Are Bengal cats dangerous?

PoC avatarPosted on March 19, 2021 by Michael BroadMarch 19, 2021

No, Bengal cats are not dangerous to people. They might be dangerous to mice, though! If they are allowed to hunt outside, which is unlikely. Or birds and so on but people, no, provided they are socialised like any other … Continue reading →

PoC avatarPosted on November 21, 2020 by Michael BroadNovember 21, 2020

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. What I mean is … Continue reading →

When Kitty is afraid of new people. Getting comfortable with visitors.

PoC avatarPosted on August 16, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 16, 2020

Presence of mother during socialisation of kittens can be a positive or negative influence

PoC avatarPosted on August 4, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 4, 2020

Sixty-five percent of cats and kittens are securely bonded to their people

PoC avatarPosted on July 30, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 30, 2020

Domestic cats are not born to love people and their default position with respect to other cats is to be suspicious of them. This is the nature of a solitary animal. I wonder, though, if this is entirely true after … Continue reading →

Domestic cats are not born to love people and other cats

PoC avatarPosted on May 8, 2020 by Michael BroadMay 8, 2020

Are Ragdoll cats destructive?

PoC avatarPosted on April 29, 2020 by Michael BroadApril 30, 2020

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 … Continue reading →
