I think this is a new way to interpret the name of the Ragdoll cat. They act like ragdolls (the toy) when getting through tiny spaces. In this remarkable video on Twitter you see a Ragdoll cat pushing his way under a sofa but the gap he has to go through is 7 cm …
People thinking about adopting a purebred cat want to know whether Ragdoll cats are good with dogs and the answer at root comes down to whether an individual Ragdoll cat is socialised to dogs in general.

“House cat” means a domestic cat so the question is asking what’s the best domestic cat out of the cat breeds (purebred cats). These are selectively bred over many decades.

In other words, is the Ragdoll cat predisposed through genetic inheritance to any specific illnesses? And the answer to that question is yes. It is quite clear from my …

You can’t ask if Ragdoll cats are destructive as it is unwise to generalise too much particularly as this character trait is unusual. The question presupposes that all the cats of a single cat breed have exactly the same character trait; in this instance destructiveness. That’s not right. You can ask if an individual …
