you so much.
My flame point is the best cat I've ever had. Ragdolls are awesome companions.
❤️❤️
Sending our support from the caldera town of Irosin, Sorsogon.
Brushing my ragdoll every day has been therapeutic for me
My ragdoll is very shy and will run from strangers.
Have you been socializing them from a young age?
Same mine
Fabulous cats 💙🐈💙
My bf and I are owning two ragdolls (Fluff, one of them, is in my pfp ♥). Never want any other cat, they are amazing ;w;
I all ready have one
They are great!
Just saying for anyone wanting one I have 3 cats just got a ragdoll and when I mean this cat will follow your EVERYWHERE I mean it never leaves your side they are basically dogs
I have HCM, I guess this breed was made for me!
Those eyes wow
she is talking to us like it’s half time at the super bowl
That's true I was a dog person first time seeing a ragdoll cat made me feel a cat person,but dog is the best thing to irritate and true other cats are like hey I'm the king or the queen respect me and ragdolls are like sssoooo cutee
My foster mom bought me Ragdolls like the ones with red hair and I was terrified. I like these Ragdolls though
Only ragdoll cat i know - that little puff
My boy also loves to follow us everywhere. Even to the toilet while doing business. When we're in the living room, he meow very cutely to go out too... very cute and mischievous too.
Yeah my ragdoll has bad anxiety so she hates our other cat and people apart from me and my brother and she loves to be outside!
The wine aunt at 0:56 is brushing her teeth with cat piss.
I’ve had a lot of cats from Siamese to just a no breed cat. But I purchased a rag doll cat from a breeder. Brought the cat home around 3 months old thought first to give it space settle in but this cat was nothing laid back or easy going it would attack you bite you seriously attack door handles didn’t even have to move I did a lot of research before purchasing one and wanted something really laid back for my daughter it would bite scratch attack my daughter just walking across the floor she was terrified of this cat or would attack you as you slept bring blood. I had never seen a cat so mean. I have always been you get a pet it’s your forever pet. I took car to vet they have to wear gloves tried putting it in medication seemed to make it worse. but I would not have anything hurting my daughter so my experience with a rag doll was totally different than this laid back following loving cat. I went to the local shelter and got my little girl a kitten they are best of friends. So please I did my research before I got the cat from a reputable breeder I did take the cat back and she excepted and gave my money back. So just be careful I’m sure there’s some loving breeds but my experience was a total nightmare.
My belief has always been the owner shouldn’t pick the cat. They should let one of the cats pick you. I got a rag doll because she picked me (originally I had my eyes on a Sphinx, but that cat hated me) She was hugging me and I do mean she was wrapping her arms around me. I knew she had to be mine.
My breeder says a Ragdoll that doesn’t have a Ragdoll temperament isn’t really a Ragdoll.
I guess he means not well bred one.
Yikes, I don't think the breeder properly socialized it. My kittens were crazy when we got them but they never hissed or lashed out.
Our vet says there are sweet ragdolls and there are crazy ragdolls. Her words, not mine!
We have a ragdoll cross, he is very easy going and loves his food to a ridiculous degree....but damn he is dumb. He's pretty....but dumb lol.
@@lucideirune1635 Before my Rags I had two rescues, alley cats. One had lived at a grocery store. I let them choose me. I sat on the floor of the rescue center and waited on one to come to me. Lucky for me and the cat, the one who picked me had been at the rescue longer than any other cat.
mine wants food all the time like 24/7 and follows my mum around,also it bullies my other cat and it steals food from draws.
Cute
So I just god a ragdoll AND IT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER
Getting my boy blu point kitten in 3 weeks. Looking at what foods to get him etc
No kibble. Feed a raw diet.
I have one , good boy .
I LOVE RAG DOLLS
My ragdoll cat is terrified of meeting new people but that’s because he’s just a kitten, plus he’s an inside cat
Its a dream of mine to get 2 ragdoll kittens
Cool
All cats are good pets
"Ragdolls have low energy levels."
I don't think my Ragdoll got the memo lol
Mine plays fetch nj; he came to me one day growling (he was so sweet even hearing the growl shocked me, with a ball in his mouth, so I just took a shot, and he brought it back; so I gave him a treat. So not only do we get to play a game I’ve never had a kitty play, we bond, and more importantly because he was Pavlovian trained to come when I say “fetch,” inshallah we won’t ever have a fire, but if we do I know I can yell “fetch,” and I’ll have my Wills immediately.
Pavlovian train your cats with “treat” or whatever you wanna give them but do it so your babies will come too. PLEASE!
Wonderful, gentle giants..but..they do have an undercoat😌
They don't, actually. The breed description specifically says their coat is single-layered without an undercoat.
I want a Ragdoll
I have a Ragdoll called Mushu
❤️
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos he's got grey colour points
Sounds like any other cat, my normal cat acts like that and she is useful in catching mouses if some decide to come in. They are lovely looking cats but idk if they are worth
So, what I learned from this video is that Ragdolls are cats... They sound just like every other cat and cat breed I've ever had. Enlightening. 🙀
I’ve had domestic cats all my life and have noticed Ragdolls are definitely more dog like than domestics. They respond to being told what to do much more and are much more social and relaxed than most domestic cats.
@@Starandearthcrystals I can back this up too, I have a domestic cat who is lovely and I love very much but she is very shy around other people. I also have two ragdolls, these babies aren't afraid of anybody (well except the 3-year-old next door but they love my 7-year-old cousin) and greet humans at the door with their tails up. You can hold these cats in any way imaginable and they won't hiss or put up a fit. I've only heard them hiss two times in their life and they are affectionate boys who play fetch, walk on a lead, wake me up with snuggles and comfort me when I'm upset. I was crying at 12 am last night and my cat came in straight away to give me snuggles. Both domestic and ragdolls are great pets but ragdolls generally have a different temperament.
Ragdolls do have traits specific to their breed but they are obviously also individuals. Our older 2-year-old isn't a stereotypical ragdoll at all whilst his half-sister who just turned 1 year is the most gentle little cutie.
She loves rag doll
I picked this cat from the street a few months ago, I think he's a ragdoll possibly
Why should brushing your cat everyday be a burden? If doing yours is not. Unless you're freaking lazy. Cause its calming to owners too
“Ragdolls aren’t scared of meeting new people”
Me: looking at my ragdoll cat who whenever someone new comes immediately runs under the nearest bed or couch, because he is scared
Yeah sure……..
(I know that it’s his personality but I just found it funny😂)
My parrents ragdoll is scared of EVERYTHING since we got him. He is over 10 years now and it didnt change. Since i moved with my wife we got a ragdoll too, and he is absolutely the opposite way...
I have two RAGDOLLS, ages 10 and 11. They are great cats but one mats terribly. Here in SW Va. it is very hard to find a groomer. Neither goes outside, ever. But both love the screened in porch. It can never be too hot for one of them. They are smart and stubborn but I have had a cat my entire 75 years and will never get another breed. I will replace these two when they go. They are SO much company. Mine hate company and hide under the bed if they hear strangers. Occasionally one will appear for a walk through if a stranger is lucky!
I have a ragdoll and wish id got a persian 😂
Con #7: Humans are allergic to a protein in their saliva
Me, a cat lover: I DON'T HAVE SUCH WEAKNESSES
Don't get a ragdoll. He'll steal your heart.
I liked this video, now it has 1k likes
I think some of the cons will apply to all cats
My cat might have some rag doll blood in her since she has some of the looks of a ragdoll but not the color she’s really intelligent tho
They follow you everywhere and trip you up 😅
A dog can be a good company for a ragdoll?
My ragdoll is afraid of his own shadow . He was iver a year ild when i got him. He hates to be held i think he was abused before we got him

After this I can finally say
My ragdoll is broken
So cute
even though Raggies prefer the ground, can they climb trees like most cats?
Yup
Ragdolls do not have instincts other cats have. They should NOT be outdoors unless on a leash. Any tree they climb should be indoors. My two do love to be up high on their perches. Before getting a Ragdoll you should research them so you will be aware of their instincts.
my mother told me of this person who has been feeding all their cats human food for their whole life, and some of their cats lived up to 40 years..
My ragdoll cat hates anyone and everyone it took me a year to get her to like be she likes me on her own time
Each cat to their own, my ragdolls love everyone.
How old was she when you got her?
@@Charuid she was 9 she is turning 11 next month on the 5th
@@willowrose6644 Why was she re-homed?
@@Charuid her old owners got to old with to many health problems to care for her when I received her she had matted fur and in dire need of a bath but was WELL fed
My boy is easily the nosiest creature I've ever encountered.. He needs to see and fully inspect everything like its his job.. Couldn't imagine life without this breed
My ragdoll is an absolute idiot, but he's very very sweet.
Ragdoll PROS: handsome, huggable, etc. CONS: Dingle-berries, biters, clumbsy, fat, lol
